WEST vInGINIA REpEEMEp.

But there nre q great many oil you that
don't want 700. That is what is g0iug
to give the electoral vote OF West Vir-
ginia to Benjamin Harrison. Cheers.
That is what is going to send George w.
Atkinson to Congress. fGreat applause
That is what is going 10 send the Repub-
lican members OF the Legislature to
Charleston next winter.
A voice-What's the matter with you
for Governor?
Continuing: The only only point
about that ia this, that next winter am
going to serve another session in Con-
gress, protecting your interests, before |
take the oath Of office as Governor OF
your State. That is the way it ought to
be, anyhow. 1t will be the best thing
for West Virginia when that takes place.
Now, OF course, that is not because it is
Mr.. Golf at all. He is very humble
individual in your State. He was born
and raised among you. He willltve and
spend the few remaining years OF his
life here, but that is utterly insignificant
The reason that he ought to be and the
reason that lie is going to he elected Il
because the voters OF the State have
made up their minds to doit. Applause,
Because he stands in this fight for the
great everlasting and ever living prinCt
Pile that is nearest to the hearts OF his
people to-day, aud which will be green
and dear to the hearts OF his people when
the speaker has been forgotten for ages
Cheers.
Now, my friends, we have to raise
about $500, 100000 year for the purpose
OF paying the expenses OF the govern,
ment. How shall we raise it. Do it by
the tariff duty, or raise it by internal
revenue and direct taxation? Now my
idea is to raise this money by placing
this import duty at such n rate US when
it lets the foreign manufacturer in we
may make him pay into the treasury
OF the United States the amount OF money
that makes up the difference between
the price of the cheap and poorly fed
labor OF the old world and the well paid
aud well fed labor OF the new world,
(Cheers.) Now what is there wrong
about that? II he cheats his labor, II he
deprives his labor OF what it is entitled
to, / don't want the labor OF this side Of
the sea to go down to the level OF that,
but | want to protect the laborer here by
making the foreign manufacturer pay
into our treasury the money he cheats
his labor out Of. (Gheers.) BY that
system we get the moneyin our treas
ury. By that we protect our own labor.
By that we keep up our own manufac.
turing establishments, and We save you
people from putting your hands into
your pockets and taking oul your own
money to pay into the Federal treasury.
Which is the last system.
THE PRESIDENTS THEORY.
Grover Cleveland, President of the
United States-[ prolonged cheers1-.(Well
we all have u right TO think and speak
for ourselves. | have been struggling
from my earliest boyhood for the main.
tenance of that principle. That is one
Of the principles OF the grand old party
for which / stand to.day.) Now our
President, see, wants to make this re-
ductiun OF one hundred million dollars
from the manufacturing industries
alone. ] want you to think about that.
/ want the manufacturers to think
about that. / want the laboring man
to think about that. President Clevc.
land wants TO make the entire reduction
that he asks for Of Si00, ,000, 900 from the
manufacturing interests and industries
Of this country. The sum is now fixed at
$500, 100000 Now out OF that we raise
SlOO,0OO,000 from internal revenue-I
will not go into the odd dollars-we
raise Sl00000,000 of that by internal
revenue. That leaves 500, ,0O6, 900. The
President i'll his message says there
should be reduction OF 100000, 900.
In other words, there should be a so
per cent reduction on the present entire
tariff rate.
Now what is he going to take it off OF I
OF that 500, 900, ,000, $50, 900, 900 is raised
from sugar. The President won't touch
that; not much. Then take $4,000, ,OOC
from the $2O0,0OO,O0O, which leaves
$50, 100000. You have got to take
SlOO,0OO,OOO off Of that. S50,OOOOOO Of
thatcomes from what? From liquors
wines, silks, laces, ieweiry and cigars
He says "Don't touch that" Take thai
away and IL leaves you the Sl0O, ,0O0, 900
What Ia the 800, ,000. 900 OF reduction
