Constitution is better than ours, and that
it's fiscal policy is better.
Congressman Sulzer also called atten-
tion to the fact that when we did not
have such powerful navy as we have
today we had at least the manhood to
express sympathy with the Greek Repub-
lie; for Poland and for Armenia. Even
should there not be secret alliance with
Great Britain, every one knows that tnere
is a secret understanding between Down
ing Street and the White House"
The speaker declared that Mark Hanna
was the greatest menace to republican IN
stitutions in the country today. Tne ad-
ministration was carrying out his prom
ises to pay back the $20,000,OO0 contributed
to elect his candidate Hanna belleved
in government by and for the trusts.
He showed up the Dingley tariff Dill as
part of the bargain Then he struck on
the currency bill, designed to turn money
over to the national banks, to take It
from people who grasp and don't under
stand and put it into the pockets OF peo-
pie who grasp and do understand.
The speaker declared that if the govern
ment attempted to treat New Jersey or
any other State of the union in the man
ner she is about to treat Porto RICO, IL
would result in revolution. The Repupn-
can party he declared, was riding rough
shod over the Declaration of lndepend-
ence, trampled under foot the Constltu-
ton of the United States, and mad turned
10 the wall the picture OF the Great
Emancipator, Lincoln" 1t was as march-
ing on to empire, and bill was now pc
fore Congress to increase the standlng
army to 100000 men because the men VINO
were trying to secure control of the he
public in the interests of the trusts saw
that the country at large would finally
revolt and they wanted a big standing
army to put down such revolt.
When Mckinley reached the White
House not more than half dozen trusts
existed. Since then over two hundred
had been formed, controlling almost every
man. woman and child in the country. MT.
Snlzer also said that twenty-five thousand
men out of a population of 100000 owned
three-quarters of the country's Wealth by
reason of iniquitous legislation placed
upon the statute books by the Republican
party. 'eThe Democratic party, declared
the speaker "does not believe in speclal
leeisla ton in the personal interests OF a
favored few. 1t stands for all.
In concluding, Mr.. Sulzer declared that
his effort had been made simply with
view to getting his hearers to take up
the Declaration OF Independence and the
Constitution and read them, not only to
themselves, but to their children.
Congressman Salmon succeeded Mr.. Sui
zer. He expressed exxactly the senti-
ments enunciated by both Congressman
Robinson and Congressman Sulzer. He
said that from the manner in which the
Republican party had talked of the flag
one might imagine that the Republican
party owned it. For himself, he declared,
if he was on foreign shore and saw
in the myriads of flags flying from mast
beads in a harbor the Stars and Stripes
he would at least like to be relieved of
the suspense naturally attendant upon the
query:-"Is it the flag of the United
States or that of the Sulu Harem?" He
expressed the belief that an alliance or
secret understanding exixsted between the
Administration at Washington and Great
Britain. The Republican party, he de-
clared, was leading the people of this
country away from the country's tradi-
tions.
