ME-. cLARK's ADDRESS.
II thank you, ladies and gentlemen. from
the bottom OF my heart for the enthusias-
tic and cordial reception 1 have
received here tonight. Many years
ago I visited this camp for
the first time. 1t is closely associated with
the first efforts in the metallurgical treat.
ment of Montana. The beginning was
marked by crude methods and conspicu-
Gus failures. The old reverberation was
succeeded by the revolving furnace, and
now your hills are crowned with the most
perpect examples OF the greatest silver
mills on the globe. Hope has re-opened
into golden fountain, and it needs but
the magic touch OF steel to granite to pro-
duce a stream OF silver that astonishes
the world"
Here the speaker referred to some anus
ing incidents Of the campaign, which were
loudly applauded, and addressed himself
to the consideration OF the great questions
OF the day. He stated the Issues clearly
and deliberately and the relative positions
OF the great parties in an able and compre-
hensive manner.
When he came to a consideration OF
THE SUBJECT OF THE TARIFF
as related to the interests of the laboring
classes, he was listened to with intense in
terest, and Immediately found the great
audience in sympathy with him that
awakened the widest demonstrations OF
approval and applause. He said that the
Republican party endeavored to persuade
the laboring men that any reduction of
duties meant corresponding reduction OF
wages. He pronounced this false, and said
that there was not one manufactured
article on the Mills bill on which reduc.

cient revenue protection to cover the bare
cost. Anything beyond this did not benefit
labor, as it derived no share OF the ad-
vantages.
The manufacturer OF pig iron has an
advantage over his British competitor OF
about $3.50 per ton. Outside OF the labor
cost be does not share any part OF this
with the man who blisters at the forge.
1t may enrich his pocket. but it does not
soften his heart, and he tries to get even
q lower labor cost by the Importation OF
the similar classes of Europe.
Mr.. Clark showed that only about seven
per cent. of the wage-workers of the coun-
try were employed in ,..a..
THE PROTECTED INDUSTRIES,
and that these received the lowest scale OF
wages; that the remaining ninety three per
ceat. in the unprotected industries Jared
better 80 far as wages were concerned, but
that all the laboring classes, in order that
about fifty thousand manufacturers should
be enriched, are Obliged to submit to an
exorbitant taxation OF forty to eighty per
cent. on all the necessaries OF life.
Whenever the importation OF any article
ia taxed to prohibition, and the domestic
manufacturer is thereby enabled to extort
price far above the cost OF production,
that is, according to Chief Justice Miller OF
the Supreme Court of the United States,
robbing under the form OF taxation.
Should the excessive price reduce competi-
tion, a combine or trust is Immediately
formed. What ia trust2 Mr.. Blaine will

this word, and he recited his explanation.
When g. fellow is trying to get his hand into
your pocket he is very averse to any inter-
ference.
Mr.. Clark alluded to
