Continuing;
When Senator Davis came down to the tin
sche tule he admitted the advance had been
from 81 to Sl.25. He saw that there was all
advance upon an article that entered into
daily consum ption. First, he justfies that
advance by this argument: We have got
mines in the Black Hills. If we put this tariff

Davis at Sea.
The iniquity of increasing the tariff
on tin was brought out in forcible IAN
guage. Mr.. Wellington took up the rec
iprocity cry, and said:
Kinley tariff law? 1t IS this: Whenever the
president of the United States thinks. under
stands or deems it best. or. to put il in the
words of the bill. Whenever a nation opens
It's ports to the productions of the United
States, the president may declare our ports
open to that country" Now, this is lodging
a mighty power in the hands of
an arh,er executive to make him an
of sixty-ive millions OF people. It Is going a
good ways; it is defeating most imperial
authority would want a more conscien-
uous, more able, more comprehensive
son beforeI would do that Loud applause
But surprising you had man upon whom
| you can rely, who had the intellect and the
conscience to carry out that scheme, that
reciprocity, let us see what II amounts to.
Mir. Wellington inquired. while we
| might open our ports to certain South
| American republics. and they were 60
| ing to open their ports to cur goods,
| how were we going to compete with the
| goods manufactured from other ceun-
| tries? We could not do it with our pro-
| tective tariff. and we could not expect
| any of the South American republics to
decide to buy no other goods but ours.
The people would rise up in revolution
against such a law. Then what was
going to become of the grand scheme
| of reciprocity. Mr.. Wellington turned

| AS the most spontaneous piece of rascal
! lty, the most enormous specimen of robbery
| that can be found in the recorded annals OF
| Icankind there never WAS such magnificent
| example of ingenious rascaIty afforded for
| the contemplation of political economists.
| Why, when you come to think of it, It is
| great, II is almost to be WorShiped because
| of The enormity. The mind that conceived,
| and the fine Italian hand that executed that
| gigantic steal goes above, clear up above the

upon our tables, was protected in order

would also merely benefit the manu-

MIR. Wellington concluded with an
earnest plea for workihgmen to sup

The large assembly accorded the elo-

with which the meeting broke up.
