thousand people attended the Somer-

present were drawn to see and hear
Senator David B. Hill and other nota-
bles. Senator Hill made an address,
in which he said: lit is true good
laws may aid us and bad laws retard
us in the great struggle OF life. Still
the fact should be impressed on every
one that good bad or Indifferent laws
do not of themselves alone ordinarily
make men rich or poor, good or bad,
vicious or virtuous; but that much, II
not almost everything essential, de-
ponds on individual efforts and ten
denotes, tastes and inclinations. The
new-iangled political heresies teach
that the government should own and
control everything used by man. !
shall concede it wise and best that the
government should regulate all SEMI
public enterprises and institutions, but
it should not own or control them in
the sense in which teachers of these
fallacies clam. Such conditions would
be fatal to our government. Ii real
estate should be taxed, all such prop
erty should be taxed alike. If in
comes are to be taxed there should be
no distinction as to amount Such
things engender classes, the greatest
danger of government. Tariff laws
must be passed which will show no IA
voritism to any one. There must be
no favored few. Laws should be made

against the Chinese fleets. It is the
