present disturbances to the constructing
old standard. He proved that more basic
money was the need of the world. He
next reviewed the national banking sys-
TEN and denounced it as class legislation
on gigantic scale Next he reviewed the
tariff system, saying that the Mckinley
tariff of 1890 was passed to reduce the
surplus in the Treasury and caused de-
felt the last year of its existence of 800,
600, 900. He next discussed the money
question, giving detailed account of the
fraudulent methods used by which the

He appealed to the people of every Ioliti-
cal faith to stand shoulder to shoulder in
the great fight now being waged, and
predicted victory for the toiling masses

the fearless Bryan. Mr.. Jeter's speech
was well received, and we predict for him
