II Is free trade. This plank put In the
Democratic platform TO please the sclid
South is different from the thing In the
Republican platform, having for its
object protection TO American labor.
Applause. II seems absolutely In.
comprehensive to see how any labor
ing man, be he Democrat or Republican
can vote the Democratic ticket with
that plank in favor Of free trade Zap.
plauss, for in so doing he votes direct
ly against his own interest. II you
want to come direotly into competition
with foreign manufacturers vote the
Democratic ticket. II you want to have
starvation wages vote the Democratic
ticket The reason Is that in Europe
they can manufacture articles mush
more cheaply than We cen, because they
pay their workmen what would be
considered starvation wages here, and
If you take away the protective tariff,
you will fnd this land Hooded with
European articles, and the owners OF
factories would have to close,o to com
pete, reduce your wages. II is q great
mistake fcl farmers to vote the Demo.
cratic ticket, for when they do they
vote against steady homo market for
their products, and are liable to de-
pend on uncertain Europsan markets.
The real estate owner, voting the
Democratic ticket, votes against his
own interest, because the sale Of his
land depends upon industrial devel.
opmsnt and home prosperity. ZAP.
plause.
FACTS ON FINANCE.
No hocest man can vote the Demo.
cratic ticket considering its infamous
record on honest money. When the
Resumption Act was pending, even the
United States Senator from this county,
who now posturss before the American
people as the Apostle Of honest money,
opposed it to the fullest extent Of his abil-
ity. 1t introduced 16 bills in October,
1877, for repeal OF the Resumption Act.
1t declared. in 16 State Conventions
against Resumption. It has made in
famous alliances with the Greenback'
ers. No honest man can call 1t party
of honest money. In every State where
solemn State obligations have been re-
pudiated, we find the Democrats have
been in charge. No man whe Is in fa,
vor OF paying honest debts can vote for
the Democratic party. Applause. J
STAMPING A LIE.
Mr.. Bradford then took up the decla.
ration by the Democrats that the Repub-
iican party ID a party Of military inter.
ference at the polls. lit were true ii
would warrant Republicans voting the
Demo cratic ticket, but he was prepared
to stamp the lie upon the face Of the
assertion. He then read from the
United States Statutes Section /, 5528,
$3.50, $500 and 5532, bearing on this
subject, and defisd any Democrat to
state an instance of Republican inter-
ference atelections through the military.
DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY WITH A VENGEANCE.
The Democratic party says to the
Republican party: 'You do not deserve
to control, because you have not done
so in the past with economy" Take
the last three years Of Democratic rule,
ending each June as ths FISCAL year
does, and you will find that in 1879,
1880 and 1881 the average annual ap-
preparations exceeded $lG2, 600, 900
stated IN geld. Compare with this the
average annual appropriations ma 1e by
the Republicans during their last three
years in power. and ysu will fnd it to
be about $l40, 900, 900 stated in gold
Democratic excess each year of over
$22, 100000 Possibly l will be taken
IL task for omitting the first two years
of Democratic rule, following the Re-
publicsns, viz. 1877 and 1878. In these
years the average WAS $ll5, 900, 600
against the Republican average of $l40,.
900, 900, and in 1878 1t was the ridiou-
lously small SUM of $4,000, 900. This
will net stand Investigation.
1t was a political trick to effect the
election Of 1878. The Democratic aver.
age, is In excess Of the Republican
average even counting the small appro.
priation Of 1878 when it had to cripple
the government as an election trick. |
App ause.
Again, the Democratic party says the
party should be turned out
on account CT SO much corruption, as
embezz lements and defalcations are so
frequent. Referring to the records Of
The Treasury Department, you will find
that the losses on money collected and
expended since the founding of the
Government amount to $5 II Oh the
b, 900. During Van Buren's admins.
ration the loss was $11 on the 81, 900. i
During Republican rule from 1850 to
1875 the loss was but 81 cents, in other .
words, but little over one tenth the
oss prior to 1861, and about one twen-
18TH vf the loss during Van Buren's
Applause.
The Democrats have appointed 80
Investigating Committees, who, while t
pending $5C0,000 Of the peoples
money have not not convicted man of =
teallng single dollar. Applause.
u the $467, 100000 of Internal Revs- '
lue collected, every cent has been paid
nto the Treasury.
Let the Democratic party overlook b
Is own record for defalcations. 1t can a
nd long list, containing that of J. T. u
'owler. Postmaster of New York, who j,
efaulted in the sum of $l70, 900; R. =
). Hammond, collector Of the Port of
an Francisco, who abpconded with '
372, 900 ; Goddsrt Bailey, disbursing s.
gent OF the Indian fund, who took
II 900; Samuel Varault, Collector of y
be Port of New York, who took ST..
05, 900, and mauy others. &
Mr.. Bradford went on to urge bis d
