illegal monopolies and trusts are try.
ing to force upon US, and upon oul
heritage, it can be, depended upon
that, just as soon as such time ar
rives and such condition demands,
that the people will make as willing,
earnest and patriotic an effort and
sacri flee for what is right, as they
have done upon other occasions.
I do not anticipate that the arbi-
triment Of stern and cruel war will
be necessary to absolve this nation
from the pernioious efforts of heart
less money kings, for the strength Of
public sentiment is fast becoming
tho greatest power for good, and
with the helpmates of education,
commerce and communication, nc
wrong of a public nature will either
long stand unchallenged nor be per.
mitted to permanently fasten itself
upon the body polite. j..
Captains of industry are necess.
ary and essential to carry out great
enterprises and to advance the gen
eral welfare of our nation as whole,
but political brigandage and com
mercial piracy will never be toler,
ated by this great liberty loving and
God fearing nation, under the guise
of legal license.
We refer to this for the purpose on
ly of calling your attention to the
future and that there are auctions
of great national import and mo-
ment, that are inviting proper solu-
ton to-day.
ANARCHY.
Again. there is an element, for
tunately small in numbers, that is
found to some extent all over our
land, that processes to be discon :
tented with orderly conditions, and
with our institutions, who profess
and teach and preach, that our eco
nomic and moral standards are
wrong, and who view our laws with
contempt, who dissimulate the prin.
ciples of anarchy, and who practice
assassination. 70 these misguided,
and misdirected mal-contents, les:
sons Of public discipline must be
persistently and forcibly given. ''
TAX DODGERS.
Again, there is a class, who profess
to be God-fearing and liberty loving
yet, who, by their practices,if not by
their professions, appear to hold our
laws and their principles in con-
tempt. By this Glass; do not mean
those who resort to the atrocious,
'unbuman end deplorable practice Of
lynching, when their Judgement q
desire dictates, which of itself is q
public evil that must be discontinued
in order that consistency may apply
to our form of government, but I
refer to those who consider, any
method or means by which they can
avoid the operation of our tax laws,
proper and justifitable and while
they denounce lying in any form, or
to any extent, yet, unhesitatingly
and without remorse of conscience,
sign their names to the bottom of
the tax assessors lists, that they
have prepared, with a feeling of
pride, that by such perjury, they
have been able to escape their just
and proper share of public taxes and
have shifted the burden of public
expense upon others. This class is
as injurious to the moral and pub
lie welfare IF our country, as the
anar chist or the monopolist. and is
an evil that should invite our SER
ious consideration in order that the
practice may cease.
LABOR AND CAPITAL.
Probably one of the greatest.
if not the greatest question
that concerns the American
people, and in fact the whole
world g civilization. and which calls
for great seriousness of study in its
proper solution is that of the relation
