Not Less Than Thousand Business-Men
of Brooklyn Accused.
When a merchant in Brooklyn, n. V,
wants to illuminate his place of bust
ness by superior quality of electricity
he goes out and secretly taps the near
est and handiest trolley wire. More

guilty of this offense, and they do not
have to go far for light supply, for
that section of the universe which re-
juctantly became part of greater

of persons; it was question OF principle and
it is not with gladnsss. my friends, that We
find ourselves brought into conflict with these
who arrayed on the other side
The sympathy of the democratic party as as
cribed by the platform are on the side of the
struggling masses, who have ever been the
foundation of the democratic party. There are
two ideas of government There are those who
believe that if you just legislate to make the
well to do prosperous that their prosperity
will leak through those below. The demo-
cratic idea has been that if You legislate to
make the mass prosperous. their prosperity
will find its way up and through every class
and rest upon IL You come to and tell
that the great cities are in favor of the gold
standard. tell you that the great cities rest
upon these broad and fertile prairieS Burn
down your cities and leave your farms, and
your cities will spring up again. If by magic.
But destroy our farms and the grass will grow
in the streets of every city in this country.
My frie nds we shall declare that this nation
is able to legislate for its own people on every
question. without waiting for the aid or con-
sent OF any other nation On earth. and upon
that issue we expect to carry every single
state in this union L shall not SANDER
the fair state of Massachusetts nor the
state of New York by saying that when
its citizens confronted with the PROPOSE
ton, Is this nation able to attend to its
own business? will not SANDER either one by
saying that the people of those state, will de-
clare our helpless impotency as a nation to at
tend to or own business 1t is the issue OF
l1so over again. when our ancestors, 3,UOJ.UJJ
strong, had the courage to declare their indie
pendence of every other nation on earth. Shall
we, their descendants. when we have grown to
20 0O0, 000. declare that We are less independent
than our forefathers? No. my friends. it
will never be the Judgment of the people
Therefore. care not upon what lines the
battle is fought If they say bimetalliSm is
good, but we cannot have it till some nation
helps US, we reply that instead of having a gold
standard because England has it. we shall re-
store bimetallism and then let England have
bimetalliSm because the United States has it.
1t they. dare to come out and in the open
defend the gold standard as good
thing we shall fight them to the utter
most, having behind us the producing
masses of this nation and the world. Eaving
behind us the commercial interests and the
laboring interests and all the toiling masses,
we shall answer their demands for gold stand
ard by saying to them. you shall not press
down upon the brow OF labor this crown of
thorns You shall not cruelty mankind upon
a cross of gold
