TIE SENATOR'S SPEECH
Introduced by Chas. b. Aycock, Esq.
as ''the greatest North Carolinian,
living or dead" Senator Vance
spoke in substance as follows.
He began by stating that he was
just from the conflict at Washington
where he had been giving his best
efforts to opposing the adoption of
the iniquitous tariff bill, and watch
ing the legislation and endeavoring
| to secure such as would not be I'M
just to our people.
He complimented the people of
the State on their adherence to
Democratic principles and urged
upon them that no consideration
should divert them from their steady
support of the Democratic party,
| which was the conservatism Of their
peace and safety. The safety and
| welfare of the South was identical
with the triumph and permanence
of Democratic principles.
THE FORCE BILL.

in the North and the force bill now
pending in the Senate will surely
pass unless the Democrats can pre-
vent by dilatory motions;
The Senator then went on to
show how offensive the law could
be made if the force bill should
pass; how that Republican super
vIsors would do all the registration
of voters, count all the ballots, give
certificates of elections, and be
clothed with power to call in the
army and navy Of the united states
to assist them in suppressing cleo
tions. "It is to this Goddess crew
that we arc to look for honest gov
ernment and honest elections"

That he had SAID boldly among
enemies of our section what he said
to day, that the financial policy of
the country as administered by the
Republican party is hostile to the
interest of the masses, and in the
interest of certain favored classes,
Under this policy immense fortunes
have been umulated and trusts
have sprung up and reaped the
fruit which should have come tC
honest labor. The agricultural and
laboricg classes have not held theil
own but have generally followed
behind.
That policy led to the demonitiza
ton of silver, which was accom-
plished in 1878, partly by fraud and
+ partly by intent on. The legisla
ton demOnetiZing silver was SO con
cealed among the mass of laws il
: the Revi. ed Statutes that man.
, members of Congress did not know
l that they voted for it and Presi
!, dent Grant afterwards stated tina
+ he did not know that he approved
it. Sc great was ard is the poWe
S of the bond-holders that this frau(
+. has never been wiped out and The
, statute repealed. The bill to re
:, monetize silver, supported by him
y was recently killed in the Hous
through the efforts of Speaker Reed
= and a substitute passed whic'

e in the discretion Of the Secretary Q
the Treasury who is under the in
fiuence of views which he :htain
Y In Wall street.
= THE TARIFF.
t The Senator discussed the tariff &
!, considerable length, and shove
! that while factories, &C., re .eive
= berefits from the tariff, the farme
y received none, and oaiC all tn
. profits that the manufacturers ef
I joyed. The Senator illustrated tn
d way Republican Senators from farm
: ing States were helping the farmer
q down South. Senator Davis, c
q Minnesota, offered an amendmer
:, - to the tariff bill putting bindin
e - twine, made of jute, &C., on tn
Il free list. Every Democrat vote
a for it and it was adopted. Nant
g then offered an amendment putin
q jute bagging on the free list, an
# every Republican except one vote
against it. Bin,ling tw ne was use

d binding wheat-bagging was Use
Is at the South. The Senator though
Il +In Uactnry, pnnrhl 100
IT Senators were talking right on tn
2 tariff, but he found that they vote
as they had always done, for his
tariff, though they were apparent
anxious about the farmers NOV
l. ment in the West.
When the Republican Senate
~ voted against his amendment al
e defeated it, he told them that the
~ acts illustrated the difference /
tween Democrats and Republican
10 that Democrats voted from prln
ir pie and Republicans "played for
ot in sight"
