AlTGElD IN NEW O r

VI ~ h1ISCfu vi
Illinois before a New York audience
has been a staggering blow to the gold
trust. He has gone into their own
stronghold and given them some ter
rlble in-fighting. His speech and his
stage presence has given the lie to the
slander heap"d upon him by an if
Responsible. lying. subsidised press.
Hehas heeu pictured a an anarchist
a man of imbicel character and de-
PRAYED mind. The majority of people
SO consider him in the United States.
The audience, thousands of whom vent
home impressed that d mau Of mastery
intellect had addressed them Aitceld
is n OF the leading minds Of the
United States, educated and logical
and a polished nlleman in every re-
spect. He 0 his vast audience from
the start and convinced them of the
justice or his case. Here are some Of
the points of his speech:
havec come to bring to the patriotic
people of New York and of the East
the greeting Of the Mississippi valley !;
OF that hardy yoeInanry of the Central
and Western States that has always
rallied to the support of the American
Nag IN times Of danger, and hat SUP
ports and maintains our institutions
10 times Of peace.
Those great toiling and producing
masses who make our civilization
possible feel that their destiny is link
ed with that Of the soma of liberty who
inhabit the East. We are unwilling TO
believe out in the West that patriotism
has died east of the Alleghenies. and
that mammon is the only god at whose
shrlne Eastern people bow.
We are unwilling to believe that the
te" men in u large cities who use
the Government as a convenient tn
make fortunes, who use u republic
as a mere foraging ground to amass
wealth, who cringe to European aris-
tocracy, and who wave the American
flag with one hand while .obbing the
public with the other, represent the
sentiment Of that section Of the coun-
try that was the cradle of American
liberty.
We do not believe, because you have
IN your midst men who value the priv
llage of taking breakfast with the
Prince of Wales more than thew do the
blessings OF free government; that be-
cause you have in your midst men
who are ready to undermine and to
overthrow republican institutions in
our land in order to gain a temporary
personal advantage for themselves;
therefor the fires of liberty which
for more than a century burned upor
your hilltops and Illuminated the world
are extinct. We believe the hearts OF a
majority of your people are loyal to
institutions of the fathers, aud that
they beat in unison with the h4arts of
the great people of the South and West
who believe hat the time has not come
converting this republic into an
At present there is in addition to the
gold standard a quartet of blighting
sisters in our lanG. respectively call
ed:
Federal Interference in local affairs.
Government by injunction.
Usurpation by the United States
Supreme Court. !
Corruption.
All four are clothed in pbarisaism
and preteDse, and ell recognize the
gold standard as their natural or
foster mother.
We believe these blighting sisters
whose smile means paralysis, and
whose embrase death, have no !
more admirers among your people
han they have among ours,
This campaign is to decide not only
whether we shall perpetuate the expert
nent Of this English financial system
which Is prostrating u nation, but
also whether we shall permanently
these foul sisters into our house
,old and make them the ruling mem
'ers Of our families.
The effect of Altgeld's appearance
n New York is far reaching. The
lothian press had led the people to be-
ieve that Altgeld is Brvan's ruling
pirit and that Anarchy is painted all
yer him. The New Workers now a.
bat Altgeld is about the biggest aud
raiOest man that has struck Now
'ork since the campaign opened.
