ued from that standpoint. If intemperance has
its root in the Saxon blood, that demands a stimulus, why is it
that the womanhood of this nation is not at the grog-shops
to-day? Are women not Saxons? It was asserted, both by Mr.
Phillips and President Hopkins, of Union College, that the liquor
traffic must be regulated by law. A man may do what he likes in
his own house, said they; he may burn his furniture; he may take
poison; he may light his cigar with his greenbacks; but if he
carries his evil outside of his own house, if he increases my
taxes, if he makes it dangerous for me or for my children to walk
the streets, then it may be prohibited by law. I was at
Harrisburgh, a few days ago, at the State Temperance Convention.
Horace Greeley asserted that there was progress upon the subject
of temperance; and he went back to the time when ardent spirits
were drank in the household, when every table had its decanter,
and the wife, children, and husband drank together. Now, said he,
it is a rare thing to find the dram-bottle in the home. It has
been put out. But what put the dram-bottle out of the home? It
was put out because the education and refinement and power of
woman became so strong in the home, that she said, "It must go
out; we can't have it here." (Applause.) Then the voters of the
United States, the white male citizens, went to work and licensed
these nuisances that could not be in the home, at all the corners
of the streets. I demand the ballot for woman to-day, that she
may vote down these nuisances, the dram-shops, there also, as she
drove them out of the home. (Applause.)

What privilege does the vote give to the "white male citizen" of
the United States? Did you ever analyze a voter--hold him up and
see what he was? Shall I give you a picture of him? Not as my
friend Parker Pillsbury has drawn the picture to-night will I
draw it. What is the "white male citizen"--the voter in the
Republic of the United States? More than any potentate or any
king in all Europe. Louis Napoleon dares not walk the streets of
his own city without his body-guard around him with their
bayonets. The Czar of Russia is afraid for his own life among his
people. Kings and potentates are always afraid; but the "free
white male citizen" of the United States, with
