The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1896-10-25

she can't have it I say to you, that Is
what sets everything in motion: the de-
sire of people to better themselves by
having something that viii conduce to
their comfort.
THE SPREAD OF CHEAPENING.
Now, If the laboring class and the
salary earning class constitute the
largest portion OF the purchasing power
of this country, it follows as matter CT
course that whatever sets them 10 work,
whatever raises their wages, sets the
whole machinery Of human production
into motion. Well, perhaps you say
they alone are interested in this. That
is not so. Wherever there is great de-
mand by a very large class OF people
not only that class of people get Things
cheaper, but everybody else does. l can
remember when furniture was very
costly. 1t was because very few people
had good furniture. But today. such mas
been the increase Of the wage earning
class and the salary earning class, every
man can fit up his house in what,
twenty or thirty years ago, would have
been luxuries of the rich. What is the
result? The result is that nothing to-
day in this country is produced so
cheap,y as furniture; and the rich get
the benefit of it as well as the poor.
CARRIAGE OR CABLE CAR.
'Let me call your attention again
to the fact that it is absolutely impossi-
BILE to make progress for the comforts
/ Of the rich without the comforts of the
poor. The pleasantest and easiest rid
! ing today is not in stuffed coaches, but
in the cable and electric cars, which
everybody patronizes. For my part, l
would rather ride down Broadway in
| an electric or cable car than ride in
! the best stuffed carriage there is in
| New York City. And the comfort OF
travelling the long distance I have trav-
| eled has depended, not upon the rich
i man, but upon the poor man. Rail
roads were as impossible in the time OF
! the crusades as they would be Up the
! Alaskan mountains today. Tt is only
when the world has got rich enough to
! build railroads and 10 run them that
/ either rich or poor can have the advan-
! tage OF them. 1t has not been 300 years
! since journey across England was
/ fraught with the greatest discomforts
| in the world. And 1t has not been 200
( years since a journey across the Unit
/ ed States of America would have been
an absolute impossibility. Death would
have stopped you half way across.
THE RICHER, THE HAPPIER.
"All this come to US by the accu-
mutation of wealth. How is wealth ac-
cumulated? IT is by marrying labor and
capitol together. 1t is by using what
wealth you have, and humon energy
besides, and uniting them with the
great forces of nature. Labor, the
wealth already accumulated and the
gift of God in the natural forces, are
what makes a country rich; and the
richer a country is the happier it is.
That poetry about Where wealth accu-
mulates and men decay was poetry
TIE real fact of life is that where wealth
acunulates and is distributed, happl-
ness reigns.
Now, we have been stopping our
selves in the march of progress simply
because we have listened 10 void men.
Shall we continue to do it? Or, shall
we get to work and increase our wealth
and increase our happiness?
Now, ladies, should be delighted to
speak to you here, but the truth is L
an somewhat tired. have thrown out
these few suggestions for you to think
of. and when you have thought them
over, make him vote right" (Applause.)
OTHER SPEECHES MADE.
Immediately after Speaker Reed left
the big tent in the afternoon Governor
Morril was introduced and he made one
of the best speeches he has ever made in
Wichita. 1t was speech that was well
received.
AT night great audience greeted Mr..
J. X Cubbison of Wyandotte county at
the Auditorium who made one of the
most brilliant speeches made here dur
ing the campaign, not only from stand
point of eloquence but from stand
point Of logic as well.
He was introduced by Mr. Fred L.
Richter, secretary of the Mckinley
Travelling Mems club, who spoke as fol-
lows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: This is
large building and it is filed to its ut
most capacity. In order that the speak
er may be heard in all parts of the hall
i, is necessary that the audience be as
quiet as possible.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is great
day for Kansas, for the Seventh dis
trict, and especially for Wichita; it is a
day to make dates from, and to make
comparisons with. For this great event
we are indebted to our gallant congress
man, Chester /. Long, who is always on
the alert to do a good turn for Wichita.
1t is the cordial friendship that exists
between our brilliant congressman and
the great statesman from Maine, and
the high regard that Mr.. Reed enter
tains for the ability and worth of Ches-
ter l. Long. that made it possible for US
to enjoy this great treat today. 1t is
said that only the brave deserve the
fair. Brave Chester has won fair Wich-
ita, has captured Sedgwick county, and
has captured the Seventh district. No
man today doubts the result in the
Seventh district. The only question is,
how big will Longs majority be?
'But. my friends, that there might be
no dullness N any part of today's pro-
gram, and that the day might end in a
brilliant blaze of ora torical glory, the
Travelling Mems Mckinley club insisted
that we should have the matchless ora
tor and gallant young statesman from
the mouth Of the kaw to address US
this evening.
Ladies and gentlemen, It gives ne
great pleasure to now introduce TO You,
the Hon. J. K. Cubbison OF Kansas City.
Kansas
After Mr.. Cubbison's speech the entire
audience. with one voice, called for Mr..
Long, and insisted upon him saying a
few words. He complied with their re-
quest and made as pretty a ten-minute
speech as II has been the good fortune OF
the people TO hear.
