New York, Dec. 7 "The lust for gold and the hunger for power have ridden rough shod over liberty and love and law aud hung their banners over every capital aud every mart. The jingle of gold Bounds even in the laughter of mod ern society, and the eyes of the church are jaundiced with it. We have become a nation of gold wor shippers. I fear that if the Amer ican people in their present spirit were transplanted to the heaven above they would tear up the gold en streets in three hours and levy a tax on the harps of the angels for the benefit of American in dustry." Thus spoke United States Senator Robert L. Taylor," of Tennessee, in a speech on corruptiou and greed for gold at the third annual dinner of the Tennessee Society tonight. Launching into an attack on cor porations and railroads, Senator Taylor said. "Cannot our corporations lind some plan ot co-operation with la bor without trampling under foot the goose that lays the golden egg? Cannot our government give us sufficient volume of money to meet the ever increasing volume of dis order under our Hag! Cannot it irive a uruarantee to citizens that their deposits in the banks will be secure! 1 ask these questions here tonight lecause you are the money devils and you will have to answer them. 'You have got to come to the south for conservatism and for pure American blood to save the republic. You gentlemen of the house may have your jimjams over 'your rag-time system of banking, but we farmers down south stand pat. The only bulls we have down there are .Jerseys and the only bears we have have leen exterminated by the I'resident. We have not been clamoring for patronage and for special privilege, and as a result we are poorer than the north but not for all the gold poured into the troughs of graft to grease the snouts of ollieeholders would we exchange the purity of the south.'
