A Plain Talk on Simple Facts-Con-
 trast Between American and English
 Wages-whas Free Trade COmpeSI-
 ton Would Do.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 20.-General Harrison addressed large body of drummers to-day. In the course of his speech he said: do not need to repeat what have said on former occasions that I very highly value the re- spect and confidence of the commercial trav- elers of the United States. (Cheers.) I value it because believe they give their adher- ence to the party whose candidate I am, upon an intelligent investi- gation and upon an earnest conviction of what is good for the country of which they are citizens. [Cheers.l Who would be able better than you to know the commercial and business needs of our countryi You whose hand is every day upon the business pulse of the people; you who travel the country up and down on all the swift high ways of commerce and who are brought in contact with the business men of the country, not only in in our great centers of commerce, but in all the hamlets of the land.
 I believe I may say for you that, as re- suit of this personal knowledge of our busi- nees needs, your have concluded that the policy for Americans is the policy of pro- tectiYe tariff (Great cheering.) There are
 
 great American manufacturing estab- lishments, and who should know better than they the prostrating effects up- on the industries they represent of this policy & revenue tariff, or the not much different policy of free trade. (Cheers.) Who should know better than you that if the discriminating duties now levied which enable our American manufacturers to maintain 8 fair competition with the manu- faoturers of other countries, and at the same time to pay a scale of living wages to the men and women who work for them are once broken down that American competition with foreign production becomes impossible, except by tie reduction of the scale of American wages to the level of the wages paid abroad. [Cheers.l
 Certainly you do not need to be told that that shop or mill that has the smallest pay roll in proportion to it's production will take the market. (Cheers.) Surely you do not need to be told that the wages now enjoyed by our American workmen are greatly larger and the comforts they enjoy greatly more than those enjoyed by the working people of any other land. (Cheers) Certainly you do not need to be told that if the American government, instead of patronizing home industries, buys it's blankets for the public service in England that this is just that much less work for American workmen to do. (Cheers.) This is to me the beginning and the end of the tariff question. Since l was old enough to have opinions, to utter them, have held to the doctrine that the true American policy was that which should ! maintain not only living rate of wages, but ' one with margin for savings and comfort \ for our workingmen.
 believe that policy is essential to the pros- perity and possibility to the perpetuity of our \ government. (Cheers.) The two propositions | that now stare our working people and our whole country in the face are thesei Compe- tition with foreign countries, without ade' ! quate discrimination and favoring duties, means lower wages to our working people.
