I venture to aay that la all c ur recollections of the late war none of us were ever called to mourn over the newly made grare of a millionaire. T. soldier loves them most who knows tbem least Hit ontu( iub uiu - r iiiBa thaw -r nnt nn- av ut luiqw, huv . . - r poend to the accutnulati"n of wealth, bt they are opposed to its unjust dis tri nation; thev believe that the nccumu l.iin. -.fth ia i h firt .ten in social improvement, and that the nest thins im importance is its proper distribution among the several member j of socd'tv. This distribution, if left fro to follow natural laws, would be found to . In in accordance with the skill, industry and economy of those who toil. The recent concentration of wealth in the hands of a few is causing alarm in the minds of all thoughtful men. That wealth, in this country, has be come a great political power, no fair minded man will deny. Our people rely on their Inherent sovereignty as the truo basil of Just government, and they are not willing that oower and dominion should have any other foun dation. They believe that whon wealth Bsnrps the place of man in government, -It becomes man's oppressor. They be lieve that man should be above every system, and that in mm all political power must center or calamity will follow. , , The old idea that the favored few ought to govern and the modern idea of a government of the people are nat urally aatagouistio There can be to compromise between these two oppos ing forces. The people are organizing for a great political contest, a contest the results of which will prove that the integrity, honor, courage and patriotism -of our peop'.H can be relied on in any emergency. This contest will not end antil corporations, combinations, and monopolies bow in submission t ) just laws. . I will close by using languupe different, though similar, to that cced by my eloquent young colleague. I sy, "In that day" the people will be sover eign; "long live the sovereign."
