it reserved for the little town Of Cheney TO
bring out such a magnificent crowd This

not forget to attend school when school Is
in session. Rejoice in the fact that so
many people are present to hear the doc
trine Of that party that never kept step
with any other than patriotic music
The speaker gave the Democratic party
touch on the tariff question. He ex-
planned what a tariff means and
the position Of the Republican party
on the leading questions Of the
campaign. The speaker said the Union
Labor party jumped over all tariff dis
cussion. The destruction of IrelanG's In
dustries by England was referred to with
telling effect. The articles OF confedera-
ton mad not started the United States on
the road to commercial independence. As
result they were suppIanted by the con-
stitution The speaker thought that If ali
the world was of one notion the theory
Of free trade might be more acceptable.
but not acceptable with the United States
struggling for commercial independence
against other nations.
The balance of trade under articles OF
confederation was in favor Of Europe. II

cy They had attached it because slave
and free labor could not live side by side
This caused them to seek its destruction
Calhoun had favored tariff until it became
known that his people favored free trade.
With the doctrine of free trade in the
south it was first accompanied by the doc
trines of states rights.
After few years of tendency towards
free trade the people called upon the apos-

United States until that latter day

gressmen elected by vote from $500 to
