Senator Mcmillan and Carpet Bgg0er
Pease Ordse-

FARIBAULT, MINI, Oct 31.-A moderate
sized audience OF men and boys assembled
at the court house last night 10 listen 70 an
address by Senator Mcmillan and Nr. Pease.
The meeting was called to order by Levi
Nutiing, who wanted 10 say a word on the
county ticket and congressional ticket:
Vote tor your county ticket, fellow Repub-
licans, Rice county has a Republican ma
jonty Of several hundred, yet the Democrats /
iii nearly all OF our Offices" The general /
then advised the audience to vote for /
Strait, ''as il looks as II we need all We /
can get TO help the major through" /
lie then introduced Senator Mcmillan, |
who without any preliminaries commenced |
TO talk on protection for American indus |
tries" Protection Is the only issue between |
the Republican and Democratic parties-all |
other issues have been determined" at
only remains for US to say next Tuesday
whether the tariff shall remain or not The
Republicans favor its continuance, the Dem
ocrats will give us free trade just us soon as
they get in power" The senator then quoted
numerous statistics from the census report of
1850 10 show the wonderful increase OF
wealth, population, mechanical improve
ments and railroads in this country from
1860 TO 1850. 1.-The tariff Is the
only reason of our increase -
OF course the senator forgot TO tell US that
from 1870 to 1850 this same census report
these same things, ''caused by the tariff -
In 1880 there were twenty-tiree miles of
railroads in this country. When the Repgb
lican party came into power there were
l6, 720, the increase was 727 fold against
four fold during the period of the Republican
administration, aided by the tariff, according
to Poor's tables. After having talked the
audience tired on this subject, the senator
sat down amid faint applause and was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Carpet Dagger Pease.
He agreed with the senator on ali he said
about the tariff, bat he thought there were
two issues before the people to-day. First
the tariff she could not add anything to what
the illustrious speaker, that preceded him,
had said on the tanff, - aud then proceeded
TO further illustrate the benefits of this ''glo-
rious protective SYSTEM" for over an hour to
a rapidly diminishing audience.
wherever" said this csrpet-bagger, ''yOu
see the smoke Of the engine curling to high
heaven there you find an increased value to
all farming land to $50, SO and 800 per
acre" You Republican farmers who live
81 CHIT Of this smoke sell out, sell out and
&c west
Dir. Pease seeing here the doubt
full look on the faces OF many of his audience
added, "This is a factl We know itr'-
and Of course they then believed It's per
cent Of the cost Of an engine Is material,
| 95 per cent. is labor capital" Good Mr..
Pease, why didn't you divide that % per
cent for US. and give labor per cent and
capital 90 per cent? Here this travelling man
gave US vivid description Of the
the home Of the American laborer-''Maga-
zines on the tabler' Carpets on the floor
'.Girl at the piano"-''He lives like a
bankerr' o, Mr.. Pease. do you think the
grasshoppers will feed on usl
Mr. Pease have you heard of the women OF
Hooking Valley, marching by the thousand:
into the town and demanding magazines CD
no, bread. Bread to keep the life in them
while their husbands were hunting for work
Italian laborers having derived them fromthei
protected positions of 60 cents day-an'
travel out in our western counties and visi
the ''dug outs and log cabins and tell then
the tariff has made them rich.
Pease's enthusiasm here got away with
him. Look he exclaimed, s'look ut YOU
beautiful city Of Faribaulf, where would it b
to-day il il was not for the land law-whiel
through God, Abraham Lincoln signed Civ
ing you free land.
Is every acre of land in Rice county was
l
laud) before Abraham Lincoln was eve
thought of for president, and city lots her,
were worth more than they are to-day, Mr.
Pease, we can thank God there is anything
left OF US.
Having exhausted the tariff question, ht
now said he would take up the other great
issue, land may my tongue elesve etc. If
will stir up sectional issues and then pro
, ceeded TO fling the bloody shirt for another
hour. When the diminished audience werJ
gathering their hats 10 20 home he DISCOVERIES
; another great issue, aud requested the audi
ence TO remain few moments and he woul,
] be through.
Once upon time he had some bushes
. on the Sioux reservation Ia job1 There h
met a modest, mild-mannered man-slaio
I Strait Well, the work was finished. AL
though he (the speaker) had quit the nois
aud turmoil of political life he had heard tina
the Major needed some help, as one Don
nelly was making things lively for Mr.
. Strait. Therefore he told his wife that h

night to help his old friend II. B. Strait
Mr.. Pease proceeded to tell all the good tn
} major had accomplished-the number o
bills by him introduced, and he could d
more only Democratic house wouldn't vor
him the money. Further on he said, 'I ven
ture 10 say that Major Strait has more innu

ANYTHING of them he got it.
