wherein The unlawful interference ot the

House AND SENATE.
In speaking about the actions Of the
two Houses the speaker said the United
States Senate acted slowly, but acted
sometimes right. while The House ac,ed
! quickly and nearly always wrong. Ia the
/ Senate there were long debates and some
! times no votes. but In the House they had
I woes, but no dela -es. IN referring TO the
/ decision Of the Supreme Court he said
/ he had no doubt that Chief Justice Full
/ Ter had been wrong. lie was wiling 20

warned the people against the growing

more respectable 90 be an anarchist and
destroy property By violence than TO De-
d monopons, and steal the property.
AS citizens, the people had the right to

even those who We're the most remote.

/ INTOLERANCE or WALL STREET.
! Speaking about intolerance. Nj Bailey
SAID the intolerance OF Wall street was
| greater than that In the darkest corner OF
Nansas They would like 20 take the
people votes away TO prevent them
from getting their money. The Demo-
] cratic party made mo- war ON wealth, it
/ simply resolved that money should cease
! its war ON labor. Tley Oh NOT preach
| disorder, but preserved order. There vas
only one man safe. he WHO never Wronged

1 the Democrats were anarchists they
! would better follow William Waldorf

A 1850 PROPHEsY.
The money question was the paramount

/ dollars. for they were iolh more c1nven-
/ lent and cheaper He did not believe in a
! law making something out of nothlus
Tie did not say that the government
/ could make as good money ont of paper
] as out of silver. but &c could make as
! good a promise. n was not "a question
OF money but Of credit silver v. 90 be
used Tor smaller transactions. but gold
was only good for the larger transac-
| tons The people had paper and silver
which was TO money at am bui only
promise and the gold remained with
those who had the strong vaults.
MONEY FOR EVERYBODY.
snve. oulht 20 be the money for every
| body or ID ought 10 be the money for no.
body 10 was WRONG TO have TWO Kinds
of money-one for The iien ana one for
the Door. II IL was good enough for the
laborer. merchant and farmer then IL
was also good enossn for The banker
and he should be compelled TO take t
tor his gold. The latter were the adNo-
Gates OF the unsounutst money that was
ever produced by any man brain. Ihey

And this 10 spite Of the statements made
IN sold standard magazines mat an lhat

TOO MUCH CREDIT.
How had he panics In the world been

TOO little cash. sheriff would not 90
