The morning call., 1894-04-30

World leaned back. shaded by parasols and
listening curiously. Senators Manderson
ana FRYE. with their wives, were there in
handsome carriages; Senator Coke and
Representative Kilgore of Texas stood
wedged in by the populace. and the long
gray beard of Senator Dolph of Oregon
showed conspcuously. Representative
Dolliver was at the head of another group
OF Congressman. Mrs. Anna L. Diggs OF
Kansas, the Populist speaker. stood with
baby in her arms.
The speech of Carl Browne was strange
mixture of theology and finance. BE &C
knowledged that he was crank, because
1t took a crank to move anything. The
present condition of the country he de-
clared to be the ful6llment of the revela-
ton of ST. John. The horns of the beast
were the seven conspiracies against the
money of the people. The ten horns were
the ten monoplies, foremost among them
the sugar trust Grover Cleveland had
called an extra session of Congress. and
by the aid of ''that gray-headed rat from
Ohio, John Sherman" he had been able TO
heal the wounds of the seventh head by re-
pealing the silver purchasing bill. Brownies
speech was listened to with impatience.,
because the people wanted to hear Coxey.
When finally the General scrambled
awkwardly up into the wagon and was in
troduced he waved his hat to each quar-
ter of the compass. He then launched
forth into his description of the millions
of starving unemployed, shouting: "We'll
stay here all summer, until Congress takes
action on these bills. Great applause,
with bell accompaniment.
II believe they will be passed in two
weeks" he continued. "You only have
to pick up the papers to see what desper-
ate straits these men are coming to get to
Washington. Look at the trains that have
been seized. l don't believe in lawless-
ness No, far from it. 1t makes no diff
ference if they don't get here Tuesday.
We will go to the Capitol and make our
demand and come back here to camp and
wait.
"This revolutionary spirit of '76 is max
ing the money-lenders t-emble now. Con-
gress takes two years to vote ON anything
if left to itself. Twenty millions of people
are hungry and can't wait two years to
eat Four million idle men for nine
months-that's what Grover Cleveland has
CUSt luIS GUILTY. lOiCdb Oucl-
man and Tom Reed have helped him, so
the Republicans have not yet got the horse
on the Democrats.
"If Congress knows what the people
need and doesn't give 1t, Congress is dis
honest We propose to give them the
benefit of the doubt and show them the
way out of the muddle-"
In this strain Coxey talked half an hour,
bareheaded, under the hot sun, explaining
his bin for good roads, plenty of money,
and its panion-piece, universal luxury
through non-interest bearing bonds.
Every thrust at the plutocrats was accen-
tuated by the cIang of the bell. and the
crowd which listened was constantly
changing, altogether an atten tive one.
Meanwhile the army inside the canvas
had been disposing of miserable meal.
The men lined up before a commissary
wagon from which squares of the bread
which they call punk" was dealt out TO
them. This they took over to the camp
fire. On which several buckets OF
meat stew had been
fixed. Each Commonwealth received a
big spoonful of the slew on his bread and
they sat about on the ground gnawing
this in famished way.
The gate receipts for the day are said to
be only $40. General Coxey declares his
army will march to the CAPITOL, hold its
great mass-meeting on the steps to present
its bills and then return to wait for their
passage.
