ELECTIONS NORTH AND SOUTH COMPARED.
To-day there are many members of Congress from
the South, who hold their seats upon voie-a total
vote Of not very much more than 5000. In fact the
average vote does not exceed 5000 IN The entire
south, but here in the North where We all vote, as
wo ought 10 vote tho vote Is 10000. Thus, I am
right when l say that this Government IS ruled by
the minority and not BY the \. majority O% is ih

prevent anything like that in the future, you must
send t. Congress who are not favorable to the
alleged tariff reform We are told that tho Mills bill
Is not free trade bill. "a voice That's what they
told u.s. iaughterl Yes that's wha, they tell us;
reduce values considerably. They don't tell us what

not be called Free Trade campaign they told us
four years ago that need not have any fear They
told us that Converse and Randall could

UNABLE TO HOLD THEIR PARTY.
Let MS see how they held their party We know
that Randars followers did not go where he wanted
TO lead them We know that Converse said that the
Democratic party had made great mistake in de-
clarng the principles OF its platform which should
have been Identical with that Of 1884 They did not
tell of the disadvantage and probable ruin that would
follow the adoption of their Free Trade prncIl'E
II they had mado thar declaration of principles
Grover Cleveland would not have been elected.
Mr. Converse then Democratic member of Con
crcss who came in this city four years ago, said that
through him and Mr. Randall the State of New.York
was carried for their party. But now the mask has
been stripped of, and we know just what ex-

MORE THAN PROTECTION INVOLVED.
There is moro than protection in this ISSUE even
In National issue. Tho question Is whether the
people of the North, representing tho majority
and by the Republican party during the past twenty
five years. whether shall stll further continue
to grow and prosper as no people have ever done
heretofore, whether shall leave this Government
