REED MAKES A CONFESSION.
Republican Party Hasn't Been as
Good az IL Might Have Been,
But VIII Try and Do Better In the
Future.

Waterloo, Iowa, Oct 26.-Thomas u.
Reed and party arrived in this city
this morning from Minneapolis. Froa-1
daylight to dark the ex-spes kers re-
ception has been one continuous oVa-
ton. Early this morning, crowds be-
sieged him in his car and an impromp-
tn reception was accorded him. rms
afternoon, Mr. Reed addressed an out
door meeting. at which the crowd IN
attendance was estimated at $4,000. He
said in part:
1.-THE conditions which confront US
are serious ones. By the last census,
we, as a nation, are credited with
wealth of S67. 000, 900 900. Where did we
get it? 1t is the result of the industry
and savings of 10000. 600 people VINO
have not only saved that vast amount,
but have lived pretty well besides But
in the past year we have experienced
what is a new phase in the history of!
the American people. A large portion
of them have been idle. Production
and savings by them have practically
ceased beyond immediate wants of
trade, and they have ceased to enjoy
the comforts of olden times. Thank
God. we have accumulated enough in
thirty years of Republican admins ira
lions to stand the reverses of the past
two years and two years more of Gro
YER; but we have suffered some of the
wants of civilization. 1t is time to call
a halt. We want to add to that $751;
900, 100000, instead of eating into it. 1
have no epithets to apply to the Demo-
cratic party, and if I should try ] don't
think an improvement. could be made
on the language used by the leaders of
the Democratic party. Il is a question
of business policy, of business sense,
rather than epithets We can't savel
the whole ship. but we can save soma
of the wreck. and we can add 10 that
until we have built a shin of bigger
mast and of stauncher pall than ever
sailed the ocean before. Business needs !
certainty; it is not gambling. A new
system has set in and business strives
to go on in lines of absolute certainty |
The present duty of the hour is to 8
change the conditions with which we
are confronted. l am not going to say
who is the cause of it. / am afraid il /
is because of the foolishness of all the
American peopIe-they made q little
punished for it. Under the American
constitution. we can't have Repentance J
all at once; but the significant and
beautiful silence of the president is :
conducive to righteousness of itself !
The Democratic leaders do not mean |
to allow peace and quiet
Chairman Wilson says it is just the |
DNSoAlliliils3 VI tic bdlllt- III. CltNEldllu !
says they have gained a vantage |
ground for a mex attack Senator !
Mills, from that great manufacturing ]
state of Texas, says they have taken |
the citadel and are going back for the |
rest of the town. / don't defend the
Senate bill. but the difference between |
that and the Wilson bill is great, and |
it is a decent difference. too. Protec- !
ton to American people will remedy |
the condition that now confronts US |
We are now getting some lessons of |
and il you want any more !
1 can tell you where you can get it, |
You wanted some of Gods arguments |
and you got them. One advantage of |
arguments of experience IS that you |
don't forget them. The Democratic !
party. torn and disheveled today, is |
ready to furnish promises, notwith- |
standing that they have thousands of |
notes in the banks marked no funds. |
They are trying to pass them on The |
American people. The Republican |
party has not always kept Up to what !
it should have done. but it has given |
the country its best laws founded on |
the good sense of the American peo- |
ple.'
Mr.. Reed spoke for over an hour. |
Other speakers were Congressman |
Hit, of Illinois. and. Congressman |
Henderson, of Iowa.
