BAT At last be SAT dOUR. and General innss
stepped % the front OF the platform and IA
a short speech presented Gen. James Z.
Weaver. OF Iowa.
The Gesersl said that he had come 10
lalk 10 the people OF this Stale BECAUSE hs
loved them. he said the way ~ cslexI
pr9tscuonisis was 10 take the StAter ei
Michigan. Iowa and Illinois out OF the
hand. Of the Republicans. Ne said ne had
been Ia Congress for the past ten men tbs
and had not had = single holiday, nor
a Ssobatas res, IN all that ten months,
Congress has done . great deal of good for
the c0uatry but according 10 General
Weaver the Sena.s have not acted on any
Of the avs that the House OF Representa-
tlves have passed. He said that he IA. q
taken a vow never 10 let any party, bis on n
party or any other mans party. make hi M
deyiate from the principles which ne bad
espOussd He could stand tnere all night
aud tell OF the goods thiags that had been
done by Congress, but among others they
had passed the Mills bill. great blow TO
the Republicans. lie said that be woul q
rainer give the laborlng man MS ceat, yea Z.
everything be owned than 10 willingly in
jure him 10 any way. One of the great in
Gu-tries of Michigan is the lumber business,
aud a great deal of labor mad bsen en-
plOyed, but he could not sse where
tne AbOrer had been helped in
any way. No one was pro6ted but the
lumbermsn.
The nine manufacturing states have de-
posted In their savings banks all the monsy
in the lat on outside the treasury, asd IL
you had any money, .t Was because sem :
one mad borrowed il and nayed il to you.
SOmeOns Is In dset for it. When mo.ey sc-
cumulates IN q mans pocket, 10 - sign of
prosperity, but when money accumu ates ia
the treasury of 3 nation, it is q siga that
the nation dOss noI prosper. A man needs
10 save money for a rainy day. but a great
nation ike this does not need a dollar of
money except just enough 10 pay It's cur
rent expenses.
II the farmer lose on the price of his
wool by reducing the tariff. it ueuld come
back ten fold in the reduced price of the
clothes he wears. Tie crowd which was
not lsrge at the beginning OF the speech.
kept growing smaller and smaller. even the
good things which Congress has dsne in the
past ten months did net prove Of interest
enough TO hold the audience. and when the
general sat down there were many yscant
seats n the hall. and even some OF those on
the stage with the general, left before he
ceased speaking.
