CHAPTER VI.

notwithstanding Growers assurances to
TO the contrary, the cordiiion OF the
pepolr grew worse. And instead Of
prosperity. behold peverty increased.
But Cievtland's servants paid no heed
to the cries ofthe people and time Of
grea: distress fell upon he p ople. The
temples where they had deposited their
money failed and left many pennyl+es
all over the land and the cry ofthe
widows and orphans ascended unto
heaven as testimony against Cleve-
land and his administration, ind times
grew worse and worse and the servants
of Cleveland were so blind and drunk
en- with his praise and concentrations
that they could not see il and left the
people TO do az best they could. And
all the protestations Of the people they
treated with silent contempt, neither
troubled themselves to enqnire after
the cause, but compIacently sat thtm
down and proceeded With their deIib-
erations, turning deaf ear to all the
cries thai came before them.
Now there WAS a certain man in the
borders of the land that WAS moved
with compassion towards the people
and h. said unto himself, Perhaps the
chief priests and scribrs of the people
know not to v hat strait these people
are reduced" and after much medi'a-
ton he issued a proclamation over the
length and breadth of the land saying:
ITO all tribes. kindred and people,
whatsoever, in the United States, who
are impoverished and can find 10 en-
ployment. Greeting. -Assemhle your
selves together in companies of ten and
of fifty, of an hundred and Of thous-
and in your different States and Ter
Iitories and place over your companies
law-abiding citizens, yea, even snch
ing. And our banner shall be Inscribed
with peace. Carry no weapons Of Wal
and refrain from all hloodshed. ODE,
the laws oTshe land, but lei us march
to Washington, yea even unto 'be syn
agogne of The chief priests Of the na ion
and demand of them that they shall
give rs relief by remonetizing silver
and also put the unemployed 10 work
in making public improvements, issn-
ing legal tender notes in payment
thereof until the unemployed shat
have herewith to assuag1 the crav-
iDgs of their appeties, aud until they
and their families shall no NOR. feel the
pangs of hungrr and cold. For me-
thinks that the chief priests do moi
know the distress Of the people or they |
would devise some means TO relieve
them, for it is in their power and il is
because they have not been brought
face to face with the peoples needs
that they seem so indItf rent to thrir
wants. Behold are they not our brelh-
ern? Bone of our bone and flesh of our
flesh? Let us then, in one body, pre-
sent TO our breIhern, the chief priests
in the synagogue, our petition, aud, no
uOuUt wnen tney see our necessities
they will hasten to relieve us.
GENERAL CuxEY,
Commanding Industrial Army.
Now when this bulletin was spread
abroad throughout the land, behold,
there was great multitude assembled
in the chief cities Of the
United States to connect themselves
with The Industrial Army, some of
whom were tramps by profession and
ion whatsoever. But the majority of
hem were honestly endeavoring TO .
obtain employment. And there were
many tradesnen in the company that ;
we're exceeding cunning at their craft, !
Iuch as wrought in iron and wood and /,
tone, and many others in the different
md lucrative but since the demonili- .
lug of silver, had become wanderers .
nd onlcas's because there was no em- =
'loym ent for them. And the men di-
iued lnlo companies ana mad thar +
aptsins and leaders, even as an army +,
Sonld, save they had no arms and mu- ii
itlons of war. And fehy lrav. He'd az
est they could; sometimes on foot;
omelimes on horse back aud sometimes u
n cars. And their leaders did com il
lto Washington aud aiteGptsd 10 per- F
bief priests. But, behold, The hire fo
ngs OF Cleveland did lay hold on them II
nd cast them into prison and did III
;ourge them in the streets aud nsed 70
lem coutumely and all their efforts Il
line TO naught. Y
And ths chief priests of the sypa-
cue sat in their places day after day,
