We look to the State, and no

bray? ruler lifts the standard of
Duty. - n<l being loyal to it himself,
i^s^jires loyalty in others.
The time was when the President
loved the people, trusted the people,
worked for the people. Those were
the times when there was light on
the hearth, plenty on the board, and
confident hope in the hearts of the
people.
t hose were the times when our
rulers remembered that our fore-
fathers came here to build them a
temple, a government, differing in
all vital rrspects from the hateful
systems of the Old World.
For this very pur jo e that of es-
tablishing a system entirely different
from that of Europe—our fore-
fathers bra\ed the peli:s of the deep;
fought hunger and dared death;
battled with the wilderness and the
savages ii held, determined to die

hi Europe they were fettered
'class laws, class privileges, class
tyrannies.
They were crowded out from a
fair competition for a share of
nature's bounties, by monopolies,
chartered wrongs, statutory abuses,
legalized spoliations.
Braver than we, their degenerate
sons, they counted life worth nothing
unless freedom went with it, and
their coming here was a sublime pro-
test against the Old World system of
class and privilege and monopoly.
■ at have we to-day, as the result
of all their heroism and suffering
arttl success?
We have oui rulers aping every-
thing Europe does, and fitting upon
us forever the abominable sytem our
forefathers fled to escape.
Where are class laws more iuso
lently dominant than here?
Where are special privileges more
tyrannically exacting than here?
Where are monopolies more con-
temptuous of law and public welfare
than here?
What people are greater slaves to
misgovernment than you whose four
cent cotton must stand the strain of
more untaxed bonds, more useless
offices, and a steady growth of ever
increasing salaries?
Who pay nine-tenths of all the
taxes?
The many who toil.
Who gets the lion's share of all the
wealth produced?
The few who do not toil.
In what country do the laborers in
shop and mine and mill and field pro-
duce more of the good things of life
than 111 ours?
It cannot be named.
In what country has nature opened
her royal hands with u more regal
bounty?
It cannot be named.
Has there beer, failure of harvest?
No.
Has there been pestilence, or in -
vision, or civil strife?
No.
Then why i ; i! that the signal guns
ot distress sound all along the com-
mercial seas, telling of ships going
down in the storm?
Why is it that the red flag of the
auctioneer is in every street?
Why is it that the feet of the
homeless and the unemployed beat
the pavements with a never-ending
march?
Oh, brothers! why are so many
hungry mouths unfed, so many de
spairing souls weighed down with
the nameless dread of the unknown
future.
We have left the beaten track of
our fathers. We have let the old
nclniarks be forgotten. We have
rone after strange gods.
We have forsworn the faith upon
Oil-ibtiis?
Neither will ever cut loose.
In the coils of the serpents of the
sea. the l.aocoon may struggle, but
will nevertheless be powerless to es
cape.
Why cannot we ci. loose from
