ol great benefit to communities. Dank
dltoounti are an essential port ol mod
ern commerce, and many important en
terprises are inads possible through the
assistance of the banks. The batik, by
concurrent action, oan and sometimes
do. perform a great public service by up
holding credit and preventing disaster to
the commercial Interests when they are
shaken by financial disturbances. I do
not underestimate the importance of all
this. While banking is an employment
which absorbs wealth without produc
ing It, yet within legitimate limits it per
forms a uselul function In business econ
omy. It Is only when the banks, and
similar institutions, undertake, singly or
by combination, to dlotate the fiscal
polloiee ol the government and regulate
the monetary affairs of the oplu, that
they become a menace. If any siiccial
interest or combination can ooutrol the
purse-strings of the nation and the peo.
pie, It oan control the business ol the
country. Now, 1 undertake to say that
the great productive industries ol this
country should not be In subjection to
any uoa-prouueuve lore or lullueuce,
whether represented ty banks or any
thing else. Tbs well-being ol society I
depeuduut unon its industrial lorces, and
they should be guarded against Injustice
ad oiipreaaiou. Auu-rouuctive eut
DluymenU should be subordinate, not
paramount. When those who produce
least, acquire most; when mere abaor bars
beeoma the rulers, there Is something
mmqI tally wrong in social and ecuaomto
conditions. The enormous conceutra
ttonol wealth which has taken place
during the last thirty years has rtUJ

cant ol the population owned 97 per cent
ol her wealth. The people were etarved
to death. When Persia went down, 1
per cent ol her population owned the
land. When Babylon went down, SI per
cent of the population owned all tha
wealth. Tho people were starved to
death. When Home went down 1,800
men owned all the known world." I am
not so pessimistic as to believe that
this concentration of wealth now exist
ing presages a speedy collapse of the re
public; but it does denote a condition
and a tendency perilous to republican
institutions. Plutocracy, the world
over, Is a standing menace to free gov
ernment. The corrupting power of
money is appalling; and corruption is
the vice that gnaws at the vitals of pop
ular government and opens the way to
usurpation. But aside from all that,
the condition to which I allude is most
unfortunate from a purely economic
point of view, 1 1 magnifies the power of
mere money accumulations, and puts
tns real, beneficial interests of the conn
try mors or less In thsir power. The
great wealth creating energies of the
nation are held captive at the chariot

Industries which sustain and dignify our

manipulated ae to enrich the money
changers by direct eitortious from the

unnatural, and altogether bad. I ties-

much In recent years. It is time that
business men should speak for " them
selves. During the last eamiialgn
was charged that the democratic party
was hostile to the business interests ol
the country, and that tha elootion of its
oandidate would be a public calamity
rreposterous as those charge were,
timid but well meaning men were found
to give them credence. It is impossible
that the domoeratio party should make
an assault on business prosperity or In
tegrity. Why, it is, and always has
been, ths great conservative party ol
the country. It did regard existing
economic and Industrial conditions with
disfavor, and still does. It did strive to
change the policies that produced these
conditions, and will strive again. It did
seek to liberate industry from bondage
and to unfetter the spirit of enterprise,
ana win again. It did condemn the ar
rogant and debasing rule of plutocracy
and will again. It did make a heroic ef
fort to re-establish distinct American
policies for ths American people, and will
again. All this it did not to Injure, but
to promote tha public weal. There has
never been a day or an hour In the long,
eventful history of that great old party
when every legitimate Interest of the
people was not absolutely sole In its
hands. And ths eaudidata tha party
supported witn suon enthusiasm, was
worthy of itacoufldeoos. Deeoended from
honorable parentage and reared under
Christian intluencee; a man ol gentle
mannsre. ol Irreproachable life, of lofty
ninnls, ol patriotic impulses, nud spIko
did endowments, this young Hon ol ths
democracy is a typical AmnMtu. To
