Foley.

Clinton Lloyd, of Williamsport, Pa,
spoke in Pedricktown on Wednesday
evening and expounded thesR epublican
policy in this campaigh?1Hc~ said he
could hot see why New Jersey should
not be ii Republican state like Pennsyl-
wanna, as their interests 9 alike.
The Republican party had always been
right and the Democratic party>had al
ways been wrong on every public ques-
ton for the past 40 years, wrong In the
a wrong on abolition, on finance, on
greenbacks, on resumption Of specie
payment, and on civil service reform,
although thousands of Democrats, bet
ter than their party, sustained the war.
Cleveland had been false in his re-
form professions because lie had turned
5 1000 good Republicans out of office.
The DemocrJrcamped around the old
camp-fires of the fsEss legs; ssaTty af-
ter they had moved on four years. The
past "a years the Republicans had con-
trolled the house of Representatives II
years, and the Democrats ~ years.
The Democrats had reduced taxes on
whisky and tobacco 8 millions of dol
lars, while the Republicans had reduce
taxes 230 millions; 113 on the tariff and
and 1lS Oh internal revenue. Both
parties comedies the tariff need re-
vising. 1t did not use to be usual for
Democratic administrations to have a
surplus. He thought the present one
had been nursed.
The evenue collected by the tariff il
now about 13l millions. The difference
between the Mills bill and Senate bill
sthis. The Mills bill proposes to re-
duce the tariff Al millions and the Sen.
ate bill II millions, [most Of it being on
sugar. See Prohibition speech fol-
whole amount of reduction. Differ
en:e between whole amounts and re-
duction on the tariff give reduction on
internal revenue, whisky and tobacco
being the principle taxables. Most Of
the internal revenue reduction in Mills
bill is on tobacco and most in Senate
bill OH alcohol. Ed
This country had made more progress
in the last 25 years under a protective
tariff than in the rs years previous. He
quoted Bismark as admiring our pro.
tective policy. The people would mol
know they were taxed II not continual
ly told so. Who is hurt by it? Inter
nal competition brings prices down t.
fair prices. Goods are now cheap
How are you going to get them cheaper
| unless you make cheaper men ant
women. He wanted a a Of stal
warts and not the stuntal race England
produces. IL
lie quoted another Gsfman who ac
knowledged the princift of protection
il wrong but said this country rival
| the world in ciieapness of production
Are you ready to plunge into Il gulf o
free trade. The south favors free trad
and the Democratic party is controlle,
by the South. England favors FREE
trade. England is our enemy.
Things are cheaper here than IN Eng
land. The tariff has reduced prices
Break down manufactures by reducing
the tariff you drive the workingmen in
to. farming, and destroy the home mark
ct. Labor gets twice as much here a
in England. Free competition reduce
wages. All goods imported should b
made in this country. He would max
the tariff prohibitory. Raise the tarii
to reduce the II you lower
YOU will increase the revenue. If 20
believe the tariff system should be give
up vote the Democratic ticket. II 20
believe protection brings prosperity an
happiness vote the Republican ticket.
