PRACTICAL STATISTICS.
Mr.. Wilson went into statistics and
explained how the American taxpayer
had been defrauded, paying $l.05 tax on
a piece Of cloth tha, cost him 800. ln
the name OF Heaven, why can't we give
these people cheaper clothing, cheaper
tool. with which to work. cheaper food
and cheaper living all the way through.
The Mills .ili. (spplause) named after
the Honorable Chairman OF the Commit
tee on WAYS and Means has shown how
American labor will be benefited; how
her exports will be largely increased how
every working man could get work by
the Increase iu manufactures: how trade
would greatly increase in every respect,
and the farmer, the mechanic and the Ia
DDrcT benefited.
We produce more manufactures, said
he. than we can consume. We must have
field for the sale Of our
manufactures. and Il is known. as stated
By the Secretary Of the Treasury, that If
All the factories ran six months they
could supply the whole demand for
home consumpiion, thus leaving the fac
tories idle the yem ming six. What can
mechanic gain by working half of the
time and loafug the other half; Our
duty is TO get the market OF the world by
the importation of raw materials. Then
every factory will boom and our mechan-
les and labCrtrs have work all ;he year
round.

The heavy tariff is for the increase OF

will let il be known and the labo.ers
will flow across the border and work for
me. The whole thing is not the benefit
of labor. but the increase of capital, who
buys his labor where be gets it the
cheapest.
Wages are higher in this country, not
because OF protection, but because the
laborer is more intelligent, and because
he lives in a land where everything Il,
free. where c0nscIiption is unknown, the
right Of meeting unfeitered, and where
we have handed down TO Us from the
father Of the Republic a freedom OF ac-
tiOn.
The man in England to-day has no
avenue of escape from the plsce where
his birth pu; lin. Ia the seats OF this
hou.e ! could seat the owners Of all the
land in The entire Uui,ed Kingdom.
TIE OLD ROMAN.
A reference was made to Allen G..
Thurman's entry in the city of Chicago
and the grand applause the humbest
man extended him. knowing that at some
future day lis son could have the chance
of receiving the same applause. The
rulers OF the Democratic party who have
filled our highest position have come up
from the people.
The speaker then paid his respects 20
Tue SUGAR TRUST,
which Mr. Blaine said WAS nobody :
business. He explained that one-tenth
os the sugsr consumed III the United
States was made here The other nine
tenths was Imported and he explained
how few refners had made a trust and
raised the price Of sugar nearly double,
and how. under its operation one man
bough: al the raw sugar and made $50,
OO0.0 .0eO extra per year,al under the theory
that the protective taiiif was the poor
mans friend.
He wanted it rung in the ears Of every
man
THE WORDS OF CARNEGIE,
Capital can wait for It's dividends, bu,
labor can't wait for breakfast" He
elected loud applause when he referred
to the deliberate utierances OF Mr.
Blaine. who had taken a ride with Carne-
pie: These trusts are not Mr. Cleye-
lands or any other American ciizen's
business" We must make all we can
cut of the poor man. 1t is against this
doctrine that Grover Cleveland is op-
posed II you want TO see labor plum
dered and taxation increased. that CAPT
tai may flourish, then vote for Harrison;
but il YOU want TO maintain your own
self-res eot, want your sons TO arrive at
high places, want to live at small ex-
penss, want TO retain the glorious her
itage of your .athers, vote for Cleveland
and Thurman.
Mr Wilson concluded amid loud ap-
plause, and after music by the band,
Chairman Ryan stated that Colonel r..
+. Bierne. Elector at Large, would intro
duce Mr.. Mills.
Mr.. Bierne in few words gracefully
introduced
HON. ROGER q, MILLS,
of Texas, who was greeted with cheers
and applause that lasted five minutes
He began by saying that he also was a
grandson of Virginia. He was born in
Kentucky, the first born OF Virginia.
His father was Virginian from Orange
county, which Ran. Tucker said was too
poor to give birth TO anything but men.
