course of his speech he said It is now twenty five years that the Republican party have controlled the administration and executive affairs of this country and it is of the first Importance that you and I should consider the question whether that is as long as one set of men or not shall continue In atEolute control in other words the question is before nsought not thereto there-to ba a change I ask your attention only to tbe last nine years during which that party his ccntrolled I cannot find figures or words to express ex-press to you the enormous sums of money that have been collected and the enormous mine that have been paid out I will refer by way of illustration only to one year the last year as reported by the Secretary Secre-tary of the Treasury the collections and expenditures amounted to 8663000000 The history ot those transactions is found In many thousand thou-sand volumes and they were recorded re-corded by many thousands of men men belonging to one parly only No Democrats have been allowed to participate in any of the affairs of the country tpeak in substance An occasional Democrat may be allowed al-lowed an office but for great purposes pur-poses for administering the affairs of government Democrats have been excluded and to you nun the question is presented njw ought thHe not to be a change Who knows what is wrong In the books Should they not be opened Should there be no opportunity for us to know whats wrong in the records of the country so wo may know whether it ia well or ill I dont claim that one political party in the first place in its organfziton is probably anymore any-more honest than the other If we had no pciiccai parties in thi country and were going to establish two polit cal parties and were to run aline through this crowd and the men on that side would be of one party and the men on this side of the other patty the cbance arc there would be just aa many honest men on cne side as the other and as many rogues on one aide perhaps a on the other but supposa this party comes into power and it becomes established that it is going to retain power fo < twenty year and have thecontrol of the offices the contro of the money of then country dont > ou nee that all the rogues on thN ride would come over andJin J the strong side and gradually push the bonut men on this side bad and hack until they would take control of the dominant party themselves TJey for tIo last l nineteen yews have said to every Drmocrat You s > all have no voice in the control ct tLc affairs of the government Ihey have eeen fit to occupy that pwi tlon a cruel proscriptive unl cy excluding every man Unit I did noi agreo with them What do ysti tblnk of it my countrymen Shall it be continued any longer Cries of nol I Mr Cmkine the U pub licaa caudiaate for Governor a few weeks ago said We now have four hundred millions in the Treasury He sad that byway by-way of breggadocia What right his government to 81COCOOOOO of the peoples money tnat it has no occasion to use in udmiiustra < tlon of its affairs r What woud be tha fleet if the taxes were reduce so that the money would coma beck into your pockets and into the channels of trade Dnt you know that it would give e jploymenc to labores Dont you know it would stimulate enterprise Send that money into the channels of trada and wheat would sell tab t-ab ggine market for 62 cents 72 cents and 78 cents a bushel It is 50 cents a bushel lower today than it was when you elected the Republican Repub-lican candidate four yeats ago wno made James G Blaine SeTuiary of State and if you hv your mortgage mort-gage for the interest upin it ount ing a bushel for a dollar it takes a goodimany more buehels now to pay the interest upon your mortgage debt than it did four years ago and when you come to pay your mortgage mort-gage off it will take a good many more hundred bushels than it did a good while ago They dont say to you now as they did four years ago let well eiiou h alone it is not well enough it is bad enouzh When you see a man out of employment you my know there is trouble somewhere God wrote it in the early days of our racp that by the sweat of his brow a man shall earn his bread but it did seem that there was coupled with that divine semi men that perhaps a man should should have a chance to earn bread by the eweat of his brow but it is not BO There are a few other matters about which probably I ought to speak to you tins utter non The RepublIcans have pretty much glvtn you and me up my tel low citizens They do not expect any more to get the votes of the natives
