risen. [Oteers That is what is going
to ssnd George w. Atkinson to Congress
[Great applause That is Whist IS going
70 send the Republican members of the
Legislature to Charleston rext winter.
"A voice:-What's the matter with you
for Goytrroi?]
The only point about that is this; that
next winter am going to serve another
session in Congress, protecting your IN
terssts. before take the osth of offics ss
Governor of your state. I guess thst is
the wsy il ought to be anyhow. 1t will
be the best thing for West Virginia when
that takes place.
NIB. GoFF AGAIN.
Now OF course that is rot becaufe it is
Mr.. Golf at sll. He is very humble In
diyidusl in your State. He was horn and
raised among you. He will live and spend
the few remaining years OF his llie mere.
But that is utterly Insignificant. The
resf on thst he had ought to be. and the
reason that lie is going to be elected, is be-
causs the voters of this State have mace
nm THAR minds to do it. Applause
Because he stands in this fight,for the
great everlasting and everything principle
that ia nearest 10 tie hearts OF his people
to dav and which will be green and dear
to the b. arts of his p ople when the
speaker has been foIgotten for sge'. A
Voice-Ycu're all right, but you're on the
wropg side Of the fence.
You'll, be on tie right tide, my friend,
on November 9th. Now, Dy friends, we
have to raise about $500, 000, 600 year for
tie purpose of paying the expenses OF the
government. How shall we raise 1t? Do
il by ths tariff duty, or raiseit by internal
revenue and direct taxstionr now, my
idea is to raise this money by placing tins
import duty at such rateas whs 1t let's
the fore; 90 manufacturer IN we may make
MIN pay into the treasury of the United
States the amount OF mcnsy that makes
mn the difference between the price Of the
cheap and poorly fed labor Of the old
wcrld, and the well paid labor and well
fed labor Of the new world.
TCheers1 Now what is there wong
about that? If Re cheats bis lator.
If hs depriyes his labor Of what is is en-
titled to, don't want the labor Oh this
side OF the sea to 60 down TO the level OF
that, but want to protect the laborer here
by making the foreign manufacturer pay
into cur treasury the money he cheats his
labor ont Of [Chears By that system
we get the money in our treasury. By
that we protect our own labor By that
we keep up our own manufacturing estab-
ishments a: d we rave you people Fl. m
patiing yoor hands into your own pock els
and taking out your own money to pay
iat, the Federal Treasury. VIII ca is the
best system?
CHEERS FOR CLEVELAND.
Grover Cleveland, President of the Uni
ted Stltes. Prolonged cheers. Well
we all have right 10 think and speak fur

government is now fixed at $3O0, 900, =
600.
SOME FINE FIGURING.
Now, out of that we raise 500, 900, 900
from internal revenue. will not 20 into
the odd dollars. Now, we raise $1O0, OOO,-
900 of that by internal revenue. Thst
leaves $500. 600, 600. The President in his
message says, there should be reduction
of $4,000 1000. In other woIds, there
should be fifty per cent. reduction on this
prese mt entire tariff rate. Now, what is

900, 900, $50, 900, 900 is ra's:d from sugsr

ton Of 100000. 600, than, that is

too high and ought to be reduced; that we

taxes, as they are called, in the sum tf|
