Great Falls tribune., 1888-10-06

run an honest government with sur
plus. Naughter) Government is des-
igned to secure life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. When sufficient
money has been collected to secure these
great aims, the purpose of revenue is at
tained; there taxation should end. (Cheers)
'rhe republican party had promised to
reduce taxation, and thus stop the need
less inflow at the treasury, but it falter-
ed in that purpose for it did not know
where reform would strike. Mr..
Wallace then proceeded to discuss the
difference between protection and reven-
ue reform which he said implied govern
ment Of the people, by the leople, for
the people, He cited instances to show
that all taxes are paid III the end by the
consumer. He said that the manufacture
ers had induced congress to remove the
war taxation on bank circulation and do
mestic products and had resisted any
| change in the tariff. He referred to the
tariff plank Of the republican platform
and asserted that Grover Cleveland had
| no British leanings as might be seen by
his attitude in regard to the fishery ques-
tion. Mr.. Wallace discussed the tariff in
its bearing on labor and denied Mr.. Car
ters assertion that the Mills tariff bill
was sectional. He predicted that if Mon
tana goes democratic statehood may be
acquired in less than two years, while if
she goes republican, which was very
doubtful, all plans for her admission
with Dakota would fail. Mr.. Wallace re-
! ferred in complimentary terms to the
rapid growth of Great Falls and conclud-
ed amid applause.
Mr.. Collins-I now have the pleasure
I Of introducing a special favorite in Great
Falls, the gentleman who has represent
ed this territory, in congress, for the last
four years, the Hon. Joseph X. Toole.
| (Applause.)
\ A SPIRITED ADDRESS.
| Mr.. Toole who was received with
cheers, said Fellow citizens, l deem it
privilege to be with you on this auspi-
cious occasion, when Cascade county
takes her place in the democratic fold
and heads the procession which is mar
ching on to certain victory. (Cheers) |
| rejoice that where there are evidences of
thrift and prosperity on every hand, the
tunes politically with the democratic party
Il
| last so long as virtue is esteemed and lib
erty loved. (Cheers.)
A word or two in regard to the admin
istration Of Grover Cleveland which had
not been in power two years before it
| justified the hopes Of the democratic
masses and falsitied the predictions Of
the republican party. In the present
struggle for political supremency we
NAV point with confidence to the
efforts of the party under his guidance to
reduce the public burdens. Grover
Cleveland is strong in what he represents
as we'll as what he opposes. He has de-
monstrated that the highest honors are
open to every citizen who merits them
and his public service are such that every
democrat who is not absorbed in private
gains incompatible with the public good
is engaged in urging his reelection
(Cheers.)
If our Mr.. Carter is not modest he is
not anything Q4aughter) | have seen
the house of representatives bowed in
presence of the bier of a chief justice but
the solemnlty of that occasion would be
outdone should Mr.. Carter carry out his
: threat and stalk down the house to pro-
\ claim twithout fear, favor or affection
; that the Mills bill must die where it is
Laughter. The bill which has with
. stood the assaults Of the republican party
for SIX months, will in the awful pres
ence of the CORY member from Montana
languishlng die. When ante morten
INQUIRY is made before this comes to pass
? the bill will say: II am dying. Carte
killed me: he killed me with his gall.
