the brave leader Of the Massachusetts,
democracy, George Fred Williams.
On these principles and declarations,
we appeal to the patriotic voters of the
commonwealth Of Massachusetts for
their approval and support.
The resolutions were adopted without
any debate, and then Timothy Howard
Of North Brookfield offered resolution
of sympathy to Hon. John e, Russell
of Leicester in his illness, and hoping
for his speedy recovery. This resolu-
ton was adopted without debate.
Thomas Lane of Revere followed by
introducing q resolution which de-
manded state regulation of the wages
to be paid by contractors who do state
work, making the minimum rate OF
wages 50 per day. This resolution was
referred to the committee on resolu-
lions, under a motion passed early in
the convention, and then Chairman Do
herty said that nominations for gov
ernor were in order.

cussing with them the questions with
which we were confronted, ask them to
join with us in defending the temple of
our liberties and preserving our insti-

Of Massachusetts, will be heard ringing
throughout the republic and saying to
plutocracy, Halt! You shall not be per-

people to a condition of servitude; nor
in time of war shall you be permitted

has always believed that the South
is the most divinely favored land,
naturally, in the world; and, with
wise management, can be the most
independent and prosperous, as it
has the soil and climate to raise
almost everything that grows. He
believes in the largest expansion
in territory and trade, and that
this great, strong nation should
feed, clothe, civilize and christian
ize the less favored and oppressed
countries; for we owe something
TO humanity. We need more
money among the m asses and less
among the classes. We should
stop legislating in favor Of trusts
and monopolies and give every
man, both poor and rich. an equal
and impartial chance to become
prosperous. If wealth was more
equally distributed and the masses
had the money to buy what they
actually need, this country and all
others would have moro than twice
the trade they now have. While
eight million bales of cotton may
be too much when the common
people have no money with which
to buy goods-their products and
property being so low, sixteen
million would not be too much if
the masses had money TO clothc
themselves and their children as
they should. We cannot have true
prosperity when we let few
European and American capital
lists dictate the price of our pro-
ducts--the only true source of
wealth, and say what kind and
quantity of money we shall use,
etc. This policy may suit the cap
italist, but such policy crucfies
the real prosperity and trade of
this and all others countries, by
concentrating the wealth OF the
world in the hands Of the few and
lmpoverishing the many. The
United States is now old enough
and strong enough to stand alone
and lead all others in just, right
eous and fair laws. So, let us de-
mand and require such laws of our
lawmakers and servants, and then
enforce them. When this is done
we will see such an era of pros
perity and happiness with all, in
this country and in our newly &C.
quired provinces, as the world
has never before seen.

'feels hurt because OF the pros

silver was not affected one way or
the other in the election last fall,
nor will il be in the election this

advent OF another national election
the silver issue will have been rele-
gated to 'innocuous desuetude, "

glad, however, that the Democrat

OF course, there is no "prostitu-

These figures are calculated on the
basis OF the cost OF defense during

for national defese (army and navy.
this year exceed SIS. 900, 600 over
and above what it cost last year,
and this excess is attributable to
only one cause-war.
OF this SIS, 900, 900 more than
two-thirds has been spent on the
army. The excess for the navy
has amounted to sa5, 900. 900. 1t
should be remembered that these
sums represent only the actual
money already paid out. They
take no account whatever OF the
vast sums that must be paid later,
and for which contracts have al
ready been made. On a cash
transaction basis the war has been
costing the country about 81 .ooo,-
900 day since July Ist.
The demand for ready cash is
largely supplied by the special war
tax which is now in full blast and
which is turning large sums into
the treasury daily. The receipts
from this source to date from July
Ist amounted to $1o, 900, 900, more
than double the sum taken in be-

great revenue from the customs,

have already passed. and with

try will be in a pretty fair way OF
being able to pay its bills.
As the war enlarges and the
operations Of the army and navy
expand more money will be needed.

is already in the strong box bal
ance Of something like sa5o, 900,
