publicans. Now we will organize a re-
form party and with 16 t l as our
shibboleth will march on to the White
House crying: Down with the money
power!"
The nation is in a bad way. You
can't but see the general cussedress Of
things. We stand on the very verge Of
ruin. There is a big surplus In the
treasury. Some OF the money of the
hundreds OF millions are in the horri-
be banks, in the very clutches CT the
money power. The Dingley bill, is no
good. 1t does not produce money
enough to pay government expenses.
There was no necessity for the govern
ment to issue bonds. Plenty Of money
coming from the Dingley tariff to foot
the war bill. None OF the borrowed
money was used for the war. II we had
taken the metal of the big silver mag
mates at twice its value and used 1t to
buy ships and ammunition we would
have fooled the outside world and trick
ed the soldiers with a cheap dollar.
The Wilson bill was an infamo''s
measure. Cleveland said. So ~ 1. The
Dingley bill is also infamous. What
the country wants is more money. cheap
money. The government is now coin
ing two millions OF silver dollars per
month. but they are 10O-cent dollars,
and people have to work for them
Give lis free. unlimited coinage, with
out regard to other nations, at the ratio
of 16 to l. and there will be money to
threw at the birds. 1t will be useful for
that purpose.
AS it is now, you can all see that the
The railroads cannot do the business.
Passengers have to stand up; trains are
delayed: freight is blocked. Bad, amt
it? Then there are the miners hard at
work, except those who are on a strike
for higher wages. Even the niggers
are getting employment. The coal
miners didn't strike under Cleveland,
but were glad to work. at any price. So
they we're.
Now, take a glance at poor, miser-
able Wyoming. The cattlemen are get
ting such big prices for their young
stock that they car hardly afford to
continue in the business, while cattle
are SO high hat the ranchmen go with
out beef. Oh, but it is terrible. Then
there are the sheepmen, of which l am

a pound. Too bad. wasn't it? l feel
lsorry for the man who bought it. be-
cause it is going down. down, down to
nothing. (The speaker was silent as to

dicted two years ago that a protective

people to go naked" no did he make
any allusion to the reopening Of the
closed wooden mills, because he had
also predicted that the high tariff
would stop even the few mills that
were in operation. 1t Is wonderful how
