the sacred duties to which their constit-
uentss called them, who complacently
drew their salary and neglected the in
terests OF the nation, were not only
proper subjects for strict discipline but
m9ro Tr ~ for popular exeeration'
II was rule whioh met with the ap.
probation of the people Of Maine, Of
Idaho, and would be sustained by every
fair minded citizen Of America. The
product Of the first republican congress
for years was bill which bristlcd all
over with the ideas oil American supre-
NANCY. Tho Mckinley bill is the hrst
and only truly protective tarin bill that
has ever been introduced or met the APP
proyal OF an intelligent congiess; and a
bill, too, which grants to Washington
more lasting benefits In u single breath
than we could hope for from democra-
tic congress in u decade. (Cheers.
The theory to sell where you can get
tho most and buy where you can buy
the cheapest is sophistry. We believe
that nation is enriched by the ac-
cumuations of her yeomanry and
manuiact urers, and our theory in its
tion Of the best fed, best clothed and
most progressive people on the globe.
Cheers.
Competition regulated prices and also
wages. The greater the competition the
lower the prices, and consequently the
lower the wages, which necessarily fol-
lows prices in all their vicisitudes.
What, then, must be the effect of foreign
competition? Let common sense an
swer Applause.
For the interest of American labor,
in the interest of every institution, we,
as American citizens. should hold
dear, beg of you 10 guard these sacred
principles, because when they sink
there sinks with them in one common
grave the hopes OF our institutions.
Never before have we had a farmers
protective tariff. over SG5,OOO,OOO IN
fnrm produce was imported to America
In 1887. Under the Mckinley bill tina,
will be impossible. Farmers are pro-
tected by n tariff on wheat, hay, oats,
wool, fruit. hops and articles too nu'
merous to mention.
Grover Cleveland and the last demo
cratic congress declared that silver as
legal tender was pernicious. The re-
publican party have given us both gold
and silver, SO that silver, dull at VI
cents. went up to l22 cents an ounce
Cheers. II added S65 900, 600 to the
wealth Of the nation, placed 50, OOO, 600 q
month in circulation, and added to the
volume of the circulating medium $40
900, 900 In currency.
The force bill is not q force bill. II
merely says that one man in Alabama
is not any more than seven men IN
Wsshingt ton. 1t merely argues that a
man OF Washington Is equally as honor
able and influential as one from Georgia
Ii Is q bill of principle, not OF force
No, iellow citizens, the last congress ha.
not been idle. 1t added to the roll oi
pensioners 270, 900 names whose record
for heroism and valor is inscribed on the
scroll of our national honor. Cheers.
Colonel Winston's closing remarks
were complete vindication of the
Washington delegations work in con-
eress and a delicate encomium upon
their wisdom. integrity and unswervinG
devotion to the interests of the people
of Washington.
From the opening to the closing oi
Colonel Winston's address the audience
evinced the greatest enthusiasm.
Mr.. Browne then closed the debate by
few supplemental remarks.
Georgr Herb and his opponent, j.
Walters, next indulged in a short ora
torical controversy, aud sent the au
dience home unable to determine which
way they would vote in the coming
election.
