His language is sprinkled with
references to Patrick Henry and
the flag. He tells how his parents
brought him from Michigan in a
covered wagon in 1879. He re-
members when they burnt corn
stalks and hay because they had
no coal or wood. He had many
years OF adversely. In 1882 I had
to turn my farm over to my f.
nancial masters But I tell them
now that 1 am going to fight their
damnable system till my last day.
