Ey.CongrIsrnan Hewitt called afore him
,ich NV the labrin men md others NV MOO
York, to git Their views ez to the coz Nv the |
depreshen nv the country ana the
remedy therefor. 1t okkurred to me that the
case Good not 60 to the country complete
onless the Corners was heerd from. liner
ia more fiuanshel talent laying around loose
about Bascon's probably than kin be found
on any other square mile in the country,
tho ther Is great deel Nv finanshel WISDOM
eloosidatcd, between drinks, moste every
where. When 700 want to Know eggsacE-
Iy how to pay the nashnel debt 700 want TO
find a man witch Good never meet bis own
obligashens. lie knows how is hlsseii,
for he has wrastled with finanshel problems.
I called meeting Of the principal citi-
zens NV the Corners to get their nosnuns
ez TO wat wuz necessary to hist us OUT Nv
the gulf we he'd plunged into. Ii TOOK
some time to get 'en together, ez tney WIZ
he'd list received, it bein' Bascom's habit
when he gifts new bari to give EN- free
taste. On SIGH okkasbuns the ultimate sal
yasben NV the human race woodent fetch
,em away until the free drink wus over.
They dropt in wun by wun, and eX-
omiued 'em thoroughly. The follerin is

Deekin?
objected TO and ruled out ez irrelevant.
Consistently what biznis did with Bas-
com he'd to be on credit basis. When Bas-

Objected to and rooled out ez irrelevant.
The Deekin: We want more money and
more occaShun for money. Their shood be
an ishoo NV at lcest a thousand mllyuns NV
money which is never to be redeemed. 1t
Should be distributed per capita, and every
adult citizen with an able-bodied apertlte
shood hev alI he wants. We want more
money.

gone to work in the spring and raised crop
and sold it for the money we now hev,
wooden't they hev eaSed you up?
Objected to and rooled out ez irrelevant.
Issaker Gavitt: Clearly Nv the opinion
that wat is wantid is more money. Money
that wood hev to be redeemed wood be Det-
ter than none. but that would be merely
temporary relief. WAT we want is an ou-
limited ishoo, at resler intervals NV money
which amt never to be redeemed; baSed on
the faith NV the Government. Ez l never
nav no taxes anyhow, I wood be Wllllp to
hev the revenooS pledged for its ultimate
redemshun. Every man shood in some way |
have just share.
By Joe Bigler: How long, Issaker, wood
it be afore Bascom wood hey 1t all, rs he
hez now?
Objected to and ruled out ez irrelevant. |
CAPTAIN McGrath: The principle need |
nv the Corners is more money; amt per-
tikeler wat kind it is so that nobody amt |
going to be called upon to redeem it, and it |
will buy likker. Want law maxim it,
another law distribbitin #, and another |
everybody to take it at par. Is |
willn to pool ishoos with anybody witch |
will agree to this. Am willin to tax every |
body for free educashen, and wood go so |
fur ez to make the Treasury furnish every |
child with school-books and new pare NV |
trousers. pervided that ishoo is pooled with |
this. Am also willin to redoose the hours |
Of labor to eight or five or four, or wood be
willin to 60 further and hev no labor at all,
pervidin money could be made plenty
anuff. Is willin to strike hands with Denis
Kearney, or General Butler hisself, to heV
money made plenty enutf. This is the
shoo to be pooled.
Abner Pettus: Amt quite clear eZ to
wat /" fat" money is, but is in favor Nv 1t
ef it lessons the hours Nv labor and makes
it easier to git. Wants more money and
more time to improve his mind; Wuz COM
PEELED to leave game NV seYen-up yester-
day at Bascom's when he he'd only one to
20. and wuz certin of turnin jack, to split
oyen-wood for his wife, witch, in proper
condishun NV society, he wood hey hed
Niger do. Then, the iron entered his sole

be shoor wv proper reward for his iaber.

At this point the investigation ceased.
Joe Bigler wantid TO know suthin about
the yeeld NV wheel to the aker, how much
WIZ put in about the Corners, and where
il wuz marketed, and the price 1t fetched,
but we checked him of, holdin that his
questions wuz irrelevant. He LATED and
went away, sayin that he Good show the

Hewitt that they may be incorporated in his
report. -
The Corners is determined to hev more
money. The citizens set every day till late
at mite at Bascom's, discussin this pint, and
we hev evolved n CRATE deal Nv 6nanshel
