The speaker then discussed the three

year. The barns Qf this country We're filed
with products that could not be sold,
and OF the seventy millions Of pcOpl q in
the United States. 5000 people owned
three-fourths of the wealth Of this cOun-

thing was wrong. The suresi way 10
bring about anarchy was 10 convince the
masses of the people that their franchises
had been ~debauched and their liberties
cut off by the corrupt use OF money. The
present condition of affairs was such that
If II was kept NO. as the Republican plat
form said IT should be done, the two mil
lions OF unemployed men would soon be
increased 10 ten millions.
