That country is truly prosperous-and no
other is can be-in which every man who
desires to labor can find place 10 labor
every working da.T in the year and decent
wage for the iabe~ Gone. In 1892 under the
last year of Rep"p'i legislation, there
was not one sturdy man in all the United
States between the two oceans who desired
to work who did not have a place to labor
every working day in the year, ana ala not

1892 our streets were full of American JOBS

LOYAL MEN SHOULD UNITE
But, my countrymen, there other is
sues upon which all loyal and patriotic
men, without regard to previous political
affiliations can unite at the present time
In fact this is the only period since 1861
when the true Democrats could afford TO
vote the Republican ticket. The Chicago
platform is so revolutionary in character
so fnmical to our Constitution and theory
of government, that the law-abiding peo-
pie of the Union ought to array themselves
on the other side. That platform, inspired
by Altgeld and framed by Tilman, is an
appeal to all the most dangerous elements
of society. 1t declares that the Onlted
States
it's laws, to maintain peace ana oraer, 10
secure the free passage OF its man trains,
and to protect the people IN thelr nVes,
cir property and their homes II were
the last man to speak l would avail mysen
of this opportunity to declare tnat TINS
government has the power, and VIII exer-
else it under any and all administrations,
to send its flag with all Its power INTO eV-
cry corner into every hamlet OF the lana
to enforce obedience to the laws OF the
United States and to shield the peaceful
citizens of this country, their wives, tneir
children and their homes from the violence
and wickedness of the MOB.
The Chicago platform seems designed es-
pecially for the purpose or 1nVitlhg 'ne sup
port of all men who seek to set up the
commune in the United States. With a
wicked misapplication of terms 1T declares
against government by injunction, thereby
Insisting that the courts of our country
shall be powerless to prevent by precau-
tionary measures the commission or crime.
The laboring people of this country IN
times to come will need the power OF the
federal judiciary to secure them In tneIr
rights to fortify them in all honorable
controversies with capital and corporation'
far more than the money powers VIII neeo

sons yet why the loyal people or TINS coun-
try should stand together at tins time.

Claimed a new sectional issue-the South
and the West against the North and the
East. A new sectional issue between tne
North and the South? Why, COO Iorbids
The Hoosier State sent out the mower OF
her manhood to the Nations battlefield to
put down the sectional issue between the
North and the South. My father went out
under Wisconsin's flag and gave his life

united people. have crossed the ola Ma
son and Dixon line and have clasped IN
right good fellowship the hands of the men
who fought upon the other side. The heroes
of that great war, South and North, vii!

strife.
GOD FORBID SECTIONALISM.
