Touching upon the Republican internal
revenue plank he said: ut is hard to
speak in moderation Of this mOnstrous
proposition. In this Christian land and
age men sometimes spoken Of ss Christian
statesmen have nothing better than free
whisky and tobacco TO offer the people in
response to their cry for relief.
The worst enemies the manufacturing
interests in this country can possibly have
are those who advise them not to accept
and aequiesce cheerfully and gladly in the
extremity moderate and entirely harmless
reductions made by the Mills bill.
The slave holder of the South once be
longed to the class which composed the
money power. They once were monopo-
lists of cheap underpaid labor. and their
rights under the fugitive slave law and in
the territories were srrogantly pressed to
point where the sword was drawn and mil
lions of men took the field.
A WARNING 10 MoNoPoLIEs.
Then the section which had everything
in its possession and consequently every
thing to lose and nothing to gain, lost its
entirs:substance in struggle for shadow
"a theory. The most bitter and implaca-
BILE supporters Of slavery and Of Its extern
sion, thirty years ago, were IN fact, the
most successful and efficient abolitionists
of the Nineteenth century. The struck too,
and their blows came back to destroy them.
And so il will be- with the purse proud, in
solent, blind and misled tax eaters Of the
present day. By making no concessions to
the over taxed condition of the people, to
the overwhelming surplus in the Treasury,
and by refusing to permit a single
dollar of reduction on the necessi-
ties Of life, but on the. contrary,
insisting that whisky and tobacco should
20 free, the manufacturers have done more
to promote the idea of free trade in this
country in the last few months than the
eloquent and gifted tongues and pens of
Frank Hurd, Henry Wattsrson, David A.
Wells and all their cOntreers during as
many years.
Senator Voorhees, then paid his respects
to the Republican ticket, declaring Never
were candidates in their natures, educa-
ton, habits, avOcation and association
more absolutely the representatives Of
their party's declared policy than Bepja-
min Harrison and Levi p. Morton"
He dwelt upon the part General Harri-
son took in suppressing the labor troubles
of 1887, and inquired: I'm what respect
does the career of General Harrison appeal
strongly to the pride of Indiansns? l
would not disparage his Just claims to the
respect of his countrymen, but whose duty
Is it to vote for him on the grounds OF
State pride?
AN INSULT TO INDIANA.
The Republican Presidential candidate
in the last campaign brought au action OF
slander against Democratic newspaper of
indianapolis. 1t involved the most deli
cate matters of domestic life, concerning
which / have never spoken and never
will. General Harrison was Mr.. Blaine's
leading lawyer, and when he moved
to dismiss the case without bringing
it to trial, he assigned as reason for
doing 80 such q libel on the State and on
the Court that Judge Woods refused the
paper containing it place on his files. In
that paper it was in substance alleged that
court presided over by au intense Re-
publican Judge, with Republican Mar
shal and Republican Jury Commissioners,
had become 50 debauched by the influence
of political agitation, and by the recent
Democratic victory that q citizen
of Maine could not secure q
fair trial, nor obtain justice in it,
nor, indeed, in any OF the courts Of Indi-
ana. do not know whether this paper
was written by lawyer or client, nor does
it matter; the presentation Of it for per-
manent record was the crime against the
honor of the State"
In conclusion Senator Voorhees, recount
ed the historic part of Gen. VIM. Henry
Harrison took to secure the repeal of the
sixth article of the Ordinance of 1857. and
thereby established slavery in the north
west territories, embracing Indiana.
