EzHes which fLsT apply - Is zzs very
similar 10 the names applied ~ Jefferson
zad bis fOll0Esrs They called JeSer-
son al anarchist and denagogue and q

L
and distarbers VI tns peace and lunatics.
Applause. fOn see the word lunatic
s very similar 70 the word maniac. II
there il any difference | suppose it
would be that maniac Was a little
more violent than lunatic. lLaugh
ter They called the supporters Of
Jefferson mob and the followers of
Hamilton denied that the followers Of
Jefferson were capable Of self govern
ment. The people who opposed Jeffer-
son doubted, honestly | have no doubt
whether the people at large would ever
De capable Of exercising the right OF
self government. Jefferson had CON
fidence in the people and they had con
fidenee In him. - (Applause
Here the attention Of the crowd was
attracted 70 a balloon which was sent
up from the rear Of the audience and
the candidate, noticing il, said:
1t rises about az rapidly As the gold
dollar has been rising. only it does moi
go a. far. lApplause and laughter.
When Jefferson opposed the banks Of
Issue, when be complained against
putting the Issuance Of volume Of paper
money In the hands Of private individ
I
tract II at will, he incurred tbs
opposition Of the banking element d
his day. Just a. We have incurred tbs
opposition u the banking element 81
cur day WHEN We oppose the issue 81
paper money by national banks. Tn
national banks want 70 retire the green
lacks and Treasury notes, which nov
cOst the people nothing. and substitute
In the place u those notes bonds upon
which the people will pay interest. and
the bankers will draw the interest.
am not surprised that they OppOseG
jefferson, because those enjOyinl
special privileges always oppose th'
people who attempt 10 take those spscia
privileges away from them. (Grea
applause.
We are In a canvass this year which
has for its main object the restoration
Of the gold and silver money Of tbs
Constitution. Our opponents are ad
yocating honest money, but ii they viii
turn back 10 the Democratic platform
Of 1884 they will find what the party
then declared 10 be honest money
That platform said: We are In favoi
Of honest money. the gold and silye
coinage Of the Constitution. Gap
/ plause.
The difference between those VIII
[ advocate sO-called honest money toda-
and the Democrats Of 1884 is that tn
/ Democrats then had the courage to sa,
what the meant by honest money, Will
/ the new advocates Of the so callet
honest money never try 10 tell tn
people what they call honest money
/ Applause.
II have heard that In some Of tn
cities Of Indiana the employers hav
notified their employees that they 'woul
not open up business il ! was elected
Now. my friends. If You will look a
the charters granted TO those corpor
ations you viii find that not in a singl
case have the laws Of Indiana author
lied the organization Of corporations 70
the purpose Of running the politics O
the state. (Applause.) II You wi
examine the powers granted by law
YOU will find there Il not single in
stance where the laws have granted {
corporations the right TO intimidst
their employees in any way whatever an
assert that corporation which doe
try TO intimidate its employees has n
right to exist in land like ours. Gap
plause and cheering. Corporation
were instituted for business purpose
and not for political purposes. ZAP
plause.)
my friends. when corporations te
their employees that they will not ope
up IL a certain candidate Il elected, 20
want 10 remember this. that corpor
ations are willing 10 attend 10 the
business when there IL any business I
attend TO, and II railroad shops clos
down it IL because there Is no bushes
on the railroads. that there Is no wor
for the railroad shops and the rsilroa
shops will cease when the railroad bust
nesA falls OF. and we assert that II I'll
people. A. a whole, are not prosperous
II the farmers are not prosperous. an
the farmers have 10 stop raising prod
ucts % give the railroads business. the
the men will not have anything to dc
The restoration Of bimetallism wi
not hurt any legitimate business tn
election Of the Chicago ticket will bel
legitimate business. lApplause.
