MAYOR A. A. AMES
was the first speaker, and said: IL had
the pleasure few evenings ago of
speaking at Hudson, Wis. l had not
made many speeches for a long time,
and did not feel as though l was pre-
narp6 tA mako aamnainn CnQQ0h hnt
after | got started l was surprised at the
number of matters which are vital issues
In this campaign which came into my
mind. All of you will find it the same
way as SOon as you commence to discuss
political questions, you will be surprised
at the number of matters in which you
are interested which will come into
your mind during your discussion.
Now, L am not politician, although
have been elected to office
several times, and have also several
l have been elected to an Office the
monopolists have invariably commenced
war against me, and the city has
swarmed with their hirelings, who went
about the town lying about me and try
ing to defame my character. The peo-
pie have been several times mislead
by these monopolistic hirelings, and
have been defeated at the
polls, but in every instance they
have found out that they were misled
and fooled by these demagogues, and
when appeared again as candidate l
was elected by an overwhelming ma
JOrity. l want to warn you now about
enc thing: beware of these hirelings of
the mOnOpOliSts who are swarming
through the city at present try
ing to make you believe that
the tariff should be maintained
for the benefit of the working people.
jim Hill is reported as saying few
days ago that of great many of these
monopolists and railroad kings who
chipped in four years ago, not one of
them has received anything back. and
when he passes his hat around again it
God, he don't have to pass his hat
around. Now L am in favor of
tariff reform, and want to tell you some
thing about how this high protection
tariff helps the working people. l find
by examining statistical report, which
was prepared by the Republicans, that
in Pennsylvania, the best protected
state in the Union, the working people
only average about 72 cents day. But
the manufacturers under this protect
i've system have nearly all become mill

it was a rare thing to see man who
was worth S1.D00.000, but now, after
living twenty-five years under this high
protective tariff, which was only put on
the articles which we use in order to
raise money to carry on the war, and
which, after the war, was kept up in the
interest of the working people, we have
millionaireS by the thousand, and we
find the working people working in
Pennsylvania for 70 cents day. Now.
who do you think profits by this high
tariff, the working people or the
monopoists?"
G. L. Butcher, vice president of the
NATIONAL committee of Democratic clubs,
said: 81 want to call your attention to
the fact that this country was settled
by people who came here to escape the
tyranny practiced in the old country.
You came here to have govern
ment in which the people could
take part, and have country
which they could call their own,
because they governed themselves.
But as soon as the first settlers in this
country commenced to improve this
country and change the wilderness into
country noted all over the world as
peer of any of the nations of the old
world, party of schemers undertook
to change this government so that they
could tyrannize over the people,
and rob them as they had in Europe.
The schemers have worked under a
number of names, but the people soon
found them out and defeated them
when w. III. Harrison, who
was one of them, was elected
president. they called themselves
Wings. and when after they had con-
troll of the government one term and
been relegated back to oblivion by an
outraged people, they then made their
appearance as Republicans, and
under that guise they again sue
ceeded in getting control, but
they were again found out
and driven out of office. 1t is now
about time for them to again change
their name, but they have postponed it
until after the 9th of November, when
they will be buried so deep that we will
never hear the name Of Republican
again in an election.
Addresses were then made by A. D.
Smith, P. Schmith, of Fergus Falls, and
Matt Gallagher. Mr.. Smiths address
was entirely on the method practiced
by the Republican party in legislating
all the power out of the hands of the
people of Hennepin county, and the
audience applauded his remarks with a
vigor that testified their appreciation.
