evening OF the republican nominees: II believe lu
Is ticket that will grow stronger until the day OF
the election. We have had tickets OF enthusi asm
before. This ticket commands and represents the
full strength OF the republican party. No repubi-
can convention has adjourned since the war with
everybody accepting the result as unanimously as
this convention adjourned New York demanded
Harrison, and Indiana offered him, and Connecti-
cut approved OF him and New Jersey accepted him,
and California adopted him. These are the states
that can elect him. They have given bond to go
republican, and believe they will do II. The re-
publican party Will have very little campaign FUND
as against the opulent fund that many large In
terests will provide the democrats, but i believe
this is one OF the elements or our strength. be-
iteve We can make a strong and winning fight on
principle and without money. In my Judgment
money used In a campaign Is an element OF weak
ness 10 any party"

injuriously all the lower grades of goods that is to say, goods such as the mechanic or the farmer and the workingman needs. Such goods have to pay duty of 80 to 100 per cent, whereas the finer grades, which he cannot afford to touch, would not pay a duty equal to 40 or 90 per cent"

TAX THE wORkNGMAN.

The republican party, which about
 election time has very warm interest in
 the workingman, is always willing to benefit and protect him by putting up the price of those things which are indispensa- ble to his comfort and existence. The policy of the party neans for him higher taxation and discrimination in favor of the rich. He gets up in the morning and dons
 his flannel shirt which is taxed 95 per cent. He puts on his coat which is taxed
 g per cent. When he picks mp his shoes he sees then labeled with B per cent tax, and 65 per cent is levied on the hat he wears on his head. He draws water with
 bucket taxed 35 per cent and washes his hands and face in tin bowl taxed S5 per cent, drying them on cheap cotton towel taxed 45 per cent. He sits down with his family to the morning breakfast and he feeds from a plate that is taxed 60 per cent with a knife and fork taxed 35 per cent. The sugar he puts into his coffee is taxed S2 and the salt with which he seasons his food is made dearer by tax of 40 per cent. A 1S2 per cent tax makes his even ing smoke pleasant and comfortable, and when he reads chapter from the family Bible he finds it made more blessed by carrying 25 per cent tax. The carpet on which he kneels ere he Hays him down to sleep" is made softer by 5l per cent tax, and when he gets to bed he lays himself between pair of sheets that carry 42 per cent tax and wraps himself in blanket that is taxed 104 per cent. "God bless our home" looks down in it's mute appeal upon his peaceful slumbers, and as he lifts his eyes in holy supplication he sees the shadow of heavy tax upon it all
 And the republicans would kindly add a few more of the tax blessings rather than surrender any part of the protective system of which Mir D. McKeever, 8 large importer of dry goods, told the tariff commission in 1889: '.The rates at present, consisting of ad yalorsm and specific duties, affect very
