The speaker then went on TO contrast

banks Of to-day. Now no employer can
swindle his workmen by purchasing up
Mississippi currency to pay their wages
in. Your bank notes now are equally
good III over the great Republic; and tina
Republican party gave them TO you and
don't you forget II. Continuous laughter.
To-day the greenback dollar Is as good
as dollar in gold, because It's promise TO
pay dollar in gold means Just what Il
says. Who brought about this state Of af-
,airs? Who compelled resumption?
Voice, "sherman.nl Yes, Sherman was
me agent but who was behind him2
Voice, "the Republicans!"l Yes, the
voters Of the Republican party.
Some Of you may be surprised that I

God knows there is enough 10 do in the
present without rhking over
THE DYING RSBERs or THE PAST.
l am here to talk to working men about
what is best for them nov, what will Gle.
vate and benefit them and help them to
make for their families homes II pos.
sible even brighter and happier than the
homes they have now. And one way to
do this Is to vote the Republican ticket,
My third reason why think you should
vote this ticket Is that the labor OF the
United States needs protection. We need
= wee, thoughtful, moderate, but an
efficient tariff TO protect your labor and
mine from the competition OF the pauper
labor across the sea. "a tariff for reye-
nue. onlp"-sud that Is what the Demsc.

works must stop, your furnace fires 70 out,
Ynnr mill wheels cease TO hum, your fac.
ories. close, your mines be idle. Then
will all We dig here be dug in England
aud Belgium, ard all we make here be
made hey Cpd the sea.
II y because the Republican party has
furnished

for American wool, American iron, Amer
lean glass, American clocks and watches,
and all our American manufactures, that
our industries here are thriving and in
creasing; it is because Of this that our
furnaces aresending up their great flaming
to the sky. [vociierous applause.l
And II Is because OF this ask you to vote
% keep the Republican party in power.
Cheers
Another reason: II we arc indeed q
Union, then are We a nation, and II ma
ton we ought TO develop our internal re.
sources by wise system OF internal i'm.
and because the Republican
party stands for such system, aud be-
ways advocated the deepening OF the Mis-

Applause Now amt you? Laughter.
Yes; the Democracy is sectional party,
standing in this campaign on sectional
platform. You force the issue. You
would rule the South 80 as to get the
balance Of political power into the banda
OF the Solid South. You did it once be-
fore. You said you would tear down the
Union, and you tried to. You tried IL for
which history will attest. You endured
snferings tho record Of which can be
perused by the red light Of It's history.
BY the blood that was shed in those four
years; by the brave men who died then;
by the million graves that ridge every bat
tlefeld OF the war, plead with you do
not let that sectional party come In to
power again. vivid applause
The speaker here paused to consult his
watch, and remarked that 1t was getting
late. A periect storm OF cries OF "Ge on"
came from the audience.

But my friends, l would lift your
thoughts to higher plane than that OF
material interests or material prosperity. l
would commend the Republican party to
your confidence and your love because It
is the party Of equal rights and equal citi-
seuship; because it has conferred upon all
men the right Of suffrage. Applause

brethren will say that is just the reason
