 We had better quiet down and get to business. We better a thousand times explore for the greater uses of swollen fortunes than to spend our time in childish attempts to restrict the power and privilege of men to ac- quire them If we want to reduce swollen fortunes we better look about for ne wand greater useS to which to apply them in opening ten thousand unemployed and unused resources of our country, than in the socialistic in- sanity of confscating them above a certain sum to be set by our congress- i men.
 We have only begun to swell the fortunes of the world. Millions have taken the place of hundres of thou sands as a measure of wealth. 8il- lions will displaee millions before the century closes. The wealth of this country is increasing at the rate of $1O,O0O,OOO day. Railways are so over whelmed with the business of this country that Wrecks are the current news at every breakfast.

It is a despotism which threatens our demo- cratic institutions. It clutches by the throat our plainest and most funda- mental liberties It makes the absurd boast of having produced the wealth of the world by the labor of the hand. How much was there in the world when the hand was the only thing that worked? It was only after the brain began to work that men discov- cred ways of developing the resources of this earth by the forces of nature and by thousand nventions4-which the man who worked with his hand tried odestroy that handwork did 1 anything beyond the rudest forms.
 "The labor of this world to-day is brain labor and the hand toiler has the easier Job thousand fold. The brains of wealth are furnishing the laboring man with his chance to worlSA Every body will sympathize with the organi- zation of the workingmen for the inn 1 provement of their condition. But all men should resist the tyranny which expresses both business and free American citizens who choose not to organize
 Congressman Waldo of New York in a speech took occasion to reply to some of the statements of Chancellor Day.
