yOu-a great honor is yours today,
and then he led the way to an orange
tree that to me looked very much
like many Others in the grOve-he
reached up and reyerently pulled
down a bOugh and asked me to pick
an orange, assuring me that this was
the identical tree from which
Frances Cleveland had once picked
az orange. o. great honor-herO and
heroine worship.
0, you sovereign voters, don't
worship anybody but your own wives
and children. See what party in
tends to enable you to look after
your own wives and children and
homes. $50
The conditions today are much the
same as when the republican party
came into existence. The wings and
democrats couldn't deal with QueS-
tiOn upon which they were both
divided, and a new party was born
for that purpose. Gods time had
come. Nothing could prevent it sue
ceeding. So it Is tOday-nOthing
could prevent this move. | thank
God the sacred soil OF Kansas was
reserved for the birth OF this new
party which now spreads from ocean
to ocean, and must glOrlOusly
triumph.
Republicans and democrats are
divided upon all the important new
issues.
There was no party in existence to
cope with the great new questions
and harmonic changed conditions.
"The Peoples party was born for
that purpose.
"Once in a very long while Senator
ingalls, tells the truth. He once
said that the tariff question was Of
no more Importance than the fly on a
cart wheel-that it was good only for
jugglery.
We all know what jugglery means
slight of hand triCkery and amuSe-
ment of lOOkerS-On with their mouths
open in wOnder-"NOw you see it.
now you don't" When the candi-
date comes and shakes your hand,
and makes a nOwery speech picturing
the prosperity of the country with a
high tariff or a low tariff, don't you
feel tine-nOw you see it. But when
the campaign is over, and the orator
elected, you 60 home and think Of
your own prOSpectS-then you don't
see it.
Oh, tariff is a splendid thing to
juggle Without it is getting to be
too much Of a farce for even the
jugglers.
They won't talk tariff this fall.
They will try to create dissension be-
tween you farmers Of the west and
the laborers in the factories and
mines Of the east. They will tell you
those men are anarchists tell
those men that this farmers move
ment is only an anarchist craze.
They will try to make you fellows
hate each other, and all that-but
you are awake you won't believe what
the corporate newspapers say about
you. You know your own intentions.
These newspapers don't always tell
the truth. A short time ago a real
nice little slip of newspaper reporter
wrote a squib saying that she had
just returned from the east, that she
had been admitted to the innermOst
councils Of the laboring men Of
Chicago and Cincinnati and Pitts
burg and other great cities, aud that
she was actually frightened to find
how unanimous the sentiment was
that the wrongs Of our present
system can only be righted by blood.
NOW, / never said that, nor any
thing like 1t. In the first place l
have not been east since May-but
the utterance ITSELF don't believe
any such thing is necessary-you
don't believe it-nO it is not SOL
don't believe it. don't believe it.
A thousand times no! These wrongs
must be settled ty yOting-lnd they
will.
o, yes; don't l look like an anar.
chist? You ought to have seen me
before an audience trying to look
aerce-juSt as if l had a whole pocket
full Of dynamite, and l shouted out,
Financial cOnspiracies breed revolu-
tion"-some people in the audience
appeared to turn pale, then / said,
don't be alarmed, that is only quo
tation from the late Senator Plumb.
Plumb also said the Senate, Wall
street and the United States treasury
were in partnership.
Such conspiracy is what breeds rev.
