Manhood in this country is again

Applause.
Some Scottish troops were once
surrounded by the enemy, and after
constant fighting, with provisions
cut off, the Scottish soldiers were
dying of hunger. They were still
brave, and could repel the enemy,
but the wasting away of life from
starvation brought them to the con-
sideration of the
THE QUESTION OF SURRENDERING.
They had waited in vain for rein
forcements. When about to send
forth the flag of truce to announce
that fact, after waiting many days
and weeks for reinforcements to re-
lieve them, the soldier who started
with the message had bnt mounted
the parapets when he heard in the
distance the Scotch bagpipes of the
Scottish soldiers playing 1.-The
Campbells are Coming" There was
no surrender, and there was victory.
Let me say to the people of the
United States if you will but listen,
you will hear the music upon the air,
"THE CAMPBELLs ARE COMING"
The spirits of Washington, Jeffer-
son, Jackson and Lincoln are com
ing. [Applause.1
The same oppression that exists
in this country by the fraudulent
money measurement that is cOnfis-
eating your property, exists through
out the world. 1t first entrenches
itself in the power of the officers
who obey its commands. AS your
property falls in value, the salaries
of these officers are increased
Where II, 900 bushels of wheat would
have paid the Presidents salary OF
$4,000 IN 1873, 1t will take 10000
bushels to pay the salary of Mr.
Cleveland of $50, 900 now.
With the encouragement of the
money power comes increased sala
ries and official corruption; hence
official despotism.
To-day
LIBERTY Is APPEALING TO US
from all over the world. Cuba to-
day is striking for liberty agains
the oppressor, Spain. | have stooC
in the harbor of Havana and looked
upon that old fortress at its mouth
and had told me by citizen OF Ha
vana that beneath its walls under
ground were subJerranean channels
passages .and cells; that citizens o.
Cuba for political crimes only, haC
been in these cells for years, ant
had never seen daylight.
II is to lberate these people, it il
to end their oppression that comes
with your money power, that TIT
liberty-loving people of Cuba are to
day striking for liberty.
There Is a rising In this countr.

opportunity.
The President of the United States
the willing implement of the none
power and tyranny and oppression
has given every assistance to Spain
has sent our war vessels to guar
the coast of Cuba, to prevent tn
friends of Cuba, the Spaniards liy
ing in Florida, from going to thel

We are fighting the battle of lii

to-day upon the people of the Unite

The money power has crushed HI
man liberty the world over. Civil
zation arose on the Tigris and tt
Euphrates. AT its birth the seltis
influence through the money pOw'
that arrogated to the few the pro
erty of the country drove the peop
seeking liberty away, and the
crossed the Mediterranean In
treece and Rome.
In turn the same selfish intere
there absorbed the property of Il
people and sent freemen to model
Europe. Again pursued by the san
selfish spirit, those freemen Of E
rope fled

There is no other place you CT
