What is the meaning of this enormous
outpouring of the people. No ordinary
occasion would produce this scene; no
ordinary campaign would stir mems
hearts as they are today being stirred.

to the fact that this year the people are
thinking as they have not thought in
recent wears And well they may. In
this campaign two mighty forces are ar
rayed and they are engaged in a strug-

Mr.. Carlisle In 1873 was discussing the

terests OF the country are fully and final

domination of syndicates, stock ex
changes and other great combinations
