be produced as cheaply here as
anywhere in the world yet SO per cent of
the former tariff was added in 1883 to
protest it against n competition which
does not exist. 1t is shipped all over the
world. Applause. In the twenty.fi five
years since the war we lave doubled the
taxation in tariff. Who is benefited by
it and what have the farmers of Ohio
gotten out of 1t? IA voice, ~'razzle
dazzle. y
Gov. Campbell read FROM statistics of
the Republican secretary of 0hio's board
of equalization showing that in ten
years the appraised value of farm
lands has deprecated $9S, 900, 900.
The last census shows that in the last
ten years the state of Ohio has increased
in wealth S24S, 900, 900. How much have
the farmers gotten out of that? Governor
Campbell asserted as a fact that not one
farmer in a thousand in Ohio is as well
off toda, as in 1880. Right, that's a
fact" shouted many voices. | want
Maj. Mckinley when he replies to tell the
auditors where these men are who have
got better wages under his tariff. There
have been more than 800 great manu-
featuring establishments which have re-
duced wages since the passage OF the
Mckinley bill and | do not know one
which has increased them. Democratic
cheers. l hold in my hand
a list of thirty establishments, IN
Guiding C~arnepies, working $4,000
men in which organized labor is
banished.
1 ask Mckinley If he is in favor
of the Punishment of organized
labor from the great factories of the
country. Governor Campbell said IN
closing he understood the glass manu-
featured In Ohio is made by BelRians i'm
ported for the purpose, If he had his
way the first thing he would prohibit
would be the alien who comes here to
displace American workingmen without
the intention of becoming a citizen.
The Republican song this year is,
with sugar and tin we're sure to win"
They take the tariff off sugar to make it
cheap and they but it on tin TO make it
cheap, [Great laughter, but no acrobat
was ever yet able to ride two horses going
in different directions without falling.
The governor said Mckinley had as
serted after his bill passed wool would be
worth forty cents a pound. The only
thing you farmers need now is to find
some fellow to pay you that. Great
laughter.
KINLEY's III
Col. Howe, the Republican chairman,
introduced Maj. Mckinley amid great
cheering. The major said he proposed to
speak on the questions of silver and
taxation. On the former the Democratic
platform has declared for the free and uu-
limited coinage Of the silver of the world
as freely as gold is now coined and upon
ratios now fixed. The Republican party
stands opposed to that, insisting that il
cannot be safely done until the great com
mercial- nations shall have fixed the ratio
between gold and silver.
Governor Campbell said in one of his
speeches that | had voted for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. So | did. In
1877 L voted to reinstate the ancient silver
dollar to It's coinage. When | did It we
had 5000, 900 million silver dollars in cir
c~ulation and silver was more valuable
than today. We now have 4O5, 0OO, 900
silver dollars, and that s as much as we
can maintain at q parity with gold with
the price OF silver that prevails through
out the world. In 1886 Governor Camp
bell voted against the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. II. is for it now. He
was right then, he is wrong now.
Maj. Mckinley her reviewed at length
his stand on the tariff question.
At the conclusion OF his speech the
adherents of the great exponent OF high
tariff burst into PROLONGED applause and
it was some time before Governor Camp
bell could obtain order to reply. His re-
ply was brief. He said he had depicted
the condition of the farmer and the
majors answer was not only that he wa
a calamity croaker, but in the words of
somebody else, you mustn't grumble."
The major did not point out as he re-
quested one wage-worker in all this broad
land who had his wages raised by the
Mckinley bill.
At the conclusion of the joint debate
the speakers were taken in carriages and
under the escort of various marching
CLUBS were driven throughout the city
