PENDING POLITICAL UpHEAyEL.
MY fellow citizens, We are living In
an era Of political unrest and nm
heaval. The f~lercest political battle
IS being waged IN this country that
has been fought since the founda-
tien Of u Government. 1t 10 a fight
ny the people, the toilins masses. ana
ny that l mean those whs toll BY
brain or muscle for q livelihood
without sharing in governmental fav-
ora, FOR the right to participate IN
their own government. 1t Is an Of.
fsre to wrest from the powers Of
greed and avarlce the reins OF gov
eminent which they have held under
republican administration for twenty
years. shaping and molding the leg
isiation of this country. Is this to bs
a government by the people. and for
the people. or Is It to continue to be
a government, at the expense OF the
many, for the benefit OF the few II
is said that the Payne-Aldrich Tariff
bill Is the most Ubiquitous measure
ever put upon the federal statute
book. and I believe. perhaps that Is
correct. Yet I hold that the pas
sage of 1t was a boon to the Amer
lean people. It sounded as a call 70
arms from ocean to ocean. It told vi
the broken faith OF a great political
party. Of a victory won by campaign
promises which were repudiated and
trampled under foot in the hour OF
triumph. It made the people of the
country realize that the forces 0!
greed and avarice were no respecto-s
OF sectional lines: that while, with
one hand, throuel m iniQuitous ta--
ia, they plunderad the farmers o,
the west, with TIL other hand undel
the same law. they %plundered ths
farmers OF the south. It made mel
realize that If a victory for the peo
ple was to be Won. all honest men re
gardless Of geographical lines had t.

we're enabled more clearly to see thiI
because tho old sectional issues wer'
