As Told in History.

He then reviewed the history Of the
Peoples party movement. The census
of 1880, he declared, was the cause Of the
formation of the party. That census,
he declared, revealed the fact that
three one-hundredths of one per cent,
of the people owned one-fifth of the
wealth of the Countrywide outcome OF
the first one hundred years of this re-
public He declared the Omaha Conven-
ton of 1892 nominated a man and gave
him the prominence which enabled him to
sell out his friends, and he exclaimed:
1.-The traitors are now assembled at
Sioux Falls in obsequous servility to the
Democratic party. They are parting
their coat-tails and inviting the Demo-
Gratis TO kick them, and every time they
are kicked they thank God and take the
outrage"
Mr. Donnelly then reviewed the repeal
of the Sherman act and declared that at
the next election following that repeal,
the Populists gained immense strength
in many states. Then, he declared, was
the game of the Democrats sprung to
steal the Populist platform and save itself
from destruction. He denounced Bryan
and lauded Thomas E. Watson, but de-
clared that the Democrats in 1896 refused
to recognize the Popullsts, whom they
only wanted for their 100000 votes
Recess was then taken until o'clock.

The arguments on food are interesting
Many persons adopt vegetarian diet on

that life has been taken to feed them, nor
do they fancy the thought of eating dead
meat
On the other hand, too great oonsump-
ton of partly cooked, starchy oats and

serious bowel troubles because the bowel

digested), are overtaxed and the food fer

bringing on peritonitis and appendicitis.
Starchy food is absolutely essential to
the human body. Its best form is shown
in the food "Grape-Nuts," where the
starch is changed into grape sugar dur
ing the process of its manufacture. In
this way the required food Is presented to
the system in a pre-digested form and is

A remarkable result in nourishment IA

is to live for a glorious future or to die
an ignominious death.
Too long has our party been cursed by
ofticeseekers, cranks with wild theories
and demagogues with alluring sophistries
and If we would win the confidence and es-
teem of thinking men, we must adopr
such Platform of principles as will ap-
peal to the millions who are to-day seek
ing for solution of these great questions
which confront us. At the forefront of
these stands the financial question. Right
here l want to say that one of our great
mistakes has been in accentuating our
demand for the free coinage of silver to
such an extent that the Democratic party
took it up as their battle cry, and this
produced confusion in our ranks, when
in fact it is one of the last of the reforms
which we seek Beyond this is the broad
er and greater question of government pa
per currency issued, not through the ma
tional banks, but directly by the govern
ment itself. Let us plant ourselves firm
ly upon this proposition, and while not
abandoning the cause of silver, let us go
forward to the more advanced and more
logical position. Another great question
is the government ownership of railroads.
Another great question which I have
already suggested, is the trust question
The trust has come to stay. IT is an out
growth of our industrial system CAPITAL
has realized what labor has not vet found
out-that competition is not the life but the
death of business Therefore, capital has
ceased to compete and is now doing the
more wise and sensible thing of co-operat-
ing. l believe that whenever any line Ct
industry becomes a monopoly there is only
one solution possible. and that is for the
government to take control Of the monop-
oily and to use and operate 1t for the ben
eft of all the people.
There IL one other issue which I will
mention which consider greater than all
the rest. 1 refer TO the principle of direct
legislation. We will never obtain a wise
financial system, we will never secure gov
eminent and municipal ownership until we
first arrange a system under which the
question will be referred to the people for
the direct vote.
