The Democrats call it robber tariff.
They got so used 10 calling everything
Iobbery while they were out of Office so
long that they can't get over it.
The speaker told about an old Indiana
farmer to whom a Democrat said, you
pay 10 per cent more on your reaper and
mower than if you had no tariff Why
Don't you Come over TO the Democratic
party and vote for free trader" He answer

Continuing Col. HaIlowell stated that
nearly all of the food for the New England
states comes from the middle and western
states. Only s per cent Of orr farm pro
ducts is shipped abroad. Only Z per cent
OF oar wheat goSs abroad, the rest being

trade that as they are not with US they are
against Us. There is no room on that dec

get ON or get off.
He said Kansas, as great agricultural
state, VIII soon find a grand market for
her products IN the mountains 10 the west
OF her, and viii not have to so 1900 miles

favor of home market. That's what
we want: that's what vera after.

tlaie is principally advocated by college
professors, who nave not posted themselves
on the debates OF Webster, Clay and Cal
houn. Ever since Calhoun went over to
the free traders in 1917, the Democrats have
been in favor of free trade, and the south
era states have always bsen favored by the
Democratic party or that issue. The Mills

are the iron ties around a bale of cotton.
The speaker here intimated that he
would have TO stop as it was growing late,
but was urged to go on, 90 on. give it TO

serving the Lord, l am always willing to

One farmer back of the speaker said,
Give US little on the wool question"
The speaker said they tell you the farmer
is robbed on his blanket, and then pro-
ceeded to give some figures showing that
the American made blankets are sold
for much less than the cost of labor
added to the duty would amount to.
He said he would not ask a friend of his
to vote for protection, if he did not con-
scientiously believe it TO be the proper
thing TO do.
The reelection of Grover Cleveland
means the continuance of the Democratic
efforts at the destruction of American in
dustries. There is no other construction
TO be placed upon his message
and that is the one he intended to be
placed upon it when he wrote it. He is
not greater than his party. They have
always been in favor of free trade.
He said the Republican cause was de-
feated in 1884 mainly because they
had accumulated a surplus in the
National treasury which Mr.. Hen
bricks said was S4S0,0O0,0 900, but
Of that there was aside from funds for
the redemption Of the greenbacks only a
surplus of $4,000, 600. They have not re-
duced it but by attempting TO change the
manner of keeping the accounts, they try
to show a decrease in the same. But still
there is So, 600, goo surplus. They have
loaned So, 00o 900 of the peoples money
TO the banks OF New York,
without interest, it is said but it is sus-
pected that some one ight be getting the
interest.
The Democrats found the accounts all
straight He charged them with derelic-
ton of duty in not buying more govern
ment bonds.
The colonel said that Grover Cleveland s
so-called star o. destiny will soon be OBJ
liberated from the political horIzoa and
General Ben Harrison will this fall teach
him such a lesson as he never dreamed of.
He said in effect that the Democratic
party was trying TO steal the Republican
party's thunder in regard to the pensions,
when in fact they are only carrying out
laws fostered by Republicans, When
General Harrison is president you will not
witness the spectacle of the executive
Yetoing, in coarse and brutal Ian
guage, the pension of wounded
soldier Neither will he return any rebel
flags. When he mentioned President
Cleveland's refusal to grant a widow of a
soldier pension on account OF her not
having led the most moral lie since the
death of husband. Col. Hollowell said:
oh. vir, re thou art a jewel" This
Drought down the house"
We viii not reflect that man to the pres

ever given any one. AT the close OF his
speech Col. HaNowell was greeted with
great cheering. The bsnd played Rally
Round the Flag Boys" and the crowd gave
three cheers for Harrison and Morton and
three cheers for Halloweil.
Ii was the best speech Of the campaign
and made great many Democrats 90
away thinking seriously, il indeed they
wers not turned from their free trade
brothers.
