At the afternoon session Mr.. Haywood

New York ought to issue its own money,
build markets, docks and other improve

that people would starve in order to
awaken them to these facts. He said if
these things could not be got by the bal
lot-box, then he favored getting them hy
the catridge-box. He would make it \
State-prison offence for any man to hold
more real estate than was necessary to
his support. The laborer makes wealth,
and it should belong to him. Similar ad-
daesses were made by others.
