The Freedom Meeting.

A spirited Democratic Mass Meeting was
held at Berret's Grove, Freedom district, on
the 18th instant, at which Club was formed,
and the meeting was addressed by Col. James
G. Berret, the Presidential Elector for the
I'd district Freedom has set noble exam
pie TO the rest of the county, and has held the
first public meeting in the county of the cam
paign. We give the pro ceedings in another
column, together with the speech of Col. Ber-
ret. This speech will be read with edi6cation.
Col. Berret, in common with all the Old
Guard of the Democratic party, loves to recur
to first principles and to the days of the Faith
ers of the Republic, and to draw thence the
inspiration for the present hour. The speaker
passes in review the virtues of the Democratic
administrations of the past, which commends
the Democratic party to popular favor, while
the faith and trust of the people in the adj
ministration of President Cleveland, warrants
the anticipation of triumphant result in
November next.

Practice VS.. Preaching.

Said James G. Blaine, in one ofhis speeches
during his hippodroming about the country
''If our people could see the condition of
European laborers, no wage worker here
would vote for free trade"
No wage worker or other citizen in this
country will ever have an opportunity to vote
for free trade, and no one knows it better
than the corrupt demagogue Blaine. And
while the Uncrowned King bewails the lot of
the 'pauper labor and wants high taxes to
protect the laborer of this country Che means
monopolists when he says laborer) when So
journing in Europe with the hope he would
be called back to be crowned King, he was
purchasing the products of this pauper labor,
to prevent the necessity of buying in the
''home market, for he brought from Europe
with him thirty-two trunks, twenty bags and
four baskets laden with goods produced by
the very labor he wants protection against.

SCANDINAVIAN DETECTION IN MINNESOTA
The Republicans of Minnesota are alarmed
over the detection of the Scandinavians
There are 10000 Scandinavian voters in the
state, and they have heretofore voted the Re-
publican ticket. But on Monday last the
organ of that race, published in Minneapolis,
the most widely circulated Scandinavian paper
in the Northwest, boted Harrison and came
out for Cleveland, although it has heretofore
been staunch Republican paper. The editor
says he cannot stand on the Chicago platform,
nor support the nominees of that convention.
He heartily favors decided reduction of the
tariff, and declares that is the general senti-
ment among the Scandnavians. The Swedish
American, published in Chicago and largely
circulated in the Northwest, has also aban-
doned Harrison and pronounced for Cleveland
aud tariff reform.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1888-08-25

Hon. Ashbel P. Fitch, the Republican
Congressman from New York city who spoke
for tariff reform and voted for the Mills bill,
has resigned from the 29d Assembly District
Enrolled Republica ms, and also the several
important positions he held in the club. He
cannot support the Republican platform, and
will soon take the stump for Cleveland and
tariff reform. 1t is said his influence will be
considerable both in New York and else
where. He was personally so strong with the
masses he was easily elected to Congress in a
district overwhelmingly Democratic.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1888-08-25

As all mishaps are charged by Republicans
to Cleveland and his tariff message, would it
not also be consistent to charge to him the
fact that wheat is selling fifteen cents bushel
higher in Baltimore now than it did in August
last year? If he is responsible for the one,
he must be for the other. With largely in
creased yield and an advance of fifteen cents
a bushel, farmers will likely desire contin-
uance of the Cleveland Administration.

Free Lumber.

From Cleveland Pldiadedler.
The Democrats propose to make lumber
free of tax. Now let the average citizen of
good common sense sit down a minute and
ask him self why lumber should not be free of
tax. Who is helped by it? Surely not the
man who builds himself house for a home,
because the tax makes his house cost more,
and that is not good thing for him at all.
Not the man who lives in rented house, be-.
cause since the house cost the owner more to
build because this tax, the renter is obliged
to pay more rent than he would otherwise
have done. Not the workingmen who work
in building houses, because houses being more
expensive to build than they would have been
without the tax, not so many are built, and
the workingmen lose that much work.

Organize Clubs Everywhere.
The National Commute Urge Their For
nation in Every State.

The following address has been sent outby
the National Democratic Committee, urging
the formation of clubs and their utilization
with the National Association of Democratic
Clubs:
HEADQUARTERS National DEMOCRATIC
Committee, No. 10 West 10Th ST., N. Y. !
SIR-We take this opportunity to impress
upon you the great importance of urging, by
every means in your power, the formation of
Democratic societies or clubs and their prompt
union with the several State societies or asso-
Citations and with the National Association OF
Democratic Clubs, formed by the Baltimore
Convention of July T. last. The association is
now fully organized, Hon. Chauncey F. Black,
president, and Edward B. Whitney, secretary,
with offices at these headquarters and at No.
81 William street, in this city. 1t is in har-
monious and efficient cooperation with this
committee, and will undoubtedly contribute
greatly to the success of our ticket. All Dem
ocratic societies and Democratic clubs be-
come members of the National Association by
merely forwarding list of their officers and
members to Edward B. Whitney, Secretary,
No. So William street, New York, N. Y.
Nothing else is required. No dues or fixed
taxes are exacted by the Association, the sys-
TEN, vast and valuable as tits, being sustained
under CONSTITUTIONAL provision by voluntary
subscriptions alone. Circulars, forms and all
information relating TO the clubs may be had
upon application to the secretary. All mat
tiers respecting campaign supplies, including
buttons, badges and uniforms for clubs, have
been RENTED by the committee to the more
appropriate management of the Executive
Committee of the association.
All Democratic committees and committee
men are earnestly requested to push the or
ganization of permanent Democratic societies
or Democratic clubs within their respective
jurisdictions. The importance of such an ad
junct to the regular organization cannot be
overestimated, and the regular organization
cannot be too active or Jealous in promoting
it. It should be remembered that the 'Dem-
ocratic Societies were the first efficient or
CARNATIONS of the party under jefferson, the
election of Jefferson in 1900, and the ascen-
dancy of the Democratic party for sixty years
was mainly the work of these societies; that
the open, popular club, in which men freely
discuss their rights and duties, is pre- emf
nently Democratic expedient, and is more
needed at this hour than ever before in the
history of the country.
