"The general suspension, to those in a position to know, presents somo veiy discouraging features. The past Avinter has been severe on the diDing craft.

Ex Governor Saya Country la "Going: From Hart to Worse." Ex-Governor John P. Altgeld, of Illinois, addressed about 2,000 people in the Academy of Music, Brooklyn, N. Y., . Monday. Tho meeting was under the auspices of the democratic league of Kings county. j Ex-Governor Altgehl said in part: "Today the most wonderful nation on . earth is in distress. Its children are suffering and its foundation stones are slipping away. - "A whole generation has paid at the war debt and has reduced it by one half. Yet such has been the govern mental policy that today it will require twice as much of our products; to. pay the remainder as would have been necessary to par it all when j it was created. i Being a producing and debtor nation it was crime to legislate exclusively in favor of the creditor classes of Europe and thus destroy the purchasing power cf our people. Every great abuse is intertwined with the money question and you cannot ignore it; for it fixes the limitations on enterprise and ma terial prosperity. There must ulti mately come a system of finance or ex change that will have a philosophic basis and will not restrict human effort. But until this does come we demand the retro-action of the bime tallic system as it formerly existed in our country because it was the best thus far given the world. j "The universal corruption that is today destroying our country comes from the concentration of capital and the alarming aspect is that it is prac ticed by men who talk patriotism and who stand high in the estimation of the public. It is idle to talk about purifying the government so long as men of influence and position offer vast sums to corrupt it. Cut off the hand that offers a bribe and you will end corruption.
