The Peoples Party Parade
Tonight.

A most successful Democratic meeting
Was held at Redondo on Saturday night.
Mr.. John F. Humphreys addressed the
meeting. speaking in part as follows:
This being my fifth attempt az an
amateur speaker to address the public,
appear az grain of sand in the mortar
OF oratory to build the wall of defense in
behalf OF an unsuspecting people. am
pleased to see the ladies present. The
signs OF the times bring them forth to
see 1t their particular hubby ia the only
man being pinched by hard times; or
are we all in the same boat, ladies'? We
are; 60 don't scold. Some are here with
their children. and may say II. during
this meeting. there is any mention Of
the Mckinley bill or other internal ma.
chimes, and the children cry, don't
worry and take them out, for there 10
alarm enough to make you all cry, and
you will in time II you don't think and
act true to yourself and country. When
say fellow citizens l mean it in its
truest sense; mean it as n friend. as a
ueighbor, as one OF you. As good citi.
Gems our interests are identical. One
man sits down and loans HE money for
all he can get; another builds etore Tor
some tenant. and to be consistent with
my views, and. further believing that
the farmer is the ''salt OF the EARTH"
am devoting most OF my time and little
means adding to the material wealth of
this country by opening up naw or
chards and alfalfa fields. l arm not here
to abuse those differing with me, but
that we Inay lay aside party prejudice
and reason out the problem az to why
these hard times, why this unequsl dis.
tribution OF wealth. why fv3 men in
New York suddenly acquire $500.
100000, while more than 100000
men walks the street pleading
or work or bread. Why. in 1890 one
per cent OF this people owned more than
the Other 80, and that out OF tho $780,
1872 families, as shown by the census,
4047 families owned 7.l0 Of the entire
wealth?
was present at q largo Repu blicsn
meeting at Cotton last Saturday evening
and heard Congressman Bowers speak.
He charged all our sorrows to the period
within the Is months the Democracy
have been in power, and that dreadful
Wilson bill. l don't think he left out =
single thing exceptit 1t was the war In
China and this dry season. Even on
that score he said: 1--WE never miss
the water till the we'll goes dry" MY
friends are your financial wells nearly
dry? Mr.. Bowers did admit that the
Wilaon bill had only been in force two
) months. Has your we'll only bsen dry
1.-two months or dry even two yesrs ?
/ Has not the product of the farmer been
on gradual decline for more than two
) years, and has there not sprung up in
b6ur midst handful of princely million
aires and now fortifying themselves to
cap the lie from this people as the scale
II did our orange trees? Give mo two
deadly weapons that have been swayed
by the Republican party for the past
quarter Of a century with unrelenting
Jury, and can accumulate for myself
and henchmen colossal fortune,
eclipsing the Astors' and the Goulds'.
Give me q high protective tariff
not for the people, but such as was given

} such as Mr.. Havcmeyer stated under
oath that his sugar trust cleared 80 mill
lions in three years, such as playing into
the hands of trusts and party leaders as

commissions report on the Central Pa.

Governor Patterson of PeLnsylvania
:, and associates. wherein four Gall
fornians made a profit of $1l5, ,000, ,O0E,
besides $34, 30S 535 of dividends. When
this is done then give me as the other
weapon the confdencs that has been re-
posed in the great messiah Of the Re-
publican party, John Sherman, 90 the
agent OF Wall and Lombard streets, out
OF which and while on . small salary es
United Sttaes senator his commissions
seem to have ranked him among the
oft-times millionairee of our country.
Do you remember anything about in
hation? Then contraction? We're you
In this country along with Mr.. Sherman
in 1873? Did you hesr anything drop :?
Has silver and the prod Of our coun-
try ever ceased to drop? Daniel Web
ster once said: Liberty cannot long
continue in country where the tend
ency is to contract wealth in the hands
OF the fOw," and Abraham Lincoln said /:
o "If government contracts debt with
. certain amount Of money In circulation
and then diminishse the volume of
money before tho debt ie paid it was a
J most heinous crime." Aud get, under
4 the fiEancial management OF Mr.. Sher-
man, the $40 per capita in 1866 was re-
duced to about IS in 1857; and today, in
, this state, standing on the carcass OF the
great people, we find Dan Burns carry
ing out the predictions OF the illuatrious
Webster and Lincoln.
NV brother, are you asleep or are you
tdead, killed by party prejudice. or can
y reason bring you to life? DO you insist
on becoming simply truants at will to
lords and dukes. like the slaves Of Great
AZ fBritain? II so, continue to slur ber in
the arms OF the dear old Republi-
can party. Or do you wish to
d become free men and aid in the building
up in this proud land of ours q beacon
light of intelligence, peace and prosper
ity that will shine into all the recesses
!, OF the earth? If &C. be honest with
yourself and toward your neighbor !;
read and act upon the doctrine laid
iodown bv the illustrious Thomas Jetfer-
o son. Can this be done with the s. p. r.
ON your neck. with legisla-
} dnre to do their bidding; with Mr.. De
irfoung to champion ite cause for har-
boz appropriations. to tic you hand and
loot like San Francisco and Oakland, to
nOppose the Salt Lake road, to contine
ispigecn-holing all effortu to build the
b Nicaragua canal, to paralyze every in
/ ivdustry antagonistic to the graed OF said
serOad?
