SAM CARY.
A Summary Of His Remarks, Sat-
urday Night,
At the EIysiau Rink, BeIIairs---A Large
Audience Greets the Distin-
guished Speaker

Ssmaei Gary arrived quite LSe D
lsire on Saturday night. A wreck on the
Fl. Wayne road detained him, and be was
not able to arrive before nine O'Clock.
However, o large audience was present to
greet him. The Beilaire City Band es-
corted the COMMITTEES with Mr.. Cs5Y from
the C. 4 P. depot to the Eisk.
Taking his place On the elevated Pist-
form, Mr.. Cary began his address BY thank
ing his c~ourtrynen present sOr being able
to speak to them even stthis late hour IN
The evening.
A great many people cant see why l
could consistently
BELONG TO 30 MANY PARTFSs.
Well, / am like az the gSod heads Of the
country, l want to see it run right ano
when i die | want to leave n good country
Therefore, my principles compel me to
sometimes to take the party harness OF, or
at least loosen it. / was g. Wing when
first voted, and expected to live snd die .
Wing, but the party died before l did
| vas like q great many Democrats
and Republicans Of; the present
time. They are born Democrats or Bepub'
licans, like their fathers, and expect 70 live
and die with their respective parties. L
went into the Republican party when the
Wings went back on me and voted twlcs' tor
Lincoln and am proud of it. But how
changed is the psrty of Lincoln to-day
from what twas then. The party has none
of the principles that it advocated at that
time. Every one of the members OF Lin
coins Cabinet except Cameron lived long
enough to turn their jackson it, and Came
ron got KICKED out for stealing. 1t was q
noticeable fact to me that the greenbsck
money had equipped the best amy in the
world; had built the best navy and had
erected more comfortable dwellings, than
any other money, and | naturally fell TO
liking
THE OLD CABBAGE-LEAF,
as the Republicans were wont to call 1t, and
l made my stand in favor of it. l was per
suaded to 90 on the ticket with Peter Coop
er and run for Vice President With ny
usual eye for business, | knew that If Peter
was elected President, that, as he was
old, he might possibly die, and
then would be made President. How
ever, Peter and ! never went to the White
House. Our schemes we're knocked in the
head BIZ Sherman and others when the
specie resumption act went into effect. The
G~reenbackers and the Democrats about thai
tine became warm friends. We bosh liked
the greenback, and you might say united.
From that time to this l have been a Demo
crat, and l think my hearers who have
heard the Whole of my lite story will I'D.
nit that Samuel Cary is not such a bad tel-
low after all; that he is consistent all the
time in what he does.
want to say something about the Re
publican party. 1t declared against giving

lsn6s equal in area to the thirteen original
States. The Democrats attempted, during
the last Congress to regain 100000 acres
of the souandered domain that bad been
given to q corporation that had broken ls
contract, but a Republican Senate sat down
on them. The Republicans have passed no
laws during the last twenty years that have
not been in favor Of aggregated wealth.
They tell US that the Democrats want free
trade, yet they can not point to any platform
hat the Democrats ever made declaring for
free trade. There is q difference in the
parties regarding the tariff. The idea Of
the Democrats in this direction is economy
Congress has no right to tax one industry
to enrich another. We believe it is right to
tax ss the government needs the money
II would be better if we had a moderate
tariff on some thiugs so that we can com
pete with o,her countries. The working
people If England, Ireland and Wales IL
their condition can not be compared With
TIE ABoRERs or AMERICA.
Over the AtiaRtic in the places named
| there are one hundred and twenty-iv,
working people to the square mile. Here
we have less than twenty. Tie trouble on
he British Isles is that there are too many
people for the work they have to do. The
highest protective tariff in the world ii
found in Germany, yet labor is paid poorer
there than any other place on the face Of
the earth. At present there II
a tariff OF three cents per pound or
sugsr. On every dollars worth Of this ar
ticle you buy you pay a tax to the Govern,
ment Of 30 cents. Isn't that terrible?
