be was being f0Tsaksn by all his old
friends. Bat after 3 while it began to
be seer that for each great banker that
left him four OF Eve honest farmers,
mechanics and lahoring men came to
him. All Ar. President, in those days
the Democratic party was Democratic,
No. sir: the Democratic party then was

Well, what was the final resaltg
When the election was W. and the
vote counted Andrew jackson, The
Hero Of the People, had swept the
whole country by storm! He had more
majority than the other candidates had
votes Then Democrats rejoiced with
an exceeding great JOY, Bonires were
kindled on the hills, church bells were
rung and towns, villages ana cities
were illuminated. And amid the gen
eral joy the jackson men sang q song of
victory. How well l remember those
glorious days. Sixty years have rolled
around since, but / can hear that song
yet:
"Freemen! cheer the hickory tree,
In storms its boughs have sheltered thee,
Ger fTeedman's land its branches wave
1t was planted on the Lions grave"
Yesl Andrew jackson was indeed q
great man and his name will live for
ever with the Republic. He crushed
the great money power of his day and
generation, as a strong man brushes an
egg shell in his hand. Thus he saved
the people of his day from the grinding
curse of a monied aristocraey; it vas
left for Grover Cleveland to set up a
monied oligrachy to rule oyer the United
States. Think of the president of this
Republic paying ten millions Of dollars
TO a gold-bug a%ristocraeF in Wall Street
for what2 Why for shielding 40 mill
lions Of free men for a few short months
from the ''demnition bow vows"
And thus it is, if Grover tells the
truth, that the greatest Republic on
earth is dependant for a breathing spell
on the monied ~aristocracy of Wall
Street. Not an a~ristocracy of mind,
but such Al ar~istocraey as John Ran
dolph characterised, when lie said. ''it

Every man should read the history of
the great battle between jackson and
the money power in ''Benton's Thirty
Years in the Senate'': Yes! and teach
1t to his children, so that they may
know that ''there is indeed II God Of
Israeli and that his justice cannot

Gov. Altgeld is lighting the same
battle that Jackson fought sixty years
ago. Yes, and with the same ability
and zeal, and his name will be green in
the hearts of millions of people, long
after Grover Cleveland and his time
sewers are forgotten, or, If remembered,
remembered only in the curses and ex-
~ecrations of the people they have SO
basely betrayed.
