Many years of our past history, especially the last half century has been signalized by live accu mulation of vast private fortunes anti the acquisition of great wdflih built up in incredibly short periods of time. These for tunes'have, however, been con fined to the few ; while mediocri ly has been the lot of the many, and poverty the fate of the great majority. Now, if we should he able to trace tlvise rapidly acquir ed fortunes to the hands of men or classes of men enjoying pecu liar privileges of law, and if they are almost or entirely wanting among those privilegd by law, then we must infer that the law has contributed measurably to the success or defeat of either class. There are few who will venture to deny that the laws have contributed to the material prosperity of certain classes in this country ; and, if thisis true, as it is, we shouldinvestigate the j controlling reasons for their en i actmenl, and. when found, justice ; honesty demands their repeal and ! the banishment of the principle. Such an injury, however,is too | extensive 1o he fnllowered out iti detail at this time. I must there- fore confine mysell to a . general statement of the causes and the effects produced by them, view ed from my stand-point. The careful student of our po litical history, nay, even the most casual observer of our .national legislation, beholds in out midst the various forms of organized capital building up. its selfish i pursuits regardless of the weal or I woe of our common country, its : directors heeding not the eonse ! <t ueiices of a had law provided it ; contributes lo satisfy their own greed, or carry out their own sel fish designs, . . Organized and disciplined,!hey go into political contests of the country and advocate with men and means those who are .favora Me to their speculations and faithful to their interests. Notable among these bloodless gladiators, rairoads have come hither ami,departed llushed with victory and loaded with spoils. They are still here, hovering over and hanging around the Capitol, gathering up the spoils of their former victories, or .seeking to fasten deeper in the body-politic their fatal talons They send forward on the election days their armies ol officers and employees to do bat tle for their causes. Their capital exerted to every a vailahle extent often returns here their stockholders, agents, and attorneys to guard, protect, and forward their own financial poli cies and selfish ends. They are found in Congress and out of Congress. They have most ly created that cess pool of polit icni corruption called the lobby in whose slimy atmosphere they find conditions congenial to their I growth and contributory to their power, ;i power now most fatally wielded against the defenseless shippers along their lines. Rail roads are not alone, however, in this selfish, mercenary war. \V r o find national banks knocking at the doors of Congress and receiv ing admittance. They are creat ed by the law. and have nourish ed under the sanction until they have grown lo such giant propor tions that they almost defy the government in its efforts to con trol them. How. you ask, are *uch laws procured ' The answer seems to me to l>e by the embarking of capital in elections to the full ex tent of its availability ; by procu ring in Congress for men personally interested in the re sults of these laws: by their co operative system upon the lloor of this Hull; by passing legislation highly beneficial lo large corpor ations. But if I hey cannot thus succeed they go further, and as s(*Bs each member of their sister hood to raiso the funds suilicieut to procure favorable legislation, which Congress has from time to tine heaped upon thorn with pro fuse l><-ituly that makes honesty l/lush. It is this power for evil. 11 1 i- common interest at the cen ter of operations at the national capitol, that should alarm the thinking man and elicit his aid in their destruction. But these are not all the evils that afflict us. Manufacturers and inventors, twin sisters in high privileges and doubtful birth, have not been slow to see the benelits of invested capital on e leetion (lays or in the lobby, and in many instances they have riv aletl the fortunes and equaled the powers of railroads and hanks. Even these are not all. The hard worked miners of the great West have the benelit of laws providing for scientific,,svjjjvys and reports and the aids o’, MNmie. :! to protect their enterprises, search of the great bonan/,' lt heard of until modern tii,y farifl’ has given ample s , hundreds ol’nianttl’aetnr iVH ulafors. and merchants, Jmjm and llotirisli under the h. -tWllll of liberal laws; and I ask candor,is il not among tin,, shielded classes that fortunes of our times are to he found < And here, if I may be pardon | ed, I call attention to thegenq s st,. t , al advance upon the ballot at> s M the people of all of these eoih !] billed classes under the name. AJ capital. Starting from thqmjdfflfl fountain of public thouglh r ji . xrc press, it places before the povjbm every argument, fair and tint.,,el ft resorts to calumny and t’al.M * hood, ridicule and abuse, slando,i and detrect ion : is everywhere ; it never tires or sleeps, but is found pitching its- tents in the shade of State Capitols and over looking the ballots for Senators; goes nit on the hustings and argues in lie half of its agents; marshals its hosts in gubernatorial and pres idential contests, and lil I- the highest posts in the executive committees of either party, until the question who will be the gov ernor, senator, president, and e ven Representative, is answered by the question who has the most money. Is this no cause of alarm or have we arrived at that point, in our advance when, it at any moment some powerful organiza tion like the “Loyal League” or Tammany shall sally forth and of fer to the highest bidder tin' Pres idency of the nation, we shall tainelv submit as did the Romaus to. the first sale of the consulship by the’Praetorian Guard, lie hade them— ('leituge ilte Augs'ii stall ol polit i<- Of its foal muck of crufts ami Milt-st and tricks, Break the base ring, m here i-ommeri-e reeks .anil rets, I'urge speculation of Its canker spots, Vial forward go upon the path Of highest destinin'. Rut to return; how huve these Jaws thus procured bent their force against the unorganized and unsuspecting but numerous hosts of husbandmen and labor ers ( Do I need any facts or fig ures to hear me out in the asser tion that in the same proportion that these classes of laws have made others rich they have made them poor i No man, I venture to say, can call to his memory u solitary producing farmer depen ding alone upon the proceeds of his farm who has wibin the last decade made any advance on the load to fortune and prosperity; but he can recall at the same time dozens r/f others who have gradually gone down until they have reached the point where life is a mere struggle for exist ence. This needs no amplification, il figures, however, are uecessa ry they are abundant and -utli cieutly cogent to -urtnin this proposition. What, then, iit that ini- al lowed this Important branch [’ our industries to constantly go down under the splendid fortune-, which we everywhere else lie hold ? It can be nothing else than that ali of our pursuits have laws to guard (hem w tile the producers lias none.

This Government is theirs, by reason of their numhers, their services, their title, and their ownership, and they only are to blame should they longer environ their arms and stand coldly anti idly by while their opponents, insignficant in point of numbers but powerful in combination,con f mue to oppress them. Mr. Speaker, 1 may have dream etl too intently upon this theme, but i trust 1 have kept within the limits of soberness and truth. The reasons I may have mistaken, but the facts are plain. The three fourths of the people of the Unit cd Slates, more or less, in pursuit of farm life, having more power at the polls was it utilized Ilian (he others combined, are virtual ly excluded from Congress and are powerless in the councils of the nation. Ido not underrate the vast and important interests attached to every branch of our commercial and industrial pur suits, and I envy them not their prosperity or owe them ill will. I feel a common interest in our great national achievements ami rejoice in their, success hut i protest against th\ unfair dis crimination made in their favor. I have only sought to aid, if aid 1 can. the downtrodden condition of that class of men whose bonds 1 have felt and whose prosperity 1 .should hail with delight’.
