party In their platform OF 1892. He also
/ discussed the result OF the great mis-
take that the people of this country
made In that election: how the factories
closed under the enforcement Of the
Democratic paramount Issue OF 1892 for
free trade tariff for revenue only, how
we had milltarIsm. how the enforcement
of the Wilson-Gorman bill caused 3,000.-
900 men TO tramp up and down the land
hunting for work; how the soup houses
were the places OF public entertainment
| for them: how the sheep from which
was shearcd twenty-five cent wool was
driven out of the country and slaugh-
tered for mutton: how the lumber mills
