Arizona weekly citizen., 1890-11-08

succeeded ID procuring the only known
 copy in Arizona, of Mir. Smiths great measure for the speedy confermations
 of land grants on the grant claimants ! The above shows conclusively how
 false and subtle Smith can be.
 Hon. W. F. Nichols spoke briefly and
 to the point. His attitude was the
 platform. He favored economy and re-
 duction in expenses, and the straight
 forward manly way compared favorabiy
 with the abusive manner of his ap-
 opponent Brady.
 Mir. Nichols remarks were in line with
 the party platform and fepetition is
 superfluous. He made an excellent i'm
 pression by his straightforward course
 The chair then introduced Col. Za- | brlskIe and for more than an hour and a
 half that gentleman held his audience
 spell-bound-I IThe.speech was an elo iuent pIe5e Of oratory; caustic and cutting in
 It's sarcasm and a plain exposition of political truths backed up by hard facts | and figures. 4 thorough circulation of SNSh opCCCu bilc with It's tsrSe, reasonable argumeG
 would have been of great value to the
 territory. 1t IS impossible to more than
 touch upon some of the principal topics and then only portion.
 Col Zabriskie charged Mark Smith with evading every question which has
 been put to him on the platform and through the press. The people expect their rspresentive when he comes back, even if he prefers to avoid his personal exploits, to at least mention the tariff, the greatest question now being agitated in the world. The Col. turned his attention to the Mckinley bill and showed how It had reduced taxation | in comparison with the Mills bill. which l increased the same. The Mckinley bill | was fathered and fostered and discussed | openly by ana before tho people. The | conclave of democratic ring leaders. 4 | large amount of valuable statistical | matter was then given ths audience | from the new tariff practical showing | wherein the Mckinley bill was all that | it clalmed to be in favor of American interests One of the best evid, nces people IS in the opposition sEo,. y -.
 ".ill of the fathers of this greaG Re tionlsts, Washington, Hamilton, Jeffcr son, Madison. Lincoln, Grant-Fsder- eralists and democrats stood alike.
 Up to 1860 the United States was a pauper and a medicant on Europe under democratic free trade. It took the repub ublIcan party from 1860 to 1874 to bring the balance of trade, for- first time in our history, in our favor, and it was accomplished through the protective tariff. From 1874 to the election of Cleveland save one year, the balance of trade remained in our favor uxder republican protec- tion. In 1874, the first year under pro- tection our exports exceeded imports SIS, S,876,690. Five years later the ex- ports exceeded imports S264, ,661 ,666. In the second year of Cleveland's admins tration the balance of trade wen' against us and remained so till Harrison's ad | 
 In reply to democratic howl of ex tr8vagance the speaker, callei attention to the Arthur's administration, :, which was the last before Cleyeland's. The fret year of Cleveland's administra- { ton cost S11,OC0,OOO more than the last year of Arthur's, and Cleveland's third year exceeded Arthur's last by s15,OOO,- |, poo.
 The democratic party were only two years in overthrowing the magnificent , trade balance which the republicans had been 10 years in building up.
 Relying to the demagogic cry of 1 1emocratic politicians, that the rich men gets every hing under the tariff system, Col. Zabriskie showed by sta I tistics that wages in the United States under protection tariff had advanced I l8 per cent and the hours of work were !, shortened. The laborers )f the United States received in 1880 [ 3, 100000 more than all the vast army )f laborers in whole Europe. AS another proof of beneficen. effects of c 5he tariff on the laboring man is was f shown that the lab9ring man 1t Eng and in 1880 had S1S3, 100000 deposited t n the savIngs banks, while the laboring nen of Massachusetts had on deposit he same time S317 100000. England's C population is 30,000,OO0; Massachusetts 1, ,750,OOO.
 After an exhaustive treatment of the ariff the speaker turned his attention to local matters. He took up Smith and proceeded to do him up brown on both ] sides. He advised Smith to read from lis prototype the early Marcus, ,Aurelius II md quoted for him one of that good il mans sryings. ''Never shirk your luty, but when you are caught, take I Tour medicine like man." A number a ,f Imaginable anecdotes were dedicated to Smith and Zulick.
 He showed the reason why the presi- V lent vetoed the crooked railroad n oill," and read from the presidents that the veto was given because t Mark Smith had deceived him. f
 He advised as the only method to stop democratics from lying to go to the g polls and wipe them out. i;
 Col. Zabriskie closed his speech with in eloquent operation on Free Schools S and Old Glory. He administered a scath- :. ing rebuke on he democrats who were seeking to curtail our educational ia a cilities, and made an earnest plea for more schools. "For Gods sake" he said, whatever else you do educate your T and be an American, true to the tradictions of the flag, and the Union and prosperity.
