Harrison this morning entered upon his
fourteenth week Of public reception
speeches. The first delegation of the week
arrived about 8 O'Clock. 1t was a small
band of thirty-fve republicans from the
town OF Tower, Mimi, several of the party
being from Duluth, in a special car. They
carried a couple Of tons of samples Of
rich VermiIlion range iron ore. Each
sample was tied to a label and at every town
along the route a large number of speci-
mems were thrown ont. This morning they
walked out to General Harrison residence,
coded 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
Blrr7Ut, editor or the FermllllOn I on
journal, introduced each member. There
was no speech-making.
HARRISON sPEAEs.
Delegations from Fulton and Marshall
counties, numbering between 700 and 1000,
called on General Harrison this afternoon.
The visitors were chiefly farmers from the
vicinity of Plymouth and Rochester. The
weather continuing cool, outdoor ptiOns
IN University park or elsewhere, have been
ingly escorted to Pfahn's hail, on Penn
sylvania avenue. General Harrison spoke
as follows:
It IS encouraging to hear that the prosper
Gus and intelligent farmers of Marshall and
Fulton counties have not been mi5led 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
umu the agricultural voters. Not
by showing them favor, but the
reyerse-by placing agricultural pro
ducts on the free list, thus Withdrawing

ceiving from our tariff laws as affecting the
produces of his labor hoping that. the
farmers might then be relied upon to pull
down the rest of the structure. I am glad
to believe that We have in Indiana class
of farmers too intelligent to be caught by
these unfriendly propositions.
had to-day a 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
great deposit Of iron ore, especially adapted
to the manufacture of steel Within the
four years since the mines were 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 good
illustration of the interlOckiug of interests
betWesn5 widely separated states of the
union, new market and a larger demand
for Indiana coal.
The attempt Is often made to create the
impression that only particular classes of
WOrkingmen 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 a direct
and essential relation to the scale of wages
that is paid to skilled labor. One

grade of cotton cloth, without affecting
the price of lower grades, as to say that you
can degrade the price of skilled labor with
This attempt to classify the schedules the
men who are benefited by a protective
tariff, Is utterly deceptive. Applause
The benefits are felt by all classes of orr
people; by the farmers as well as by the
workmen IN our mills, by the man
who works on the street as we'll
as the skilled labOrer who works
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. It Is a policy broad
enough to embrace within the scoops of its
benencient influence all our population
thank yOu for your visit and viii be glad to
meet any Of you personally who desire to
speak to me.
The visitors then fled by and shook hands
with ths 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 8r. Miller with
the generals correspondence.
Mrs. Harrison was the recipient to-day of
q handsome present from Miss Mary A.
Williamson, Of Lafayette, Ind. 1t Is an

merit, of which she IS an excellent judge,
being an artist herself.
Another recent gift from Mrs. McLaugh-

an emblem of hard cider days, which was
worn by the dOnatOr's aunt, forty eight
years ago.
There is a strong probability that Hon.
Levi P Morton will be one of the distin-
guished visitors to arrive at Indianapolis on
the 1lth inst. 1t IS understood he promised
several weeks ago to visit Indianapolis dur
