1 earned their daily bread during the
administration OF Grover Cleveland are
now either lramps or beggars, or working
Tor their board among tile small farmers
OF tho Hooking valley, We speak now
what We know, Gen, Hal Is good man,
with a fine record aa a soldier and he had
too much respect for himself 10 talk tariff
last night and he didn't do II, lie lost his
wad on the protective tariff IN the Hocl-
lng Valley and la view OF what no knows
OF the starvation and Rulfering Ia the
Hooking valley to-day, II II % lils credit
| that he refused 10 speak OF the rObbeP tar,
ilf 10 tho lab0ring mon OF Canton, Ito
made speech on ancient hlRtory, told
sOme quite broad stories, pitched into
Horace Greedy, and pulled Gov. Foraker,
quoted two yefaea Of poetry ana satdOwn,
Then Judga Day introduced Big
Jones OF Youngstown 90 O., very
the tariff. II would be difficult 10 At,
ilnaly oiaraoterlse iilg Jonesi speech,
10 say that II was the worst over heard In
the Tabernacle would perhaps be an OK
aggeration, but II was certainly u very
cruel aillletlon 10 gather an audience Of
900 people, including 900 voters and
i've hundred ladies', ana ah many boys,
and then introduce such man aa Big
Jones 10 nstruct thom, Why JOnea rs not
bad man-far from lt-but he knows
nothing about tariff and everybody who
knows him knows II, No wonder men
like Judge Day and Judge breaae felt
humlllated that such blatherlng mutton
head should be elevated 70 q platform In
front OF $500 people 70 ilounder for an
hour and a quarter, without even stating
one proposition correctly, or giving forth
one single tangible idea that " vital 10
this campaign, After hearing JOnes'
speech, II II no wonder that the Hon
Lawrence n, Neal advised our Democrats
yesterday morning 10 get all the Demo
crata out 10 hear him, aA his speech would
make Democratic votes, Mr., Neal heard
big JoneR' speech on Monday, and knew
whereof he waa apealsing,
The NEwR,DEao ooRAT gave Big JOnoa ak
proportions on the tariff for him TO dis
cuah, OF these ak propositions Jones did
not read ono, and only touched upon one,
We stated that no people could ever get
rich by taxation, and that u iarlit N u tax.
How did Jones treat thlaY ll0 0indulged In
q TRADE Of abuse, Of the editor OF the
NEws-D DEMOCRAT, who sat In the audience,
and whom Jones attempted 20 annlhllate
by calling him an idiot, q traitor aud other
terms OF roprOaeh, After exhnusting hla
somewhat extenalye vocabulary OF violent
adleotlyea, JOnea admitted that the tariff
IN u tax, This sounded very strange 10 u
great many Republicans who have been
led TO think by Statesman Mckinley that
the tariff IN not q tax on the American
consumer, but contribution by the
foreigner who paya the same for tho priv
llege Of selling his goods aud wares IN the
American marketa, Aftor Jones had an-
initiated McKlnloya flyorlto theory,
much 10 the dlaguHi Of MeKinley'a admir-
l..II ...s..lsl.I al al
propositions put 10 him by the NEwa.DEM-
ooRAr. lilo touched not one OF them.
We stated that tariff TAX N the most
unjust Of all taxes, because Il IL based on
production or labor, and not on wealth,
like all other taXea. A labor produces
all wealth, why should labor be taxed,
while the wealth that labor produces N
not touched, Big Jones carefully avoided
even reading this proposition, lie dare
not discuss H.
We gave him another proposition which
he oven failed 10 rcfor 70. This ~ the
propoaltoni Labor N tho best paid, tho
world over, IN countries win lho lowest
nrlli taxes, everything olHe boing equal
Compare wages In England with tho
wages la France, Germany, Italy or Aus.
trla, all protected countries.
We made another proposition. that Big
Jones dared not discuss, aud that IN that
all or nearly oil the paupcrh that como TO
Our shores, come here from the highcat
protected oountrlcaof Europe,
We made him another proposition, II
protection protects labor why IN II that
labor has boon going down IN price every
year In the United States since the r0bbcr
war tariff has been IN operation 2 ! Q dare
not touch even on thlHqucatlon' The alN-
iallca show that this " NO,
Big Jones had much 10 say about the
Protective tariff being responsible for the
DuehCr Watch Works In Canton, lie said
lao had lust been shown through the entire
establishment, which ho considered the
marvel OF the world, all on account OF the
tariff, Here N whore Big Jonch shows
himself an asa of the most stupid variety,
We venture the opinion that thcro ih not
u youth, male or female In that mngniil-
cent establishment who docs not know
that we can beat the Swiss watches IN lllo
markets uf the world because We make
watches by machinery and the Swiss
watches are made largely by piece work,
aud by hand work.,
Who invented this machinery
