President, ladies ank Gen- TLKMfcN : I can very truly say that no occa sion of my life gives me more pleas ure than to respond to the call of the people of my State whenever tbey bare oooasion for my services. It does me good to look into your faces and I am reminded that agriculture is the great and dominant interest of the Stnte of North Carolina. Seventy-five per cent, of tho people of ou State are devoted to agriculture and its kindred pursuits seventy-five out of every one hundred seventy-five thousand out of every one hundred thousand of our population ; that is to say, out of every four men you meet three of tham are engaged in agri culture and are dependent upon it. It is. therefore, the dominant Interest of the State of North Carolina and as such, recognizing that fact, mv po litical obligations, as well as my in clinations, have been in the direction of the interests of those who are en gaged in agriculture more particular ly than In any other direction. The people who till the soil are the moat conservative of any of our popular tlon. They are more dependent up on nature, therefore ' they are more fixed la their habits., therefore tbey we more fixed in their opinions and have more powei to Judge than any other class of ur people. They are nearest to the God which created them Whether they are better or not, I am nut permitted to iy. I can only say, they should be better than any other class of our 'people. Atj all events, ihev constitute the most con servative element in our society and as such there is a vast nnd wondrous responsibility resting upon them. We look to you. farmers of North Carolina, to resist wild and imprac ticable schemes; we look to you to adhere as nearly as. possible to the track marked out bv our forefathers for tnc preservation of the liberties and tbe happiness of our people. We look to you in church and state to re sist what has been characterized b) the Apostle as 4,every wind that come9 along"; we look to you to help preserve, rather than to mark out and create new things; wc look to you to old fast to those things whicu are good and to eschew and resist the progress of those things which are evil: Many years ago, fellow citizens, it was brought to my attention, as it muse hove been brought to the atten tion of every man who looks at the state of our country and the things which are directly before his eyes, that while the people of these United States were making the most won derful physical progress ever known to the children of men ; that while they were accumulating wealth and spreading and widening and broad ening the means of civilization faster than other people has ever done, yet that wealth was not being distributed properly in proportion to those who earned it and created it. That natu ral tendency of the strong to oppress tbe weak which will prevail whenev er one maa has more money than An other; which will prevail whenever one man has more power to fight than another (and be is d'sposed to exer cise it); that tendency which nature has created and provoked to an une qual distribution of the accumulated wealth of the country, has been fos tered by law. And for thirty 'three years, a quarter of a century, I had observed and still observe, that the legislation of the national legislature of this country has been either indif ferent or directly hostile to the inter est of the agricultural classes of our people. In the last thirty three years great corporations have grown up that dominate whole States aod com munities, whose directors and con trollers in tbe back room of the office of their secretary or treasurer, or tkeir president or vice-president, levy more taxes on our people than all our legislatures put together, and these corporations are not response hlfe to anybody. Under this system ' oi iegis lauon an oi tue DanKS twmau ever since the constitution was form ed were considered an essential ele mentof State sovereignty), have been created with suh powers as ena ble them to contract the currency or to inflate in at their own pleasure, aid the banks and banking institutions chartered under and by authorit- of the states have been driven out of existence oy unconditional taxation, in some way the manufacturing in terests ot tho country hav procured legislation in their favor. There is not a corporation oreated for the pur pose of accumulating wealth created in the last third of a century, that has uot been created absolutely at the expense of the agricultural class es of this country. It is not deniod by tbe most rabid advocates of capU tal that agriculture has not had this chance. It has not participated in the general prosperity of this great country. On tho Dontrary, fellow citizens, under the State legislation for the lat twenty or twenty -five years the laws of your Stale have been favorable to you and so far as the State Government of North Car olina can promote the nealih of the agricultural and all other c lasses. I challenge any other State in America to show more disinterested legislation than thu exhibited by North Caroli na. Show ine a government in Amer ica anywhere lhat has been better ad ministered; that has been more wise ly administered; where the taxes have been more justlyiaid and where ev erything has been more equalized than it has been under the govern- mcnt of North .Carolina. -Whj.j-iis this? Wny is it that the XaiuiHui legislature has been so hostile jjto your interests and the Sta'e legisla ture so favorable? I will tell you why. The answer is not far to sdek. , is It is because this legislation has been moulded by the farmers of North Carolina who have been either pres ent in the legislature as members,' or you have selected and elected those who should represent you, and there fore the beneficient legislation; where as in the National legislature. ; al- though you constitute largely qne haifofall the workers and wage earners of this great nation, your strength has been dissipated. The bond which has held you together has been a mere rope of sand and your influence in the National legis lature has not been felt has scarcely been there at all. Why has that been? I perceived a long while since that was because you lacked organization, you lacked tbe means of combination and the bringing of strength to bear at a givea point. 1 NaiKileon's great oaxitn was j to throw great masses of troops upon the weakest point of his enemy,;; and as one of our cavalry, generals during the late war expressed it. inari! of more courage than education he said the great secret was to get there first with the most men. You have never been able to do that in national poli tics. 1 he banks have got there every time with all four feet; the railroads have got there eyery time, and it is i he-on 1)' part of their schedule j in which they have never been behind time; tbe manufacturers have gone there every time; all the balance of them have. Why? Why. becauee they have been organized and have got the 8 tart. I have no quarrel with them for it. My quarrel is with you for neglecting the means - of grace which has been offered to you. j iow it is known to you that a great contest is pending in tbe Con gress of tbe United States and is di viding and agitating the people' all over this great land on the question 0f their money. Propositions j Lave . . m n m. and are pending now in the Senate which would demonetize one half of our currenoy. Do you know What that means my friends? - You do not. You think you do but you do not. !jlf you would take the tronbl - to sit IK down and read the bi$u,. , a uK!Ensi lish people about the timo i ;4 liot- ain demonetized silver cud der.yc1 one half of the currency of the people and road of ;he v&st multitudes ot hungry men that psraded the streets of London and of wailing women that surrounded the parliament House holding up children orving for bread and of the horrors of actual starva tion through which those people had to pass to ooine to a gold standard ; if you cold bring those times back, you would see something of ! what was before you in oase that one-half of osr money is wiped out. Do not, let any man deceive you by saying that onehalf of it will not be wiped out. For the only law which is upon our statute books now that binds os to sllyer is the Sherman law which is threatened with uncoditional repeal. You can see tbe gradual effects of) legislation.
