MORE REPUBLICAN TESTIMONY.

Mr.. 81. John, Of the Rock Island, said a

bonds, or foreigners, but mostly honest,

full of the idea that a personal appeal to

guns and bullets is not only preposterous,
but it is madness. The moment the gov

employees in gaudy raiment and send
them up to the national capital in
palace cars, as living witnesses Of the
prosperity of American workingmen
under q republican tariff system, to
protest against the horrid Wilson
bill. Were these men headed off by
the police and the national guard and
forbidden to enter the sacred pre-
cincts Of the cspltall No, they were
met by q brass band and nothing was
too good for them. Even members
of congress went down to the Baltl-
more & Ohio depot to greet them on
their arrival.
The Times says, speaking of the
demands Of the Coxey army:
Suppose 5000 or 10000 or 100000 such
men as are now marching toward Wash
ington should assemble there and make de-
mand that congress adopt these policies,
what then? Will congress yield to the de-
mands Of even 1OO,OOOP Not likely. There
are 10 million voters in this land and each
is entitled to be heard before such changes
are made.
How about the demands of those
workingmen sent to Washington in
palace cars by the protected manu-
facturers? Have the 10 millions of
voters in the United States any claim
to be heard before these demands are
grsnted' And how is it when Wall
street or the railroad corporations,
the sugar trust or the Standard Oil
company, or the thousand and one
other combinations of capital send
their representatives up to Washing
ton to ask Legislation to facilitate
their schemes of piracy, are the 10
millions of voters of the United
States entitled to any hearing before
their demands are granteds Do
they get a hearing? When they
send in their protests are they ever
consideredl And why does not the
Times protest against legislation in
the interest of these public robbers
and demand that the 10 million
voters of the United States have an
opportunity to be heard before such
laws are enacted? The one-sided
plea of the Times political pettifogger
