want, in the words that l shall utter,
to extend an encouraging message to
the distressed people of the United
States. l want to say to them that
relief Is coming, to pick up courage,
ana to those who are suffering until
their hopes are crushed and who con-
template abandonment Of all hope In
their business, say do not do so. Hope,
comfort, and relief are coming. Man
mood in this country is again going to
De revived. We are going to force this
country by the shere influence of in
telligence to cease its worship of prop
erty and money as of greater value than
humanity. (Applause)
Some Scottish troops were once sur
rounded by the enemy. and after con-
slant lighting, with provisions cut of
the Scottish soldiers were dying OF
hunger. They were still brave, and
could repel the enemy, but the vast
ing away of life from starvation
brought them to the consideration of
the question of surrendering. They
had waited in vain for reinforcements.
When about TO send forth the flag of
truce TO announce that fact, after wait
ing many days and weeks for reinforce
ments to relieve them, the soldier who
started with the message had but
mounted the parapets when he heard
In the distance the Scotch bagpipes OF
the Scottish soldiers playing THE
Campbells are Coming" There was no
surrender and there was victory.
Let me say to the people OF the
United States that If you will but
listen, you will hear the music upon
the air, "The Campbells are Coming"
the spirits of Washington. Jefferson,
Jackson, and Lincoln are coming. Gap
plause.)
The same oppression that exists in
this country by the fraudulent money
measurement that is confscating
your property, exists throughout the
world. 1t first entrenches itself in the
power OF the officers who obey its COM
mands. AS your property falls in value
the salaries of these officers are in
creased. Where II 900 bushels of wheat
would have paid the presidents salary
Of $4,000 in 1873, it will take $4,000
bushels to pay the salary of Mr.. Cleve-
land of $4,000 now.
With the encouragement OF the
money power comes increased salaries
and official corruption; hence official
despotism.
To-day liberty is appealing TO us
from all over the wrold. Cuba is to-
day striking for liberty against the OPP
pressor, Spain. 1 have stood in the
harbor of Havana and looked upon that
old fortress at its mouth and had told
mo by citizen of Havana that beneath
its walls underground were subter-
ranean channels, passages. and cells;
that citizens of Cuba for political
crimes only, had been in these cells for
years, and had never seen daylight.
1t Is to liberate those people, 1t is to
end their oppression that comes with
your money power, that the liberty
loving people of Cuba are to-day strik-
ing for liberty.
There is a rising in this country with
your money power. a tendency to in
trench and protect oppression the
world over where it gets the oppor-
tunity.
The president of the United States,
the willing implement OF the money
power and tyranny and oppression, has
given every assistance to Spain. has
sent our war vessels to guard the coast
of Cuba, the Spaniards living in
E1nrfAo cr0fnoy 10 fhaf.
We are fighting the battle of liberty
for the world. (Applause) The result
of your verdict upon this momentous
question will be worldwide. 1t will
convey words of cheer and stimulate
the nerves of free men In every land.
Never was civilization so dependent
upon the action OF any one people in
the world as it is to-day upon the peo-
pie of the United States.
The money power has crushed
human liberty the world over. Civil
lization arose on the Tigris and the
Euphrates. At its birth the selfish in
fuence through the money power that
arrogated to the few the property Of
the country drove the people seeking
liberty away, and they crossed the
Mediterranean into Greece and Rome.
In turn the same selfish interest
there absorbed the property of the peo-
pie and sent freedom to modern Eu-
rope. Again pursued by the same sell
fish spirit, those freemen of Europe fed
across the Atlantic to America.
There is no other place you can go.
The islands of the Pacific ocean will not
sustain the population. We stand to-
day with our backs to the Pacific ocean
and our faces to that enemy that has
eaten out civilization in all countries
to-day. The tail of that serpent rests
in Egypt and India, its body in Europe.
and its head is raised in this country.
VIII you fight it? (Applause)
Thomas Jefferson when in Paris was
asked: What, in your judgment, is
YOUR greatest protection in the United
States from tyranny? His reply was:
In every log cabin in the United States
there Is a rife. and tyranny does not
dare TO raise its head. The men who
owned those rifles have passed away,
but they nave left you the ballot, and
"a YOU guard and protect that ballot so
