sWe will down the red DanCana the
crowd would respond in an enthusiastic
manner. They were loudly called for a
second appearance and responded. This
was followed by an equally enthusiastic
veil and wells for .sVeto.n The club then
gave the veto song, which, if possible, in
creased the enthusiasm.
col. D. r ANTHONY
was introduced as an old wheel horse
of Kansas Republicanism- The
speaker said he appeared under
very embarrassing circumstances The
nennle came TO hear a United States
senator and not a private. In place OF
elooueHce he hoped TO be able to make
statements of facts. He said he would not
go back too far. but it was generally sup
posed God never made Democrat. ADAM
he thought, was Republican as first and
turned out free trader, for which the
race has suffered ever since. He was
wildly cheered at this point and could
scarcely get a chance TO speak as rapidly
as possible.
The speaker referred to federation Of
states up to 1870 which made independence
but little more than parchment, as there
was not commercial independence. The
new constitution gave congress the
power TO Law tariff and the
only opposition to it at that time
was the tories of the revolution, or tn
Democrats of that day. This point called
out hearty hand.
The first tariff. the speaker said, had
stimulated industry An attempt was
made very soon after to reduce this tariff
and the reduction was made by the south
on northern industries. In q the people
demanded that the protective system
should be adopted again. The following
eight years witnessed great commercial
growth. The speaker said be well remem-
bered the discussion at that time The
trial in 80 resulted in favor OF free trade
and the south said the north must be Grip
pied or they would injure the south. In 81
there was not solvent manufacturing
concern in the north, farms were worth
nothing, product was worth nothing.
In 80 the Democrats said 50 cents a
day would have as great a
purchasing power as s. day under pro-
lection. The Republicans then cried 81 a
day and roast beef. The speaker said the
Wichita parade brought to his mind the
| campaign of 10. In 81 it was bankruptcy
again resulting, as the speaker claimed,
from low tariff tendency to free trade.
At the commencement of the war Senator
! Morrill, introduced high tariff as slim
ulant TO commercial enterprises That
tariff brought financial prosperity even
during the war The speaker said the
prosperity was due to the fact that the
| tariff made it possible for no idle people.
| In those days England rejoiced at the
/ hopes Of having free trade IN the south.
/ For twenty-five years the speaker
said the civilized world had rec
( ognized the American plan as the
proper manner to dignity labor.
/ The result of it he said was people in Kan
/ sas in Wichita a spectacle that twenty-five
! wears ago was thought impossible Have
/ q nation that stands before the world as
/ the proudest on earth. All others jealous
/ of the United States. In the face OF the
| success of this experiment some want a
| change
with all this the president of the
/ United States says this system Is robbery
| Is ne honest2'
Cries of mo, no"
Il viii prove to you he is liar"
! Cries, you can do it, and give it &c
[ them"
Take Cleveland on his own record
Four years ago did he say anything about
/ free trade? After two years discussion Of
tariff Cleveland said nothing about it
All this time he was silent Oh
this robbery What change him.
/ Notwithstanding his pledge o.
not wanting the second term the south
comes up as it did fifty years ago for free
trade. If any man doubts this came from
/ the south, L recommend him 10 read the
/ history of the Fiftieth congress.
The speaker referred to ingalls, moppine
mn the earth with rebel senators who
called union soldiers beggars and rob
bers, and was wildly cheered. He dealt
with the fishing sreaty in manner not
/ complimentary to CleYeiand. especially tc
! the retaliation effort. He called it barter
/ ing away the American honor. He thought
/ the English press would give fair insight
/ of how they regard the Mills bill He
named a number OF their papers saying
'Au hail to Cleveland Chief" The
speaker insisted that the fight Of today is
/ but the old fight between the south and
north and as proof cited the Mills bill re-
|
/ tries than in the south. As an instance
i he referred to sugar little produced and It's
production as not q success so far and an
/ Injurious tariff. The wool and potato in
/ terest he said would be ruined by the
/ Mills bill Taxing scrap-iron Of the north
+ and raakiug it free 10 the south he thought
/ a most contemplate piece OF business
/ The speaker referring TO the Democratic
platform said the ''esual rights clause
! was certainly out of place IN that docu-
meut. He charged the Democrats as be-
/ ing mad because the county had prospered
under the tariff.
He referred to Cleveland's private rec
/ ord as being such that be could not refer
I TO it before an audience. He thought ii
very bad that his characsE was SO bad Il
could scarcely be referred 70 in public.
| He referred 20 Thurml declaring the
war failure and Cleveland playing foz
the beer in Buffalo during the war.
He spoke Of Thurman's 'forgetful-
ness in decorating his house
when the national reunion was held
at Columbus In comparison he re-
ferred 70 Morton sending provisions 70
/ Ireland. This he thought good reason for
all voting for personal reasons 20 support
/ the republican ticket The speaker, II Ian
guage not 20 be misunderstood, referred 70
the tail position Democrats occupy n the
north. The history OF protection in Ire
land was referred TO aad he said il was the
desire OF England 20 treat the United
States the same as Ireland or get the same
relation commercially. The result Of
/ solid Southeruismn the orator said would
be solid north He said the feeling in
Kansas was not as hot politically as n the
