You are met in this hall tonight for the self samo reason thut our forefathers trathered. so many years aao. an indignant people protesting against the brutal tyrannies of an English Government. You are hero for the self same reason that John Hrown, that splendid champion of the causo of free dom, called his bravo little band of followers to meet dcuth that day upon the plain, that the black slnvo m u hi bo J reed lrom Pond age. In short you aro colled here for tho somo renson nnd motive that throughout tho ages have actuated men to give up the luxuries of pence and domes tic pleasure, to forsake the prun ing hook and tho plowshare, and to seizo instead the keen edged sword and shafted spear. You are hero tonight in the sacred cause of righteousness nnd liber ty. Today there bo men through the land who, disturbed in their particular walks and modes of life, and fearful lest the present order of things mny chnngc, are decrying this present so-called industrial unrest among the great working classes nB un founded. and based upon nothing more substantial than the anar chistic utterances of disnp pointed men--men who, per force, hnvo mado failures of their lives. Hut thoso who take this shallow view of thu serious industrial conditions that con front this nation are deceiving no one as to the true state of affairs unless it be themseves. and tho day of their awakening is close at hand. With a com paratively small group of men on Wall street making millions of dollars, and millions upon mil lions ot dollars, amassing over night fortunes so hugo nnd bloated that the ordinary mind can scarcely conceivo their mag nitutlo; with the iron grip of this (jnpitaiistfc Monster tiuhl oning day by day, week by week and year by year, his greedy and relentless lingers gathering in tho wealth produced by a suirer ing, driven nation of men and women, and yes, little children too, Danes scarcely out of the cradle, it becomes only a mat terof time when that people will rise in its awful might nnd bind in his own chains this Midas who reared himself in our midst.

Hut we do not a cnirnce in the struggle with the calm fortitude that is best adapted to bring ui timate success to tho arms of la bor. There lies a serious men ace to our cause.

Go back with mo in history to the founding of this nntion.nnd examine into the conditions of tho men who draft ed its organic laws. The men who declared for freedom then and Inter framed a written Con stitution to bind the states to gether were by their erstwhilo Sovereign termed traitors to the British Government for they were subjects of that govern tnent. and when they rebelled lurainst it they became political outcasts, with a prico upon their heads. Tho men who wero most nctivo in inciting tho Colonics to revolt against Great Briton did so only when lite under the tyrannies of that Government became unbearable, and when they signed tho Declaration of Independence each one realized that by that act he might be signing his own death warrant. this we know from rending the speeches and remarks mado by those men upon that solemn oc casion. Now, in the name of Truth, let us examine into the industrial conditions that obtain ed at the time of the framing of the Constitution.

It is true that among other things the the dwelling places of the multi tudes of this mighty nation, the sic its ni in sorv and Hiillonnir that would meet our vision would mnko our honrts grow nick and our tongues to cry out in nity and sorrow. Doubtless we would Btorm and blindly cast our in IK) tent and burning rage against this tremendous enemy of free dom, who has lorced ten millions of American fam i Huh to the rnir ged edge of that blackest of nits. that most dreaded and degrading ot conditions, t'overly. O, pov erty so many fathers, tired to death with tho day's drudirorv. go homo at night to find tho spec tre of poverty waiting to greet them on the threshold to faco them across tho haro and cheor less supper table. Hills to bo paid, and no money to pay them with; wives to bt clothed, nnd only rags to clotho them in: babes to bo fed, nnd nothing to iced them but crusts. You men of fumilies who have jobs today are loruinnie, uecause it is a black day for tho workingman wno tinus nimseit without a job, and with a family to support. Is it any wonder that men, facing nn enuiess stretch ot drenrv, neart-ureaKing years of work. work, work, an eternal grind. with Starvation but an arm's length away, and nothing to live lor but this daily round of drud gory- is it any wonder, I say. that they cry out for relief, for something better.' And, my inenus, iney aro going to get it, Tho world is seekinir a solution to tltispuzzlo, this enigma of tho man and the dollar, and just so sure as I stand hero tonight, the world will find u solution. But let us tnko care lest wo overshoot tho murk wo aro try ing to hit. Wo uro entering upon a mijjnty crisis today, and history, with its myriad of ex amples, teaches 113 that when ever a great crisis comes upon n nation that there are a thousand ruthless, glib-tongued men will seek to use the mortal distress of their country as u ladder up which they may climb to fame mil power. These men are main inviolate, save by duo pro cess of law. It Ih equally true that the Can tn ut c class has used this clause to irrcat advan tngo in amassing hugo fortunes. Hut bear in mind that when this great document wns written tlint property rights and purely hu man riirhts wero almost, if not quite, synonymous; for then the large majority of citizens were homo owners. And is it not ri- t t 1 . dicuious to suppose that our forefathers wero so miraculously keen of sight that thoy could gaze calmly Into the future and see tho mighty modern machines, most or which have been invent ed within n decade, that today take tho nlaco of skilled labor and mnko a thousand horseshoes while independent blacksmiths of that day mado but one do you suppose they saw theso al ants at work belching forth the appliances, the foodstuffs, tho cloth, the thousand and one things that wo use in our daily life, that in that time wero the products of individual workmen. laboring by the sweat of their brow and for tho love of their work? No, such an idea is pre posterous. Modern machinery. the tool that Labor guides at the behest of Capital, is of very re- cent origin, and it has rovolu tionized tho industrial world, and greatly changed the rein tions of master and servant. It was inevitable that with tho ad vent of modern mnchiney this condition should come about. 1'ormerly tho idea of community ownership of industries was un- heard of, for the simple reason there was then no need of it. In fact, the idea must then have been repugnant to freedom, for science men wrought with thoir hands, nnd community owner ship carries with it tho owner ship of the machinery of produc tion; it would hnvo meant a spe cies ot chattel slavery by tho state, for tho workman was then tho machine that produced tho commodity.
