Harrison was elected President. and it rose

passed the silver coinage bill, and to-day

The Republicans 10 the House had not the
aid of solitary Democratic vote in passing
| the silver bill. and he thought it would
| puzzle some of them to explain 10 their
constituents why they oppose measure sc
| full of importance to the coun,ry.>
| Mr.. Morrow then entered into review
of the history of tariff legislation in the
country, beginning with the protective
measure signed by Washington. He con-
| trasted the merits of the Mills Demo
cratic bill with these of the recent Act Of
| the Republican Congress. II was the duty
of the people to have the Mckinley bill
thoroughly tested in practical manner,
| in order that its imperfections. if any, may
be brought to light and corrected. 1t was
| the duty of Republicans to secure the sue.
cess of their party at the coming election,
and to return Republican members CT
Congress who will see that The provisions
of the bill are properly carried out.
The difference between tariff for rev.
enue only and of protective tariff was
explained by Mr. Morrow, and his frequent
telling points were received with hearty
applause.
He said that above all things, Americans
should give preference to their working
men in the struggle of life. When in
Chicago he saw California fruit adver-
tised everywhere throughout the city, and
in speech delivered at a meeting there he
told the people that they had bought 90
100000 pounds of California fruit this
season, and that it was protection for home
industries that gave them the wages for
their labor that enabled them to indulge
in home raised luxurie5 of that sort and
gave the producers hons market.
Referring to the hundreds of millions of
dollars in gold that was dug from the mines
in early days. under the Walker free trade
system, Mr. Morrow asked where it had
gone in few years. 1t wasn't here-lt had
not been burned-where was it? 1t had
gone, he said, to foreign countries TO pay
for the necessaries of life that had been i'm
ported therefrom. Now, under our protec-
ton system, our wealth is iDcreasing-the
money is kept at home, and our factories
are kept busy in supplying the demand.
Applause
The Mckinley bill had been denounced
as burden upon the poor man. 1t was
true it had increased the duty on such
things as French champagne, French
brandy, Havana cigars, pearl buttons.
French ribbons. and few such "necessi-
ties of life" If there were any working
men in the audience who would feel OPP
pressed by the extra tax on champagne and
such things. be would like to have a look
at him. Applause 1t is proposed to
give the people our own champagne to
drink-lf they want to drink it-American
ribbons, American pearl buttons, American
made tinware and other American indus
trial products, and thus break up the
English monopoly that in years past kept
down our manufactures and blocked the
wheels of industrial progress. Applause
Even as a relief from taxation, the Nc
Mckinley bill went further than the
Mills bill, as it reduces the revenues sew
eral million dollars more than the latter.
From 81. 100000 against US in the balance
of trade during the last year OF Cleveland
administration, what did his auditors sup
pose the change had amounted to after one
year of President Harrison's administra-
ton? No less than 500 600 600 That was
the difference between our imports and ex-
ports, and that much money saved to the
people. [Applause.]
Mr.. Morrow said, should see to it that
their candidates, from the top to the bot
tom of their ticket, are elected-especially
their Congressman tMr. Mckenna), who
had served them faithfully and ably. 1t
was equally important thai Republicans
should elect their legislative candidates, as
the coming Legislature will be called upon
to redistrict the State, both for members of
the Legislature and Congressman. A
United States Senator is to be elected by
the next Legislature, and the Republicans
should remember their duty when they go
to the polls on election day.
WELL RECEIVED.
Mr.. Morrow spoke for nearly two hours,
and his speech was one of the most argu-
mentatiye beard at political gathering
here in many day. There were probably
two thousand people in the hall, and al
though he INDUCED in no attempts
at oratory, but appealed solely to
the reason of his auditors and gave
them cold facts for mental d.
gestion, he held them to the last. No
speech was ever listened 10 more attentively.
1t was clear and able calculation of the
| tariff question, from the Republican stand
point, and on all sides men and women
were heard to declare that never before had
| they heard the subject so thoroughly
| handled, nor its intricacies made SO plain
to the ordinary understanding.
At the close of Mr.. Morrow's address
cheers were given for him, for Markham
| and for the entire Republican ticket.
BANQUET.
Immediately after the meeting at the
| Pavilion Mr.. Morrow was taken in charge
| by committee from the Suffer Club and
| escorted to the clubs elegant home al
| Fourth and ] streets. Here banquet was
given in his honor. Several speeches were
| made and good time was had generally
