special dispatch to THE EADER
Rock SPRINGS, Aug. 2l.-The debate
between j. M. Carey and G. W. Baxter
at this place tonight was listened to by
over 1000 people, The opera house was
crowded to its fullest capacity. Hon. Tim
Kinney, representing the Democrats,
aud Hon. J. Hill, for the Republicans.
presided. Mr.. Carey was the first speaker.
He said:
81 congratulate you as being citizens
of a state. 1 have always believed that
the principles of the Republican party
have been the best for the whole country.
and 1 will attempt to uphold them to-
night The party had its origin in the
opposition to slavery in 1856.
It was the party of freedom.
In 1860 the Southern states
seeded and Incorporated two principles.
one OF slavery and one of free trade. The
Republican party became the war party
and preservee the union and effected the
protection of labor. At the close of the
war the debt was over %, 600, 900, 900.
Since that time the Republican party has
reduced the debt two -thirds and the in
terest three-fourths. 1t is the policy of
the Republicans to protect American
labor against foreign competition. 1t is
not willing that our people should be
compelled to compete with the psuper
labor of the old country. An illustration
is the case of . man who has his shirts
made by his sister. He pays 81 a piece
for them. When told he can buy them
cheaper at the factory he says: II will
keep my money al home. 1t will do me
more good than spending it abroad"
1t illustrates the American system of
keeping money at home. The entire
product OF one Of your mines goes to the
Anaconda smelter. Mexican silver and lead
ores coming in free would place the min
ers Of ores here in competition with the
Mexican miners who get rs cents a day.
Either our mines must close or the wages
of the men come down il the protective
tariff should be Withdrawn frsm these
ores. Twenty years ago there was not a
foot of plate glass made in this country.
Now under the tariff systems thousands
OF men are employed In this indu stry.
Mr.. Baxter says the tariff is an unjust
AK. The Mckinley bill increases taxes
on a few articles. reduces them on many
and decreases the total taxes 800, 00O. 900
a year. A deficit is predicted.
With growth of resources in this coun-
try there can be no deficit In this country.
We are paying large sums for pensions
but it is better to pay for pensions to men
who served as veterans hat it Is to pre-
serve a standing army. The practical re-
suits of the high tariff system are that
money has 20 per cent more purchasing
power than in 1850. Laborers are paid
almost double the wages they were in
1860. Great Britain is the paradise of
free trade. They look with envy on our
markets. Free markets would be an in
jury to US. Our home markets are worth
ten times to US what our foreign markets
are, and should be protected.
The story is in circulation in this camp
today that the head of the Republican
ticket tried to pack a jury in 1885 TO con
vict the leaders in the Chinese riots. In
that affidavit, Mr.. Young, who makes it.
does not make a positive statement, but
says on his best information and belief
that Governor Warren wanted to pack the
jury. l know my record in this Chinese
question is all right Read what MI.
Cleveland and Mr.. Bayard and what !
said when this matter was before the
country and you will see | was fair. In
1885 the miners here considered they had
wrongs and took matters into their hands.
Warren was governor OF the whole terri
tory and when he received dispatches from
Sheriff Young asking for troops to protect
Iife and property no did what anyone
would do. sent them. When the trouble
was over Governor Warren urged the
exclusion OF the Chinese miners from the
camp.
When the act was before congress Civ
ing the Chinese indemnify for losses at
Rock Springs. l opposed it, to show my
opposition to Chinese labor. l said the
only remedy is a law to restrict Chinese
immigration. Il is a remarkable thins
that Mr.. Young did not divulge this
proposition for five years. and that it was
only done when Governor Warren vetoed
the Kinney bill which was to take 40 pei
cent OF the wages of ~workingmen from
them Tor their creditors. No man car
charge Governor Warren Of ever DONG
aueht against the poor. He has helped
many q poor young man in Cheyen n
a:onR. de was a poor, young man once
nimseli. de was not born with a silver
spoon 10 nis mouth and can appreciate the
needs OF the poor man. Mr.. Carey then
entered INTO an explanation of the force
Dill but his time expired.
Hr. Baxter took the platform and said.
l am not here a. a trained public speak
en- but l believe that 1t Is due you that
you know something of the candidates
whom you sre called upon to support
n for that reason when 1 accepted the
nominating OF the Democratic party fol
