A Prophecy and Its Fulanmont.
THE PROPHECY,


/ see in the near future crisis ap-
preaching that unnerves me and causes
me to tremble for the safety Of my
country. AS result Of wsr corporations
have been enthroned, and an era Of
corruption in high places will follow,
and the money power of the country
will endeavor to prolong it's reign by
working upon the prejudices Of the
people until all wealth is aggregatedin
a few hands and the rPpublicis destroyed.
/ feel at this moment more anxiety for
the safety OF our country than ever
before, even In the midst OF war;
abraham Lincoln.
THE FULFILLMENT.
There are fifty men in New York who
can in twenty-fOur hours stop every
wheel on all railroads, close every door
Of all our manufactures, lock every
switch Of all the telegraph lines, and
shut down every coal and iron mine in
the United States. They can do so
because they control the money which
this country produces. = ChGuReey

between the two bodies. (Cries Of
''mistake') and he believed the effect of
the motion upon the Populist conven-
tion would be different from that in
tended by its author. He believed that
the convention would do its duty.
Shinn was frequently interrupted by
cries and applause. to all Of which he
stated that he would speak until he had
finished. But he was mistaken. The
chairman made the point of order that
he had spoken more than once to the
motion and the point was sustained by
Chairman st. John, who directed Shinn
to take his seat.
The roll of states was called and New
Jersey named J. II. Mccullough and
Pennsylvania ]. A. Wright. After the
committee had been nominated u dele
gate asked the chair what the commit
tee would confer about. Chairman St.
John said he had no other information
than had the questioner. but he in
ferred, as the committee was composed
of level headed men and had but one
object in view, 1t would rise to the oc-
casion. (Cheers).
At 625 the convention adjourned until
