ly, all government revenue to be

He now turned his attention to
the question of prohibition, the
greatest question of the age, he
said. If the legalized saloons of
the United States were placed in a
row, they would extend a distance
of $40 miles. The liquor traffic in
1898 had cost 10000 lives-more
than cholera and yellow fever had
carried off in forty years, and yet
the government spent millions to
ward eff cholera, but not one dollar
for the suppression of the liquor
traffic. .Scoffers said that the bust
ness could not be stopped. This
had been said of other movements
to correct great evils-movements
which had finally trlumphed. lie
entreated his auditors to join the
prohibition mt vement, for which he
predicted ultimate success. If some
thing was not done, the country
would be all drunkards.
Finally, he said he had not gone
over to the Peoples party, though
he was in hearty accord with most
Populist theories. He concluded
by an exposition of the doctrines
set forth in the Prohibition plat
form, and urged Republicans, Dem
ocrats and Populists to join the
movement.

John P. St. John dropped in at the
Board of Trade hall last night dur
ing the first hour and a half of his
dress, he would have thought that
red-hot Populist was holding forth.
Had he remained to the end he
would have heard 26 minutes OF
temperance talk from man who by
his own acknowledgement subscrlb-
ed to most of the Peoples party
doctrines and arraigned the old par
ties with all the intensity of Gov
ernor Waite. However one may
regard Mr.. St. Johns views it must
be admitted that he is a very enter
tanning and at times eloquent speak
err.
The hall was crowded last night;
seats in the gallery all were taken
and the steps to he platform were
used by those who wished to hear
the ex-governor of Kansas, the Pro
hibition orator, speak OF "Hard
Times, the Cause and the Remedy"
Promptly at o'clock, Mr.. A. Z.
Foote escorted the speaker to the
platform, where seats were also tax
en- by number of clergymen OF the
city.
Rev. j. G. Hay called the meet
ing to order and introduced the
speaker as one of the men who ac-
complished the victory for prohi-
bition in Kansas.
When the applause subsidized Gov
ernor st. John advanced to the front,
and after explaining that the meet
ing was under the auspices OF the
w. c.. II. u, announced that at the
close silver collection would be
taken up for the purpose OF defray-
ing expenses. He announced his
subject and said no one would dis
pute the existence of hard times,
but when the cause is sought, opin-
ion varies, and views in regard to
the remedy are also divergent. lie
created laugh by mentioning the
name of Cleveland, and asked why
no one applauded. Continuing, he
said Growers idea was that the
Sherman purchasing law was the
cause of the trouble, and John Sher-
man in the senate agreed with his
Democratic friend.
Governor Mckinley had said it
was the fear that the Democrats
would tinker with the tariff. Henry
Waterson said it was not the Sher-
man law, nor tinkering with the tar
iff, but from the fear that the Demo-
Gratis wouldn't tinker with the tariff.
The speaker rejected all these caus-
.es and said the hard times were the
result of long list of legislation in
favor of the few against the many.

he would speak mainly of the gov
eminent issues of bonds. He refer
red to the depreciation of green
backs during the war to so cents,
and the consequent issue OF per
cent. bonds as funding measure !;
the so-called credit Strengthening
acts of 1869 and the coin payment
provision; the demonstration OF
silver in 1878, after successful use
of the white metal as money tor

United States 80 years, when it was
higher than gold and when the Unit
ed States promised to be the great
est silver-producing country in the
world. measure enacted without
party or commercial demands. From
these measures he argued the evil of
the financial system of the past quar-
ter of ID century, bonds first being
redeemable in lawful money, then in
gold, downright legalized robbery,
as he called it..
He spoke Of the Bland bill OF
1878 and it's emasculation in con-
gress resulting in only a partial sill
yer legal tender value since it could
be Disseminated against by con-
tract. He denounced this act as
the most iniquitous in the history
of the country. He urged the peo-
pie to demand money that is design
ed to benefit all and not the Shy
lock few.
The country was sick, he said
had been sick since 1869, and con-
gress, the doctor, had been making
it sicker ever since by repeated
doses.
The speaker then referred to the
fall in the price of wheat, wool and
farm products in general since 1878;
the private mortgage Indebtedness
of the various states the number of
farm tenants, etc. From all these
things he argued that in another
generation the government would
follow the frog that jumped up two
feet and tell back three feet every
minute. Speaking of industrial con-
ditions, Gov. St. John applauded the
Coxey movement. Some said the
troubles had come from the Demo-
Gratis, and others from the Republic
ans, but both parties are the same,
in his opinion. Yet, he didn't be-
lieve the Democrats would ever
again win. He arraigned the Dem
ocrats for their refusal to carry out
the platform pledges in regard to
silver coinage-pledges which were
used to win votes. John Sherman
and President Cleveland were not
forgotten. He roasted the men who
toady to England, and thought it
was none of England's business what
the United States does. This coun-
