Hon. Lyman Trumbull.

We have just returned from an
hours conversation with Hon. Ly-
man Trumbull, who is now in tho
city on business in the supreme
court. Mr.. Trumbull is eighty
cne years old, one of the greatest
jurists this country ever produced,
and is to-day the nestor of his pro-
fession. We wish every laboring
man or friend of labor could have
listened to his words. This grand
old man far beyond the time of
life when personal ambition or
private gain could prompt such ac-
tion, has stepped squarely to the
front, and warned the great plain
people of the impending danger
which threatens them through the
unlawful cncrOachments of corpo-
rate power. He had the courage
to denOunce the greed and avarice
of the age, and demand Justice
and equality for the poor and dis
tressed. He declares the action
of President Cleveland in sending
troops into Illinois as an act of
He also declared Gov.
Atwood was right in his position
upon that subject. Mr.. Trumbull
fears revolution in the near fu-
ture unless the present system of
distributing the fruits of labor is
changed. In fact, he is in hearty
sympathy with the populist move
ment in behalf of labor, and re-
loices that his speech has been well
received by the labor element, and
has provoked so much discussion.-

ties. From there it goes to the
various townships and wards.
1t is strange | never heard OF
this before, pa!
Not SO very if you will consider
that it is always put into the hands
of candidates who are more inter
ested in the result than any one
else. You bet they will never tell.
But ga, who takes the initiative
DO these rich easterners send out
the money voluntarily, and say
here take this money?
Oh, no, no. The state commit
tee, after careful canvass of the
situation, sends one or more Of its
members to New York to lay the
matter before the national commit
tee and get the money.
But why, pa, does the money
power, as you call it, contribute to
both parties in the states!
Tut, tut. l didn't say all the
states.
But don't they send money into
all the states as they do in Indiana! {!
No, such states as Vermont,
Maine, or Texas don't set any.
Why not!
As general thing the doubtful
states are the ones that get the
money. You see, the appeals for
money are made by the candidates
themselves. They are afraid they
will be beaten if they don't have
money to buy votes with.
l thought the Australian ballot
law was passed to prevent the buy
ing of votes.
All, my son, it was passed to
lull the suspicious of men who
were getting disgusted with the
open buying Of votes, and who
threatened to bolt the old party
tickets.
Really, does it not make buying
votes a crime!
Yes, tut the cunning fellows SO
framed the law that in order to get
the buyer into Jail the seller would
have tc go also. This makes the
law a dead letter, as no man will
incriminate himself in orier to i'm
prison some one else. If the poll
ticians had wanted to stop the buy
ing of votes, which they didn't,
they could have done SO in day,
by making the law SO the seller
could inform on the buyer without
LAM ger to himself.
What assurance, pa, have the
rich beneficiaries as you call them
If class laws, that this money they
send here will be honestly used.
Excuse rue, l don't mean honestly
lsed. But applied to the purpose
'or which it is intended.
Every assurance in the void, as
he men who are to use it are the
candidates themselves, or men who
will receive fat Offices by appoint
nent if not candidates. Even if |
he men who received it should |
,ocket it the result would be the |
anne to the men who gave it.
How do you make that out!
Because the party leaders will !
till be under obligations to the
lonners, and they will deliver the
,oods just the same.
Deliver what goods pa!
Well you see it is this way. The
ounty central committee, or
courthouse ring" always dictates
Tho shall be nominated for the
legislature, and he is the man who
the goods. In other
lords, he votes as these rich men
ell him to on bills that affect their
interests. For instance, the rail
Dads in this state don't pay more

thing is not done to down the mon

What do You mean, pa. Gone
how!
Why. | mean no government can
stand when it gets SO corrupt.
What do you mean by corrupt!
Why, a government is corrupt
when voters sell their votes for
money.
Who furnishes this money, pa
Why, they get it from New
York.
From whom did they get it?
Why from the money power, of
course.
How did the money power get
so much money!
Why they got it!
But how did they get it?
Well they are the benefciaries
of unjust laws.
What is a beneficiaryl
/ mean they get the benefit Of
such laws.
What laws!
Why the class laws that have
been passed for the last thirty years.
What do you mean by class laws!
l mean laws passed solely in the
interest of these rich scoundrels
who are exploiting the people.
Exploiting them how, pa!
Why my son, there are living in
the east mostly a lot of wealthy
men who, taken collectively, con-
stitute what is known as the "mon-
ey POWER" BY bribery and
corrupt use Of money, they get
laws passed that enable them to
form monopoliss and trusts to rob
the people.
Why don't they put them in Jail !
Oh, they can't.
Who can't!
Why the authorities.
Can't they pu. robbers in jails
Oh, yes; little ones have to 60,
but the great robbers &c free.
Why don't they imprison the
great ones.
They can't, they bribe the courts
in such way as to escape.
To 60 back little pa, / want
to know why people way off in
New York should send money to
Indiana? What difference does it
make to them how Indiana goes!
Oh, they want it to 60 republi-
can.
Dent they ever send any money
to make Indiana 90 democratic!
AheE-ah-say you go to work

But / want to know.
Well, to be frank with you they |

Well they sent money in 1892.
How much pa!
l don't know just how much,
put good many thousand dollars.
How was it used!
1t was sent to the different coun-
y central committees. Some coun-
les got more, some less. Some
counties only get few hundred
iollars,. while other counties get as
many thousands.
But how was it usedl
If l must tell you, it was to buy

Did the democrats ever get any

election.
How, pal
By voting against the bill.
But you said this money to buy
votes with came from the east.
And so it did, and these men are
from the east who own the rail
roads, etc.
Don't Indiana men own theml
No, in many cases the stock and
bombs are owned by Englishmen.
But pa, l can't see yet why these
eastern capitalists should send mon
ey to both parties.
Well, you see, they don't know
just exactly how the election will
60, so to be On the safe side they
give to both parties, then they are
safe, whichever wins.
But pa, how do they evade the
Australian ballot law that we are
told is so strict.
Easy enough my son, when all
the election machinery is in the
hands of the men who wish to
evade it. They both buy votes
one way or the other, and each
party knows it. Both are equally
guilty, SO no prosecutions fellow.
The buying is more secret, SO this
lulls the suspicious of the goody
goody fellows, which is all the law
was intended to do.
Don't both parties demand free
ballot and fair count!
Yes.
Yet they both know each other
to be guilty of fraud!
Yes.
And they both know they know
it2
Yes.
Then why say so much about it!
This is another sop thrown to
the church members and Sunday
school teachers and women, who
are innocent as lambs, so far as
election methods 60.
Now Pa, ycu are a Christian,

Oh, well, they all do it.

Well what of it!

Oh come now, I'm sorry 1 told
you anything. Besides I'm can
