Hall Packed to she Doors Yesterday
 Addresses by F. D. PaVey, Judge
 L. E. MunSOn, John Jones of Rome, N. E., and Oshers-Am EnshusiasGlc Gatherfng-Great Activity Among Republican Workers.
 The usual large crowd of prominent citi-
 zens attended the meeting of the Business
 and Workingmen's Campaign club yesterday noon.
 President Esterbrook introduced as the first speaker young man who he said had often
 lifted up his voice in favor of protection, Mr. F. D. PAvey.
 The speaker said he had studied the posi- tion of both parties and thought the only deed to recommend the Democratic and tariff reform parties at alb5to the voters of the country was their skilful lodging of the main question.
 He then briefly sketched the objects and necessities of @ revenue and stated that it must either be raised by tax on foreign goods sent here or on our own domestic products. At the same time he showed that by raising revenue on imported goods we both accom- plish the main object and protect our home
 industry. ''The only question is," said he,
 whether we shall cripple our own or foreign industries to support the government" He then demonstrated how, if the enemies of protection made tariff, they would make
 it in such way as would, if possible, cast reproach upon the doctrine of protection while it secretly helped free trade along
 'fThe only result of such a system,n B said he,
 "could be to bring discredit upon the whole
 tariff system. Placing one thing on the free
 list and averaging up don't help matters at all"
 Judge L. E. Munson was then called on.
 The judge paid an exquisite tribute to the national Republican candidates and said that their patriotism wasn't meas ured by thickness of neck, size of collar or said he, "who bared their bosoms to the shock and frs of battle in their zeal to save their imperilled country" Continuing the judge spictared the stand Of the parties in
 this campaign, and declared the bugle notes
 were already sounding for the fray. s'The red bandanna cannot wave victoriously; it
 will go down beside the conquered rebel flag and tue hope of the South must again be crushed. The boast of southern Democrats Is that the Democratic party stands to-day as 1t always has, and lives on the records of the past. That Cleveland and Thurman are all the party could desire, and the red ban danna deserves to be Haunted beside the old confederate flag. If Cleveland is elected the people emphatieally declare that the inns mense farce that his promise of reform has
 been pleasing to them. They will not SUD- port him. It would be the death blow to reform"
 Turning his attention to the early history of the Democratic party the Judge related how Polk was elected upon the popular cry for the tariff of 42, and how when elected, the South raised hue and cry to have this tariff law abolished, and it was so done.
 Then, /" said the speaker, "when we approx imated to free trade was seen the greatest period of misery the country has experi- enoed. Men were seen about the streets in rags and thousands starved, because of the terrific stagnation of business" eve open our markets to the people of the world, 9 said he, "and require them to conform to certain conditions before we let them bring any pressure to bear upon our workmen. And when the pressure comes the foreign producers have paid so much for the privilege that we have nothing for the bonus is all in the pockets of Ameri- can laborers. The hope of England is for Cleveland's election, that the free trade wedge in the shape of the Mills or some oth- CT bill may be finally and firmly entered into our prosperity, ready to rend it to atoms"
 The judge then told of his recent trip through the West. Everybody out theren said he, 'seems to be falling into the Re publican ranks, irrespective of party. II don't think any of the old free States are doubtful except New Jersey, and Harrison is the coming man."
 Mr. John Jones, an Englishman who has been in this country eighteen years, and is in | business in Rome, N. Y. gave many val- | lable statistics about the tin manufacture in | tngland and contrssted the excellent condis | ion of labor of that class in this country. | lis speech was most interesting and proved | exclusively that the tariff isn't now sufi- ient on tin. The meeting then adjourned IntiI
