MR.. WILSON'S REPLY.

How He Crushed the Republican Wrangler
Mr.. Wilson, in rejoinder, spoke as FOL
lows:
FELLOW cIrIZESs-I haven't enough
time to yield any of it to-day for cheers or
applause: / want all these twenty minutes
myself. While Gen. Golf has gone all
over the universe and surveyed mankind
from China to Peru, and talked a great
deal about the great Republican party and
all about IFS hewing straight TO the line
and letting the chips fall where they WILL
he has not answered q cir gle one OF my
questions ss yet. I asked General GOT to
tell this audience, if be abolished the In
terpsl revenue system, is he raised the
duties upon imports, where he Is going 10
get the money to run the Government with,
and he has not answered that questi on.
[Applause. 1 asked General Goff
to trot on before this audi
ence any one of the ssthers except
Father Blaine, tia! ever said that this
tariff was fr the b nsft of the American
%wo,kingmau, Applause, and he says
Why, Washington. Iasked him to pro-
ducs a single sentence from anything
Washington aver said, in anything Ham
lion ever said, in anything any of the
fathers ever said ia which they thouRhtfor
one moment or triei t, fool the p Opls into
the idea that duties were imposed for the
benefit of the laboripgman. They ta'd
this: Fellow citizens, we are a weak coun-
t,y here; all the world is engagediu war; we
have no foreign markets; we must help to
build up our manufactures, and because
wsges are high in this country (ro!to
make wages high, but because wages are
high in this country, there must be
some Temporary protection . the
manufacturers, especially IN tGo'e
jiues of employment thai are necessary
for our independence ss a people Gen
eral Golf speaks of ''gra1d old Andrew
Jachs,p.n Let me read a few sentences
frcm grand old Andrew Jackson. In his
protest against the resolution OF censure
wh:ci the Senate put upon hin for re-
moving tie deposit from the bank, that
old man used these pathetic wo'ds:
GRAND ANDREW JACKSON.
''Tbe ambition which lads me on is nj
anxious desire and q fixed determination
20 persuade my country men, so far rs l
nay, that il is TO: il Il splendid govern
ment supported by loSerful monopclies
and aristocratic establishments that they
will fird happiness or their liberties pro.
lection, bat in a plain system, void Of
pomp"
General Golf eaid 1 skipped over the Sill
YER question. / did, because as Grover
Cleveland did in his message, / thought II
q minor quest N. Secretary Faircbild
sent me by mail last night, q speech he
made TO the business men of New York at
one o'clock today. Here is what he says
about the Silver question: Ia seven years
after the Bland bill wac enacted, up to the
dsy Grover Ciev Gland came into power, the
Republican party could not get silver into
circuIation; they had gotten out,
at that time about Sl52 600, 600. Gro
YER Ce gelanG's ADM ittrstion has put
out in three years 1924 600 OOo, lap.
p,uss, and there are $40. 600. 600 less silver
10 the Treasury to day than there wax
when Cleveland came into Office, because
it is ont circulating among the people.
Gen. Golf says tle Democrats took the
income tax of. Now tell me ary Coz
gress since the war that Democrats have
had control Ct this governmtnt in
the Forty.sixth Congress- We had
the Senate and you the House
hat you had the President, and you were
not entitled to it Applause When We
got Grover Cleveland IL, We got q House,
bot the republicans htli on t, the
Senate, and about that Interstate Com
merce Bill, dot sn't General Golf know that
we in the Hcusa, where the Democrats,
were in power, passed the Reagan bill in
the Forty-eigtth Congress; We passed in
previous Copgreste 1 and cent it over to the
Senate and they p'geon-holed it until pub
lie sentiment was 80 strong they had to
pas, it. (~App!ause So with Chinese
immigration; they have been obliged to
march up t. the scratch, and have to ex-
clude them; and Benjamin Hsrri son cast
fouIt.eo votes sgainst excluding them.
Mr.. Wilson concluded his reply with a
strong argument, q showing that o high tar
III prevented trading with foreign countiis s
and did net increase wages.
