do you, times in our history when the
majority of the people were made to
believe that certain policies would serve
their best interests, and when it trans

turned upon the party which deceived

The Judgment Of the people Is swift and
terrible against those who mislead and
delade them. The people are never led
astray by deceit or Misrepresentation
when they investigate for themselves.
/. This they are doing this year in mark
ed degree 1t Is of no avail for party
leader to appeal to passion when the
neopie are alive to their own and to
the public interests. 1t will not do to
say to men VINO are poor. You must get
on by yourselves, form a class of your
own: your interests are opposed to those
who employ you" The poor American

despoiling my employer? Will it give
me more employment, better wages, to
strike down those whose money is IN
vested in productive enterprises, which
give me work and wages? Four years
ago 1t was said that the manufacturer
was making too much money. You
remember it. But that cannot be SAID
now, and that robber tariff that was
enriching him must be torn up root and
branch to the end that he will be de-
prived of what some people were pleased
TO call his ill-gotten profits. The coun-
try seemed to share in the suggestion,
and the trial was entered upon. with
what result? Every manufacturer,
commercial man, travelling man or
workingman best knows. 1t has been
discovered to our hurt and sorrow that
YOU cannot injure the manufacturer
without injuring labor. (Applauseo
1t has been found, too, that you cannot
injure the manufacturer without IN
turing the whole business of the coun-
try. You say you will close the shops
by adverse tariffs because you imagine
the manufacturer is making too much,
but with that you close the door to en-
ployment in the face of the laborer,
whose only capital is his labor. (Great
cheering.) You cannot punish one with
out Furnishing the other, and our policy
would not infiict the slightest injury
upon either. (Applause and cries of
That's rightly In such cases getting
on the ground" does not do either any
good. The arraying of labor against
capital is a public calamity and an ir-
reparable injury to both. Glass appeals
are dishonest and dishonorable. They
calculate to separate those who should
be united, for ,our economic interests
are common and indivisible. Rather,
my fellow citizens, teach the doctrine
that It is the duty and privilege of every
man to rise, that with honest industry
he can advance himself to the best place
In the shop, store, counting house, or
in the learned professions. This is the
doctrine Of equality,o of opportunity, that
Is woven in every fiber of our national
being; thee doctrine that enables the
poorest boy with the humblest sur
roundings to reach the best place IN our
great industries, and IN the highest
trusts which can be bestowed by
generous people.
Gentlemen, and I speak to my coun-
trymen everywhere, I pray you think
Of your boys and girls, and place no
obstacle in their pathway to the reali-
cation Of every lofty and honorable am
bition they may have. (Great applause.)
/ pray God that the burdens of class
may never be imposed upon American
manhood. (Applause.)
Thanking you heartily, 1t will give
me great pleasure to meet each of you
personally" (Great cheer1ng.)
