EX-GOVERNOR ALTGELD
DELIVERS SPEECH TO BROOK
LYN DEMOCRATS.
Saws No Permanent Prosperity Can
Come Under the Existing
Conditions.

NEW YORK, July 5.-Ex-Governor B.
John P. Altgeld of Illinois addressed
about 1000 people in the Academy OF
Music. Brooklyn, to-day. The meet
ing was under the auspices of the
Democratic League of Kings County.
Henry George presided and introduced
Mr.. Altgeld, who was greeted with
hearty applause.
Mr.. Altgeld, in the course of his
speech. said: "a whole generation has
paid at the war debt and has reduced
it by one-half. Yet such has been the
Governments policy that to-day it will
REQUIRE twice as much of our products
to pay the remainder as would have
been necessary to pay it all when it
was created. Being a producing and
debtor nation, it was crime to legis-
late exclusively in favor of the credi-
tor classes of Europe and thus destroy
the purchasing power of our people.
There must ultimately come a sys-
tenn of finance or exchange that will
have a philosophic basis and will not
restrict human efforts. But until this
does come we demand the restoration
of the bimetallic system as it formerly
existed in our country because it was
tie DSSl Illus 1dA SANElA lA4C NOtIQ
I'VE were promised prosperity; it has
not come, and it requires no prophet to
see that under existing conditions no
permanent prosperity can come A
squirt of activity under Mckinley con-
ditions means the more certain death
of free institutions; it means that the
poison of corruption shall go on until
every organ of the body is destroyed.
In every State the people are
aroused; they see their condition grow
ing worse; they see the hope of their
children disappearing; they see pow
erty hanging over the future; they see
the black flag of hunger floating over
some of the richest sections of Gods
earth, and they are crying for justice
My friends, that cry will free the
American people. Even if we. should
be borne down again and again, the
voice of humanity will arise from the
dust and drive the money changers out
of the temple and the traitors out of
the land. The Benedict Arnold of 1850
sleeps on English soil. Let the Bene-
diet Arnolds of this age make their
graves beside him."

SUGAR BOUNTY.
Republican Senators to Again Cau-
Gus on the Subject.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-A caucus of
Republican Senators has been called
for 10 o'clock tomorrow morning to
consider the advisability of reintroduc
ing the sugar bounty amendment.
The decision to call the caucus was
the result of a series of conferences
which consumed the greater part of
the day. but developed such a diver
gence of views as to make it quite
evident that only in party conference
could the bounty question be settled
in a way to bind all.
At one time during the day it ap-
peared that the Finance Committee
would reintroduce the beet sugar
amendment, in response to the repre-
sentations of the advocates of bounty
The Senators who hold the view that
this was the proper course to pursue
based their arguments upon the ground
that the last Republican Senatorial
caucus had decided in favor of such
bounty. This brought out the fact
that there had been comparatively few
Senators at the caucus when the vote
was taken, and that some of the alb
sentees would not agree to be bound
by its decision. The committee decided.
on account of this conflict to resubmit
the matter to a caucus
1t appears probable that the caucus
will rescind the order of the previous
section directing the committee to re-
port a sugar amendment, but the sugar
bounty advocates hope that at the
same time the Republican Senators will
De instructed to vote for the amend
ment as offered by Senator Allen Thev
thus hope to put the party in the SEN
ate on record as for the amendment
while they avoid the responsibility for
the delay, which they admit the
amendment will occasion.
The Democratic leaders still an
nounce themselves as unalterablv on
posed to the bounty provision. and say
they will debate it for an indefinite
length of time, in order to prevent its
