Eugene v Debs, the Socialist can

ties. addressed crowd of about
In hundred people at the courthouse
lis afternoon. The speaker was in
6duced by Roxy Morgan. a prominent
ember of the Socialist party at this
hce. in a few brief words.
fMr Debs started his speech by
kelling upon the history of man and
hlowed man from the time he was a
ere brute through savagery and slav-
y down to the present time. He
&clared that man was still a slave in
e form of wage Garner but that
me day he would reach the higher
kyelopment and be a man.
tThe producer. tie working man, has
every age of the world. had upon
: m the brand of inferiority," said Mr.
ebs, and this country has now reach
> the stage where there are but two
asses of people. the capitalists and
l. laborers. The middle class is rap
(ly being swept away. They are
'ther gobbled up by the capitalists
hd become wage earners or they have
hemselves gotten into the swim and
i've become capitalists. The civilized
{Orld is now undergoing a struggle
hat shakes the several governments
theH foundation-the struggle be-
Eeen capital and labor. When great
hanges have occurred in the history
any time, the great majority OF the
eople have been wrong because they
b not think. That is the reason our
brty, the Socialist party, is being
coffed at today. A hundred years
20 the majority of the people pointed
be finger of scorn at Patrick Henry
nd Thomas Jefferson, but today you
each your children to honor and re,
pect those names. They were called
he arch enemies of society in those
ays, because they were ahead OF their
ines, but they are deemed heroes and
onest men today. The world de-
ot remember the cowardly majority
vho fought against them at that time.
The speaker then took up some OF
he issues of the day for which MS
arty stands. He alleged that both
he Democratic and Republican,
arties were the tools OF the
apitalists or the capitalistic party,
nd that the politicians would not dis
uss the real issues of the times. 1hef
allied the people the horny hand
ems of toll. but declared Mr., Debs:
If you vote for these same politicians,
Gu will be the horny headed sons or
oil as we'll"
He said the people were not inter-
sted in the tariff question, the golo
tandard, but that the politicians would
iscuss no other subjects because the
rusts would not let them.
The original man worked with tool
Ihich he made himself and with THIS
ool or machine he earned his daily
read. Our grandfathers used TINS
Ool for their own use, but under the
resent system of the capitalistic party
hings had been changed
AT the present time" continued the
peaker, s'the man who owns the ma
nine cannot work it and the man VINO
works it does lot own il. he machine

ng man migft have the leisure to cn.-
lyate his own mind and enjoy recre-
'tlon. The capitalist got control OF
he machine and he now buys the Ia
'orlng mans earning power that ne
night multiply unto himself more
honey"
The speaker declared that botn
'reat political parties drew their COM
'algn funds from the same sources,
ne trusts, and that neither had issues
rat were for the benefit of the work
US man. He paid close attention to
ne courts of the land and the injunc-
non power of the federal judges. He
