Now Mr.. Elkins said the result of the
tariff would be to make farming imple-
mentS cheaper 10 the farmer. laugh
teri Instead Of giving them cheaper
| implements, the tariff has tied the farm
er up by the thumbs and permitted him
to be robbed. (Applause.) And this
is the reason That implements on sale in
the United States to-day can be bought
cheaper in London. Look at the fig
ureS, and | hope the Intcllt-
li9cnccr will print them. Laughter
Print them for il in big letters. Laugh
ter For the "Chicftain" hay tedder

ICheerS. On plowS Of all kinds the

You needn't put that in such large type.
Laughter. On the Nye improved rake

horse rakeS, hay-tcdderS and potato
diggerS. the discount to the foreign
buyers is 40 per cent. That is to give
the farmers
A HOME MARKET.

| IL looks either that Mr.. Elkins didn't
know what he was talking about or he
| juggled with the truth when he said
the object Of the tariff was to furnish
the farmer with cheaper agricultural
implements. Applause. And remem-
Der that every agricultural implement
in use in this country is an invention OF
American genius, and belongs as a right
to this country. Applause. All the
improvements in farm implements
ought To be credited TO American gen
ius: and vet by this tariff tax they have
made it possible to rob the American
farmer. and make him pay Il higher
price for what is turned out right at his
own door than what is paid in London.
But they give you a home market to
make up for it. Laughter.
l told you of
TIE POWER THEY GOT THROUGH COR
EUPTIoN.
of the fat they fried. and the use they
made of it through Dudley and Wanna
maker: and on the other hand, Of the
power they got through deceit and fal-
styling. Well, they know that the day
of judgment is coming for them. APP
plauSel. They had to increase the
tariff. that the manufacturers who were
compelled to give up 500, 900 of eNtort-
ed money should have an opportunity to
make it good: and it has been made
good through the provisions of the Nc
Kinlcy bill. and he who says the Nc
Kinley bill was framed for any other
purpose does not tell the truth. APP
plauSel. We'll, YOU are going to find
out all the benefit there is in that bill
right at your own iireSides. Your wife
goes TO the dry goods store, and when she
comes home she says: "Why, prices have
advanced. That apron, that bought SIX
weeks ago for l3c, they now ask me lsc
for, and when | asked the reason for
the advance, the clerk said something
about the Mckinley bill" Applause.
And you wOrkingman, you know that
dress your wife was anxious to get?
She said il would cost but ~s.25. Your
wife went to the store to-day, and when
She came home she said: IL went after
nv dress to-day; you worked for
month to save up enough for me to get
IT: YOU denied yourself many little
comfort in order that you might ac-
cumuate the money, and give yourself
the pleasure of seeing me in new
dress. and YOU gave it to me to-day
happy in the pleasure, and when l went
To the store, the clerk said he was sorry,
but the price was 81. And when l
asked how that was, he said something
about the Mckinley bill Applause. J
Ask the wife at your fire-side about the
increase in prices, for in such practical
lessons as have related to you, you are
going to be taught from now on
WHAT THE M'KINLEY BILL MEANS.
Applause. You may have had your
ears stopped in the past, my fellow cltl-
zens. You may have belieyed.n the
stories of the Rebel BrigadierS, and
have refused to train with Tammany
Democrats, but when your wife comes
home. YOU will have to listen to her OBJ.
