II
aud now the one -hunuredth part of one CEN.
He gets now 81 or So day; before he got 4
dollar DAY. he does more work for his en-
pioyer. SO yon may take nails. A person
S WORKING at nails makes fifty pounds day by
hand labor. That makes at dollar a tlar
labor, the cost of the nails about two cent,
pound Now they have nail machine bv
"nich the same man makes 5000 pounds OF
naias IN DAY. Now it looks, and the
democrats believe that that man is adding TO
the wealth of the country, and adding to his
own Notwithstanding more wants. All
tnat man wants is market for his nails
WHete ne can sell them at the highest price
and he is making more money Certainly Than
when he is making so or 100 pounds OF
nails. But the Republicans don't believe
that. 81 republican believes that by putting
tariff tax or 100 or 200 or 400 per cent. or
any amount you please, and compelling the
consumer 10 work Eve or six or seven times
as long, that that fellow is making NOR
money when he works five ar siv darsto
gets
Pound of Nails,
or 100 pounds of nails than if he was max
ing them in one day. Now as 1 said. the
Democrats believe in equality We do noe
believe IN any classes. We believe in treat.
ing everybody alike, and making laws jus,
ana equal. Now when you put this tax O,
$40 on ten-dollar suit of clothes Won make
the cor fellow who has got TO buy it worh
twenty days to get it. Now if you start these
Two people equally, the manufacturer having
worth OF surplus product, to be purchase,
by the farmer, or exchanged with him
ior SIo worth of his surplus product,
$40 of surplus of each to be exchanged with
the other $40 that one didn't want and ths
other did, by each to be exchanged. Now.
then, the tariff comes in. and it makes one
man work twenty days to get $40,
that. is the consumer, the farmer
1t is the, man that buys the suit o..
e c IN TINS country. But what does it do
Tor the man that manufacturers the S1O-sni.
OF OF clothes: That suit of clothes is made by
the tariff worth 500 instead of $40 Tha;
man, therefore. has worked ten days ana GOT
$50 hasn't he? 1 am not very good az
Ifainenatlcs out that seems to me to be right.
II tne law has conferred an additional S1u
on that mans suit of clothes, that he was
working ten days for, hasn't he got $50 for
ms ms oi0 suit: Certainly he has. Very well.
Then he has worked five DAYS for the $40
spit If he has worked ten days for the S2U
suit. 1t has doubled the manufacturers
profit; it has doubled the farmers work and
labor. !Applause-l 1t has divided the farm
er prohts In half; taken half of it from him.
Mr. Mills then gave numerous illus.
1rationS In detail as to different prod
ucts, showing how the masses OF the
people are the losers instead of gamers
ny the high protective tariff He held
the intense interest of his audience for
nearly two hours, being frequently
greeted by enthusiastic applause.

little, and then gave way to J. n.
Castle, candidate for member Of con
greSs.
With the conclusion of Senator Cay
ties speech the big meeting closed.
