new power, never dreamed of by ii
founders, has entered.
SHOWS WHAT Is INTENDED.
This Tariff bill of Mckinley has, o
least, this merit, that our countrymen mt
longer can doubt what is intended. Nc
man can deceive himself. The veil i
torn aside. We see, in all it's naked dc
formity, what is intended.
POWER WILL GROW UPON WHAT IT is FED
Ny friends, urge you, as q country
man, as q Democrat, as a citizen only
like yourselves, to give your votes against
all such schemes. Depend upon it, the
great and sovereign power Of taxation
must be held above the grasp OF any In.
diyidual. That which belongs to us all
cannot be given to any one for his use.
| Applause Do not be ssducad by the
cry that it will raise wages, or by the
cry that il will make you more pros
porous. Depend upon it, il Is a
power that will grow BY what IL feeds
upon. The s;mile of tho snow ball gath
ering accretions as it rolls, spplies to
nothing more strongly than to wealth.
In the early history Of the country, lao
years ago, man named VRlusan made q
will. he simply provided that his prop
erty should go on and be invested, and
reinvested and reinvested, for o long
time, think for more than 100 years. A
computation was made OF that great estate,
Of what would be the arithmaticRl aggre-
CATION Of interes. ccmpoundtd and added
year by year to the principal
amount, and, to the horror OF the
accountants, they found that it would
have absorbed the entire wealth OF the
British islands. And so l say to you,
embark y.ur country upon what Mr..
Sherman has here confessed that he and
his party have combined in the McKin.
ley bill to dc. and ask you what will DO
the result One is individual Freedom;
one is that single individual, conscience,
which is the best bIrthright of any man
among rs. Where is it7 Overcome en-
tirely by a doctrine that will absorb the
entire property in the control of the
community by the moat natural law OF
aggregation and increase; aud yet that
is the spirit and meaning of the MoKin-
ley bill.
VERY ouINTEssENcE OF TYRANNY,
Ny friends, no man can be a cc.partner
in the legislative power of this country.
Admit these mon to this co-partnership in
legislation, and what must tollow2 You
choose your representatives BY election;
you choose them under the Reed rules
and the Lodge bill. The power that
elects and controls your electors for
representatives. in Congress will oontro!
yonr Presidents; your Presidents and your
Congresses make your judiciary, that
is to say, the President and Senate do.
Do you mot sec, when you onca ooncede
the idea that there can be legi,imately a
copartnership between any individual or
class Of individuals md the government
OF our country in its sovereign powers,
you have conceded q oopartnership, first,
in your legislation, next in your Presi-
dent, next in your Judiciary, until you
have what iIr. Madison called the very
of tyranny TO rale over yol2
Applause.
HEART SPEARS UNTO HEART.n
NY friends, ONLY little while ago one
OF the clearess minds and purest souls on
earth took its flight, the man the wonder
and admiration Of his own country and
OF the world, first, as connovsrsialist,
and nezt rs man who illustrated the
dignity of our human nature. / refer to
o riinal Newman, Applause. He had
. motto, OF which hs wss fond, and that
have been thinking OF tonight; Cor ad
cor loquitur-"Beart speaks unto heart;"
which he had acted ia his life,
from speaking to men fron his mind,
from bis heart aud from his consoience;
and hence wss his power, aud hence the
sway that has brought ali Eurone, men
from every country whore the English
language is SPOKEN, men from every
CLINE, 70 drop tears of love and vanera.
tlon above his tomb. SO feel that this
nauso OF mine tonight is not leas holy; 1t
ia the welfare o. my country and Of my
and bag you, the little
handful that hear me, to believe from my
heart | have tried to speak to yours.
Great applause.
LISTENING AUDIENCE.
Seldom is it that political speaker is
accorded the profound attention and ap-
preciative applause that were MIR. Bay
ards portion dufing this mastery ad-
dress. From first to last his hearers were
with him, and every one Of the many
effective points found responsive echo.
His endorsement OF the Democratic csn-
didates and his recital OF the Bplendid
fuancial condition Of the State after
years of Democratic rule stirred the GU
dienoe to = point of generous enthusiasm;
his stern denunciRtion Of the Reed autoc-
rscy and his solemn warning OF the dan

stitutional liberty was applauded to the
echo his scAthing reproof OF the infa.
mots Force bill was received with shouts
Of approval; close attention and intelli.
gent appreciation followed him in his
crItiAims OF the Mckinley Tax bill, and
his grand per0.ation, eloquent and con-
voting in words and sentiment, was the
signal for another storm OF resounding
applause that showed how thoroughly
the audience sympathizsd with evory
word that had been uttered.
CALLS FOR SENATOR GRAY.
II was 1870 O'Clock when Mr. Baysrd

and called vigorously for Senator Gray.
He had left his sent and retired from tho
stage, Dut the audience persisted in their
demands until Chairman Bancroft an.
nounced that Mr.. Gray had gone. Aod
even then the audience remained calling
Tor various other apsakerp, until the
chairman formally declared the meeting
