market for cabbages, and you were MAX
ing a little profit out of them. Suppose
another farmer catches on and he goes
to growing cabbages and you go in and
ask the judge to stop that fellow from
making cabbages. Uaughter.) Where
do you think you would go? What do
you think you'd get? You would get

WHOR ARE ANARCHISTS.
Yet you must not say anything. Don't
kick. If you kick, you are a greasy,
long-haired anarchist. Iaughter.)
Now, my friends, this has got to be
stopped, or this government is fall
ure. Look at it: The other day a judge
actually issued an injunction preventing
free assemblies; and there he sits-thls
little monarch of the mountains of West
Virginia-and sends United States mar
shals to shoot down free born men VINO
are exercising their constitutional privi-
lege of free assemblage. (Applause.)
Are you going to stand 1T! If you
can stand it l can. And if you decide
to stand it, I'm going to make trade
with j. 2. Morgan and get my office for
life. daughter and applause)
The corporations have got all the daily
newspapers in this State, but one, that
is the News and Observer, of this city.
1t is the only daily paper in the State
on the side of the people.
r One of the corporation newspapers
said the other day that the Governor
had shocked the State of North Carolina
by making a brutal attack upon the
Federal Judges. You must not criticise
= n IN r
Now, I have always liked Judge Simon
ton. have no spite against MIN.
have always had friendly professional
relations with him; but | think his &C
tons shows that he is on the-wrong SIDE
in this. business, and is strongly partf
ian with the trusts, with all forms OF
concentrated wealth. His own Senator
7Eillman, of South Carolina, says thai
Simonton belongs body. and soul to the
Southern Railway Company.
/ JUDGES IN FOR LIFE.
n These Federal judges think they are
| in for life. Judge Shiras, of the United
States Supreme court, who voted frs
for the income tax when they wer'
trying to force these money kings to pay
revenue to run this country, is anothel
ore of them. He decided for the income
tax, and then changed his mind" ant
said, 1.-The tax was unconstitutional,
| and vast millions were lost to the count
nv and the burden fell upon you ant
| such as you.
Now, say here what / said when
| shocked" the State, that these Fedora
| judges think they are in for life, are in
\ dependent of the people, with salaries
| of $1,000 or $4,000, and think their sala
ries will get larger as the years roll by
| the dollar rising under the gold standard
| Now / want to remind these gentle
men that John Adams in 1901 appoint
ed lot of Federal judges for life t.
| keep, down the Republican, Afterwards
Democratic party. He appointed them
| they were sworn in and took their of
fees. But jefferson, as soon as he wa!
sworn in, in March, 1901, took those
judges by til ,nape of their necks ant
flung them into the ditch. daughter.
He got his Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatiyes to repeal that law and they
did it, And Adams judges had moth
ing left but funeral! And il the people
get possession of this government thu a!
may take the judges who stand in witt
| corporate wealth against popular rights
Now, call that brutal" Well, the
brutality" will go on. (Applause.)
They say that l don't show the prOpel
respect for these judges. Well I'm no
brimfull of respect for that crowd any
how. T.
If you could get a reduction of rate.
| ON the railroads that are able to. pa.
good dividends on the property invested
in sthem-but there are some that arr
aot, some of them are bankrupt aud no
lody wants to bankrupt them further
then you would get the benefit of thos,
reductions; and the farmers, no mattcl
| what their politics are, should stand to
| gether in favor ofSthis.
ABOUT MILLIONAIRES
| Yes, talk about millionaires. Pm will
| ling for man to be a millionaire, bu
| want him to be an honest one. Some
of them are good people, and some are
the worst class of people. There are
idle ones living in idleness and de
bauchery-they are not entitled to the
respect Of respectable people.
L have the greatest respect for the
| daughters of this people on these greer
hillsides in the county of Wake who dc
the work and spend their time in daily
toll for father and mother and brother
and sister, go to church on Sunday
and pursue the paths of peace and virtue
| say have more respect for them thar
have for all the idle daughters of so
ciety that the world even saw. And
want them to have respect for them
selves, and to know that they are JUS
as good as the daughters of any mil
li0naire or queen that ever wore dia
dem.
] am glad that a man like George
Vanderbilt buys our lands and pays oul
people big prices and lays out parks and
establishes experimental farms for oul
people. He does the world good. He
does us good. He's entitled to our gra
titude. l have no reproach against
them because they are millionaires
they are as good as any other white
man, if they will behave themselves
