a satisfactory explanation? Jewelry is

TALKING TARIFF.
Hon. ID. W. Lawler in His Ele-
ment.

Special to the Globe.
FARIBAULT, Mimi, Oct. 1.-The
campaign was opened in Rice comfy
this evening The meeting was called
to order by Thomas H. Quinn, president
of the Cleveland club of this city, who
introduced the first speaker of the even
ing, Hon. John l.. Townley. of st. Paul,
Faribault's former mayor. For over an
hour, and in his inimitable and
forcible style, he held the audi
ence in close attention while
he advanced invincible Arguments
on the great question of the campaign
the tariff. The next speaker was Hon.
d. w. Lawler, also of st. Paul, who az
raigned the Republican party for their
misdeeds and shortcomings, violated
pledges to the people and their attempt
to again secure control of the govern
ment by misrepresentation and deceit.
He showed the farmer and the laboring
man that by protection they were pay
ing tribute, not to the government. but
to the monopolists and manufacturers
of the East. Under Democratic admin
istration the country was in prosper
Gus state, and that with the reduction
of the tariff, as proposed by the Mills
bill, the people would again become
cOntented and happy.

Great Wealth.

Mankato Democrat
In all we'll informed circles it is understood
that the motive power of the Merriam man
agement has been his great wealth, aud his
strikers hereabout have freely boosted of it
and threatened its use. The Republicans in
this district will stand manfully by their
guns as to the national ticket, but may pause
to consider whether it is not more dangerous
to true Republieanism to sanction and in
dorse the base prostitution of their most
sacred right of citizenship, than to elect so
good man as Eugene NJ. Wilson at a time
when party issues are barely discenible. If
delegates were bought like sheep in the state
convention, as most of the Republicans who
were there believe, it is proper that the party
should purge itself at the polls, if there be
no other remedy.

ST. CHARLES, Mimi, Oct. 1.-The
opera house was crowded tonight by an
intelligent and appreciatiye audience OF
both political parties assembled to hear
congressman Wilson speak. He ar
rived here at 5 o'clock, and was called
Oh by number of prominent Demo
Gratis at Kelly's hotel. Scores of
farmers were among the audi
ence. Shortly after 9 O'Clock
Hon. Fl. w. Hill introduced Judge Will
son as ''our congressman and "our
next congressman" Judge Wilson said,
in starting, that he wished the audience
could sit and listen without a warped
political opinion; what is best for one is
best for all. He then stated it would be
a pleasure any time in the evening to
answer any questions the audience
might ask. If he had not been faithful
to the promises made by him two years
ago he deserved to be defeated at
the polls this fall. After. briefly
reviewing the candidates for presi-
euiogized Eugene NJ. Wilson and de-
voted some time to Merriam. He then
discussed the tariff question, making it
particularly interesting to the farmers
present, who frequently interrupted
him with hearty applause. st. Charles is
the Republican stronghold of Winona
county, and there were large numbers
of Republicans present, but they lis
tened with the closest attention to the
thoughtful exposition of the evil effects
of the present ubiquitous tariff system.
Judge Wilson reviewed the Mills bill
and said that it protected more than
enough to equalize any difference in
wages between this and Europen coun-
tries. The law of supply and demand
was explained in its relation to wages,
and the speaker declared that the wages
of Europe and America were governed
by that and not by the tariff. A pro-
tective tariff was crippling the indus
tries of the country, because it pre-
vented our commerce from competing
with foreign commerce. He salts
factorily explained his vote on the
direct tax bill, the Logan pen
sion bill and others of which
the Republicans are attempting to make
campaign material. He exposed Dun
nell's record in congress, and said if the
people of the First district wanted a
friend of capital, of whisky bills and
of monopolies, Dunnell was their man.
