the democratic party as the friend Of tho

Some one may say that IL is the southern

DISPATCH FROM CIEyEIANn
At the conclusion of Judge Thurman'a
speech the following message was read:
very much regret that Mrs. Cleveland and
myself must deny ourselves the pleasure OF
being present at the exposition on Democratic
day, and we can only say that our disappoints
ment is greater than those who have kindly inA
yited US. GROVER CLEVELAND.
CARLIsLE's SPEECH.
Speaker Carlisle said in part:
There is no part Of the people Of the Unitedf
States who are so much Indebted to the detnoT
cratic party and democratic principles for theirl
prosperity and growth the people of rhal
great northwest. To 1t you owe, In the flrsbi
place, the vast territory which you inherit; toll
1t you owe the religious liberty which was es<1
tablished for all time In the northwest by thel
ordinance OF 17S7; TO IL you owe exemption I'M
that ordinance from the institution of slaverys1
He then referred to the convention atl
Vincennes, Ind, presided over by WilliamI
Henry Harrison in 1902, which petitionedl
the continental congress to set aside thej
sixth article of tho ordinance of 1857 andl
establish slavery in the northwest territory.i
ADVERSELY REPORTED.
He said:
That petition upon being sent to conpressi
and referred To committe was reported againstl
by John Randolph of Roanoke, Va and al
democrat. When the ordinance of i7gY wasiI
passed, there we're present only representative
Of eight states,iv OF which were southern, and1
not a single state voted against that ordinance.1
and the only individual representative who
voted against 1t was Mr.. Yates of New York.
The republican argument is that II the proxi
ducts of foreign labor are admitted into this
country free Of duty, or with low rate OF duty,d
wages OF aboring men must be equalized and
that they will be equalized not by increasing
rates Ia foreign lands, but by decreasing thel
wages at home.
REPUTATION
One single fact in our history will refute that
proposition. Absolute free trade exists between
the thirty eight states Of this union, and yet the
wages OF the various states are not equalixed.
Statistics show that in some occupations 80 ped
cent, and In some rs per cent. more wages ara
paid ia Chicago than IN New York. / am noH
arguing to show that free trade would be good
thing in this country; am not arguing even to,
revenue TeUM % duty upon imported pJ goods would be-
u good thing, but l simply answerings
the republican theory. do believe that res,
ductiou OIL taxes upon the necessities of nfoi
would be Of infinite advantage, not only to theli
laboring men, but 20 all the people Of this coun-
try, thus enabling our manufacturers TO enteri
all the great markets Of the world. But dol
not believe that by so doing IL Will reduce theA
wages paid TO laboring men In this country
WE ARE PROTECTING ENGLAND.
II this Is done the United States will have ac-
cess 20 all the best markets of the world, andil
England will cease TO be protected by the lawa.l
OF the United States. am In favor of reducingt
taxes, not only to relieve the laboring man.
but also because 10 is absolutely necessary tot
reduce the surplus revenues OF the government
Some of our republican friends, during the late
debate in the House, rdiculed the idea. Some
OF them denied that there was a surplus and
some Of them went 80 far as TO say that II waaa
a good thing anyhow. There are two ways or
reducing revenues: One is by reducing taxes
that Is the old fashioned democratic way. The \
other is by increasing the taxes upon inn
ported goods 10 such q rate as 90 be
prohbtory, and therefore prevent the govern
inent from receiving any duties That is tLa
newfashioned republican plan.
He concluded by referring to the candi.
dates in the field. To President Cleveland, he
referred as II grand representative of delno-
cratic principles; TO Judge Thurman as a
man whose very presence Is an inspiration
to the democracy Of this land; to Gen.
Harrison as a very respectable LAWYER out
in indianapolis, and TO Hon. l.. p. Morton
as a very rich banker on Wall street.
