The United States with it's wealth Of
y resources and the skill. energy and en-
terprise Of It's people, cannot be long
checked In its onward march. There are
some citizens in all the states who seem
to be seriously concerned, but Ifor one
do not share in their apprehensions. The
great body of the people is safe, they are
steady, they are not moved by wild i'm
pulses. Dismal forebodings Of what
might happen will not be realized. Dem
agogues there are in the country, who
attempt to inculcate the doctrines of dis
trust and dismay among the unemploy-
ed and in great part the men who are
intoxicating that doctrine are the men
who advocated policy that first crea-
ted idleness in the United States. Gap
plause and cries Of "Thats true, you are
rightly Extremists there are who talk
glibly about the war Of the classes
against the masses, needless of the eff
feet Of the logical outcome of their false
and pernicious. their degrading and dam
gerous doctrines. Foolish men there
are who innocently disseminate every
sort and variety Of misinformation, and
thus do the bidding of the best posted,
but more designing men. whose dupes
they are. Still there need be no alarm,
there need be no excitement, there need
be no abuse or exaggeration; for all
these false doctrines and unworthy in
f1uences will not again prevail with the
free, the independent and the intelligent
citizens OF the United States. (Great ap-
plause.) s4,sasA M
The majority of our people are reli-
giously devoted to law and order, the
public peace and public tranquility.
They love their homes their wives and
their families too we'll to stand by any
policy that will lead to public disorder
and disregard of law. They are in favor
respecting the right of property, the
right of contract. the inviolability of the
public faith, and the sacredness of our
uncorrupted and incorruptible courts of
Justice. They are floclsing to the stand
ard Of the country not from one party
alone, but from all parties with an ear
hestness and unanimity creditable to
our patriotism and splendid testimo-
NAL to the strength and glory Of our
free Institutions. My fellow citizens,
have always believed in the people, but
am stronger today in my faith in the
American people than I have ever been
before. (Great cheering and footing of
horns.)
They have been true. in every crisis
Of the past: they have been uniformly
on the right side in every emergency,
and never failed to sustain their coun-
try and those pubic policies which in
surei it's peace and highest welfare.
The great heart Of theAmerican people
Is moved by the simple consideration of
what is best and most beneficial for
the nation.
In the discharge Of every public trust
TO which have been called, whether as
a representative in congress or governor
OF Ohio, I have always found that an
honest and open, just and frank appeal
to the people never failed to receive a
warm and favorable response. (Great
applause.)
1t is mistake to imagine that the
great body of our people are not the
conservative. force of the country. They
are not caught with suggestions of dis
X honesty either in public or private trans
actions. They believe in the old maxim
4 that honesty is always the best policy,
in government as we'll as in individual
life, and those who think otherwise un-
derestimate the intelligence and patri-
otism of the American people. There is
today as ardent and binding a patriot
= ism as ever mustered men under the
glorious Stars and Stripes. Whether
they be native born or were born under
other flags and haveYJitched their tents
with us to become part of our splendid
citizenship, the average man of all these
nationalities is interested in what will
do the most good for himself and wife
and family, and exalt the honor and
name of his adopted country The det-
riment the damage, the distress, which
has been felt by the people and which
was visited upon the country by the
policy already executed and the policy
& now threatened, has injured not only
the men who toll, but has injured the
men who employ labor. (Applause.)
We have discovered that we cannot
strike down the owner of the factory
or the owner of the mine without strik-
ing down the labor that is employed by
him. Continuous cheering.)
