Senator MeMiHaa and Carpet Dagger
Psase Crate.

FARIBAULT, MINI, Oct. Sl.-A moderate
sized audience OF men and boys assembled
ar the court hOuse last night 70 listen TO an /
address by Senator Mcmillan and Mr. Pease
The meeting was called 10 order by Levi /
Nutting, who waited to say word on the
county ticket ana congressional ticket:
''vote for your county ticket, fellow Repub-
licans, Rice county has a Republican ma
jority OF several hundred, yet the Democrats /
III nearly ali Of our Offices" The general /
then advised the audience 10 vote for |
Strait, ''as Il looks as II We need all we /
can get 10 help the major through |
he then introduced Senator Mcmillan,
who without any preliminaries commenced
to talk on projection for American indus
tries.n ''Protecron Il the only issue between
the Republican and Democratic parties-all
other issues have been determined" ut
only ren-aias for Us 10 say next Tuesday
whether the tariff shan remain or not The
Republicans faT3r is continuance, the Dem
ocrats win give Us free trade Just as soon as
they get In power The senator then quoted
numerous statistics from the census report of
1850 10 shoK the wonderful increase of
wealth, populihon, mechanical improve
ments and nllroads in this country from
1850 to 1850. The tariff is the
only reason of our increase -
OF course the senator forgot to tell US that
from 1870 70 $50 this same census report
shows that there Is an actual decrease in
these same thines, "eaused BY the tariff !"
In 1870 there we're tEenty-three miles of
railroads in this country. When the Repub
lican party came into power there were
16, 40, the increase was ~ fold against
four fold durin 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 all he said
about the tariff, but be thought there were
two issues before the people to-day. First
the tariil The could not add anything TO what
the illustrous 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 carpet-bagger, 'syou
see the smoke Of the engine curling to high
heaven there you find an increased value to
all farming land TO $50, SIS and 800 per
acre. You Republican farmers who live
81 ghi OF this smoke sell out, sell out and
&C VISIT
Nr. Pease seeing here the doubt
full look on the faces of many of his audience
added, -'Ihis is a factl We know tip
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 3 per cent and
capital 90 per centi Here this travelling man
gave US vivid description Of the
the home II the American labOrer-''Maga-
zines on the tabler' Carpets on the floor
-Glrl at the piano''-''He lives like a
baukeri" o, Alr. Pease, do you think the
gTAsshoppers win feed on U.S.
Mr.. Pe.,se have you heard of the women Of
Hooking Valley, marching by the thousands
into the town aud demanding magazines %
no, brad. Bread to keep the life in them
while their husbands were hunting for work
italian Iaborers hsving derived them from their
''proiecied'i positions of 20 cents a day-and
travel out In our western counties and visit
the dug cuts and log cabins and tell them
the tara has made them rich.
Pesse's enthusiasm here cot away with
him. Look he exclaimed, ''look at your
beaufiful city Of FarIbault, where would it be
to-day fit was not for the land law-which
! through God, Abraham Lincoln signed Civ
I ing yJu free land.
As very acre of land in Rice county was
taken rom The government (except school
land before Abraham Lincoln was ever
thong ! OF FOR president, and city lots here
were orth more than they are to-day, Mr..
I Pease, re can thank God there is anything
! LETT 90 Us.
Having Exhausted the tariff question, he
now said ne would take up the other great
issue, '.and may my tongue cleave etc. if
win stir up sectional issues and then pro-
ceeded 70 fling the bloody shirt for another
hour. When the diminished audience were
gathering their hats To 90 home he discovered
smother great issue, and requested the audi
ence 10 remain a few moments and he would
be thr0agh
Once upon a time he bad some business
on the Sioux reservation "a jobg There he
met a modest, mild-mannered man-Major

though he (the speaker had quit the noise
and turmoil Of political life he had heard that
the Major needed some help, as one Don

strait. Therefore he told his wife that he

Mr.. Psase proceeded to tell all the good the
major had accomplished-the number of
bills BY him introduced, and he could do
more only Democratic house wouldn't vote
him the money. Further on he said. ~ ven
