THE NERBASKA INDEPENDENT
ALTGELD IN NEW YORK CITY.
Addresses Kings County Democratic
I League in Btooklyn.
y x-Goveruor John P. Aitgeld of Ilii
noin addressed a large audience in
Brooklyn last Monday. Henry George
presided. The ex-govet nor was greeted
with tremendous applause and bis
speech was a model of eloquence and
learning. The associated press gives
his speech iu part. He said:
Today the most wonderful nation on
earth is in distress. Its children are suf
fering and its fouudation stones are
slipping away. A whole generation
has paid at the war debt and has re
duced it by one-half, yet such has been
the governmental policy that today it
will require twice as much of our pro
ducts to pay the remainder as would
l have been necessary to pay it all when
it was created." Being a producing and
debtor nation, it was a crime to legis-
.; late exclusively in favor of the creditor
classes of Europe and thus destroy the
purchasing power ol our people. Every
ir,uuf ul.nuo ia infertu'inpfl with t)a
money question and you cannot ignore
it, for it fixes the limits on enterprise
and material prosperity. There must
ultimately come a system of finance or
exchange that will have a philosophic
basis and will not restrict hum tin effort.
But until this does come we demand the
restoration of the "bimetallic system as
it formerly existed in our country, for
if. u as the best thus far given the world.
Eff cts follow causes in the economic
find economical world as they do in the
f physical world. The paralysis of our
y country has been produced by certain
causes. So long as they exist they must
continue to produce the same effects.
We were promised prosperity; it has not
come, and it requires no prophet to see
that under existing conditions no per
manent prosperity can come. The forces
of destruct ion are still at work gather
ing the substance of the nation into the
hands of the few. The country is para
lyzed. The patient is told that if he
will, have confidence and go to work be
would be well. But in spite of this he is
unable to rise.
Suppose he did. Suppose that a tern-
porary stimulant could create a tempo
rary activity? It would be along old
lines; it would be harmony with those
forces that paralyze us. The patient
; would soon collapse a sreoud time and

spurt of activity under Mckinley con

poison of corporation shall go on until
every organ of the body is destroyed.

power never limits itself we must find a
method of curbing it.
1 If asked whether the government will

dutn say youdon'tknow, but that every
' step which may become necessary to
save free government and restore happi
ness in this land will be taken; say that
, if necessary to do so the government
will not only take the railroads, but
evpry monopoly and concentration of
property which offers interference with
ither the rights or the welfare of the
-people,
, For thirty years our party has been a
neutral party; the manipulators who
wished to use it as a convenience did not
Want to stand lor anything. There were
interests that seemed to control both
parties. This was the easiest way ot
controlling national legislation. Had
there been a positive, compact and ag
gressive minority party standing for
principle, the cry of distress would not
be heard in this land today. Hud there
been such a party, the Standard oil
' trust never could have nominated the
tame man three times in succession for
the presidency. Trading politicians
made this possible. Compromises,
traders and neutral men never correct
abuses, never lound or save free institu
tions, and never tight for humanjrights.
Only men of conviction and-courage can
save this land. Unfortunately we seem
to have been slowly and unconsciously
losing our personal independence.
Through the scramble for the dollar, the
longing for position and the drea3 of
criticism we are becoininir cowardlv in
conscience, in thought and in action,
f and are losing our birthrights.
No other country has drawn so much
from the storehouses of omnipotence as
has ours. In all that makes wealth,
greatness or glory we have been over
loaded. Limitless riches are within our
grasp, centuries of happiness are within
our reach, A kindly father bids us go
forth aud enjoy the estate he has pre
pit red for us, Meantime we have fallen
into the bauds of the despoiler and the
poison of political leprosy is entering
our blood. If we submit all is lost; if we
rise In our manhood and crush the enemy
it will give a now inspiration to man
Jiind. it will be a new declaration of in
dependence, broader and deeper than
that of our forefathers,

SUTHERLAND AT WORK.

As stated in the Imikpendrmt a few
weeks ago Hon. K-1). Sutherland, con-
Kress in a ii from the fifth district is work-
iug for the interests of his constituents.
A member of the minority party in
congress cannot secure the paasugu of
any very important legislation concern
jug the national government, or in vol v.
ing political questions of political impor
tant, but by iH-rsUtent and dilligut
efforts he can secure many smaller con
cessions which when nddeil tu-getlicr
make a large nmotiut. Congressman
Sutherland has had ninny requests from
resident ot his district, to look up and
investigate pension cluims. To each of

right that admirable but terribly slan

and effective of these.
The object of tha Disability net was to

have been administered solely to that
end, liut unless a man bad some one

HOT WEATHER DYSPEPSIA.

Hot weather dyspepsia may be recog
nised by the following symptoms: De
pression of spirits, heaviness and pain
iu the stomach after meals, loss of flesh
and appetite, no desire lor lood. bad
taste in the mouth, esieciall,v iii the
morning, wind in stomach and bowels,
irritable disposition, nervous weakness,
weariness, costivemss, headache, palpi
tatiou, heartburn. His a mistake to
treat such troubles with "toiiics'bhuid
puntlers," "cathartics," 'pills," because
the whole trouble Is in the stomach. It
