| government. because it is apt to stir
| the blood very hotly To see these men
trying to get into power again. We
/ have heard a great deal of talk in con-
demnation of invisible government.
Invisible government never exist

existed in past years in this state of
New Jersey.

impudent attempt to renstate these

scHooLMAsTERS DUTY.
You remember that six years ago
when | was running for governor in
this state, it was said that l was a
schoolmaster L had to admit it be-
cause it was so. but l told them that
was running, as a schoolmaster on
this understanding: That the bust
ness of a schoolmaster was under
stood to be to find out everything he
could and tell all he knew about it,
and promised them that if | was elect
ed, | would find out everything l

1t. l did find it out. 1 did tell them,
and If they have not forgotten the les
son, they turn with reprobation and
contempt away from the men who are
trying to establish the things which
they then destroyed.
ut is delightful to fight the things
that are wrong. 1t is delightful to hit
something that is worth hitting and de-

appointing in contests of this sort is
that these fellows dodge and will not
get hit They sneak and will not re-
veal their purposes.
But, after all, my fellow citizens the
thing that is being attempted in New
Jersey is only part of what is being
, attempted in the United States and be-
ing attempted in the United States
with more and more transparency of
purpose.
! Look how the campaign has gone.
First Of all. an attempt to set up
some kind of handsome issue. Not
, very interesting attempt because the
issue was new one every week. AS
soon as you ;.proached what was said
to be the issue, it seemed to fade and
, disappear and there was nothing for

finding that the search for an issue
t was in vain, they came down once
, more to the only thing they have in
| recent years ever known how to talk
| about and that was the protective
! tariff.
| They know perfectly well that all
t the pretenses about the protective tariff
| have been torn away, not by the ora

A the patent demonstrations of fact.
t They know that the working men of
= this country may have been deceived
: for little while, but they cannot be
y deceived all the time. They know just
n as well as we know, that the indus
o tries in which the highest protection
g was given paid the lowest wages and
Y they know that the highest wages
a were paid in the least protected indus
= tries. That is a matter of record.
e Not only that, they know that in
: some of the most highly protected in
e dustries the conditions under which the
g laboring people live were disgrace to
s our civilization.
COERCION ATTEMPTED.
H., And now what do we witness
Having despGired of an issue, they are
not only filling the country with
!, alarms, but they are attempting coer-
= cion of their laborers imaginging that
:, these men are not their own masters
- and dare not vote as they think; and
:, at last, | thank God, the American
laborer is awake
"He at last judges his friends by
what they do and not by what they
say. He knows that he has found
friends, because he has found who will
do the thing that he has demanded
should be done in justice and equity
n to him.

Y The larms are their own, not ours
They used to control the credit of the
country; they now control nothing but
the betting.
