dlvldual and corporation wealth de-
manGing that it shall not be disturbed
by the slightest touch of the tax gath

the government or the oppression of
the tO!iing masses.
For no earthly consideration would
paint an Unjust picture of the dangerous
pretensiOns and intOlerable arrogance
OF accumulated wealth now manifest in
this county; but. speaking i'll the fear
Ut my Maker, l devoutly believe that
the limit OF endurance has been
reached; that the time has come for a
test to be made between the power of
boarded MONEY
and the power of productive labor; that
the people from this time forward. more
than ever before. will organize and take
rapid and heroic measures against the
continued and brutal dicta,ion Of the
plutOcracy, against the paramount in
tuence of wealth, against the rule and
supremacy of the rich in shaping the
financial policy of this government in
their own Interests.
Referring to the wool schedule, he
said:
Ii l believed wool on the free list
would hurt the farmer, would not vote
for the pending bill. 1t is matter OF
actual demonstration, however, which
has been often is.ade. that free wool, &C
cOmpanied by such reduced rates as can
be placed on manufactures of wool. and
which are placed on them in this bill, is
one or the greatest blessings that can be-
fall tie farmer. If the farmer should
get an increased price for his wool by
reason Of tariff for its protection, he
will pay it all out and much more to the
manufacturer as a duty on WOODEN

sons and daughters of toll shall rise up
aud call their government blessed.
| Sir. this is the birthday of Thomas
Jefferson. One hundred and tfty-One

the greatest emancipation of thought,
| philosopher of liberty and teacher OF
the natural rights of man ever known
in hnman history. The blows he struck
for freedom, justice and equality in gov

the earth, and they will never cease to
be heard until the last shackle of prvi-

before his soul took flight from his
mountain home he wrote his parting
words to his own countrymen and to all
the races of mankind. With this great
dying message before us, and in its
spirit, we take new courage and go Oh
with our Work. "All eyes are open, OIL
opening" he said, Ito the rights of man.
The general spread of the light of sci

view the palpable truth that the mass
of mankind have not been born with SAT
dies on their backs, nor favored few
booted and spurred ready to ride them
legitimately by the grace of God"

All hail the cOunSelS OF Thomas JEFF
ferSon in this hour of caste based or
wealth, of privilege granted by law
and of monopoly fastened OH the slavery
OF liberty.
