The general began his speech 10y Civ
ing a resume of the history of the for
nation Of the two great political par
ties of to-day. He said that the third
party of to-day had been founded ON the
same idea to which the republican
party owed its origin-the freedom of
la bor. Thomas jefferson and Andrew
Jackson were the two political diviu-
tiles to whom the speaker said he bowed,
and proceeded to elaborate ON the per

maud for all other things. Now there
are 10000 600 more people using the
money in circulation and S+O0, 1909, O0l

/ The speaker said that banks were
/ poor places to have money, He de
! clared that none of the businesses iu
Z which men earn their living 10y tho
l sweat OF their faces are prospecting, but
/ that those in which men earn their liv
