rupt the politics OF the country.
Lynch law used to be confined to the
West but of late years it has been work
ing east while not leaving the west,
! until to-day more men are executed oy
lynch law than by the legal representa-
tive. Why is this' You say the courts
are all right. You know better. Every
mob that INDUCES in lynch law tears
the constitution of the country into tat
ters If the courts are all right why DO
the clean handed and cool headed people
of the country permit it to exist? sat
on the porch with an old and respect
able citizen Of town in Ohio the otner
day within q few hundred feet OF tree
from which q mob OF fifteen hundred
people hung a young man few days
before. By unmasked men and In
broad daylight be was taken from the
Jail and hung. No arrests were made
and no one can find out who committed
the deed. | asked the old gentleman
why they did not leave him In jail 70
await the action of the courts, and his
answer was, Because not man here
thought he would be punished for the
crime we were persuaded he nad COM
mitted.
Organized crime controls the'courts OF
justice and men proved guilty OF crime
are permitted to escape. In the United
States to-day the only law that is ter
ror to the confined evil door is lynch
law. You think that too strong. LOOK
at the combination-corrupt capital
corrupt public men-corrupt voters or
ganized to control the courts and coun-
ellis of the nation.
This com ination defeated the prohl-
billion amendment in OHIO, Pennsyiva-
mia, Michigan and West Virginia, ana
controls to-day the cities OF the nation
The corrupt vote Of the country has
its headquarters In the saloon Whlch
first produces 1t; they organize II, and
then sell it. The wlgal-wagal returns
of the slum districts of the large cities
for the last few years demonstrate TINS
fact beyond question.
Jaw Gould's secret OF power consisted
In his ability to pay campaign expenses
A Republican in New York, he was
Democrat In Missouri. that he might
control their legislators in his own In
terest. Mr.. Mills then paid his compl-
ments to the Pullman strike, and de-
nounced In an emphatic manner the lies
that were In the public print in regard
to the same. He declared that from
personal investigation and enquiry, he
was convinced that most, II not all OF
the Pullman strikers, were American
citizens, born on American soil, sober,
industrious and orderly, and that
through the influence OF a corrupt
press they had been wilfully and inten-
tionally misrepresented. The influence
Of the saloon on this and all other
strikes was TO injure the workmen ana
help the capitalists. He had person
ally endeavored to influence large en-
ployers of labor TO hire only sober men,
but had uniformly been successful, and
as an explanation OF the fact gave a
conversation between himself and q
large mine owner, who gave as a rea'
son that men who do not drink save
their money, and are able to carry on
strike without starving to death, while
In every case men who do drink can
be depended on TO break the strike. "
He stated that the great railroads OF
Michigan and Iowa were opposed to the
prohibition OF the saloon because IL In
terferred with their power TO control
the government OF those States. The
corrupt vote was necessary 10 their
success. The saloon was the rallying
point for this vote and to abolish the
saloon was to destroy their most power
full ally. This country was rapidly be-
coming a government Of corporations
by corporations, for corporations-and
any person who could not get q job In
the corporation let him keep off the
grass" or 20 to Jail. The audience paid
strict attention and thought 1t was evil
dent many did not agree with BIN In
his eductions. The unusual verdict was
that his statement OF facts was not to
be questioned.
