where. We hnd those who are against
US. and who will contribute literally to the
corruption fund, and we find those with
us who have no money to corrupt the Vot
ers with. (Applause) But they are out
voting themselves this fall. (Applause) II
won't be necessary to hire carriages to
bring the people to the polls this fall, my
friends. (Applause) They will be there
when the polls open and you cannot keep
people away from the polls this fall be-
cause they believe their interests are at
stake in this campaign.
Our opponents want to know how this
money question can concern them. II you
want to know how the money question
can concern, you find out how Il concerns
those who have been In the habit OF prey
ing upon the public. (Appause.) If the
money question Is so important to the
syndicates of this country that they can
subscribe to the fund to use in this cam
paign, the people understand that there
must be something in 1t for the syndicates
or they would hardly be so liberal in this
campaign These men are not in the
habit of throwing money away my
friends, and when you find them rolling
up an enormous corruption fund, you may
depend upon 1t that they expect to get
back every dollar they subscribe by unfair
legislation. applause and cries of more
tooD. My friends, they tell us that these
benefit of somebody else. They are not in
the habit OF doing things for the benefit
of somebody else unless they share in the
benefits, my friends. You will tnd,
as we have found. that where your inter-
ests and the interests of the itnancer are
the same that then they may act with
you, but you will find that whenever the
interests Of the fnancier are different
from the interests of other people, they
may be depended upon to look out for
themselves and let other people look out
for themselves. (Applause).
81 see here laboring men. / want you
to remember that In this campaign we
have opposed to us, every man who has
attempted to destroy labor organizations
and break up these associations OF labor
ing men. Great applanse) / want you
to understand that we have on our side
in this campaign the only people who
have aided labor In It's endeavor to better
the condition of those who toll, and we
can better submit our cause to those who
are interested in the welfare of the labor
ing man themselves than to submit the
cause to those who. in this election, try
to destroy everything that is of benefit
to the laboring man. ] remember when
] was in congress we had bill up to
compel the railroads to put on couplers to
protect the lives Of the railway employees
and every railway attorney opposed It
anu lOlu us tlldl II MOulu GQSt 100 UluG0,
measuring human life in dollars and
cents and when we insisted that we had
the same right to protect the lives of the
laboring men as we had of other men we
could not touch the hearts OF those peo-
pie. If the presidents OF railroads are
able to manipulate the votes of their en-
ployes in the interests of those whom the
presidents OF railroads elected, then the
presidents of the railroads will manipu-
late the men after the election, and will
be deaf to every entreaty of the men who
votd for their interests under coercion. .
