Tho Chicago platform simply reite-
ratos those fundamental principles on
which our form Of government must
rest. The keynote OF the Chicago plat.
form is found I'm the Declaration OF In
dependence. that all men are created
equal. and that. therefore, no class OF
men. no class OF citizens. have a right
10 appropriate 10 itself the blessings
which tho Creator intended for all the
people OF this country (cheers): that
laws shall not be made so that the many
shall toll. and the few shall enjoy the
fruits or the toll Of tho
many. that every man shall
be defended I'm the enjoyment Of that
which he earns and that no man shall
be permitted 10 acquire what some one
else has earned. and which has been
taken from him by vicious legislation.
The reason they use abusive eoithcts
and apply hard names 20 those who
support that platform IS because they
know that the platform is "A menace TO
the wrong-doer: not the smaller wrong
doer only but also 10 the larger trans
gresso-. who attempts 20 use tho Gov
eI1lment and its instrumentnlities 10
wrong Others. (Applaue)
