business men as the few financial mag
mates who in back room corner tbs
money OF the world.
I've come to speak for this broader
class Of business men. All, my friends
We cay not one word against those who
live upon the Atlantic coast; but those
hardy pioneers who braved all the dan
gers OF the wilderness, who have made
the desert to blossom as the rose--those
pioneers away out there, rearing theil
children near to natures heart. where
they can mingle their voices with the
voices Of the birds--out there where they
have erected school houses for the educa-
ton Of their Young, and churches here
they praise their Creator, and cemeter-
les where sleep the ashes OF their dead :
are as deserving OF the consideration oil
this party as any people in this country.

said that he fears Robespicrre. My
friend, in THE land Of the free you need

catch votes. We reply to them that
changing conditions make new issues !;
that the principles upon which rest de-
mocracy are AZ everlasting as the hills.
but that they must be applied to new
conditions as they arise. Conditions have
arisen, and we are attempting to meet
those conditions. They tell us the income
tax ought not TO be brought in here-that
it is a new idea. They eriticise us for our
criticisms Of the supreme court Of the
United States. My friends, We have not
criticised. We have simply called atten-
