 CHICAGO, Aug. 25-At ChiltOnham Beach to-day Judge Thurman spoke bs follows:
 Friends and Fellow -Citizens-Allow me to first express my thanks to Judge Trumbull for the kiDd msnLer in which he has presented me to you. It IS my purpose to-day to speak upon the tariff, but before proceed to that subject you have within the last few days heard not a little about tue message of the Presi- dRnt to Congress On the rejection of the fisheries treaty. l have no copy Ofthe Gaka.saa Usrr sr l therefore cannot discuss 1t and l have no copy of the presidents messege and therefore cannot quote from 10. but l want to say that some years ago this country wss greatly AgitRted by R party called the knOw-nothinR party, It was & party to whom the ITishmsn was an BbOminaiiOn If sbominatIons, and If be were Catholic IrishmRn he was the Ec- cur-ed of tbe earth. But now, strange to say, these men who e few years ago were know-nOthings and most abusive of the Irish and Germans. and of all for eign born people, but of the Irish espe- cially. are seeking to court what IS call ed the IrIsh vote, to get the Irish io vote against the man who stood by them iB the defenseoi their rights and 10 defense of everything that was alleged against them. NCE they are seeking tO get thcis votss Oy z.s1e- resentlrg Grover Cleveland aud asserting that he is un- der British influence. There never was a more false assertion You might 8s well tell me that Washington IS under British influence. If any man thinks there is anything in the charge let him read the message the president sent to Congress this week. Grover Cleveland knows too well what are the interests fl this country. He has too much symps- the with the American people. native and naturAlizad to be under any false or improper influences of any country. And now I come to the tariff question.
 The tariff Ia a tax imposed by the gov ernment upon goods, wares and msnu- tactures imported into the United States for sale. The effect is tO raise the price upon everything upon which it IS put. It does not raise the price Q? beef or pork phcked Tn Chicago or wba, is sold in Chicago, for We do not import these commodities, but on what We do import ands similar articles msnufac- tured m this country. That tariffs raise the price and makes them cost more Co consumers, and yet this tax is said to be 6 benefit to the laboring man, How can c man be benefited by tax that be- gins al the crown of his bead and takes everything he wears down to the soles of his feet. So far as it IS necessary tO raise money to carry on the government and to pay pensions tO the gsllent men who fought for its preservation, the peo- pie willingly pay the tsI, but when you tax people you are rObbing the people of money that belongs to them. This collection of surplus revenue hss been going on for some years and although the amount, thus far collected has to some extent been reduced by buying bonds st big premium, there stlll re- mains in the treasury Sll5,UOO,OOO. How can you have sn honest govern ment with this amount in the treasury, for 1t has no legitimate use. Every bcdy who can suggest some scheme for spend ing this money goes to work Co do it. So appropriations are made that are ut- terly disgrsoetul. Our fOrefathers in tended we should have sn honest, fru- gal, economic republic, and s democratic government. They never intended that We should collect Sll5OO0.OOO and then squsnder it extrsvsRsntiy ID order 10 get rid of the surplus. How can this sur plus be reduceds The answer Is plain. Reduce the tax. Now the issue Is fairly made up. The democrats want to re- duce the taxes. Of all the inventions ever devised tO shift the burden of tax siion from the rich mans shoulders on the shoulders of the poor man. tbs tariff tax is the most ingenious and IrsidiOus. Now my friends am going to stop in order that the grand man who is your candidate for governor may be heard.
 Judge Thurman then retired, amid vollies of cheers.
 Speeches were made by Representa- tives Mile. Wilson and others.
