note the intense interest in this cam

line have noticed it among young men,
who are anxious to establish themselves
and build up competency. I have no

that before their days are ended they
may see the money of the constitution re-
stored. (Applause) l have noticed 1t
among mothers and wives, who have
been in every audience crowdfng around
the platform because they especially
