BAYARD TALKS TARIFF REFORM.

Wilmington, Delaware.

The State Secretary on the Stump at
Wilmington, Delaware.
WILMINGTON, Del, Oct. 9-Secretary
Bayard spoke here last night, fully 5000 per-
sons crowding themselves into the Opera
house. He spoke for three hours, and almost
the entire speech was devoted to defense
of the Mills bill and criticism of the propo
sition of the Republican senate. The tariff
had nothing to do with wages, said the
speaker; they depended upon the productive
ness of labor. High wages in America pro-
duced cheaper goods than low wages in
India. 1t was folly to believe that laws were
necessary to enable manu- facturers to enable
somebody else to make a living. The
benefit of the law never got any
further than the manufacturer. He
despised the idea that the chance of any
American to work should depend upon any
body The only protection the American
citizen needed was of just and equal laws.
He treated the tariff as a tax during his en-
tire argument, and in conclusion he cited le-
| gal decisions to prove the illegality and I'M
| constitutionality of a tax that took cent
more than was needed for public purposes.
The speaker wished to see a happy blending
| of the interests Of the manufacturers and the
laborers. The speech closed at 1l:20 with
three cheers for Bayard, and three more for
e Cleveland and Thurman
