as an attack upon the government. and
vet there are some who would denounce
the person who seeks reform and every
person who seeks to change customs"
Il say there are those who would de-
nounce every one such as an ag.tator or
distufber OF The public peace. ] notice
that there were several platforms Ia some
OF the states which declared against the
agitation OF the money question. Why.
the man who denoances agitation de-
pounces the principles that underlie our
form of government. and the only method
or redress left 10 a free people. Great
applause) Agitation Is the only means
by which policies can be brought before
See people. and when people denounce agi-
talon upon any subject they must remern-
Der that agitation has It's csuse. The
cause Is In an abuse. and the only way 10
remove an agitation Is 70 remove ths
cause and give the people no just cause
for complaint. l know not what VIII be
