c. inundated, and fully three fonr,hs
of the SEATS were occupied by ladies
The occasion for this numerous, ~.
semhlage was the appearance of the.

Sullivan.
IN SULLIVAN,
Republican nominee for Supreme
judy of Idaho, was the FIRST speaker.
lie said: We have mt to discuss
the issues between the two great
political parties. 1t is righ4 ard
proper that We should assemble to
discuss the great principles that de-
eide our veal or woe. he po>;ti. n
he occupies upon III" State ticket is
one somewhat removed from politics,
hence, at the outset h. had d-t+rmin.
Ell not to APPEAR on the stump. But
he had \i-ldt d t, the solicitations of
his leig hbors and frit nds for this oc-
casion out of conviction that the
Justices of the Supr, me Coult sh' ud
occasionally discuss party principles
II such discussion will benefit tn. peo-
pie.
The Democratic party has declared
itself sqnareh for tariff for rev. nue.
only The r publican platform.
with even great'r emphasis, is for
tariff not onl y tor revenue. but for
pr, lection. Four hundred millions
of do lars must BE- raised, every year,
to run our government. How shall
that amount be raised with the least
burden to the people? The Re
publican patty proposes 10 raise that
amount in the very b. st way by pro.
tecting our labor aud industries
against pauper foreign labor. Thrice
in this country have W. had experience
with so called tariff for revenue onlv.
During one of these periods CoIo"e!
Benton, Unit. d States S. nator from
Missouri, and leading Democrat,
stated the situation very t rsr ly and
with realism positively striking, as
follows:
No price for property, no sale, ex>
cpp, those of the Sheriff and the Mar
shal, no purchasers at execution sales
except the creditor or some h"arler
OF MONEY; no cmp'oyt ment f"r 'n>
dustry, no d. maud tor labor, no sale
for the rrnhu, is If the farm, TO sound
of thu hamm.r except that OF the auc-
tinneer knocking down property.
Distress WAS the universal cr> OF the
people, relief the universal demand.
Relief came at last by the enact
ment of the protective tariff of 1874.
We had a similar exp. Renee in the
sos. and again in lS57-all due to "a
ta,iff for revenue onlv" Are we g">
,np 60 again trust the party that
brought about such state Of affairs?
Do We want a fourth experience OF
this kind?
Is Germany free trade nation? Is
France? Russia? ANY of the great
Powers? Is England herself? Not
by any means!
Americans could net live upon the
wages paid in free trade countries.
They could not eat and sleep and ell
ucate their children upon such q
pt,anre.
The speaker, after dwelling at some
length up"" silver, le"d' Stat hood
