tory. in 1sss. the people Of the United
States trusted Us with their political power.
: [Cheers.l Now the first power was power
10 appoint officers, 10 appoint postmasters,
and ali the officers of this great government
Of ours, and that power instead Of being
streng to any party Is a weakness 70 a1y
I party, aad nearly all public men who fall
IN public life by the wayside fall By the
! exercise Of patronage. l ray to you now
that II l had the power | would not allow a
member Of congress to recommend any
man for any Office whatever. ICheersl,
COMING REFoRM.
81 would take from your political agents
I all the power invested in them By custom,
not BY Law. / would take from them all
that power and l would not even allow
members Of congress to recommend post
4 masters, because II is an elsmeut Of weak
ness. l. weakens a member of the House
and the senator and it makes cause Of con-
slant trouble and quarrel, ana | tbink the
/ time will soon come aud the Repub-
I lican party will be the agent in that
/ great reform, when a law will be passed
separating entirely the appointing power
from TIE Law maxi. & power.
The M'KINLEY BILL
my countrymsn, by far the most i'm
portant measure in range and scope
acted on this session Of congress,
was what is called the Mckinley
tariff bill. Immense applause A
kind Of Pennsylvenia-Ohio Dutchman,
! it was properly named after Mr.. Mckinley,
/ because by his indomitable pluck, his ability
and his energy it was pushed through the
House after great opposition, because the
| democrats, as usual. opposed that as they
opposed everything else. Laughter. Now
We say In the first place on such articles Of
luxury, such as brandy and wine and cham
payne, and all these things, and
tobacco and all expensive Injuries
Of every kind, the duty should be the very
highest for revenue only. They are in with
our democratic friends. The Mckinley
tariff bill makes f. ee a greater amount Of
production of foreign countries in our own
country than any tariff bill Of ancient OF
modern times.
TO BECOME SUGAR PRODUCERS.
'5ome democratic orator said, we
can't produce sugar My fellow
oitizens, l am as positive as
am of my existence to-day that within
ten years from this time we will produce
every pound of sugar used in this country
on our farms. Applause The farmers
will raise the product and the manufacturer
will build these great machines TO press out
the juice and reduce it to sugar, and this
great industry, probably employing goo
people in this country, will soon be built up
| Ia our country.
TIE DUTY ON TIN PLATE.
1--WE have put duty on tin plate and
| equally more than the duty on sheet iron,
and the esult is that we will manufacture
in this country of ours within very short
time. and you h tSburg people especially,
because it was largely upon your influence
and upon the influence Of others that it was
done, We Will make within five
years of this time $4,000 tons
| Of plate tin and we will
make tin cup so cheap that nobody will
growl but the democrats. [Applause.1 Why
shouldn't we do it, l am tod that now
already in Baltimore they are getting
| ahead Of you. They have a capital organ
lied of s.. 900 to go to work to make tin
plate. Of which we import now 800, 900 tons,
| and il you Pitsburgers don't hurry up you
will get behind III this race and you
; ought to be in the lead. What do the
democrats say to thisi What did they saya
| They said we were raising the price of all
the tin ware. and the devil was to blame for
it generally"
| no MUGwUMPs WANTED.
There ought to be no half breeds in the
republican camp. You are all republicans.
One man is nothing, two men are less than
| nothing [aughterl and dozen men don't
go at all. Laughter and applause.l You
give me tho sentiment of the masses
| Of the people; you give me the
average Judgment of such mass
of men as are now before me, you give me
their opinion without regard to persons or
names provided they are honorable men
and that judgment is right. In 1860. in
good old democratic times, our currency
was the meanest that ever was devised by
man. aud would not pass from one part Of
the country to the other, and when you
crossed the state line you would have to
pay premium. Now it travels all over
the world.
THIRD CLASS POWER.
Then we were a third-class power. jeered
at, and when tho war commenced, the last
legacy of the democratic administration.
kings and emperors and queens were waite
ing for the decay and falling to pieces of
this great republic OF ours. The govern
ment was tottering to its foundations. Now,
thank God, thank the union soldiers, thank
the American people, this country of ours
has ri en- far above and beyond all fears OF
this kind, and now the people Of all these
empires and those kingdoms are looking
eagerly and auxiously for the good times
coming when they can copy our institutions
and enjoy republics as we do IN this country.
Then the days Of empires and kings will
have passed and gone, and then govern
ments Of the people, for the people and by
tee people will inure forever upon earth.
Prolonged cheering and applausel
