biscuits nor better potatoes. nor drank
better Illinois wine than have flaughterI
ecstasies OF love as well ms they.
We know tho love OF wife ana
child and friend, and In some respects
we have the advantage. ILaughter.l They
fear and we hope. They are at the top. and
they are afraid OF falling. We are close TO
the ground and we hope TO climb.
fLaughter.l And, now, Is n man TO be-
envied simply because he has got more
than he can use? What good Is that? What
Is the use OF carrying 100 canes? What n
the use OF having more than you can possi-
bly, spend?
LET me tell you another thing Lots OF
these people are owned by the property
they think they possess. [Laughterl The
property owns them and IL will get them
up at four o'clock In the morning and will
make them work like slaves until night.
They are afraid every minute that some-
body il going to steal IL. They have no
confidence In the friendship OF man or
woman. They think they are all wanting
their money. They think their children
are anxious TO 30 10 their funeral Laugh
teri That all their heirs would love to
look on their mausoleum. ILaughter.l
That Is the trouble with them.
"And another trouble is that most OF
them are insane. They don't know when
they have got enough. What would you
think OF a man that had 100000 necktles?
What would you think OF that man getting
up at three o'clock I'm the morning. going
through snow and slush until ten o'clock at
night, to get him another necktie? Laugh

Trusts and syndIcntes.
with all my heart. hate the trusts ana
syndicates that conspire to rob honest peo-
pie. and / want the laws against them en-
forced. TApplause.l But 4 have nothing
against the man that makes money by
honest methods. l am glad / live In a
country whore it's people can get rich. Zap
plause.l IL Is spur in the side OF ambi-
ton. The poor always have hope IL not for
themselves. at least for their children.
Why should we envy the successful? Why
should we hate them; and why should we
array class against class? IL Is all wrong.
For instance. here Is young man, and
no Is Industrious. He Is In love with girl
around the corner. She Is I'm his brain all
day and In his heart all night [laughterl.
and while he Is working. he is thinking.
and he gets a little ahead, and they get
married. and he is an honest man, and he
gets credit. and the first thing you know
he has a coed home for his wife and his
children and his old age is filled with con-
tent and love. I"Good."l
His companions bask in the sunshine os
idleness-have wasted their time. wasted
their wages I'm dissipation. and when tho
winter OF life comes, when tho snc% falip
on the barren fields OF the wasted days,
then, shivering with cold. pinctcd with
hunger they curse the man who has suc-
ceeded. Thereupon they all say they are
going TO vote for Bryan.
"The citizens OF America should be-
friends. We have 10 permanent classes.
The children OF the rich to-day may work
for the men who worked for them. Sons
OF milllonaires may be mendicants; sons
OF mendcants may be mllionaires. Jap

Against Glass Feeling. e,
II want no class feeling. Blessed ~ that
aountry where the rich are extravagant
and the poor economical fLaughterl
Miserable that country whore the rich arc
economical and the poor are extravaganza.
a rich spendthrift Is a blessing. rich
miscr is a curse. Extravaganza is a splen-
did form OF charity. Let the rich spend, let
them build, let them give work TO their fcl-
low-men. and l will find no fault 'sith
their wealth, provided they obtain IL
honestly.
Then there is another thing. They ara
trying 10 fan the flames OF kate between
the south and west on one side and tho
east on the other. why should we OF Glli~
nois hate the east? Give us some reason.
Why should we hate the east? They never
loaned us n dollar that we didn't borrow.
lLaughtcr.l They never loaned us dollar
that we did not make the application
civilize and build up the west, and this city
ot Chicago, the wonder OF the world tho
second city on the continent, was built up
by eastern energy and eastern money and
eastern men. tApplause.l
why should we hate the east? There
