Ny dear huckleberries, you all
voted for me, didn't you! We all
belong to the same church. I'm
Democrat, l can prove it by over
100000 men who voted for me.
Twas three times the nominee of
the party and twice elected. This
forever puts to rest any doubt as
70 my being a Democrat. There
fore what / say say by authority.
Listen to me. Notice well the words
of our text. There has been some
kicking against my administration.
But all along it has been right in
line with our text. ''For whom
soever hath, to him shall be given"
Havemeyer had the sugar trust.
We gave a chance to make money
out of it. This, my dear clod-
hoppers, is in accordance with the
text. What are you kicking about! {!
The National banker had some
bonds. We gave him some more.
He has gold; we are giving him
more. He has gold; we are giving
him more gold every day. To
him that hath shall he given. See!
l had something. / get more.
This has been great administra-
ton ''for whomsoever hath" The
men who bought the last Issue of
bonds had the money. They made
two million dollars on the transac-
ton. BY my refusing to sign the
tariff bill the sugar and whisky
trusts were enabled to make mil
lions of dollars by the delay in it
becoming law. You see to him
that hath shall be given. But to
proceed with our text; but whom
soever hath not, ''from him shall
be taken away even that he hath" !"
That part - the text, my sweet
scented rcosSsr carriers, applies to
you. mean you fellows who have
to work for a living. You have
nothing 10 speak of, and hence
have to work for what you get.
God has blessed you with health
and good appetite. You have
no wealth to burden your minds
and disturb your peaceful slumbers
that is, most of you have not.
You that have, according to the
text, it is our duty to take it away
from you. "Whomsoever hath
not. from him shall be taken even
that he hath" Certainly. For
that purpose we got up the panic.
For that purpose we issued the
bonds. Mark how beautifully that
bond issue fits into the words of
our text. aFor whosoever hath,
fthe banker,) to him shall be Civ
en-, (bonds,) and he shall have more
abundance, (bank netes,J but whom
soever hath not, (the people, from
him shall be taken away even that
he hath," Through interest on
bonds). 1t is great scheme, and
you all voted for it, and still in
dorsc it, because you stay in the
party. My dear, darling green
horns, we thank our stars for the
simplicity of your faith and your
unswerving obedience. The Hin
doc mother has been known to
sacrifice one child under the wheels
of Juggernaut, but when it came
to the second one she would stop
to argue the case. Your faith is
more sublime. To conform TO the
words and meaning of our text
many of you have shown willing
ness to sacrifice your whole fami-
lies. Us s'that hath" rejoice at the
sublimity of your faith and will
contribute literally to buy soup
for you.. Remember that in Civ
ing up what you have you are
abiding by the words of our text.
Take consolation in that and glass
of beer at freelunch counter, and
be glad that you belong to such a
