The Republican press and leaders have
long since been challenged to produce cop

they never appeared in any London paper.
Yet the Republican leaders are dishonest
enough to use them. The people will have
something TO say about these methods on
the 9th of November next.

DOES THE TARIFF PROTECT
WORK.

Wonn.
The same tariff law prevails
throughout the United States.
The advocates of its maintenance
declare that its continuance Is
necessary because 1t increases the
rates of wages paid TO American
workmen. If this be true a man
engaged, say In the iron industry
in Oregon, ought to be paid as
much as his fellow citizen who
does the same work in any other
part of the country. The tariff
rules in the Northwest as well as
in East. Yet here are some facts
gathered from the tables of wages
published in the census of 1880.
The average weekly wages paid
to workers in blast furnaces are:
In Alabama s6.81, in New Jersey
s5.9S, in Virginia S4.92, in Penn
sylvania s6.97, and in Oregon only
$500. Now, if the tariff regulates
wages why are they not uniform
for the same class of work through
out the country ? Why shall a
man in Pennsylvania receive S6.97
for what his brother in Oregon is
paid only $3.50, ifthe same blessed
tariff protects them both ? Why
does not protection give to the
Oregon man the same wages that
it does to the man in Pennsylvania
if the tariff regulates and controls

congratulated his hearers that the

aught against affairs OF State, first

into the figures and be satisfied.
Take the ticket presented by the
Democrats of this State, look at it
and vote it. See if the men whose
names you see thereon are not ca
pable of running and running well
the affairs of our great State.
"I should say something about
the good of such clubs as have been
and are now being organized over
the country" said the speaker.
"You may think them of no value
in a State so overwhelmingly Dem
ocratic, but they are valuable. We
have large and safe majority, yet
these organizations are worth a
good deal to us. They bring about
an agitation and bring us to an un-
standing ofpublie affairs that would
not possess us otherwise. We be-

government and can learn to look
at the question from all sides.

and invited the closest scrutiny
into the reform proposed by the
President and resolved into a bill
by that matchless statesman, r.

benefits that would arise from a
judicious reform of our tariff sys-

SYNOPSIS OF THE SPEECH.
Governor Hardin spoke at con.
siderable length and in his OWL
easy way told the story ofthe tariff
of the accumulating surplus, and O.
State prosperity under Democratic
rule.
When the Republicans went out
of power In this State the debt was
500, 100000. It is now reduced te

TRUSTS are private affairs with
which neither the President nor
anybody else has any particular
right to interfere. So says Mr.
Blaine. But larceny is private
affair-usually very private af-
fair-and yet it is not supposed to
be improper to interfere with it by
law. The robber who meets man
on the public roads and demands
his money or his life is engaged in
private enterprise, but the law
takes cognizance of his act and
Furnishes it as a crime. So the
laws of this country will do with
trusts.

and they put him there. Now he
is President and has served over
three years. What can you say
against him2 1t used to be said
that Mr.. Clay was the embodiment
OF the Wing party. and might / not
say that Mr.. Cleveland is the EN-.
bodiment ofthe Democratic party2"
The speaker continued by ex-
pressing great belief in Democratic
success in November and he did
not stop at that; he predicted that
a veritable cyclone would sweep
the country for the Democracy.
Governor Hardin then told the
story Of the tariff. He drew a
picture of how unreasonable it is
to tax a nation on the necessaries
of life beyond that amount actual
ly needed for the support of the
government. He said that it was
his firm conviction that if this en-
ormous surplus was allowed to
grow, a crisis would come ,and that,
too, earlier than many of us ex-
pect.
Great income for government
purposes used to be secured from
taxes on monopolies, banks, man.
ufactures and incomes. Under the
pressure of influence this tax was
removed, but did its removal help
the great mass of the people2
Henry Clay's tariff measure in the
twenties provided for tax on i'm
ports sufficient to protect and up
build our then infant industries.
Now the industies are old. They
are no longer infants, but the tax
goes bravely on, larger than ever.
And it was a condition In CLAWS
measure that the import taxes
should be reduced as soon as our
industries ceased to be "infants. /"
The speaker quoted the follow
ing Democratic doctrine, which,
with reference to our bountiful
crops and the expression that the
Cleveland and Francis Club might
be instrumental in doing great
good, closed the very interesting
address:
"No more money should be col
lected than is necessary for the
support of the government"
"The maximum tax should be
on the luxuries."
'The minimum tax should be
on the necessaries of life"
At the close of Governor Har-
din's speech there were loud calls
for Hon. ND. Thurmond, of Calla-
way, who was in the house. Mr..
Thurmond is the Democratic nomi-
nee for Representative of 1.-THE
Kingdom" He responded prompt
ly and made stirring Democratic
speech.
On next Friday night an elabor-
ate programmew ill be presented.
The executive committee has in
vited Judge Elijah Robinson, C. F.
Clark and Frank Jesse, Esq, to
make speeches. The Glee Club
will present new and stirring songs.
THE JUNIOR DEMOCRATS.
After the adjournment of the
Cleveland and Francis Club meet
ing last night, J. G. Trimble call
ed the Junior Democrats to order.
He stated the object of the gather
ing and the Juniors at once pro-
ceeded to elect officers. A. j..
Winscott was made president of the
organization of young Democrats !;
Robert WorreIl, vice-presicent;
Morris Arnold, secretary; Charles
Criswell, treasurer. There were
about fifty members present and
that number will be increased to
one hundred in a short time. The
meeting adjourned to Monday
evening next.

PERHAPS no man in Mexico could
die who would be more missed by
the community at large than DR.. s..
N. Russell, who, as citizen and

and loved by all who knew him,
and it will be some consolation for
his thousands of friends to know
that his death was calm and peace
full. He passed away with that old
familiar smile on his face.

A Romance Condensed.

Charles w. Selke, a young me-
chanic of New Haven, Conn.,, has
been furnishing material for d first
class romance. Four years ago,
while acting as cook of q vessel
then lying in the harbor of New
port, r. L., he swan out and res
cued from drowning the young and
pretty daughter of well-to-do
New Yorker, who, in recognition
of his services gave him 81 900,
and made him promise to come
and see him in New York City.
The gentleman gave his name but
extracted from young Selke prom
Use that he would never divulge it.
The young man called upon the
New Yorker several times and was
well received. Last May, says
Selke, the young girls father died,
and adds: "I received a letter
from the executor of the estate
shortly after, asking roe TO come to
New York. / went and listened to
the reading of the will. / then
learned that i had been left s15,-
600, which / was TO receive upon
certain conditions. / can 60 no
further. Another promise pre-
vents me from telling the cendi-
tions." Nothing will induce Mr..
Selke to divulge the name Of his
beuefactor or the conditions of the
bequest. It is eonjectured that
the condition prescribed is that he
shall marry the girl. He said on
Wednesday that he was undecided,
but he would probably refuse the
,nopav
