UNCLE JOE CANNON , , , - I I ' ( Continued from first pati c , ) ; 1 1 to take more chance There was an improved ! condition in the { market which everyone saw , and the wheels began to turn. f The Rcpubtican Party believes i that this change was duc to thc principal of protection. Now I want to touch my final point in this address , and I wilt conclude. 1'0 do that I must go back and give a little history. . . . South of an , , imaginary bile called - ed Mason's and Dixon's lincthere was in 1860 servile labor-owncd and drivcn lahor. Many of us were born south of that line ; 1 was. This labor worked without com ) cnsatton except support. North of that line there was free labor , which had a voice in thc control of thc Reoublic , sovereign ' in respects - labor , and doing , many spccts ; thc same kind of work. Tiiey voted , and to bc educated to assume thc responsibilities and burdens of our high civilbmtion. And they therefore could not work tinder the conditions surrounding - rounding the servile labor. 'fhc - out. great contest was fought Our Southern friends wanted to . . sell their products , cotton and tobacco of great value and little bulk , to foreign countries in exchange - change for the productions of heap labor there , shipping- their goods across thc water by cheap freight t6 thc old world , Therefore - fore they did not want protection and , as I said before , wrote in \ their Confederate Constitution ' its a distant prohibition against enactment at any time. 'Ve loug'ht it out. They said then - that protection was robbery , and the platform recently adopted f r I and dominated by the Southern ( I , Democrats , says the same thing. Now how do you , democratic friend , expect to elect Parker ? i Vhy , the first thing you wilt say is i . " 'I'I1C'rc an 151 votes in thc I electoral i ' l college - from thc South . I thc solid South , and that docs I , not include either West Virginia , I Maryland or Delaware , " Yes , and that is so ; and further , that 151 votes represent two-fifths of , the entire five-lifths , or total electoral \'otc. Now all the 'Parker mcn want is another half .of Qne-fifth , and one vote added , and they have a majority. There is no doubt about thc 151 votes. Would any of us think of going down South to make political I speeches ? As welt try to drown I a luck by pouring water on him. Those States arc solid , though their orators arc coming up here , 1'illman , Senator Bailey and my ; good friend John Sharpe \Vi11iams of Mississippi , and others , to instruct - struct us emi economic questions. " " Vie have the freest discussion here , and we w elcomc them , because - cause if they have , a better policy than we have to stand upon , we will follow . . Now should Parker be fortu- nate enough to secure enough electoral votes from the , North to elect him , what portIon of the Democratic Party would control ' it ? Would any of thc States in the North have cicnt-repre- " .entation to do it ? Why no , of course not. The 151 votes , the large majority of that part , t f " t would dominate everything and all1cgisla tion' Every law would bc cut out by thc South and every enactment subject to its temper and its vicwpoint. Under John Sharpe Williams , thc present leader of the Democrats in the House of Representatives , : and who would bc the Speaker if thc Delmiocracy secured Congress , every imporant committee of that body would have a Southern representation sufficient to con- trol it. So let us see what a blow that would bc. Seven millions of people in the United States have deposits in saving banks , and the aggregate of savings slmomnts , to three thousand millions of dollars , that is , three billions ; and thc average interest received thereon is three and onc-quartcr per ccnt. How much of that money is in banks in those States from which thc 151 votes would come ? Three and a quarter millions only , as against three thousand millions , or a very insignificant perccntage. Now another thing. There arc five millions of assets in build- ing associatians in this country. Building associations-that is . the way 'you get your homes , and I suppose you have them here. You pay ' so much per month in most cans , subscribing for thc stock , and continuous employ- mcnt and remunerative salary is essential to the success of" thc proposition. Yet only one-sixth of all thc building associations of this nation arc in thc States from which thc 151 votes and thc dominating- majority , will come to elect Parker , I Another thing. Since McKin- took oath office life insurance Icy , . of. . , - " surance in tIllS country has ublcd. There ' arc twcnb'-threc million policies held in life insurance - surance companies , and they have an aggregate of seventeen thousand millions nf " doll trs _ . . _ _ . _ _ . . . . . . . . . . . . . " u . . . . . That is for the widow and child- rcn when death overtakes us. Less than onc-quarter of that life insurance i is held in hc States from which these 151 rul- ing votes of Democracy would comc. lain talking business , and if the ' : " Northern States are to help bring about a condition of this kind , they should have their eyes opcn. Dare you , farmers ; dare you laborers and workers , dare you , artisans , give Ivlr. Parker the power hc seeks ? Let them bring fruits meet for repentance before the'Y get power a second. time. There is a condition here in Nebraska that is very interesting and very remarkablc. The state of Nebraska is known as an agri- cultural state. Well it is an agricultural - ricultural state and a very good one too , but if you consult the last census " report you will find this fact , that the value of your agriculture product in 1900 wa lfi3OOOOOO and at the same time thc value of your manufactured product was $144,000,000 or al- most as much ; so you can bc clas- sed as a manfacturing state as well as an agriculture state. Now in conclusion , for I have already talked too long , we pre- sent Theodore Roosevelt .as our 4 - - j-- 1 ' . 1 . 27.50 .

Meyer - - - . - - . - . . - . . - - - - - candidate : for Presidency.'WC do it with great confidence , wc be- lieve in him , we stand by his every act. You know him , yon know his record , you believe il : him too. Ours is a government through great parties , and it is absolutely essential , if. you bc- ] tie\'c in the policies of thc republican - lican party , that thc president who is clothed only with execu- th'c power , should have congress with him and behind him. You have a congressional dis- trict here with about 200,000 peo- pIc in it. You will elect your reprcscntative thc 8th of November - vcmber , and it is a part of my mission to you to ask you in this district , to see . to it , if you ap- prove these politics and want continued , that your vote is cast in thc hcusc of representatives as you would cast it if were person- ally present. I want to say one thing further , that thc state of Nebraska has , in the house of representatives , as strong a dcle- as , and stronger than most of them. Time dean of that delega- tion and the head of it with res- pcct to service , is your repress tath'e , Elmer J. Burkett. He has a committee position that is second to none in the house and as to his ability and integrity you know. The good state of Nebraska - braska is honoring itself when it honors Mr. Burkett , and I sincer- ely hope hc will bc returned to that great body in which he is so much at home and where hc has so many fricnds. . Cannon here introduced lIon. James \\Tatson-who for thirty minutes entertained thc audience with thc rapid fire as- sault on the democratic party and its position , Mr. Watson is an excellent speaker and delighted thc audience with his telling poin ts. NOTES. The Speaker's party left for Red Cloud and Oxford over thc Burlington at two o'clock Satur- day morning. Gov. John H.

Morrow , M. raylor and many others. - Speaker Cannon is like a father - . er to his boys , the congressmcn. He fussed about Burliett and Watson their sore throats an d their general health like an' old lady with her grandchild. In the etiquette of official tife. The . . ; L- speaker of thc house of representatives - s-cntativcs is always address as - "Mr. Speaker. " -B.urkett and Watson called him "Uncle Joe"- and he called them "Elmcr and Jim. " A.
