spoke at couaiderabie length on ltls resolution.
The laws of the land, bo said, were equally

the humblest citizen, yet tho laws to which his
resolution referred bad not for tuauy years

Three-fourths of our business troubles arose
from the fart that the laws of tho United States
were not carried out by our executive
officers. The combinations of bunkers and

were opposed to silver, and their present cru*

$1.60, but nearly all of them wero given to me,
so in reality my shoes have cost me nothing.

treated with the greatest kindness. Friends
came to mo and gave mo shoes, and presents,
and a good deal more money than I spent. My
