AT CAREY.
fully 10 600 people stood in the light of a
natural gas well. and cheered as the
train came to stop at Carey. After
thanking the people for their welcome

extended speech on public affairs, the
Judge concluded by saying: "It is
long time since the people of Amer

issue before them ds now. (Applause.
You have in the Treasury OF the United
States more than a hundred million
dollars, utterly idle, for not one dollar
of which has the. government any use,
but which IS kept out of the pockets OF
the people, who might use it in their
business and TO their great advantage
and prosperity. Now the Democratic
party say that ought not be, and l say
so. (ApplaCse.)
THE TOLEDO RECEPTION.
AT the Baltimore & Ohio crossing
Just before reaching Forcstia, the
Toledo reception committee boarded
the train and gave the Judge a hearty
welcome. AT the depot the Cleveland
and Thurman club, in uniform and the
crowd welcomed the train. In the
light of the natural gas and torch
lights, Judge Thurmen came to the
rear of the car and spoke briefly
after three hearty cheers fOl
him. He expressed his regret al
the briefness of his stay and said whe1
I he got from under the dominion of the
railroad men, he would make speech
and spread himself.
| The Thurman Club, of Rising Sun, de
handed another brief stop, as did also
! the citizens of Pemberville, where the

Judge Thurman who made the speecI
of the day.
The Judge said at the outset he woul

another State from this great old State

PASSING TO THE TARIFF
as the trarscendent theme the Judg
said, in order to lead to precision {
speech and compression of what he ba
to say, he would begin by definition {
= what the tariff is. The tariff is tai
levied by the general government upo
importations brought into the Unite
| oil off .Nf h io
is tie raise the price of every commod
ity thus imported, and also the price G
all domestic commodities of the sam
nature, not made within the Unite
States. This tax is paid by the con
sumner of the article. He pays it. nc
to the tax gatherer, not to any Office
of the government, but he pays it IN tn
price which he gives for every protecte
article he buys. Let me suppose, TO
instance, by way of illustration, tina
an importer purchased in Eng
land enough cloth to make
suit of clothes. He pays for IT, ther
say $40. He brings it to the Unite
States. Before he can even get it out c
the custom house at the place where b
lands, he must pay on that a ia
called tariff, and the probability il
among the enormous rates i
the schedule on wooden good:
( that he will pay d tax c
not less than 60 cents on the dollar
OF course, this with each merchant
profit continues and, is in the goods
when they are sold to the consumer
That by the time one of you buy thi
cloth you find you have to pay for
from SIG to $40. Now, my friends, it j
| fruo IN at thora il scarcalv q thing WI
wear, the price of which is not in
creased by the tariff tax. Their
are men enough to-day who ar
advocating high protective duties OF
tariffs. there are men audacious enoug
10 say that high protective tariff is TO
the benefit of the laboring man. Why
in the name of all that's common sens
and reason, how can the labor:ng ma
i be aided by tax that staxe, MIN or
everything he wears?"
