HON. GEO. W. CASSIDY, OUR NEXf con.
GRESHAM,
Who was received with q hearty round
Of applause.
Mr.. Cassidy thanked the people Of Ely
for The welcome accorded him, and went
right TO the discussion Of the issues in
volved in the present campaign, his
| speech being an off.hand, impromptu ef'
fort.
THE NAVY
! First claimed his attention, and he
showed clearly that in three years a De-
| mocratic administration had done more
10 build up an American navy than the
| Republican party had done in twenty
years.
PUBLIC LANDS.
The speaker next a~rraigned the Repub'
| lican party for its wonton profigaey In
| giving away the public domain 30 corpor-
atiors and trusts, and showedbythereeotd
| howin three short years a Democratic sd.
min!strstiou had restored back 10 the peo-
! pie 500, 900, 600 acres Of the stolen public
lards.
THE SILVER QUESTION.
While admitting that President Cleye-
land was. like most Eastern people, IN.
friendly to silver, Mr.. Cassidy showed
by the record that nime-tenshs OF
the Democratic representatives, 10
both Houses OF Congress were the
friends of the white metal, while nine
tenths of the Republicans were its deadly
foes.
THE CHINESE.
Harrison's Chinese record was NEXT re-
ferred TO and the Republican Presiden.
tial candidates course in the Senate did
not show up well on that question under
( Cassidy's calcium light. Whatever
tended TO exclusive legislation On this
question came from the Democratic
party.
THE FISHERY TREATY,
Mr.. Cassidy considered a just and fair
settlement for our troubles with our
Canadian neighbors, In which all the
rights and privileges ever contensed for
by American fishermen were fully con
coded. He regretted that a partisan
Senate had refused TO ratity the treaty.
He declared President Cleveland was
in fact as well as name the Chief Execu.
tive Of the nation, aud in the discharge
of his duties displayed more backbone
than any Of his predecessors since Jack
son.
THE GOLD ROMAN"
An a~llusion TO Thurman, our caDdi.
date for Vice President-always the PEG
Piles friend-was greeted with hearty
applause and the waving Of red ban
danas.
THE TARIFf-NO FREE RADE.
Mr.. Cassidy declared it as his firm
conviction that there was no free trade
party in this oontry and never could be
As long as $3.50, 900, 900 had to be raised
annually from impost duties to carry or
the Government. This Of itself was a
protective tariff, which no one desired
TO abolish. To lump it, the impost tar
Of the country is now AZ per cent and
A. -.-.kar ~ 1pAsakfa articles A E00
The Mills bill reduces this to 10 per cent
and only 300 of the 1900 dutiable arti
cles are affected by the reduction. And
this our Republican friends call free
tradel How preposterous.
Mr.. Cassidy explained the tariff issut
as we never heard il explained before
making this usually abstruee and befog
ged question plain TO his hearers. Wha'
the Democratic party wanted to do il
reducing the tariff was to make areduc'
tion on those articles that enters largely
into the consumption Of the great mass o.
the people.
A RON POINT.
Does protection protect American
labor? Mr.. Cassidy showed that IL doei
not by proofs so plain that they cannoI
be controversial. II Is only the manu-
facturer who is protected. In Pennsyl
~vania, the best protected State in the
Union, American workmen had beer
driven out by the protected lords and
their places filed by hordes OF imported
pauper labor. The protected industries
there did not pay as high wages as thos,
who had no projection az all.
HOW P%ROTRCTIOY PROTECTS THE La
IN NEVADA.
Wool, lead, copper and borax are the
only protected industries OF Nevada.
Wool Is taxed 10 cents per pound. Dc
sheepmen pay their herders better
wages than cattlemen or ranchers, who
have no protection at slll No. They
pay lower wages, give poorer accommo-
dations to their employees, and hire the
cheapest labor they can find. lMr.
Cassidy did not say this, but we do
Ed. News. Bat, continued Mr.. Cas-.
sidy, II protection protects the miner.
how is it that those working In lead,
copper and borax do not receive higher
wages than the silver miner who has nc
protection at all. He instanced Eureka,
one Of the largest lead mining districts
IN the COGutfl, anu Nhilh IVES tHt uIsL
in Nevada to reduce miners wages. This
cry Of projection for American labor is a
delusion and a fraud.
2BRS0SAI.
Mr.. Cassicy E~sferred to his past course
in Congress. There he was the Repre-.
sentative of all the people of Nevada, ir.
respective Of party. His interest and
those Of the people were the same. Dur.
