THE DEMOCRATS OFFER REDUCED TAX
ALTON.
The Democrats have offered the coun-
try new tariff bill which reduces the
taxation. 1t is an even reduction of per
cent. on the taxes imposed by the present
tariff bill, and yet the only assault the Re.
publicans can make upon 1t is to raise the
cry of free trade" When he, Mr.. Har.
ris, was in Congress. Mr.. Dawes, Republi-
can OF Massachusetts, introduced bill
which reduced the tariff 10 per cent. all
along the line of duties and internal reve-
nue.. Now when the Democracy introduce
bill with only per cent. reduction they
call it free trade. They raise the cry that
this little seven per cent. will ruin the
''infant industries now hundred years
old, Qaughter), and which will be infant
until the last of Gen. Washington's body
servants dies. (laughter). 1t is by this
cry they seek to sustain the great monOp-
olies that have grown up under High
Tariff and at which men get incomes of
million dollars year. No man can make
a million dollars year honestly unless he
has some advantage over his neighbor
given him by the law, (applause). The
Democratic tariff tax is to help the work
ingman and not the million dollars year
man. 1t gives free wool for the Ameri-
can workingmeu to work on and then
puts 40 per cent. protection againt Euro
pean wool manufacturers to keep compe-
tition off of him. 1t is High Tariff that
enables the manufacturers to make the
million year. ard it is the million year
that gives them the great wealth which
they use in buying up and closing out
SIN aller concerns, and thus creating Trusts
which put up the prices on what the PEG
pie consume. If there was man in the
Democratic party in favor of free trade he
did not know him, and if there was any
party in this country in favor of free trade
be did not belong to it, (applause). The
tariff taxes everything you wear and use,
and you want this tax reduced, and If the
Democrats get the control of all the
branches of this government you will have
it reduced, (applausel. And now are you
going to vote for Cleveland
Cries of yes, yes, yes.
And for Thurman too CHEERS and cries
of yes.)
THE GOVERNORsHIP-H AND THE
fuckers.
Judge Harris here took out copy of
the Valleu Virginian (Rep.) and read an
allusion in it crediting him with wanting
to be Governor as motive for his aid to
Harry Tucker.
ut says want to be Governor. There
is more truth in that" said Mr.. Harris,
"than anything that has appeared in that
paper for years."
This was greeted with loud and pro-
longed cheering lasting some time, and
winding up with "Three cheers for Har-
ris."
There is one thing,'' said MIR. Harris,
''that the fuckers and the Harris's never
did differ on yet-that is voting the Dem
ocratic ticket" (Cheers.) The senior
editor of the Yarginian, 1 think. is the
writer of that, and he talks about my
changing. 1 have a good memory and
can recollect afar back great laughter. J
and I will ask, if he left the Democratic
party because he couldn't stand Greedy,
how in the name of Sod can he now stand
the Forakers, and Chambers, and Sher-
m ans, of his party, whose tongues are as
black as hell itself? (applause.) But this
campaign is to be clean one. am glad
the campaign has lifted itself above per
sonalities and SANDER and vituperation.
If the editor of the Virgimian will recon-
Gle his troubles with Malone I'll reconcile
mine with the fuckers. (great applause
But it won't be an easy job for him, for
Malone has got them down and he will
put the rowels into them and make them
suffer applause
MIR. Harris then paid high personal
compliment to Harry Tucker and another
equally high to Hon. Jacob Y cost.
In conclusion, he drew picture of the
contentment and tranquility of the Amer
lean people under this Democratic, non.
sectional administration. The evil days of
the past were gone-Reconstruc with
its corruption and fraud were over. We
had a pure, national administration in

use our votes right and perpetuate both
He closed by drawing ont bandanna,
which was hailed with cheers.
