Another liIg Delegation Calls on IIim-He
Makes Telling Speech.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Sept. 2O.-This
evening about 300 of those who are ex-
hibiting implements and machinery Of
one kind or another at the State fair,
called on General Harrison at his resi-
dencc and spent an hour with him. In
response to their greeting, the General
said: =,
"IY FRIENDs:-When l was asked
yesterday whether it would be agree
able TO me to see about 100 gentlemen
who were here in attendance upon the
Indiana State Fair and connected with
the exhibit OF machinery, ] was assured
their call would he OF the most informal
character; that they would simply visit
me, and spend few moments socially.
Laughter and cries OF Here we are.
Until l heard the music OF your band and
saw the torchlights, that was my under
standing for what was in store for me
this evening. am again the victim OF
a misunderstanding. Laughter and up
plause. Still, though my 100 guests
have been multiplied several times, and
though find myself compelled to speak
to you enrnasse, rather than individual
ly, am glad to see you. thank you
for your visit and for the cordial
terms in which you have addressed me.
What your speaker has said rs to the ia
vorable condition ofour working people
is true. And we are fortunate in the
fact that we do not need to depend for
evidence upon statistics or the reports
OF those who casually visitthe countries
OF the old world. There is probably not
a shop represented here that has not
among its workingmen those who have
tried the conditions OF life in the old
countries and arc able to speak
from personal experience. II can
not be doubted that our Ameri-
lean system OF leyying discriminating
duties upon competing foreign products
has much to do with the better condi-
ton OF our working people. welcome
you rs representatives OF one OF the
great industries OF our countries. The
demands of the farm have been met by
the ingenuity oil your shops. The i'm
proyement in farm machinery within
my own recollection has been marvel-
GUS. The scythe and the cradle still
held control in the harvest field when l
first went out to carry the noon meal to
the workmen. Afterwards it sometimes
fell to my lot in the bayfield, to drive one
Of the old-fashioned combination reap
ers and mowers. 1t was u great advance
over the scythe and cradle, and yet it
was heavy and clumsy, very horse
killer. Much laughter and applause.l
When the driver struck stump the
horses had no power over the machine
in either direction. Now these machines
have been so lightened and improved
that they are the perfection OF mechanic
ism. Your inventive genius has re-
sponded to the necessities OF the farm
until now that which was drudgery has
become light and easy. ! thank you
again for your call, and will be glad to
meet personally those strangers who
are here, IApplause.

Which ara Against Him,
RICHMoND, IND, Sept. 20.-The dem
onstration here to-day on theoccasion OF
the appearance OF Roger Q. Mills, the
Democratic leader of the House of Rep
resentatives, was abundantly gratifying
to the local Democracy. A large crowd
had assembled at Glen Mills, a beautiful
grove in the edge OF the city where the
meeting was held.
Mr., Mills on rising was greeted with
ringing round OF cheers, and ut once be-
gan his speech, He quoted at the begin
ming from Mr.. Blaine's New York speech
that capital was able to take care Of itself;
that the question in this campaign was
one Of labor, labor from the skin to the
core, and from the core back TO the skin
again. Mr.. Mills said he would accept
that definition, and he proposed TO show
that the Democratic party was now, us
it always had been, the true friend OF
labor and OF the labor mana PROPOSE.
ton that evoked the first outburst OF
general applause. BY way of proof
he cited the enormous taxation
imposed by the Republican party
during and after the war, until the in:
come began to be beyond the needs OF
the government. He then called atten-
ton to the fact that when the Republi'
cans began to reduce the burden they
did not begin to take the taxes of the
poor, but directly Off the rich. The in
come tax, for instance, was one affecting
but few Of the people Of the country,
and they all well.to-do, was among the

Tossing to be the friend OF the toiling
M. Alills denied that the Democrats
favored Free Trade, and quoted the very
small reduction Of the tariff as presented
in the Mills bill.
Mr.. Mills went on with different arti-
cles enumerated in his bill, on which
there was q reduction Of the tariff, to
show how in each case the protection,
which the Republicans insisted on, did
not protect the workingmen, but did
protect the thing made by the working
men, and that in every case the benefit
J OF the protection went to the taanuiae'
turer-the master, and not IN the man.

CANTON NEATLY SHUT OUT.

Games Yesterday.


Games Yesterday.
Yesterday the Wheeling and Canton
ball teams met again. This time the
Wheeling team was brilliant and DASH
ing in its play at all points, being notice.
ably strong at the bat, when twenty-four
hours previous, it had shown no batting
ability whatever. The Cantons, in
marked contrast with what they were
the day before, were weak at the bat,
not being able to hit even a little
bit, and unreliable in the. field.
They were shut out by u
score of Z to Q. The crowd did not
number over seventy-tiye. The very
poor work OF Wheeling the day before
sickened people. Yesterdays work
would have enthused them.
The Wheeling remains appeared re.
yived and terminated to an extent that
its most intimate friends almost failed
to recognize them. They played great
ball from start to finish. Knauss
pitched one OF the best games he has
ever been known to. The hitting was
timely.
To-day and tomorrow the Mansfield
team will appear. They put up strong
game at Columbus yesterday, and will
probably do the same here.
The score OF yesterdays game is us

He then took up the iron schedule,
stating that the Mills bill made reduc-
ton OF 50 30 on the 500 worth OF iron
and steel. He compared the labor cost
ofiron in Englandand the United States.
"0ur high priced labor only amounts
TO 81 50 a ton; suppose theirs is IS cents
ton; then If we make duty OF 20
cents ON pig iron that would cover the
difference between England and the
United States; then the cost Of trans
portation from Liverpool would be S2 a
ton,swhich would be an ample margin
for profit. We reduce the duty on pig
iron only 62 cents, leaving It at six dol
lars. That is for labor. We left the
pig iron manufacturers six dollars a
ton, which they tell us they want
for their laborers, and yet they only pay
their laborers 81 % OF it. Why the
devil don't they pay the balance OF 1t?
There is no statute that prevents them
from paying this money that is placed
in their hands by Congress in trust to
pay their laborers."

4lIE ClIINESR BILL

Mr. Morrow's Resolution Demanding Its
Transmission to the President not RE-
ceIVed.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 2O-Mr.
Morrow, OF California, us question OF
privilege, offered a resolution in the
House to-day, reciting the passage OF the
Chinese bill by the House and Senate,
the signing of enrolled bill by the pre-
siding officers of the two houses, its
delivery to the Committee oil Enrolled
Bills and the fact that it is now in
possession OF the acting chairman, Mr..
Kilgore. II further recites a report in
the Washington Post that the bill is
being withheld IRON the President by
the Committee on Enrolled Bills, and
declares that such Action Of the commit
tee is without authority Of law. 1t di-
reefs the Committee on Enrolled Bills
to transmit the bill to the President
without further delay.
Mr.. McAIillin, OF Tennessee, raised the
point OF order that the resolution did
not present question OF privilege.
There WAS no allegation OF a delay in the
transmission Of the bill that was unrea-
sonahle or unusual, AS matter Of fact
there were other cases in which the de-
lay had been much greater than in the
present case.
Mr.. Morrow said that he had been told
by MIR. Kilgore this morning that the
bill was still in his possession. II bill
could be withheld for day it could be
withheld for six months. The unwritten
rules Of the House required that bill
should be delivered promptly to the
President.
Mr.. McNTillen said that when the gen.
tlCman sought to smirCh colleague, he
ought to have the law on his side.
Would the gentleman point out the rule
which fixed any particular time within
which bills should be transmitted 10 the
PRESIDENT
Mr.. Morrow replied that there were
no rule he knew Of, but it was the un-
written law which governs the orderly
proceedings OF House OF this character.
The debate. was continued at some
length by Representatives Mckenna,
Morrow, McNlillen and Howell. after
which the Speaker pro TEN. sustained
the point of order. There was no law or
rule prescribing the manner in which a
bill should be transmitted to the Presi-
dent, but the practice had grown up OF
cntrusting the duty to the committee on
Enrolled Bills. While sustaining the
point OF order, he was not prepared to
say that il the resolution was again
