Here were two men, both of them masters in their own lines. Mr. Cleveland had ordered the United States troops to Chicago. General Miles had nothing else to do but to obey. He went to Chicago with his troops. There was no shooting done. The question is, whether there should not have been some shooting done. Labor in this country has arrived at a point where it is so arrogant that it must be shot at. If it thinks that trade unionism will protect it, it is much deceived. I must tell a story of something that happened during the Pullman strike at Chicago. A big man thought that he could proceed against one of the regulars. He started to do so. The regular said to him: "You must keep off this property." The big man said: "Huh! You don't run the whole world." The regular said: "Get off this property, or I will make trouble for you." The big man said: "Huh! You have another guess coming." The regular said: "Get off this property quick." The big man seemed to want to linger, and the regular went after him with his bayonet and struck him where he understood that he had received his due attention. The strike was finished. Millions of dollars had been lost. The general manager returned to his ordinary business, and settled down to ordinary work again. General Miles doubtless retired to his retreat. There is a point to be made here about the efficiency of the militia and the regulars. What did the militia do during all this unfortunate experience? Not enough to let an ordinary suburban train go on its quiet way. Mr. Grover Cleveland saw the necessity of immediate protection for the United States mail, and ordered the regulars to Chicago. The regulars, merely by their presence, did more than the whole militia of the State of Illinois could have done or would have done. The militia are too afraid of shooting brothers and sisters. The regulars are soldiers, and obey the commands. My friend, the general manager, later on had to take care of the body of President McKinley. What did he do? The special train was there, the special policemen were there, and the special orders were there. President McKinley's body went to Washington with as cleverly appointed a bodyguard as one can ordinarily find. Poor man, he lay in his coffin not caring whether he was protected or not. A man stood on the front of the train, a man was on a middle platform, a man was on the rear end, and one or two men were inside. So this man was taken home, guarded by Democrats, and I think Socialists in theory.
