Senator Ingalls And Jay Gould

Senator Ingnlls was at hls best in his recent speech at Piltsburgupon the occaeion of the opening of the Pennsylvania campaign. In his rcply to the time-worn deelaration that whh the rcpublican party in power the rlch have been growing richer and the poor poorer, the Senator said in his most satirical and witty vein, afler denying the accusalion and establisliing its falsity: Mr. Jay Gould and I started out in üfe about the same time. He liad a patent mouse-trap and I had the sneep skin of a lawyer. He set his trap in Wall street, and carne very near taking the earth wlth it, and I want to suy to you wlth entire conlidence, to go no farther, that the only reason wliy 1 havo not got so mach money as Jay Qould has got is becuuse I didn't know how to get it. [Laugliter and cheers.] I have examined the revised slatutes and every statute that has been enacted since my majority was attained and I have failed to discover any legislation that has prevented me froni arquiring $100,000,000. [Laughter.] It's too late now. [Laughter.] I have sometiuies wondered what would come to pass if some great equitable 3tatute of justlce and tquity for redistribution could be enacted so that upon a given date, say the lft of July following, every cltlzea of the United States should have his $875.30 I have a shrewd suspicion that wicliin six mout lis trom that time we would lind very mucli the same condition of things as now. [Laughter.] Some men wouk! be riding in Pullman cars and some would be walking along by the side of the track [Laughter], with their entire earthly possessions In a bandana trunk with a pin lock [laughter], and some men would be in Congress and eome would be in the penitentiary [laughtei], and some would be ïltting down iu the fencc corners waiting to see the procession pass by, and over all loud and clear would be heard the voice ot the leather tongued Oemocrat demagogue ![applause, who gets his living by the perspiration of his jaw [laughter , ratlier than by the sweat of lus brow [laughter], deiiouncing tlie nrrongs to labor again. [Prolongeu cheers. ]
