The music was by the Junior c. Z

by Julia Ward Howe.
Thc address was delivered by Hon.
Benjamin Butterworth, Commissioner Of
Patents
Ai. hatterworth said some plain .hIngs
in unnistakable terms. He admitted he
greatness and power of the republic, but
also that with all its riches and abundance
there were thousands upon thousands of
hungry and IDLE people. This condition, he
said. meant that there was something
wrong He traced great deal OF tie evils
that exist 10 bad legislation and accused
the people themselves of making, by their
ballot, legislators who could pass such laws.
This age, he said terSely, was one in wEich
there was rather too much respect for
LuculIus and none whatever for Cato. Mr.
But,erwOrth arraigned severely the lapscS
from original patriotism which had made
AmCric;tn ballots and American legislators
two 7urcfdsable commodities.
Mistakes will occur and evil results FOL
low, ont il the people see to 1t that tie
election OF a legislature means vote
fer sound, moral, and economic laws.
on another branch OF his subject Mr.
Butterworth said that the time had nnt
vet come when men spoke what they be
lieved TO be true. Yet the time was near
al hand when the people would not be
satisfied with lip service The inequa!i-
ties Of burdens must be removed so far
as possible 10y legislation.
Tie prosperity Of the country, he said,
Was running in rickety proportions. There
Was too much profligacy of expenditure
at one extreme and poverty at the other
He die not believe that knowledge, art,
or science could keep the country great.
Ii would dissolve, as other nations had
been deSt royed, unless the early spirit
of the people returned and saw to 1t that
virtue only should find expression in their
representative at the Capitol
There was always hope for the per
petuatiUa OF liberty, which, he said, never
was destroyed, except by the act of the
people themselves. Mr Butterworth came
very near talking treason when he spoke
Of organized banditti in legislatures,
whose object was the perversion of legis-
lation. He also inveighed in strong terms
against the Constant influx OF pauperldiior
IJ was Idle, he said, to talk about meeting
pauper labor 5000 miles away when
pauper iaborers were dumped right down
into the United States TO compete with
local labor and to destroy the equality OF
opportunity which was one of the hopes
Of the country.
