DEVERY'S SPEECH.

It is calculated that over 40, COO
people attended the monster picnic
given recently at Suffers Harlem
River park. New York. by William
S. Dew cry, ex-chief Of police. His
speech on the occasion was rel or ted
az follows:
There's two great events in this
country to-day. Here's one right here
tha- shows that the populsce is
supreme, end the other Is down at
Oyster Bay, which onght to be called
Washington. But trey aiu't the
same. Down there ia q t'>ousand or
more ships that belong to the people
are shooting of a million dollars
w ta of peoples powder to tickle
one men, who says there is no,
enough babies coming along in this
country.
But the babies are right here, and
the only money that's being spent is
for the people and not for our pockets.
There's the difference between these
great events spoke about. Id rather
walk down the line on my cwn feet
between this noole line Of Bugs
who viii fight fc.' the people and
these babies than sail down On s.me-
body e]se's shils that are shooting of
other peoples money
There's more 70 es in the cry of the
down-trod baby that's got a stomach
ache from too much iree i:e-cream
than there is in the roar of 81 euos.

sPECrACULARISM.

David B. Hill made . speech at
Olcott Beach, N. T.. last week, to
10000 people who attended the
annual picnic of the Niagara County
Pioneers association. The speech
attracted great notice and much com.
nent. With sure and skilfull hand
Mr.. Hill pointed out certain ten
dencies and better than anyone so
far, described the lolitcal sensstion-
elism now rampant.
The arrow of Mr.. Hill reached the
target aimed at. The republican press
Immediately began to scold him for
talking about the dear good Roose-
welt in such a way.
When Mr.. Hill said that the tendency

performance which may be charac-
terized in general terms as
"spectacularism'', he of course In

three warships at his personal SER

color into the cockades on his horses,
as if the colors were thing incident
to the presidential of6co, instead of
being the emblem of the sovereignty
of the people, is indeed the VOL thy

OF these pseudo patriots Mr.. Hill
says:

superiority. over 9th er people in mat
tiers OF patriotism they desire to be

Nebraska Independent: The foolish
ness Of issuing a currency based upon
bank assets shows In what depths OF
ignorance the republican leaders think
the people are immersed on all q1es-
lions financial. What are "bark
assets3" It is mainly what they owe
their depositors. Calling debt
an asset, is one of the cor fdence
games that the bankers have long
practiced. The Independent knows
of one bank that has $s5C00 capital, a
few chairs, a safe and q counter.
1t has $204, 900 deposits. Its assets are
therefore s229. 900, not counting the
safe, the chris and the counter.
Against that, it wants to issue at
least $ll4, 500 out and get. interest on
it. The bark thinks that would he q
very nice thing. But what is the
security that provides that those notes
shall ever be paid? The $50, 0G0 of
capital and the safe, the chairs and
the counter. That is also the only
security that the depositors o. the
$9C4. 900 have. That is worse "con-
idence game''' than selling the
Masonic Temple In Chicago for $500.
or the gold brick game. The
American people have proved to be
such mullet heads in the past tina,
bankers really have hopes of working
asset currency off on them. There arc
good many millions of mu''et heads
in these United States and perhaps
the bar l1ers have "sized them up'
correctly.

TO GEORGE RAIL.
ROAD EMPLOYEES.

The railroad ma nsgers must fear a
strike Of their employees for they
have made a be-gain with Postmaster
General Payne 10 have the United
); .tes mail carried on all trains,
passenger and f4sight. The press
report Of the arrangement states that
this will prevent any strike of rail-
rod employees te'ng eee cessful as it
will give the President power to
order United States troops to the
scene of the trouble and prevent the
strikers from interfering with the
operation of tine railroads. Thele
is one thing that may prevent the
carrying out of this program, as Con-
gresa must make the necessary ap-
preparations to pay the baggage man
and others for the extra work. Uniess
it can be shown that the public will
secure an increa: ed service that is
necessary there should be- concerted
opposition against such a conspiracy
Considering the risk run aud the
hard work they do, railroad men are
the worst paid Of any of the expert
wo1kingmen in the country and for
the United States government to use
its power by combining with the rail
roads to coers1 them in case the men
should feel that u ntrike was the Only
means Of getting fair treatment or
pay, is hardly fair play and should
not be permitted.

ROOSEVELT: A WALL STREET
FAVORITE.

AS~O~4As ASAO - " ~~>>~>
FAvORITE.
"This Is the age of men who do
things. They are our leaders and
heroes. We admire achievement. I'VE
worship success. The strenuous life
has become our ideal, and the presi-
dent Of the United States, whom We
all admire, is the exemplar Of that
life"
The above quotation from the We'll
Street Journal, Aug. 4th, 1908, indi-
Gates the real Wall street opinion of
the man who is being paraded in
republican rspers as trust buster and
an unrelenting enemy Of Wall Street,
with its watered trust and monopoly
stocks. The trust promoters under
stand, perhaps better than the public,
the meaning of the Presidents trust
fighing attitude. They know that he
has really done nothing to greatly
injure the trusts and has, at the
critical moment. always favored
trusts and great corporations.
As Governor Of New York he pre-.
tended to favor but refused to sign
the original Ford bill to tax franchises
and called an extra session to mske
the bill unconstitutional. As Presi-
dent he pretended to favor the Little
field antitrust bill but, at the last
moment. Deserted it and advocated
the passage of two bills which we're
anti thrust in name but which were
cunninQly devised in the interests of
railroads and trusts.
Wall Street knows that "words s7e
good whea backed by deeds and Only
so" as the President said year ago,
and, seeing his deeds, they do not
taks seriously the antitrust 'ul.
limitations Of the m&n who is strain
ing every muscle, AMI perhaps also
his conscience, to succeed himself as
President. Wall Street and thu trusts
will not leave their old friends, the
republican pity, next year. The
will as usual, sul y!y the sinews of
war and if the next administration
is republican they will, as usual, ex-
pect and receive proper consideration
from it-which means that they will
get what they want, no more and nc
less.
