out OF them by laws constructed in the in
terests OF the manufacturers of the East
The mention of the name of Grover
Cleveland at this moment set the audi
ence fairly wild, and 1t seemed the peo-
pie would never stop applauding the
name OF the popular eX-president. The
trip of President Cleveland through the
west In 1887 was mentioned, and the
origin of the famous tariff message of
that year was attributed to the infOrma-
ton which Mr.. Cleveland gained of the
shameful manner in which he found
the people of this great West
Were Being Plundered
by the protected monopolies of the
East.
THAT message defeated Grover Cleye-
land" said the Saltwater statesman in an
1mpassioned burst, but fifty years later
when partisan prejudice shall have melted
away Grover Cleveland will be accorded one
OF the first places in the history of this coun-
try, An impartial historian will then write
down Washington as the earliest flower of
oqr civilization; Lincoln as the next great
figure, and then he will write the name of
mat statesman, patriot, orator and scholar,
Grover Cleveland.''
The platform which Mr.. Cleveland
gave his party in his famous message
Mr.. Castle declared was one on which
the conquest OF the country was newt
able. This would 5e so because 1t
chamDioned the cause of the people,
suffering from clear local and unjust
legislation. Either the principles
enumerated by Grover Cleveland must
obtain or the hope of the world in the
stability of this republic must pass
away.
The three great occupations or indus
tries government must have in order
to be prosperous are agriculture, COM
merce and manufactures, and they
must follow each other in that order.
IhlS was the case up to 1860, and the
policy of the government was to foster
them in that order. The Morrill, tariff
bill of 1862 was justified only ON the
grounds OF great necessity, for up to
that time taxes had been levied with
reasonable
Fairness to All Classes.
The absurdity of saying that this Nor
rill tariff law is now good thing and
ought to be made worse was referred to
and the prOtectiOnists of the Morrill,
order were refuted by their own utter
ances made years ago. In 1860 agri-
culture represented 55 per cent Of the
wealth OF the country, commerce came
next and manufactures last. To-day
agriculture is represented by q per cent
only. our commerce has disappeared and
the manufactures dominate everything.
The decline OF the American mer-
chant marine was pictured, and the fact
that not one of the great ocean lines fly
the American flag. New England and
Pennsylvania do not have enough men,
berS of congress to control things, but
the manufacturers of those states die
tated and passed the Mckinley bill.
Mr.. Castle had nothing to say against
Capt. Snider. but the fact was that he
had represented Pennsylvania in the
house during the last session. and not
the great Fourth district of Minnesota.
The reception given Mr.. Castle was
hearty at the commencement, but it was
even more hearty at the close of his
speech. He held his audience, large as
1t was, and the men who had stood up
in the aisles for three long hours asked
him to go on. At the conclusion
OF his speech Gen. johnson read
few of the articles like arsenic, cat
gutS. acorns and ashes placed on the
free list by the Mckinley bill. and then
proposed three cheers for the next gov
ernor Of Minnesota and tile next con-
gresham from the Fourth district.
These cheers were given with spirit
that demonstrated the zeal and earn
eStneSS of the vast audience.
