Having had something to develop,

In ONCE until he carried out as far
as 1t could be done, the very convic-
lions upon which he had gained the
most. Then what? The Hamiltonian
doctrine came again; class. law, ma
t1onal banks, moneyed aristocracy,
bonds, favors to the moneyed classes.
It all came again under John @.
Adams.

Jackson of Tennessee. applause
He called himself a democrat. And
what did he fight? First of all
he fought the national bank Ham,
1lton1anism. First of az, ne fought for
the right of the common man as
against the right of that special few
who arrogated to themselves all the
wisdom of Almighty God and all the
blessings in this universe. applause. }
And what happened? Jackson got
whipped; he was defeated. What did
he do? Did he take off that bait and
put some other bait on his hook?
(Laughter). Did he change his sail?
DID he put his boat upon another tack ?
Did he bow down and say to the peo-

was a little boy. then didn't under-
stand how It was done stheE. under
stand 1T now. Laughter.J I UNDER
stand It now. The newspapers sup
pressing something which was true.
and publishing something's which were
not true - exaggerating everything
that would hurt ana shrinking every
thing that would help. The politicians
saying to- the people, don't start a
third party; get your reforms inside
of your own party. Yes, and I will
do that for you. They did that in the
west with the republican greenbacker:
they did that in the south with the
democratic greenbacker; they thought
that The democratic party did it
and the democratic party thought
the republicans did it, and the
purpose was the same, to cut the
ground from under your feet and then
laugh at you. And so they went their
way, the old greenbackers did and
Joined those who had followed the flag
OF the lost cause and their principles
seemed buried forever; their hope
delusion. But, oh, my couptrymen, /
thank God the cause did not die.
The greenbacker seemed to die, but
he didn't. He had sown the seed
broadcast over the land. The birds
took some, which is always the case;
the winds took some, wa1cn is always
the case; and the rock and the sterile
soil took some, which is always the
case, but some fell in the fruitful soil
and sprung up in after years.. and
made glorious harvest. (Applause.)
So the two old parties having side
tracked the living issue, having had
no further use for it, struck the green
back principles from their platforms,
and they went right back to the same
old stand, where they have been doing
business since the war; And if you
can imagine democrat or republican
doing SO undigniAed a thing, you can
imagine that the republican leaders in
the west, and the democratic leaders
in the south, after they got to Wash
ington, would have met one another
with a smile and might have done
this (indicating). (Applause.) They
went hack to the ola stand; went to
doing the same old thing. National
banks, bonds, class legislation, trusts
and combines built up by both parties.
Then what? Down into the south
came the western farmer with a mes

ticed the freedom of conscience. I say
what the colonists did in the south at
Jamestown, the other cOIOnists did
also at Plymouth Rock, and so these
two communities planted their stand
ards and proclaimed the sacred prin-
ciples of human progress and human
liberty. (Applause.) 1t was not their
purpose to establish a government like
that of France; it Was not >their pur-
pose to establish a government like
that of England; not their purpose to
establish government like Prussia,
or like that OF Austria or OF Russia.
No, they had had enough of the privi-
legged few; they had had enough Of class
law; they had had enough OF corrup-
ton; they had had enough of oppres-
sion, they had had enough of tyranny,
and they came here not to make a
government like those abroad, but a
government different from those
abroad (appplause), ana throwing off
the yoke of the king, the combination
of church and state, the yoke OF 1the
nobility, the dictation of the priest.
they dedicated their energies to the
government of all the people, equal
and exact justice to all. men, and class
privileges to none. >(Applause.)4 =,
need not dwell for moment ex-
cept to remind you that under these
splendid principles, with these SPLEEN
did beginnings how rae colonies rose
into q great democracy, a*great re-
public; because in the broad sense of
the term the two words mean the
same, the rule OF the people,. by the
people, and for the people. (Applause.)

fasten her grip, her tax system her
caste system upon us, we cried out,

nothing but death could strike out Of
my heart. (Applause.) =
How long has it been since our peo-
pie in the old world struggled with
conditions worse than these which we
have here today; it" has not been SO
long comparatively ssnce ali this coun-
try was wilderness, and its every in
habitant a savage. It has not been
so long since it was given over to
the wild beast and the wild man who
came here. Go and trace it to the
jamestown in the south, or the Ply
mouth Rock in the east, and the an
sWer is the same. 1t was the tyranny,
the oppression, the undesirable burdens
of the old world that drove those pion-
GERS out. The king, the priest, the
church, the state, tyrannical. privi-
legged in power, and the individual
without power, without privilege, with
out freedom. King the source of all

conscience; the church and state tax
Ing the masses to the utmost limit
of endurance, and dividing the results
between them in tithes and taxes: No
freedom of speech; no freedom OF con-
science; no civil law or corporate;
everything 'centered in the hands OF
the king and the nobility. Brave men
said these things are uncomfortable.
Brave men said. let us risk the saw
age and the wilderness in which he
dwells, and make us new home and
dedicate it to the rights of men. And
so they came, the bravest men known
to history; the pioneers of the south,
the pioneers of the north; the pio-
neers OF the east who risked all the
horrors and all the suffering, and all
the dangers OF that terrible situation
rather than live to be servants of the
kings in the old world. (Applause.)
What did they intend to establish?
The very first assemblage that met
in the south at Jamestown in old
Virginia; the first assemblage in 1919
pledged that handful of colonists to
the rights of trial by jury, representa-
tive government to make their own To-
cal laws, freedom of speech. and while
they did not proclaim 1T, they prac-

inevitable as the conflict between right
