diSiEtereSted patriots VINO Wcuiu VIII
lingly shed their blood Tor the pubic
interests.
Every speech delivered by Chauncey
NJ. D pew, by Joseph r Burton, OF
any CT the other republican senators
OF members OF congress was pointed
to as the utterance Of far-seeine
statesman who would as quickly
desert his own party had his own
party attacked the public interests
as the democratic party was then
chsrged with doing. And consider.
able number Of people really believed
that these men we're defenders o.
national honor. They really believed
shat they we're men standing Tor the
best course for the whole people.
Several million men went TO the poli-
and voted the republican ticket under
the impression that that party was
the God and morality organ;za,
tion, rather than the party Of pecula.
tion and plunde1-as they now know
it to be.
Does any one believe that the
things complained OF in the Depews
and the Burtons would not have been
condemned by Americans ten,
twenty, fifty, or a hundred years age?
Would the American people Ct the
long ago knowingly have given their
approval to conspiraciss in restraint OF
trade, to nonopolies in the necss
saries OF life? Woulj Americans Of
tbs long ago have looked with az
prevail upon an Aldrich did they
know that be stood IN the senate as
the tool of special interests rather
tran as the representative OF the peo-
pie? Has there been q period in
American history when men would
not have known that the embezz!s-
menu of depositors' money by the
B:gelows and the Andrews was
wrong? Has there ever been time
when Americans would not see the
evil when Uni.ed States senators &C.
cepted from private interests fees for
their services in public affairs? Dur
ing what particular period did Ameri'
cans so far forget the simple rules Of
common honesty that they would
nave failed to recognize as stea ing
The appropriation Ct pollcyholders'
money fer the use and bsneft OF ths
republican par-J? During what
period would they fall TO detect IL
iq 1lsy In the bribss given by coal
ions to railroad eaployes and off
ciaIs in oIdsr that the coal truS;
might secure undue advantage?
Wnsn cid they ever look upon re-
osues as anything but uEfair and dis.
honest both to the railroad stock
holder and to the general public?
Would the sight OF Rockefeller
do6ging cficerS OF the law inspire
g;eazer admiration among the Ameri
c:ns OF the long ago than 1t does
among the Americans Of today? Are
The Americans OF today so much
brighter Jnan their predecessors that

Of tie Chicago Carcnicle advocated
