Speaker Carlisle Points Out the
Bond of Sympathy Between
North and South.
When Secretary Fairchild concluded,
Speaker Carlisle was introduced amidst
deafening cheers. Mr.. Carlisle, after
thanking the assemblage for their
hearty welcome, said Mr.. Fairchild had
made such a clear and satisfactory
statement of the financial operations
of the government during the pres
ent administration, that nothing is left
to say on that matter. will, however.
speak on another subject which ought
to be taken into serious consideration.
One of the most beneficial results of the
last presidential election was the estab-
lishment of harmonious relations So
cially, commercially and politically
between the people of the
North and the people of the
South. Cheers. The union of these
sections has never been so strong as it
is to-day. [Cheers.] 1t is strong be-
cause the people of every part of every
ceive equal and exact justice as citizens
of a free government. [Applause.] Mr..
Carlisle then went on to charge the
Republican party with attempting
to reopen the sectional race agitation
and asserted that leaders of the party
in congress had already adduced bills
and resolutions which must inevitably
bring about this sectional feeling.
The fact that Mr.. Cleveland's admins
tration had inaugurated
AN ERA OF HARMONY
between all the country, Mr.. Carlisle
declared. was sufficient reason in itself
for his reelection. Mr.. Carlisle eulo-
gized the administration of President
Cleveland at some length, called
attention to the prosperity the
election and predicted his reelection
by an overwhelming majority. Mr..
Carlisle next referred to the tariff. He
attacked the tariff bill created by the
Republicans in the senate and declared
that the Democratic party in congress
would never give its consent to
measure which proposes to reduce the
revenues of the government by in
creasing the taxes on the people.
The Democrats, he declared, by the
passage of their tariff bill in the house,
had honestly endeavored to prevent the
accumulation of large amounts of
money in the treasury, and diminish
the burdens on the people. Mr..
Carlisle reviewed at length the pro-
visions of the substitute for the
a committee of the senate, and asserted
that the committee in framing the
measure paid no attention whatever to
reducing the taxes on the people, but
had, on the contrary, Increased them.
In conclusion Mr.. Carlisle said taxation
should be reduced an equaliZed so that
the capital and labor of the
country would not be subjected
to any tariff except what is required to
defray the expenses of the government
and pay its just debts. Restriction
should be removed from trade so that
the products of the industries of the
country could be sold in other markets.
The Democratic party did not want
free trade. 1t merely demanded
that the home government should
to all the materials of the world neces-
sary to the comforts of life." The adj
dresses harmonized perfectly with each
other, and with Jeffersonian theories of
American government. The speech of
W. A. Body, who is favorite author
of New York merchants, was very
effective effort, and ELECTED great
applause. Until a late hour
the streets were filled by various organ
iZatiOns marching to their headquarters,
for Cleveland and Thurman

The Republicans concede
that the Democratic national ticket was
never so strong in New York as to-day.
