carriages. Senator Coke and Represen-

also there. 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.
He acknowledged that he was
crank. because it took crank to move
anything. The present condition of the
country he declared to be the fulfill

= horns of the beast were the seven con-
spiracies against the money of the
people; the ten horns were the ten
monopolies. foremost among them the
sugar trust. Grover Cleveland had
called an extra session of congress, and
by the aid of "that gray-headed rat

SPIRIT OF '76
is making the money lenders tremble
now. Congress 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
men idle for nine months. That's what
Grover Cleveland has cost this country.
