CYCLONE DAYIS Gifted Orator Preaches Reform of Government. POWERFUL. SIRCERE ANO EFFECTIVE Pally Gaard, April 21 The opening of the camuaign for the Citizens ticket in Lane county began today with the speech of J H (Cyclone) Davis, the brilliant epigrammatical orator of the Lone Star state. The circuit court room of the court bouse was used, and before the hour of speaking it was taxed to its utmost capacity, quite a large number of ladies being present. At 1:30 o’clock Mr Davis was introduced by Judge J J Walton aud proceeded at once to the discussion of the leading political questions. "By the light of the past can we see to advance into the future," said Mr Davie. ‘‘Government such as ours is organized to give and perpetuate to its people certain inalienable rights,— life, liberty and the pursuit of happi ness, aud the movement of govern mental functions should tend toward that objeot." The imperialistic policy is to grade government to the existing conditions of men as they are ground down, and compel a submission to the same. Tbe true Jeffersonian democratic policy is to defend, protect and build up tbe people by a strict adherence to the principles of tbe government founded by our forefathers an a place where lite, liberty and the pursuit of happi ness is our birthright. The question of trust or monopoly ownership of lauds was handled strong ly by the speaker. A monopoly of land never was contemplated as a Di vine right, aud whether it be a duke, lord, earl, sydicate, monopoly or trust, to cone ;ntrate the ownership ot land in the hands of a few is against tbe masses and for the classes. To place the enormous power of wealth in tbe bands of a few people, creates a power in this republic more potent than that exerted by many kings aud potentates. "Nine syndicates in these United States can purchase nine states in tbe Union, including Alabama, tomorrow and pay the cash for them.” The military, in case or war, or the federal government has alone the right to build, equip and erect highways, yet this is disregarded. The ownership now vested in private hands is directly opposed to the constitutional intention. In commerce it is tbe same. Mon ey is tbe power. Money buys the machinery in the manufactories, and money owns and controls the men who run tbe machines whose effort fills the coffers of the few. F rauklin said, "I am constrained to believe that those who have the power to control money, will have the power to control the destiny of tbe people.” This statement was made at the time Piekuey moved to vest in the president aud bis cabinet the power to regulate money. 1 he amendment as proposed by Dr. Franklin was, that Uougrese (tbe people, not tbe few) shall have the power to coin money, regulate the value thereof and of foreigu coins. He who has tbe power to pull the pursestrings of tbe people has the power to pull the heartstrings of the people. If thirteen small states could “go it aloue,'' establish a government, build and foster it, and regulate its money acceptably in the commercial world, it is the shame of degeneracy now to say that tbe United shall ask of, Europe permiieion to coin or4not coin money. So rapid has been our growth and vast our advancement that we should be able to dictate our financial and commercial policy by the rights of the constitution which we are supposed to consider. “I am a plain American citizen,” said Mr Davis, “who believes that the Declaration of Independence is just as applicable now as when written, aud that the Constitution should be as sacredly regarded now as ever before ” The per capita of circulation iu the L uitetl r-tates (honest money as well as ± in“ t’V; T11 Uot 'oterest on our indebtedness.
