what he expected 10 say, and for what
nc expected 10 forget 10 say, and for
the way he expected 10 say Il and not 10
say K, al on the ground that he never
before stood before even SO large city
audience as that WAS.
Then he proceeded To his remarks 10y
calling attention 10 the widespread dis
content which exists throughout the
county, especially on the part of the
farmers aud OF the laboring classes.
lie attributed the cause Of these things
To. the unequal distribution of wealth,
and insisted that the party responsible

ton which contemplates the interests
OF the privileged few. The remedy for
all this, lies IN a repeal of the legisla-
ton that bears upon these abuses.
laws. The question of the tariff is the
main issue between the two parties.
The question Is: Shall We levy the
tariff tor revenue only? The Demo
cratic party and other minor parties
say, Yes. The Republican party says
! that the tariff should be levied, not pri-
| marlly with reference TO the raising Of
taxes. but with reference to protection.
| The difference between the two ideas
is as vide as that between light and
| darkness.
The Mckinley bill levies a direct tax
ranging from 10 TO 100 per cent, and
the average is 80 per cent. and gives the
home manufacturer a prorit of fifty
cents on the dollar. This IS using the
| government for private gam at the ex-
pense of our citizens. He IS a bold man

not supposed TO know that you are

take these taxes from your pockets.
"lf trade and commerce among
nations are good things, and maintain
that they are, then the tariff should b,

under low tariff than under a higf
one, because the volume of trade u

It's duties on the luxures of life, anc

The next thing in Importance, Mr.
WinanS regarded the currency. II,

Passing to the consideration of the
CORPORATIONS, he claimed that the take,

remedy, he claimed, is a change IN Tia,

lie advocated such a change of tbs
