| Show ADDRESS r F to mo ahe workingmen of salt lake Like city Delie delivered ered friday Epe evening xing october IS 18 1895 1 IT affords giffords me much pleasure to h have ave the honor and privilege of ad freming this chis noble body of men cen known as the workingmen of salt lake biake city there is no class of men on earth worth worthy of more respect anif and cona consideration idera than the men who toil they constitute the tone bone and ana muscle of the world they are the foundation of all human success and greatness they are the character makers of all society show me a man who toils not and 1 arwill 1 show you a person who is either infirm idiotic or a lead bead beat it ft is the natural condition of man to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow a decree oi of the great lawgiver law giver of the universe made thousands of years ago nature intends that idl all mankind should be free and ana equal and as such all should enjoy certain natural rights in in common with each other every man nanon on earth who toils should have sufficient food raiment and reccea tion lion and all should dhave have a home in this big world there is room enough for every every man and his family to have the right to domicile himself upon some spot and say this is my home but bat my friends we find that such is not the condition of these noblemen of earth the greed and avarice of mankind has led the strong to rob the weak the rich to 0 o oppress the poor in times past the deplorable con ebion of the laboring man has been due largely to his ignorance and lack jack 0 b E united effort those who were werd more fortunate than their bellows and aid w who ho have gotten power ly jy riches and accident have for ages done all they could to impede the progress of the laboring classes by keeping them in ignorance and poverty forthe purposed sei of keeping them in a state of dependence ilie power of the church and the state has been thus used and the pathway odthe of the true honest working man has been beset with difficulties and obstacles that have kept him from enjoying i his god given en rights but bui iny my friends the F skies k tes are growing brighter at each period of time the evolution of your condition is going on slowly emt surely no greit great reform was ever accomplished in fir a day great vike ike the birth of worlds nome from natural causes and I 1 pred predict tl 4 that we are nearing the end of that t atrue struggle gle which will give to the ailers toilers of earth it a much larger degree degreeff of liberty and consideration than has ever been accorded to them in in past ages what is the duty of those of us who work for our bread and expect io to do so until we go back to io mother earth eartha ast AA hayd have already

lake city if you desire to perpetuate your own bondage to the money power if you yon want to be ruled by corporations trusts combines and monopolies it if you want to work twelve hours per day for eight hours pay ay if you yon want to compete with imported cheap labor with hobos and vagrants then my friends you ought to vote the republican ticket for the reason that that party part V is the friend of millionaires and despises the tin bucket brigade it is is that party which has in the last thirty years produced thirty thousand million aires in the united stata who own one half of the wealth of the country wealth that has been taken drop by drop from the beads of sweat that fau fall front from the laborers brow each of yon gentlemen have contributed your share to this enormous aggregation of riches all this wealth has not dropped from the skies or sprung up fro from m the parth but it has como come from the pockets imil and the libor labor of the class of pimple people like unto youri yourselves elve on the other hand if you wanta return to the good old times times when it was possible to save a L put part of your day days labor irom from the expense of living when each honest toiler had a hope of finally gettig a home hom i e for himself and family when there were but few extremely rich men and but tew few abjectly poor people in our land then I 1 say vote Democratic the tickets ticket that party which has from the foundation of the government been the champion of the common people as against the encroachments encroach ments of the aristocrats and the high highborn born look at the affairs of your own city it has been practically under republican Republica ii rule for five years who were employed to do the public work here was it home men with faini families liei no the town was filled with tramps and hobos by the G 0 P who ilic did the work and voted the ticket as so many hirelings this class of labor does not belong to your class you are am on th the e progress while they are ard mere tools of their master under good old democratic rule there will aiu be ii no 0 tramps andrut and but few idle me men n all ah were happy and prosperous prospero us lab laboring oring i men men were on the highway toward the t true rue condition of mankind when we toe storm of republican extravagance and oppression swept down clown upon us the th
