On March 1. 1898. |. Gruyel
CleS Gland, was inaugurated Presldent
of these United States. In this >or
will SEE the special interpcsitidn oi
the divine hand. In fS92. You fool
lsh people were run mad. You sent
delegates TO the city of Chicago, and
these delegates in convention Assem-.
bled; promulgated platform of fool
ish ideas.
But God Was wiser than the people
and saved them from themselves bp
having me- nominated a. candidate
for the Presidency on sand platform.
The people, Wise IN their own con-
.ceit, but foolish in the light of the
Lord, voted more wisely than they
knew and | was elected-the chosei
instrume,.t u Sod 20 SAVE the peo-
pie from. themselves. 1t is true that
| accepted the nomination and stood
on the platform; but this was neces-
sarv. If | had not, could not have
been elected. | had to practice this
little deception to get myself in pow
II to save the people from their fol
ly. Had ! not lent myself to this
little deception, the foolish people
would have nominated and elected
some fool Democrat who would have
attempted to administer the govern
ment according to the theories enun-
ciated by that arch-anarchist, Thorn
as Jefferson-the same crank who.
"A hundred years ago, wrote a paper
declaring the people of the then col
onles, were free and independent of
Great Britain. This was a vapid
lie. It is true that the people stirred
up war and suffered much, and final
ly achieved political q. independence.
But the Lord was kind and still
willing to save this stiff-necked peo-
pie from their folly, and raised Hp a
great man, Alexander Hamilton, VINO
was almost as great man as |. This
man, by unconstitutional legislation
fastened upon this country the Brit
lsh financial system. You will re-
member that the wise man, Pitt, said
that, if the United States would
adopt the British system of finance,
their boasted liberty would prove a
phantom. The wise man, A. Ham
ilton, instituted and chartered the
United States National Bank. This
wisely devised Institution for years

people to their great good and the
benefit of Great Britain. This bless
ed institution, with great skill, used
the money of the nation to inhu-
ence congress to do it's duty and to
re-charter, this blessed institution.
During the year. lS30-ls3j this
bank generously loaned to mem-
bers of congress the sum of Sl,605,-
7Sl.00, d snm greater than the salt-
ries of all the members of both
Houses of congress for that five
years. .......
These good congressman, .intlu-
enced by gratitude to this generous
institution, and for the. good of the
foolish people, voted re-charter of
the bank. But there happened to
be at that time III the Chair which I
now honor, low and bad man nam
ed Jackson, who vetoed this wise
'.- ~ y
measure in defiance, of his cabinet
and the press. Of the copntay, which
the bank in its wisdom had bought
up for the good Of the people. The
bank power at that acted robly. 1t
tried to give the people an object les-
son. d. 1t forced a great, panic Oh the
country in 1881. Bat the foolish
people did not heed the lesson, but
amid ihuch' suffering, endorsed what
the calamity howler Jackson had
done.
There was among the supporters
of this jackson, smart fellow nam
eh Benton. or some similar name i
