Butier In New Jersey.
NEWARK IN. j., Sept. lS.-At least
90. 600 persons were today ON the fair
grounds of the New Jersey State Agri-
CULTURAL Society at Waverly. Every
portion of New Jersey was represented
Governor Abbott arrived early. Gen.
Butler drove over from Newark at $3.50
p. IN. After paying his respects to ex
Congressman Clark. president of the
society, General Butler spoke for ten
minutes to large crowd. He said he
never thought of talking politics at
fairs. and devoted the most of his
speech to advising the farmers to raise
sorghum and produce, and to leave the
cultivation of grain To the grain states
of the West. The speech was warmly
cheered.
In the evening, in Military Square,
Newark, a restless crowd of some nc, 600
people assembled to hear Gen Butler.
Their noise made the speech of the
chairman inaudible, but Batter quieted
the assembly somewhat by some very
vigorous measures, and by insisting on
having the stand clear. When quiet
was restored. General Butler said
IF every man will Id his own tongue

This is a question Of labor. You don't
want pauper over here from Europe
to compete with you, yet We have
IN this country four million or
more laboring men and women
in the south who are working
for half the price you are, and the
Southerners boast that they can produce
manuf sctured goods cheaper than You
can. So they can, when they do not
pay their men anything. Those meu
have votes as You have votes. but IL Is no
use for them TO put them in the ballot
box. They are net counted fairly, and
every man in this country knows IL. |
want you to reflect over this. IL il q
serious thing. II thousands OF masters
Of slaves can make their negroes, as
they call them still, work for one half
of what you do. then your wages must
come down, and what Is the use of a
tariff in your favor, IL this is to 60 on I
That Is one of the reasons why wanted

the Democratic platform.
Speaking of strikers and the tribunal
of arbitration, General Butler contin-
