AS Mr.. Wilson after very rapid
talk of twenty minutes was about to
read the circular of President Foster,
of the Republican League, time was
called on him and he sat down amid
applause. Both he and Gen. Golf
were frequently applauded in their
second speeches.

"Talk tariff."l
The farmers are more interested
in the tariff than any other class.
Mr.. Wilson tells you how much Eng
land buys, but not what she buys.
He is a better dodger than thought.
You farmers send your wheat and
corn abroad. Yes; one busbel to
England to nine bushels you sell in
the United States. Why does Eng.
land buy that one bushel? Because
she's hungry and has to have it. If
you send the other nine abroad and
not sell here, the men who now buy
must raise their own, and who will
you sell to? If A and B raise corn
and wheat, what will they do for a
market? But if A raises wheat
and corn and B. makes iron they
can exchange with each other.

The Mills bill is only slight step.
Give them free swing, and they will
go much farther.
Mr.. Wilson, in his ten minutes
closing speech, appealed to the audi.

the the Clerks Office, wheat sold for

each, and other articles for as good
prices.
Gen. Golf said if to declare he
was for Protection and explain why
was lodging the tariff, he had
lodged it. Mr.. Wilson says pro
tective tariff is robbery. Why not
wipe it clear outg Applause.
Why go half way? If AZ per cent.

The statement that the Mills bill
reduces the revenue but per cent.
is not true. 1t cuts $50,O00,OO0 off
of S212,00O,000, and that is nearly
% per cent. Cheers. What differ

Yes; because it is needed here and
