ersWlll perlence in taking barrel Of
potatoes owe. rough and rugged roads.
They may be fairl j mixed at the start,
but after while the. few big ones will
al sbe on top, the midi lle-sized ones will
be II the middle and the small ones, gen
orally the larger part, at the bottom,
looking for the bnng hole without being

q few families, he said, were owners
of the means Of communication, and the
wealth Of this grand republic Of ours
was concen trated in the hands of COM
paratlvely few. The taxes Of the masses
We're increasing the ability to pay de-
creaslngw e were fast approaching con-.
dition similar to that of the French peo-
pie previous to the great revolution.
Then everything was taxed IN order to
furnish the corrupted court at Versailles
means with which to continue its dissi-.
patton. Even the windows were taxed,
but the people saw fit to live without
them. At last they taxed salt the on.
y thing inevitably necessary for human
llfe-and when the people couldn't bear
the oppression any longer, they rose in
their might and decapitated 100000 no.
bleman cruel,it seems, but 40, 900 heads
were never spent in a more profitable
way.
Coming back to the people of this
country. the speaker said they we're ruled
by an 'ollgarchy living in the east-an
ohgrechy that controlled the wealth Of
the country. This oligarchy elso con.
trelfed the elections and actually spent
large sums of money in order to do SO.
lt3had been custom for long time
to throw dust in the eyes OF the voters.
In the last campaign. for instance, they
were told that there was no money cues

4 The demonstration of silver, Mr.. Dom
nelly alluded to as one of the worst frauds
that has ever been perpetrated in this
country. The average circulation per
capita was too small, and much less
than political speakers generally tried to
make the people believe The demoDeti-
zation OF silver had made paupers and
tramps; had made the people dependent
! upon the gold mongers. Favorable
conditions would not return until the
circulating medium was increased. No
body, he concluded, should allow himself
to be fooled by the recent rise in the
price of wheat. This was to be attribu-
ted to the war between China and Japan
and was IN no way connected with legis-
lation here. 5
After light lunch with Rev. Norman,
Mr.. Donnelly left by way of Madelia for
home. At Madelia he was met by a
crowd of admirers and was urgently re-
quested to make an address, which he
would have done had the necessary time
been at his disposal. And this leads us
to quote the old Latin proverb, sTen-
pora mustanter ct nos in lilies" Some
years ago, they would hardly have given
Mr.. Donnelly a room at the hotel in that
village, and now they crowd around him
and plead for aspeech!
Ouren's band discoursed fine music at
the meeting in Linden, and the whole ar
rangement was successful and to the 5un-
divided satisfaction Of Mr.. Donnelly. A.
