the effectY Has it cured the sick pa
tient? If it has not, then would it not
be proper subject Of inquiry as to
whether we should continue the treat
ment any longer? I may liken the re-
publican party to an old army surgeon.
He never had anything to give sick
soldier but quinine and calomel, and
they were administered for everything
from the small pox to the itch, and
from an ague shake to ASiatic cholera.
And in likeness to the old army doctor
is the republican physician, admins
tering his remedies of high protection
and an honest dollar, in large and con-
stantly increasing doses. What
has been the effect of the treat
ment thus far? l may state it with
out the fear of honest denial by any
intelligent and conscientious per
son. 1t is that as fast as
the security of that protection be-
came ampler and still more ample, the
wages of the laborer whom it was es
pecially designed to benefit have be-
come more and still more depressed,
the conditions of the laborers service
still more onerous, and the tenure of
the laborer's employment more hazard
Gus and insecure. So utterly ineficacious
to accomplish the result claimed has
been that protective policy that of a
truth it may said that its coincidence
at least, if not its direct, effect exists
to-day in strikes and lockOuts and boy
colts, in riots but little short of rebel
lion, in dynamite and in the employ
ment of military force. The same is
true of that other remedy, that policy
of legislation which has eliminated in
what the republicans are pleased to
term an honest dollar. AS fast
under those specially mOralizing infu'
ences of money-burning and credit
strengthening and bond-funding and
silver demonetization and such like,
our dollars became honester and still
more honest, a flood Of mortgages and
foreclosures and failures and money
psnics and bankruptcies poured out
upon the country like neVer-to-be
emptied Pandora's box of evils. Now
my republican friend, if you are can
did man you cannot deny that.
But 1 have not said that your proteC
tive tariff remedy and your hones'
dollar remedy may not be good for
something. 1t is not necessary for me
to say that. They may be good for
something the patient has never had,
or something he may never have in the
future. only point you to the fact
that they have not cured the present
disease, whatever it may be, because
the patient has steadily grown sicker

and you who may be interested in this
particular phase of the political dis
cussion will remember that some
twenty years ago in Kansas, in Mis-
souri,, in all the agricultural states Of
the Mississippi and Missouri valleys an
agitation for the control of the rail-
ways began. 1t was called the Grange
agitation. Maximum rates we're estab-
lished beyond which railroad COM
pany might not charge. Throughout
all these states the question arose, can
we do that; is it within the power of
the legislature to determine charges for
the companyP The lawyers said no,
because these are private interests and
the capital Invested is private capital
and is beyond the regulation of govern
mental power. They carried the ques-
tion into the courts. 1t was finally
reached for decision by the supreme
court of the United States and that
eminent tribunal held that it was
within the legislative power to regulate
charges of railroad and warehouse COM
psnies. We supposed that the victory
had been gained. The decision was
hailed by usas a second Magma Charta,
new declaration of independence.
But the corporation lawyers, with that
pertinacity and persuasiVeness which
they only possess, besieged the court
and presented one phase Of the ques-
tion after another, until finally the su-
preme court of the United States prac-
tically reversed itself upon the subject.
It has now held that rates could not be
established by the legislature too low
to enable the railroad companies to
earn fair profit upon the capital they
had invested, and their fixed charges
and operating expenses. They did
that in case that arose in Texas. A
general freight schedule had been es'
tablished by the legislature of that
state, and the question arose whether
it was within the power Of the legisls-
ture of a state to fix an arbitrary rate
for the carriage of freight and passen-
gers upon a railway. The general legal
question of power was first decided in
the negative, and the court then went
further and held that in this particular
case the rates were unreasonably low,
The court wiped out the entire freight
schedule of the state, and to-day Texas
has no law regulating railway charges,
So it will be whenever these great ques-
tions are presented to the tribunals OF
the land. l make this prediction, that
when the question is presented to the
Judiciary of this country whether the
reasonableness of railway charges is
for jury to decide or is question fol
the judges to determine, they will hold
that it is not jury question but
question for the judge on the bench
And make the further prediction that
when the question is presented to the
courts, whether the charges which q
railway company is entitled to make,
shall be upon its actual investment in
its property or on its capitalization Of
bogus bonds and watered stock the
court will hold that it has nothing to
do with watered stock whatever; that
payment must be made on capitalize,

FRANK DOsTER'S LABOR DAY
SPEECH I'm TOPEKA, Sep
TENDER 8, 1894.
What Attitude Do the Political Parties
Sustain to the LabOringmenl
Of the Country.

the days thought, so far as it was
committed t. my friends here and my
self, was the relation which theSeVeral
political parties occupy to the lsboring
interests of the state; in other words,
which parties have done the most or
promised the most for the laboring
classes with the most reasonable pros
pect of those promises being fulfilled.
Ordinary, on an occasion OF this
kind, 1 would deprecate as heartily as
nv friend who has just taken his seat,
the obtrusion of anything partisan in
its character, and so far as it is pOssi-
bic for me to avoid saying anything
Dartisan in character, it will be done;
but the nature of the subject fOrbids
its discussion in generalities alone.
If there is anything that is of inter
est to the American people to-day it is
the question-what attitude does the
republican, democratic and Populist,
or other parties, sustain to the labor
ingmen of this cOuntry-What do they
promise to do for that class and for
their interestsP l know OF no filter
subject of discussion and thought on
an anniversary like this, than the one
I have named just now, provided 1t
be conducted in a gentlemanly man
ner, temperate in tone, and with a view,
not of partisan gain merely, but of serV'
ing the general public good. We have
heard the view of the democratic party
so far as one question of chief interest
is concerned, presented from its stand
point, and 1 regret exceedingly that
Mr.. Overmyer did not discuss more in
detail the views of himself and other
leaders Of such party upon more of the
questions of pending interest. know
of nothing filter to begin the discus
sion from the standpoint Of the Peo-
ple's party than to refer to the point
made by my friend upon the subject OF
the exercise Of power. The exercise OF
power is what the Populist party OBJ
iects to, and my friend and myself
differ only as to the remedies for the
repression of that power. AS l under
stand him, he believes in the old French
doctrine of laiSSez faire-let alone, let
things alone, let nature take its course
let things go as they will; but when he
comes to the proposition of a remedy
it inevitably was as it always will be-
the exercise of legislative power fol-
the suppression Of the evils of the other
power; and so he advises us contrary
to the doctrine of IatSSez faire to exer'
else a power to rid ourselves of an
other power.
Our view is that so far as concerns
the great public utilities-the railroads
and others that were incidentally men
toned, there is no power under the sun
by which their opposition to public in
terests, their oppression of the general
public, may be guarded against or pre-
vented other than to take them under
the power Of the general government
and make them matters of public con-
Germ, to be administered in the public
interest by that agency which we call
the government. We have tried the

4IS CndTdCI6E ISS DoCduS0 IL lS 'ClOJneu
with public interest"
Proceeding now to the main subject
of discourse, 1 call the attention of
this gathering, made up almost en-
tirely of the laborers of this city and
vicinity, to the fact Of the wide spread
and almost universal spirit of discon-
tent and unrest which prevails through
out the civilized world. 1t does not
exist here alone. 1t is not discon-
tent and dissatisfaction of our people
alone. 1t is worldwide in its Charac-
ter; everybody is complaining. Mill
lists in Russia, socialists in Germany,
anarchists in France, and in this coun-
try that large and constantly increas-
ing class which goes by the name of
paternalists and communists, and fat
lists and fanatics, and such like. These
various classes of people, not only in
the United States but throughout the
world, are all yOicing some complaint,
either against the government under
which they liVe,-the theory of
government under which they
live or against the social
organization Of which they are a part;
and the fact that they are so doing in
Vites the serious consideration of the
thoughtful citizen. There never was
anything like it in the history of the
race before. The discomfort Of former
times has been the discomfort of classes
alone; it has been temporary in its ma
ture and it has been easily overcome;
but now everybody is discontented. 1t
would seem that the only sat
is6ed and contented member of
the human family to-day is the
barbarian in the wilds of Africa. This
condition may we'll compel us to pause;
it may we'll cause us to think, and it
well justifes you laboringmen in
meeting here upon this occasion to
commune as to the causes that have
brought about this anomalous state of
affairs and the remedies for the same.
These conditions are not the results of
some malignant and uncomfortable
force operating in the physical or
moral worlds. That they may be rem
edied in part at least, that their Sc
verify may be mitigated by political
administration controlled by political
parties, under the leadership of states
men, admits of no doubt. Unless it
be conceded that such is true there is
then no excuse for the existence of po-
litical parties. My republican and
democratic friends can excuse them
selves for being republicans and demo
Gratis only on the assumption that their
party organization offers remedy for
existing conditions, and better one
than the other parties do. Remedies
have been proposed, and have been
proposed over and over again. Ever
since the close of the war the republi-
can party has been in power in this
country save one four years of execu-
tive administration of the democratic
party. 1t has had all save two or three
terms of one branch or the other Of
the congress of the country. These
conditions that l speak of have aug
mented in severity, have increased
until to-day 1 may say that the entire
body polite is sick of some social or
industrial ill. That such is the case is
