I submit I farls that I am : not - from these , prose cuted for having violated any federal law " , but purely because of my political opinions and my ; work ; : : in behalf of the working class cf this nation. I This prosecution is not unexpected to us. As plainly stated by the on rn- ment oflicial to whom our attorney ; talked while in Washington , it is evi dent that secret service agents of the I government have becIl _ camping on tho I trail of the Appeal for , lo. these many : . years. Is it not pretty : \ ' conclusive ! evidence " observed ' Hie that we have religiously ( laws ar.d . regulations governing the conduct of a newspaper when after ten p :1rs' of effort the government is : able to find only this lone and ; paltry alleged violation ? . . . Personally I feel proud of this ' rec ord. ' J feel nd sense of J guilt.Nnor will the world approve this conviction when the truth prevails and the facts are known. - I Submitted Copy to Postmaster. The government's witnesses testified I here on the stand that I submitted to them copy of the matter I expected to mail and asked : whether in the post- master's judgment it constituted a vio lation .Qf the federal law. That official after looking the matter up said it did not. anil I want to sny here that dur- ing the ten years of my connection with the Appeal to . Reason I have had : frequent occasion to consult with the t postmaster at Oirar-i on matter re lating to the postal laws and in no in- stance was his judgment e'er"at fault. He assured me that ia his judgment the matter I proposed mailing was identical in character * with the thou sands of postal cards : Ipailed at his of- fice by the sheriff tIre 'marsh , and the officers of the t Anti Horse Thief as sociation. j / \ In submitting to this court these postal 'cards mailed by bankers : it i is i not my intention that the government ! should proceed agcinst those men on the evidence furnished by me. I know these gentlemen } are immune i from prosecution because tho.y represent the .dominant class in society today. The rewards which they offer are for men who ' have committed crimes against property and in the prevailing social system the property } of the rk-h is of : vasU ! : . , mere ( ' ronsequonqo than , the life I and liberty ; of the i * : ! ( ' rr ' - * . " . ' Is Criticism a Crime ? ' ' .L' On the oilier hand. , . the editor who II "has espoused Hie t c cause of the wage slave today has in the eyes of the rul- ' ' I ing class committed a crime against existing"institutions for daring to of fer a : : r ( . ward for the : apprehension of an" influential member of the dominant I political party. : I I have also dared to criticise a deci sion of the , highest judicial tribunal the United States : : Judge ; Yv"esttlthe as sistant district attorney who assisted Ju my prosecution in his , argument a y6ar : ago- - last November after present- Ing his rcttonwhy Hie demurrer in !

' And is it for this I 'am being prose - cuted ? Our Colonist Forefathers. Smarting under the vicious attemp of the English king to prevent the cir culation of Revolutionary newspapers iuring the period preceding the sign i ing of the Declaration of Independ ence . the first amendment to the ncv\ constitution was made to provide foi a free press and free speech : always and everywhere recogiiized\as the sus talning pillars of free institutions. Our colonist forefathers , imbuoc with , the high ideals embodied in their Immortal Declaration , shouldered their guns and shot to death the divine ' ' 'right of kings , and than the cunning enemies of democracy raised in its stead the supreme court , with its many federal arms reaching out into all the states of ths Union. The supreme court has become in fact the reigning monarch of th < American people. No measure of re lief demanded by the voters-of tub nation enacted into law by their elect , ed representatives and signed by th president maj become operative with out its judicial sanction. At the com - mand of the lords of privilege any ob noxious law is promptly declared un constitutional. } . . The supreme court of tho Unitec States has today more real p ower over the people than is vested in' any mon- arch of the old world. * - The late Senator Hanna boasted thai the courts are maintained to buttress property ' rights. Ex-President Roose velt denounced a federal judge for his interpretation of the law in the gov ernment's prosecution of the beel trust. President Taft in his Hot Springs ( Va. ) speech expressed a decided opift- ion upon the siyne question in referring to the inability of the poor to cope in the courts with men of wealth. With ex- ¶ ressions like these from me.n of prom inence , do you wonder that there is a growing distrust on the part "of the poor .people of this-nation that the courts are against them ? The Courts Ruled / by Property. In the western district of New York of thirty cases decided in favor of in- jured employees twenty-eight were re- versed in favor of the master class by the higher courts. United sFates Dis- trict Attorney Sims of Chicago was waging : a vigorous fight against the white slave drivers , and when victory was almost within his grasp his hand was paralyzed by a decision of the supreme court , which virtually put an end to the prosecution of that unspeak able infamy. There are property in terests involved in the wholesale de bauchery of young girls , and these property interests must be safeguard ed at whatever cost. As for the girls , they are the daughters of the working ' value ai'e.not to class and in pblut of . . fc'e ( cDiapurefl td !

J Convicted by Jury of Republicans. I WAS convicted by a jury composed of partisan Republicans. It was shown by competent evidence introduced in this court today that two of the jurors had expressed hostile and prejudicial sentiments against me. Affidavits herewith filed show that one of the jurors , : \11. . Nelson , became deathly sick in the jury room. and he affirms that it was because of this sickness and his fear of death unless medical attention could be secured that he was forced into voting for a conviction ; Again it is shown by competent evi dence introduced at this hearing that the principal witness for the govern ment ex-Governor Taylor made state. ments which were untrue. He stated that at the time the reward which I offered was circulated through the mails he was not a fugitive from jus- tice nor was there t any charge pending against him of a criminal nature in Kentucky. Affidavits , state . records and letters signed by Taylor himself all on file in this court show that Tay : lor had . been indicted and that for seven years prior to the t offer of our reward he had been a fugitive from justice with a price on his head. It is the common practice in all courts that 'where the defendant can show that a juror in qualifying perjures himself a new trial is granted. Perjured testi mony on the part of the prosecuting witness is also ground for a new trial in ordinary cases. Of course I under stand that this is not an ordinary case. The whole history of these pro ceedings shows conclusively that it Is not an attempt to secure the ends of I . justice , but an effort to punish me be cause of my political views. No Mercy or Leniency Asked. In conclusion permit me to say that I am not asking the mercy or leniency of this court. I have committed no crime and there is festering in my con- science no accusation of guilt but if my conviction and punishment will serve to rivet public attention upon the abuses which I have tried to point out hen I shall feel that I have not suffered this humiliation in vain. After nil , this is the price of human ' progress. Why should I 'expect im munity ? The courts have ever been and are today the bulwarks : of the rul- ing class. Why should they not pun- ish offenders against that class ? In feudal slavery the courts sus- tained the feudal lords , in chattel slav- ery they protected the slave owners , and in wage slavery they defend the industrial masters.x : ! : a Whoever protests for the sake of jus- tice or in the name of the future is an enemy of soclety , and is . persecuted * . or put to death. III one of the most eloquent charac terizations of history Charles Sumner. . I 1 tracing the march of the centuries , pointed out that ; } the most infamous crJmfcs a ; ' it5t thfe liberty autl pr&gress ' , tff tlio human race : had tfeen sanctioned by the so called courts of justice. / ( Truth Will Triumph ? ! .
