Harrison this morning entered upon his
fourteenth week of public reception
speeches. The first delegation of the week
arrived about O'Clock. 1t was a small
band of thirty-ive republicans from the
town of Tower, Mimi, several of the party
being from Duluth, in q special car. They
carried couple of tons of samples Of
rich Vermillion range iron ore. Each
sample was tied to label and at every town
along the route a large number of speci-
mems were thrown out. This morning they
walked out to General Harrison's residence,
ceded by dray bearing huge specimen
of iron ore, weighing over 500 pounds. This
was placed in the generals front yard. They
were cordially received in the parlors By
both general and Mrs. Harrison. DR.. Fred
Burrett, editor of thu Vermillion lion
journal, introduced each member. There
was no speech-making.
HARRISON SPEAKS.
Delegations from Fulton and Marshall
counties, numbering bet xeen 100 and LOCO,
called on General Harrison this afternoon.
The visitors we're chiefly farmers from the
vicinity of Plymouth and Rochester. The
weather continuing cool, outdoor receptions
in University park or elsewhere, have been
abandoned. The delegations were accord
ngly escorted to Pfaffin's hall, on PENN
syIvania avenue. General Harrison spoke
as follows:
1t is encouraging to hear that the prosper
ous and intelligent farmers of Marshall and
Fulton counties have not been misled by the
attempt to separate the agricultural vote
from the vote of the shops. Il has seemed
to me that the Mills bill was framed for the
purpose of driving from the protection col
umn the agricultural voters. Not
by showing them favor, but the
reverse-by, placing agricultural pro-
, ducts on the free list, thus withdrawing
from the farmer the direct benefits he is re-
ceiving from our tariff laws as affecting the
products of his labor, hoping that the
farmers might then be relied upon to pull
down the rest of the structure. l am glad
to believe that We have in Indiana a class
of farmers too intelligent to be caught by
these unfriendly propositions.
had to-day visit from twenty or more
gentlemen who came from the town OF
Tower, in the most northern portion of
Minnesota, where within the last four years
there has been discovered and developed q
great deposit of iron ore, especially adapted
to the manufacture of steel. Within the
four years since the mines we're opened,
they tell me that about 100000 tons
of ore has been mined and sent to the
furnaces. They also mentioned the fact
that arrangements are already being made
to bring the block coal of Indiana to the
mouth of these iron mines, that the work of
smelling may be done there. This is a good
illustration of the interlocking of interests
between. widely separated states of the
union, a new market and larger demand
for Indiana coal.
The attempt is often made to create the
impression that only particular classes of
workingmer are benefited by a protective
tariff. There can be nothing more untrue.
The wages of all labor, labor upon the
farm, labor upon our streets, has direct
and essential relation to the scale of wages
that is paid to skilled labor. One
might es well say that you could
bring down the price of higher
grade of cotton cloth. without affecting
the price of lower grades, as to say that you
out degrading the wages of unskilled labor.
This attempt to classify the schedules. the
mon who are benefited by a protective
tariff, is utterly deceptive. [Applause.
The benefits are felt by all classes of our
people; by the farmers as well as By the
workmen in our mills, by the man
who works on the street as well
in the mill. by the women in the household
and by the children who are now in the
schools, and who might otherwise be in the
mills. [Applause. 1t is q policy broad
enough to embrace within the scope of its
beneIicient influence all our population.
thank you for your visit and will be glad to
meet any of you personally who desire to
speak to me.
The visitors then fled by and shook hands
with the general.
Colonel d. s. Alexander, of Buffalo, who
acted as General Harrison's secretary in the
earlier weeks of the campaign, has returned
and is temporarily assisting MIR. Miller with
the generals correspondence.
Mrs. Harrison was the recipient today Of
a handsome present from Miss Mary A.
Williamson, of Lafayette. Ind. It is an
cuted by the donor. It represents
a view of the Tppecanoe battle ground, en-
closed by an arch emblematic of the bow of
promise. The border is oak burrs and
leaves. the whole painted on boiling cloth
with small beads and silk worked into the
outlines of the leaves. Mrs. Harrison
prizes the gift highly because of its artistic
merit, of which she is an excellent Judge.
being an artist herself.
Another recent gift from Mrs. McLaugh-
lin, of Cincinnati, is a miniature gold barrel,
an emblem of hard cider days, which was
worn by the donator's aunt, forty eight
years ago.

Levi P Morton will be one of the distin-
guished visitors to arrive at Indianapolis on
the 11th inst. It is understood he promised
several weeks ago to visit Indianapolis dur
ing the campaign, and that hs will. If pos
sible, make it convenient to be there the
same day that Senator John Sherman, Mr..
Blame, General Algsr. Governor Oglesby
and Foraker, General Gibson and others are
expected.
General Hovey and Corporal Tanner
spoke tonight at Martinsville, Senator
Turpie at Knox.
Political meetings at all points in the
state, both democratic and republican, are
being more largely attended than in any
previous campaign in the history of In
diana. Crowds of 5000 and even 10000 as
semble at little cross roads and villages on
two or three days notice.
Perhaps no speaker in the state, unless it
be Tanner, il addressing moro people and
larger crovds than Colonel Matson, the
democratic candidate for governor.
AN INTERESTING DAY.
