Are we on the verge of a French
revolution? No. we are not. We have
what the French had not what the
Russians have not-the vote, the safety
valve through which to Wreak our ven
geance.
''The day of competition is past and
the day of cooperation has come. 1t is
the same in the world of labor. The
man who works in the streets has found
it to his interests to combine, and you
cannot convince him otherwise So you
have the labor unions. The new mutu-
alism will be the uniting of the classes.
The interests of all are one. Society is
an organism, not a mechanism; one
part cannot be hurt without affecting
the rest.
IT would not dare to assert this, but
wonder if the craze for municipal
ownership that has been sweeping over
the country may not be in the inter-
ests of the new mutualism? We must
not confuse this idea with socialism. 1t
is very different. Scientific socialism
believe the American people will re-
pudiate. 1t is not in accord with the
principles of our constitution. 1t de-
stroys all individual initiation. All fair
minded men will admit that we should
go slowly in this matter.
'"There is new mutualism in relig-
ion. We are beginning to realize that.
while the Protestant reformation gave
us positive gains it also involved posi-
tive loses. The greatest of these was
naturalization, that glorious fellowship
of the Catholic church. We are hun
cry to-day, as we have never been hum
cry before for unity. We are weary of
divisions and sects.
"A significant fact is the convention
of thirty Protestant sects at New York.
Some ask where the unity is when such
men as Edward Everett Hale are re-
fused admission? There is some ground
for the question, but the protests
against this action on every side are
more significant than the action Of the
committee.
'"There are only two PHILOSOPHERS in
life, mutualism and individualism. This
is, after all, the one great truth of the
New Testament, that men ought to
stand for one another and not against
one another. Nothing is so sure in this
world as the irresistible triumphant
onward march of a. glorious ideal.'
Rev. Father Slocum of Waterbury
was the last speaker. He said in sub
stance: 1.-THE remarks Of Mr.. Haynes
have been a great inspiration to me. I
do not often have a chance to hear such
a speech.
1--WE find that it is the business men
who have generally been the standby
of the community in it's need. If there
is one class which any. country is abb
solutely in need of 1t is this middle
class of business men. This is the sec
ret of England's great strength.
''I must say that I am an optimist.
do not believe there is any great dan
ger. believe. the salvation of the cotn-
try will come from you business men.
"There is danger in this business of
monopoly, of gathering wealth outside
of the community where it is produced,
if it continues, but you will not endure
1t. That is the very thing that has
brought revolution and anarchy in the
past.
ct believe you business associations
have been little bit careless. Social
ism cannot get foothold here think.
But do3you realize the immense imni-
grafton of people every year imbued
with the idea that all government is
wrong? You have too easy an idea of
the safety of the country.
"This country has always had two
parties, and will be governed by one Or
the other. The government of this
country is party government. If a man
wants to achieve reform he must bring
it about within his own party.
eff there is any fault you business.
men have to accuse yourselves of it is
of being Indifferent when your party
goes wrong. There is a great demand
in political affairs.
''It is the duty Of the business men of
the country to correct injustice where
it exists. Philanthropy and charity cam
not take the place of justice.
"There is no better man to lead the
nation than he who has undertaken it,
The achievement of the peace of Ports
mouth was a veritable miracle. We
face to-day conditions that the Ameri-.
can people have never faced before It
is the part of all loyal Americans to
stand by Roosevelt. The last time of
sectional division in voting has passed.
1.-THE principle of the constitution de-
velops the best that is in man. Here
Catholic and Protestant stand side by
side as American citizens, forgetting
the anmosities brought from across the
waters. I echo the sentiment of Rev
Mr.. Haynes, and shake hands with
him"
There was great applause as Father
Slocum and Rev. Mr.. Haynes elapsed
hands. Three cheers for Father Slocum
we're heartily given and three for Con-
g"es-man N. D. Sperry followed. After
few words from Mr.. Sperry the as
senbly dispersed.
