Senator Dolllrer.
II. H. Ilaldrlge gracefully accomplished
his taBk of presenting (lovornor Roosevelt
to his llrst Omaha audience and his praise
of tho candldato fell upon sympathetic ears.
Konunato is tho party which calls to its
leadership 1(8 highest and best typo of man
hood," said Mr. Ilaldrlge, "that typo which
fitauds for eomatblng nud menus bomethlng.
Tho life of such a leader forms a platform
btronger than any written declaration. Wo
havo with us ns an honored guest one who
needs no party to voice IiIh creed or to
give form lu his principles. . He stands for
ull that is best and highest in American
polltlcB ami statecraft. High and clean
wero his motives when bo rescued Now
York from all that was foul In Its pollco
department. As assistant secretary of (he
navy ho devoted to his duties bis best and
most disinterested energies.
"If his culture, his attainments In letters,
hlR urbanity nro of tho east, his boldness,
dash and heroism uro of tho west, and we
aro proud of It. As ho led his cheering
Rough Riders up San Juan hill, bo does
ho now show the way to those who follow.
Lot ua follow his boom and it will lead on
onco more to victory. I havo tho honor to
present to you tho governor of New York

Oovornor Roosevelt roso and tho aUdlenco
followed his example. Tho candldato stood
patiently acknowledging tho demonstration
and was finally ou the point of beginning
his remarks when n now discord was heard.
Twenty Harvard men, with waving banners,
gave their college yell wllb tho vigor of
foot ball days, and Theodore Roosevelt, 11.
A , class of 18S0, smiled in appreciation.
When ho could finally- make himself heard
tho governor spoke ns follows:
"Mr. Chalrmnn, nnd You Men and Women
of Nebraska, My Follow Americans: I ap
peal to you le-s us republicans than as
citizens of this great country, for I feel
that in this year we have tho Bamo right
to appeal to all men without regard to (holr
pollllcal past as was had in 18G4, thirty-six
years ago. Then, as now, tho issues nt stako
wero so great that they transcended all
questions of mero party afiiliatlon.
"I havo to ask you (o look at Just two
Bides of these Issues, tho material side, and
what Is oven greater than the material eldo,
tho moral side, tho side of tho greatness
and honor of tho nation. Now for a moniont
on tho material Bide. It is it Rule bit
difficult to know what Issuo to discuss, be
cause our opponents change the paramount
Issuo so often. (Laughter.) Hut 1 am
perfoctly willing to meet them on any Issue
If they will only stay long enough on it.
(Laughter.) What need Is there for me to
discuss tho economical and tlnauclal ques
tion's when they don't duro to discuss them

"Take tho question of free silver. If any
of you aro fortunate enough 10 know whether
Mr Uryan, If elected, will pay tho obliga

wish ho would divulge his knowledge, for
Mr. Ilryan will not. (Laughter.) There Ib
no doubt bow wo stand. Wo stand on the
gold standard, and wo stand on It on tho
Atlantic seaboard and In the Rocky moun
tains, nnywhero. (Applause.) Wo are for
tunato In having Issues which don't wear

and laughter.)

Issue Is dead when you cannot tell whether
the creditor, tho pensioner, whoever he
may be, is to get IS cento or to get n dollar.
Il is dead to this extent, that nobody ven
tured to argue on its behalf. It Is dead
to that extent. Hut If they pay tho debts
In IS-ccnt dollars wo care mighty little
as to the precise argument by which they
teach the conclusion that warrants that
conduct. (Applause.)
.Stunt tit llryan'.i Propliet'lf",
"All I wnnt you to do from the material
standpoint Is to exhume Mr. Bryan's pro
phecies of four years ago nnd then compnro
these prophecies with their signal non-fulfillment.
The spirit moved Mr. Uryuu and
he prophesied that unless you had free silver
the wnge worker would stand Idle In the
market place. That was the prophecy. Thu
fulfillment was that the wage worker has
hail moro than double ns much work as be
fore. That was the way It came out.
"And ho prophesied again that If we
elected McKlnlcy tho farmer would find the
products of his farm diminish In value, and
In your own stulo of Nebraska they havo
increased from 1G to tiO per cont in the
different products.
"And Mr. Ilryan prophesied again. The
savings banks attracted his attention, and
ho sntd that if wo did not havo free silver
tho deposits of the savings banks would
dlmlntHh, and In Nebraska they have in
creased 25 per cent.
"And he said that the amount of money
per capita in circulation wguld diminish and
it has Increased from $20 to $25.
"So far as Mr. Dryan said that things
would go down, ho failed In his prophecy
Ho said that, mortgages would go up and
thnt is tho only thing that went down
(Laughter.) Tho mortgages of this state
havo diminished In amount by nearly 40
per cent.
.Mutter of Fusion.
"When theso things were pointed out to
Mr. Ilryan the other day and It was pointed
out that wo wero prosperous he answered
that It was not tho republican party, but
providence. Now, I am perfoctly willing
to niiuut that there has been a Mslon be
tween providence and tho republican party.
(Laughter.) Tho democratic party has
lUBcti with everything else, tut somehow
it nas never managed to connect with
providence. (Laughter.)
"I dou't wonder that In tha hard times,
wnen tilings wero looking pretty bluck
men turned to strange gods. It has al
wnys been so mtlnco the day that Moses
hroko tho decalogue. I don't wonder that
wnen a man feels sick and doesn't know
what Is tho matter with him and cannot
linn out that ho should try attack modi
clncs, but if ho tries it again I question
nis intelligence. (Laughter.) If the neo
plo of this country want to go back into
tho slough of despond out of which we
havo so painfully emerged, If they want to
do that, why, undor tho constitution, It la
their Inallenablo right to do It. (Laugh
ter.) It Is of no avail to havo good intca
lions If you havo not common Benso to put
them Into effect not talk about them, but
do thero.
Until I tic. .Vrctlrtl In .ittlnii.
"You know it Ib said in holy writ that
tho Lord commanded His people to do
righteousness. Not to talk rlghtojusuess
to do it. That is what we want to see in
our peoplo. Fundamentally, exactly tho
same qualities aro needed In a people, In
a nation, as In an Individual. In tho (Irst
place, honesty. Nothing takes tho place
of that. One of tho least ndmirablo quali
ties in any people Is the deification of
mero smartness unaccompanied by a sonso
of moral responsibility. Honesty first.
Honesty In tho payment of obligations.
Hunesty all through, for tho uation nnd
for tho man. And honesty is not nnni.h
Tho timidly honest man Is of but littio
ultimate benefit nnywhoro ami lonst of all
In a community like ours. With honesty
haB got to go courage. Courage in tho man
to faco difficulties and courage in thn na
tion. Honesty and courage. Honesty In
tho currency and courage in staying to do
our duty in tho Philippines. (Applause.)
And courage and honesty are not enough
by tlit.mhflvcs. I do not caro how brave
n man Is nnd how honest, If ho Is a natural
born fool you cannot do anything with
him. (Laughter.) You save got to add
the saving graco of common sense. Com
mon sense, courage, honesty thoB nro
tho qualities needed In any nation nnd no
nation ran succeed without them any
moro than tho prlvato Individual can with
out them meet success that Is really worth
achieving.
"I was struck by ono of tho inscrln-
tlons upon a transparency card In tho Ocr-man-Amcrlcan
Republican association as
r marched through In tho parade, 'that
labor nnd not legislation brings success.'
Now that ought to bo put In this way,
that tho best of legislation cannot bring
success save to thoao who labor, but that
bad legislation can mako It absolutely Im
possible for tho ablest labor tT produce
any result. (Applause.)
Hevtiire of Quuekery.
"It Is a safe rule to distrust any public
man with a patent reclpo for bringing
tho millennium. (Laughter.) Wo have boon
a good many thousand years struggling
up to where wo nro and we aro not going
to advanco tho remalndor of tho distance
toward tho millennium In ono Jump. There
will bo n good deal of walking beforo wo
get there. We can tako strides lu ad
vance, but wo can do It only by facing
conditions as they actually are.
"Now the chief factors in tho success of
any man will remain now aud In tho fu
ture as they have always been In the past;,
tho man's Individuality, energy, honesty,
business thrift and resolute endeavor.
Nothing can tako Uio place of theso quali
ties. Any man may stumblo, any man
may meet with a misfortune and then It
is tho duty of his neighbor to stretch out
his hand toward hlrn and help to put him
on his foot. And woo to tho man who re
fuses to do that duty to a neighbor. You
can help put him on his feet, hut If he
lies down you need not carry him. (Applause
nnd laughter,) He has got to do his share.
You cannot by legislation make a man
t-"
prosperous. What you can do by legisln
tlon and administration Is so to shape the
conditions of life, ho to shape the policy,
of our government that the average man
shall do his work under conditions that
give him the best possible opportunity to
win success for himself. (Applause.)
That is not is pleasant a promise to listen
(o as the promise of n millennium, but It
has this advantage over It, that It Is a
promise that can bo kept nnd the other
Is not. (Applause.)
'It Is n good thing to remember thnt In
tho long run the most unfortunate truth Is
a safer .companion than the plonsantcst
falsehood.
"That Is what ran bo done by legislation
and that Is whut has been done, nnd I 'think
It typified the parts that make our fellow
citizens of German origin such valunblo
members of a community that they should
havo put upon the transparency tho truth
that man must rely on labor nnd not nlono
on legislation If he wants to get nhend In
the world.
''I'd r n in u it ti 4 iKMir" of Trillin.
Tho last paramount lsW that seems to
have been developed on the other side Is the
Issuo of (he trusts. I urn only going to ttsk
your attention for ono moment to that, lly
trusts, of course, Is now meant tho great
aggregations of corporuto wealth which, al
though not technically trusts, nro such ns
wo commonly understand the word In speak
ing ono (o nuothcr. H is Idlo (o say that
all these ureal torpoiatlons do evil. If
you hntl your will now, uud understood tho
circumstances, you would never go back to
somo of tho conditions lhat preceded thu
present sta(o of consolidation. Take, for
Instance, tho great railway lines. In my
own state of New York nt one time In order
to go from Now York to Buffalo you had to
chnngo cars flvo times; get on five different
lines. It wns four times as Inferior and
thrco times as costly to travel or to ship
freight then ns now. There a positive bene
fit ctuilo from tho consolidation. Tho whole
development of highly specialized, highly
complex modern Industrial civilization has
tended to produco theso great uggregailons
of corporate wealth. "Theio has been good;
there has nlso been evil. Tho man who de
nies the evil Is Just as foolish as the name
flamboyant person who thinks tha( It Is all
evil. There have been evils; thero arc now
evils. They havo got to be cut out. They are
going to bo cut out. (Applause.) Not by
oratory, but by common sense nnd resolu
tion. And one of tho llrst things to do is
to make up your minds that you want lu
getting rhl of tho enncer to avoid killing
tho patient. (Applause nnd Inughter.)
ClttlMt Ik 1 1 ' 1 1 tl tlmicUr r .
"Tho very fact that the problem Is com
plex means that thcro will probably prove
no one patent remedy to cure It. At pres
ent It I.ob been left largely to the differ
ent states. Under the decision of tho Bil
premo court nnd In accordance with tho
obvious purposo of tho constitution tho
states havo control of tho corporations.
I am going to give tho nattonnl side of it
lu a moment. I am not familiar with tho
constitution hero in your state. I am fa
miliar with it In my own. Two years ago
I ran for governor of New York. Against
me ran ex-Judgo Van Wyck. Ho was the
nominal mnu that ran. (Laughter.) Tho
real master and leader of tho democracy
of New York, a party lu which Imperial
Ism has reached an extreme development
(laughter) was (he Hon. Rlfhard Crokor.
Mr. Van Wyck and Mr. Croker were ex
treme In their denunciation of trusts, of
corporations. They wont much further
than I wns willing to go hecuuse 1 was
hampered by the fact lhat I Intended my
deeds to square with my words. (Pro
longed applause.) Well, I got elected.
On looking Into tho matter tho greatest
evil In New York nt that tlmo In connec
tion with corporate wealth was the fart
that tho corporations which wero wealth
iest nnd which gobbled up tho franchlss
that gave them all, or practically all their
wealth, made no adequate return to the
publlr the Btreet railway companies nnd
other corporations using tho streets. We
took hold of thnt problem in no vindictive,
in no demagogic spirit. Wo took hold of
It In tho only spirit In which It Is safe
to deal either with the corporation or a
prlvato Individual, either with tho rich
man or the poor man the spirit of doing
justice and with exacting Justlco In return.
Wo, put on tho otatuto book n law. which
will doubtless need home modification as
experience may dictate, but which In Its
essence has given to the state u law
called the francntflo tax law, under which
wo put upon the assessment roll nearly
$200,000,000 of property which had hitherto
Improperly escaped taxation. That docs
not mean that we havo solved all tho
problems In connection with corporations!,
but It means we have taken a longer strldo
toward the solution than, bo far as I am
aware, has yet been taken In nny state,
llotixr" it ml the i'ruxtx.
Thnt- was done while we had control.
At that very tlmo Mr. Van Wyck, in
speeches, and Mr. Croker, In Intervlowr,,
becnuso Bpeechmaklng Is uot his strong
point (laughter), had been denouncing
truotB In languago too extreme for me to
be willing to use It. And nt the very time
that they wero thus denouncing that they
wero In process of becoming the two
lnrgcst stockholders In the most Iniquitous
trust In tho United States tho Ico trust.
(Applause.) That is, they added to tho
public denunciation of trusts private own
ership In them. (Laughter.)
"I spoko to you a little while back of
tho first quality needed In a nation, in u
nation's public men-honesty and-uso that
lu Its broadest scuso. And you can get
no solution of such a problem as tho trust
problem from men who do not appreclato
that honesty demands thnt word and died
shall square with ono another.
"Let mo point out Just for n moment
tho national attitude of tho two partios
on the trust question. At prescut tho
stntts alono havo tho power to deal with
thorn. Tho states cannot deal with them,
somo of them, effectively; tho nation must
Join. It can only join by a constitutional
amendment. Such an amendment wassln
troduced Into tho last house about ,Juuo 1
of this year. It recolved a vote from all
republicans but two and against It was
cast tho vote of every democrat save six
of tho members of tho houso and as It
needed n two-thirds voto It failed of pas
sage and tho democratic leader, Mr. RUh
nrdson, In opposing tho passage, of the
amendment, quoted with approval from n
democratic pnper, saying that tho demo
crats could not afford to pass that con
stitutional amendment, because If they did
bo it would tako the trust Issuo out of
the coming campaign. (Applauso.)
"You don't have to tako my word for
that. It Is In tho Congressional Record
tho votes nnd tho speechos. I think It Is
June 4. Your congressman can glvo you
the copy of tho Congressional Rooord.
Deeds, not words, aro what count. I
have told you when you know tho deeds
you do not have to pay much attention to
tho words. So much for the material side
of tho questions at Issue.
Creut TliliiK mid (ircntcr
"One moment upon what is greater than
tho material side. It is a great thing to
belong to a prosperous country; a coun
try rich In mine and factory: in farm and
ranch and railroad. It Is a greater thing
to belong In a country that has for Its
background tho memory of grent deeds
valiantly done. Hut woo to a country
when a generation arises contenl to rest
on the memory of what Its forefathers
havo done nnd shrinking Itself from doing
tho rough work of tho world. (ApplauB.)
"Again, It Is with tho nation as with tho
Individual, The man who counts In tho
community is not tho man of mere refine
ment, who wishes so to live as to experience
only the soft side of life. It Is the man
who g
goes out Into the world to struggle, to
stumble, to get tip again nnd go on and try
and bo beaten nnd trj ngtiln and overcome
n thousand difficulties and gloriously muke
his way to ultimate tntit'iph. (Applause.)
So it is with the nation. Head through
history, read It through and then brand as
a lie tho foolish statement that cays 'Happy
is the nation that has no history." Thrice
happy is the nation that has a great ami
glorious hlBtory, a history of glorious
achievements. Look back not merely nt our
own nation, but nt nil the nations. Think
of storied Marathon and Thermopylae.
Think of the Roman people as they re
covered, after Hannibal's victory, Cannne.
Think of the peoples of Kurope stumbling
upward through the dnrk ages, doing much
work In a wrong way, somo times falling
back, hut going forwnrd again, for
ward, forward, forward, until our great
civilization, as wo know it now, wns de
veloped nt last. Out of tho struggles, the
evils nnd the victories of millions of men
who daretl to do the world's work. Think
of what the little nations of tho world have
done. Think ot what Switzerland has done.
Switzerland could have had pcaco under the
houso of Hnpaburg. If Switzerland had been
content to see its sous n race of serfs, ot
well-tu-do serfs, but serfs. Hut Switzer
land struggled, Switzerland fought, Switzer
land went out to faco Its mighty neighbors,
and so to this tiny when wo speak of
Switzerland thero goes beforo our mind a
vision of dauntless cottrago and Independ
ence, a people holding Its own, holding what
It deems most sacred for Its own.
"Tako tho people from which ttty own
ancestors sprung Holland. If Holland had
chosen merely to follow tho path of ma
terial prosperity there would have been no
revolt of tho Dutch ugnlnst the might of
Phillip II of Spain. Do you think that It
was for tho material benefit ot tho burghers
who stood with their wives and children be
hiud tho walls of Holland, fighting with
the Spanish soldiery round about. For bov
cnty years thoy fought. For seventy years
they suffered and wrought gtcst deeds, and
In consequence that llttlo peoplo settled ou
the lowlands they have won from tho North
sen, they won for themselves un undying
nam i! in tho history ot mankind.
Country of (ilorloun .MeniiiiicB,
"Oh, my fellow b, wo belong to a repub
lic infinitely greater than tho republics
of Switzerland or Holland. It will bo .in
ovll day for mankind If this republic
shrinks back and fears to tuko Its share
In tho world work of tho great world
powers. There aro here tonight veterans
of the civil war, men who wear tho but
ton that shows that In tho time that tried
men's souls they were truo to their public
duty. Let me ask any mnu who fought
In tho civil war if ho recollects certain
Incidents of tho ycar3 '61 and '(54. Do
you remember when you were called 'Lin
coln's hirelings?' (Voices from tho audi
ence, "Yes, yes.") You have hoard moro
recently of soldiers being called hirelings.
A million men in blue were then known
as 'Lincoln's hirelings.' Do you remember
tho people who cried 'peace, peace,' when
ther,e wns no peace? Do you remember
the peoplo who said that the most righteous
of wars was worse than the most un
righteous peace; lhat tho bloodshed that
was split would more than offset nny gain
they could get from It? You remember
that? Do you romembor when the people
who stayed nt home In tho north and re
fused to hold up your bunds offered aid
and comfort by their actions to tho enemy
and thu flng? Do you remember that?
(Voices. "Yes, yes.") It sounds comic
now. Not moro comic than twenty years
hence some of the war cries of our political
opponents will Bound. Do you remember
when your political opponents of that day
Biild that Abraham Lincoln sad, patient.
mighty Lincolnus ho struggled aud suf
fered for the people, w:m striving to malto
himself an 'emperor? (Voices: "Yes.")
That Is what they said. (Applaii.se.) Thoy
said ho was trying to build up un um

thousands like you, this nation met nmld
tho wrcckn of Its liberties and the ruin of

"If our. fathers had flinched, how would

from that day to this would havo been a
history of mean wrangling wars betwec-n

Wo hold our heads high as citizens of

They knew what It was to faro scantily

D0LLIVER SPEAKS AT TENT
Iowii'n Junior Senator DImcuioi'm
hiicn of (he (.'it in pit iun in an
lllotuent Hirech.
At the closo of Governor Roosevelt's
Hpcech ho hurriedly descended from the
platform amid rounds of applause and made
his way to his carriago to visit other halls,
Chairman Baldrlgo, as soon as quiet had
been restored, Introduced Senator Dolllvor
ot Iowa, referring to htm as ono of the
Btandurd-bearers of tho republican party,
who, by his faithful nnd Intelligent work in
congress, had won laurels for himself and
famo for his state. Mr. Dolllvor said In
part;
"Ladles and Gentlemen: it Is a very
greut pleasure to have tho opportunity of
making a speech under this big tent and
In the midst of this demonstration of pa
triotic enthusiasm, but I am a llttlo sorry
that my friend, the chairman, Introduced
mo ob l.e did, for I am ufruld he has done
me more harm than good. The fact Is that
whatever capacity I may once havo had
for making a upeoch, six weeks on the
stump, five hours a day, has left me be
reft of lungs nnd nil other vital organs,
traveling on an Inherited constitution.
(Laughter.)
"Nevertheless, If you will do me the
honor to listen to mo I propose to sny a
few things without pretending to bo either
a hero, as my friend has proclaimed me,
or an orator, as he seems bent on having
you bellovo mo, The ouly claim I have ever
made In that Hue U that I always try to
tell the truth, but I am not making much
ot u boast about that, for with truth lying
around nn thick ns- It Is this year there
would be absolutely no excttsr for a man
lying. (Luughier and applause.)
'It Is ii plrustirr to me to find on thu
platform, under his own Vine and fig
tree, Dave Mercer of Nebraska. I hitvt'
served with him, fought with him and won
the victories of our republican house of
representatives with htm for nearly ten
years and tho only fault anybody has cvr
found with him is (ha( tho treasury of the
I tilted blu(c is not safe when the Inter
ests of Nebraska and the city of Omaha
are nt stake. tLoud and prolonged ap
plause.) And so before I start out to say
n word for McKlnlcy 1 want to say n word
for Dave Mercer, becauso we need him in
tho house of representatives, we need him
with us In the hulls ot cougress nnd more
than that wo need him to clinch nnd make
snro of tho victory of William McKlnlcy,
for what earthly good would It do to re
olcct William McKlnlcy and then par
alyzo his policies by a shiftless and weukly
house of representatives?
.More UtiNlitrNN I, run Politic.
"I am a great believer In politics my
self, although I sometimes think that wo
hnvo a llttlo too much political contention
In this country and I have nmdo up my
mind that tho sooner wo get rid of that
und get down to n business basis In our
politics thn better for nil of us.
"Now, I listened with a good deal of In
terest to Governor Roosevelt's cruel rrf
rruncos to my young friend, Bryan, lu his
capacity of prophet gt large for populism
in the united Slates. I uon t want to say
nn unkind word about Bryan. I have
known him Intimately for many years. I
whs In tho house of repre.se: .tatlvrs when
he got thero and I remained lifter he de
parted (laughter and applause) and 1 don't
propose to be caught Buying an unkind
word, not oven In dlspnragement of his
youth, becauso you know and I know tint
ho will bo old enough beforo ho Is elected
president of his country. (Loud laughter
und applause nnd cries of "you're flight.")
"But what does u common, ordinary
man llko Governor Roosevelt mean by rub
bing It on a prophet like Bryan? Doesn't
Governor Roosevelt know that the proph
ecy business Is the most precarious busi
ness that anybody over entered Into tn
Ills life. Thero never was but one set
of prophets In this world worth a rent
and those wore tho old Hebrew prophets
and thoy won out becauso they dealt with
centuries aud millenniums anil they left
half of the world believing that their pre
dictions had come trUe and the rest of us
are still looking for their fulfillment.
Ilrynti'H Defect it n Prophet.
"Tho great trouble with Bryan was that
ho gave his prophecies too Bhort a reach
Instead ot telling us what was going to
happen In the next century, which ho might
have done, because It was near nt hand
und he could havo got his work In before
the thing rame around, lie undertook to
tell us what waa going to happen next
year und tho result was that New Year's
day played sad havoc with the prophetic
literature, of the last campaign, nnd uow
he has left that capacity. I havo traveled
now thousands of miles anil talked to mul
tiplied thousands of people, nntl 1 make
this statement on my faith as u citizen:
I don't bcllevo there Is n living mnn that
would give 10 cents for Mr. Bryan's
opinion ou nny practical question of Amer
ican business. (Loud applause.) If old
Noah, tho patriarch, had predicted a drouth
instead of a flood and had advocated u
system of Irrigation Instead of building
an nrk, he would not moro thoroughly
havo disappointed his relatives than Ii,ib
Mr. Bryan fllm-tlammed his supporters all
over the country. (Applause.) The result
is thnt they had to huvo n now paramount
issue nud for no other reason on earth
than that tho other Issues had become no
longer mentlonablo In tho ears of people
who had anything else to do.
M'ngM Higher 'limn Kver Before.
"I remember ono thing that Mr. Bryan
dwelt upon. He said that If tho gold
standard was established In the United
StateB labor would find Itself altogether
without wages and without employment
Yet Mr. Carroll D. Wright uald tho other
day, and he Is tho greatest living labor
statistician, that tho present level of
American wages Is higher than ever before
known lu the history of our Industrial life
Why, ovorybody knows that thn employ
ments of labor, instead of being diminished,
have been multiplied In a thousand tllret
Hons, bo that I may safely challcngo this
audlenco to name one able-bodied mnu In
tho city of Omaha who is today without
anything for his hands to do." (Long und
loud applause.)
A voice In tho audience: 'How ubout tho
miners In Pennsylvania?" ,
Mr. Dolllver Exactly. How about th
ntrlkt'B? I will tell you about the Btrlkes
Strikes occur In republican times. (Ap
plauso nnd crlrs of "good, good.") In
democratic limes if a strike occurs It is ,
to prevent a reduction of wages; In re i
publlcnu times strikes nre made to get I
another Increase. (Applause.) Go bad,
over tho Industrial history of these times j
and verify whtft I Bay that In republican '
times the- problem of American labor Is 1
to get moro. In democratic times tho
problom which Amerlran labor has to wolvo
is how to hold on tho miserable remnant
of what It has left. There novcr wan u
strlko that you didn't find tho political
leaders ot the demorratlo party on hand
promptly, with an exprrsslon of their sym
pathy, and that Is tho only thing that
American labor has ever got out of tho
democratic party so far U3 tho history of '
tho country goes. They nro always 'on I
hand with on expression of sympathy. I
They have a Croton reservoir of sympathy
with delivery pipes out In the direction
of every human misery. They always keep
It full enough for all.
Problem of (i vlliiittlon.
"American labor today Btrlkes for higher
wages and my sympathies nro with tho la
boring people of tho United States. I hold
that tho wholo problem of civilization Is to
talse tho level of tho world. I hold thnt
tho wholo problem of American society U
to lift up und increase the comfort of tho
cottnges whero dwell tho wives and Child
ren of American labor. (Long and loud ap
