Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1904-08-24

passage, the schedules which had been
made while 1t. was in the house was
not satisfactory to the sugar trust, and
they rushed to Washington city.
Hevemeyer was put in touch with
Carlisle, Cleyeland's secretary Of the
treasury. And what happened then?
Mr.. Hevemeyer who, by the way had
been introduced to Carlisle by stephen
Elkins-did you ever hear OF Steve
laughter) of West Virginia? He is
the son-in-law. Of the vice-presi-
dental nominee on the democratic
ticket - introduced to Cal Isle.
Carlisle found out what he wanted
and he took his pen, Carlisle
did, and he wrote down himself ex-
actly the schedule which the sugar
trust wanted, and thereby put millions
into the pockets OF the sugar trust,
and millions of tai on the American
people, and why? Because the sugar
trust had contributed 9z50,000 to the
democratic state campaign fund in the
| state of New York. But am proud
to say that the peoples party had
! in the senate Of the United States q
| man who was not ashamed OF his
party or principles, and he brought
that sugar trust before an lnvestigat-
ing committee, which turned it's books
to the open gaze of the people, and
| brought down all the odiu1n Of eApo-
sure upon that deal. 1 allude to your
brave, able, true-hearted senator from
Nebraska, the Hon. William V. Allen.
applause which was long continued
II you want any more sugar schedules
written as Havemeyer wants them,
look to Olney and the democratic
party.
T Here comes German Of the state of
Maryland. Have you ever heard OF
German? lie is a cousin of Davis.
Stephen Elkins is the go-between that
introduced him to Hevemeyer. On
the democratic side Arthur p. German
stands for the trusts, just as Aldrich
stands on the republican side, and |
appeal to Senator Allen If that is not
| right. On the democratic side German
speaks, acts and works and fights for
the trusts, just as Aldrich does on the
republican side.
Then comes Belmont. Who is Bel
mont? The American agent Of the
Rothschilds. Now, you begin to- see
| don't you? You remember that C;eve-
land bond issue-the midnight deal?
| Morgan, Belmont, Rothschild, Cleve-
land, a night time deal in which the
bonds Of the United states, one of the
! richest countries on earth, were
turned over to this syndicate at a pri-
| vate deal. at a smaller price than
many railroad bond sells for; and
thus this bond syndicate, represented
by Belmont and Morgan, got from
| the American people $262, 000, 900 in
bonds, and we have noc got thing to
| snow for it; we haven't got another
| acre OF land, or another gun to show
for it, or lighthouse to show for it.
| What have we got to show for it?
| The single gold standard. (Applausc.)
You remember how coin was con-
strued to mean gold, and thus by the
use OF paper dollars, gold was raked
out of the treasury in order to compel
the issue of bonds to bond the people
until Wall street for time had
enough
I beg to call your attention to the
fact that that situa=-on remains ex-
actly where Cleveland left it. exactly.
The same endless chain can he worked
again; the same exchange of paper and
treasury notes in exchange for gold
can be made again. The same appeal
for bonds upon the American people
can be made again. xne only thing
that relieved the situation was the
discovery of gold in Klondike and the
discovery of the process OF working
low grade ores that can be worked
at profit now. And if those resources
should fail us tomorrow, we would be
IN the same condition now as then.
Then the people can look for another
Cleveland administration, which was
the rottenest administration we have
ever had, in my opinion.
! Some man tells me IN an eloquent
voice, look to the democratic party for
relief. Nobody, expects 20 look to the
republican party, nobody The widest
man knows that would not do. We
are going to regenerare the party.
Pledge it to what? Can you pledge it
more solemnly than it was pledged in
1892? Can you pledge it more SOL
EMMY than it was pledged in 1896?
Here is the handbook of 1892. that
tells what it was pledged to. 1t
was pledged to the removal of
the tariff which was denounced
then as it is now in St. Louis
in 1904. The very same thing meant
as much then as it does now-and it
meant nothing then, anu 1t means
nothing now. (Applause.) In 1896
they went further and they pledged
themselves to the abolition of national
banks. They didn't do that this time,
You put them into power in 1892. They
had the house; they mad the senate:
they had the cabinet; the president.
They had it sll and every pledge they
broke, and did exactly what they told
you they would not do. Isn't that
true? The charters of the banks ex-
pired in 1893, and they were rechar-
tered for twenty more years, and the
democratic party did not make a kick
