lesson not only of human brotherhood, but
OF actual helpfulnes5, and are finding out
that We the happier when We doing
some thing to help others, as we'll as our
selves.
l desire to see labor and capital on friend
~ terms, each willing that the other shall
be fairly treated. l hope the time VIII never
come when the laboring man cannot live
comfortably and lay by something for old
age II he is careful-and certainly ! hope
that the poorhouse will never be the place
in which laboring men will expect to spend
their last days as in some countries they do
When Minnesota and the Dakotas can raise
butter, cheese, beef and a multitude Of other
products, while much the larger part of the
people are engaged in agriculture, there
ought TO be no need OF suffering or want In
this glorious Northwest, and no lack Of
profitable work for men who are not famers
but willing to work.
Let us all try to do our duty faithfully in
whatever work we are called to do; let US
try to remember the Golden Rule, and do to
others as We would wish them to do to US;
let us all cherish a love for this land OF free
dom in which we live and do all to
secure justice to all, and l am sure that for
labor and for laborng men there is COM
ing an era of prosperity such as the world
has never known.
My best wishes attend you gentlemen, In
all your efforts to help yourselves and to
help one another, and ] am sure that moth
ing can contribute to the genuine prosperity
or the country so much as the elevation OF
labor and the prosperity and happiness Of
the labOring men.
ENTERTAINED BY BEDE.
]. Adam Bede was next introduced
by G.. G. Collins, who stated that the
speaker had been compelled to resign
his position as United States marshal
because he could not keep his mouth
shut. Mr.. Bede entertained the gather
ing for half an hour speaking in
most happy strain. He asserted that
milliOnaires were becoming so numer-
Gus that the distinction between the
laboring man and the millionaire was
fast disappearing and that one of the
more fortunate class could not get
credit for a glass of soda water in
Chicago unless he was known The
American working man. was, he said,
the most fortunate in the world. King
Henry VIII. did not have as many lux
uries as the working man of today,
unless it was that ne had eight wives,
and that was more than the law al
lowed in this country. And then, too,
the wives cid not have as good a time
as the housewives of today. The world
was getting better and, although cap
ital and labor had differences, there
was no such deep prejudices as had
existed formerly. The American nation
were a progressive people and doubly
so because q large percentage Of its
lnh3pllantS were not born here, Duu
this was the land of their choice ana
thrift and enterprise had crowned their
efforts with success in a land new to
them and their ancestors.
