took this rs a good opportunity to play a

m M, unequal contest. After the band

Seatsptcch Oi n very few minutes dura-
tlon. Ills references to Foraker and sher.
man being received with enthusiasm.
In conclusion he introduced the Cover
nor, who was received With great cheer.

Wherr, he said, II had been necessary 10
hold meetings out doors, but here they
had selected the largest house In town,
and thei knocked one end of II out.
The Governor then laurChed at once
into the tariff question, saying great
many people bad thought the tariff
question was settled with Grover Cleye'
land aud Ill the rest last fall, but his
competitor Mr.. Campbell, sometimes
referred to 1t, and he had concluded 70
do 80 here, lie did not know any better
place to talk tariff than here in the Ohio
Valley. When he saw what existed
along the river between Steubenville
and Btllairp, he wondered why any body
could talk against protective tarit. u
thepolicy Of protection were Abandoned,
the sum Of SSG5, 600 600 would have 70 be
added to the amount raiSed by direct
taxatiou Of the people. This would
make the rate in Belaire--now 2,3i-
al ,ut A, which all would admit was TOO
much. lhe policy Of gradually reducing
the amount raised by internal revenue
taxation he thought was wise, and he
went into the theory OF the protective
tariff, making his view,
TIE REPUBLICAN VIEW
Beautifully clear. To protecting the in
dusttits Of this country against foreign
competition the Democrats object always
WITH ono argument-"The tariff Is q
tax We admit that when levied on
articles which we do not produces In this
country, the tariff Is tax, but We do
moi propose to levy II oil such articles to
any great extent. When levied on ar-
tiCles that are or can be made In this
country, the tariff Is not tax. Instead
Oiincreaslng ihU cost Of the articles, It's
practical operation is TO reduce them.
Experience has demonstratedt this. When
by protection the manufacturers oi this
country were induced to 80 into thepro-
duclion Of new commodities, the price
each time went down, down steadily.
ThisCOuntry has hadlmpleexperience
With both Free Trade aud Protection.
One Of the first laws signed w George
Washington was a protective tariff igY.
Since Tint, whenever the country tried
free trade there was depression and
misery; under protection prosperity
always returned.
The Governor then referred somewhat
in detail to the successive periods oi low
andhiyh tarll, aud read from tue records
Including Buchanan'S message OF 'te-.-
10 show that his claim was true. His
remarks on this head were received en-
Enthusiastically. One rash Democrat un'

There were no factories In that day." :,
