Peace on earth good will toward men 10
our MOTTO"
"shall you personally pay your respects
to President CleveIand?"
"Not l. He's not representative OF the
people. He's tool Of class. He came
into office to repeal the Sherman Law and
demonetize silver, and he's done It,"
"What will result IL you accomplish
the purposes Of your visit to Washing
tou."
III our non-interest- bearing bond is
issued 1t will result in demonetizing both
gold and silver and convert them into
commodities. Put gold into pig and make
it a commodity. Again, pure American
money won't be taken away from us by
any foreign power. We won't need
dollar of English money in this country,
and we will be saved millions of
dollars. Why, the foreigners have got
about five thousand million dollars in
vested in this country. We're in the
power OF foreign bondholders."
General, it's been frequently said that
your army is made up Of tramps and vag-
abonds who don't want to work"
That's a liel All my men are laborers
who want work but can't get it. All Of
them bear credentials from labor organic
tons. A man who won't work oughtnt
to eat--oughtn't to be allowed to eat"
Its also been said that they love rum
and get drunk whenever opportunity
offers"
THAT is false, toos We don't permit
any drunkenness. As soon as man gets
drunk we throw him out. Drunkenness
is the signal for expulsion from the
ranks"
DON'T YOU think you are setting bad
example IN riding in buggy while your
followers are compelled 10 foot it7"
"Weli, wasn't going to let my horse
stand in the stable"
%And you think popular sympathy 10
with your"
I'm sure OF it. Think OF the thou
sands that have listened to our preaching
Think OF the example Of our men! Talk
OF Washington crossing the Delaware in
bare feet! Why, he never saw the day
he endured such hardships as my men
have borne 10 crossing these mountains.
Then again the women are interested In
our cause. The women are praying for
us. l don't believe much 10 prayer but
the fact that thousands upon thousands
OF good women are praying for us all the
time Is a great encouragement. Still 1t
isn't prayer hut work that brings results. I"
What are your politics, general?'
I'm populist. l was democrat, but
when the party got into these new ideas
about finance it got away from me-"
Are you q Christian, general?"
Il think | am in the broad sense. The
present Christian civilization is an organ.
lied system OF religion and drink, and
has ruined the country"
ut is said that Carl Browne believes
himself re-incarnation of Christ. Do
you share his belief7'
"fes, / do in part. | believe that
every man has something of Christ in
him-even the most lowly."
Then you believe in re-embodiment? ?"
Most certainly l do. You believe,
don't you, that when your body dies il
goes into the reservoir Of nature and lie re-
solved into its elements? Well, then, it's
The same way with your spirit. Your
soul goes into the great spiritual reservoir
and is drawn from it from time to time
according to the laws Of the spiritual
world. | don't say your whole spiritual
entity reappears in its entirety; only part
OF it may inhabit new body"
Are you conscious Of a pre-. existence ?"
Yes, Ithink am. may say that |
feel pretty sure Of being the re-embodi-
ment OF part of the spirit Of one Of the !
great ones Of the past"
