YOUNGSTOWN, o., September 30
Gov. Campbell addressed large audi
ence at the Opera House tonight. The
meeting was opened by Hon. S. d.
Dodge, of Cleveland, who occupied the
attention OF the audience for half
hour, the Governor having been de-
layed in reaching the place Of meeting.
1t was half past 9 o'clock when the Gov
ernor began his speech, and he was
accorded an enthusiastic reception.
The Governor opened his speech by de-
scribing his progress through the
Western Reserve, and announced that
there had been enough large and en-
thusiastic meetings to cause this section
TO reverse the usual order of things and
roll up a Democratic majority. This
election, said he, means more than the
mere personal of the next Cover
ner. Major Mckinley stands for all
that is excessive and impressive in the
line of taxation. 1t is no use trying to
hide the issue. 1t is no use in John
Sherman attempting to set up false
theory on the silver question; neither
will it do for him to branch off and
talk about wanting honest cleo
tions. We have arranged for
that very thing in Ohio, and Mr.. Sher-
man and his party will have them
whether they like it or not. They, Major
Mckinley and John Sherman, made the
issue. Now, why don't they stand up
and fight for them? am here to say
for the Democrats of Ohio that we are
going to fight that bill. Why don't
Major Mckinley stand up for his own
production and give blow for blow?
The Governor then quoted Secretary
Blaine on the tariff question and Nc
Kinley bill, and said:
"No, the Major refuses to debate the
tariff question with me. hope he will
at least stand up and make an effort to
keep up his end of the Joint debate. In
1868 when the tariff duties were not
near so high as they are now, when we
were trying to save the union and did
not care how much it was going to cost,
John Sherman in public speech
pointed out the advantage OF less
restriction on the trade between ma
tlons. If we must put up with reciproc-
ity, don't confne reciprocity to the
overtaxed and warlike nations to the
south of us, but let US begin with Miss
Canada, the fair, white, intelligent and
attractive neighbor TO the north OF US"
The Governor then took up the Ques-
tion of wages, and made comparison
of the wages paid in the high tariff and
low tariff centres Of the globe. He
asked if there was any member OF his
audience to name single industry that
have raised wages on account of the
passage Of the Mckinley bill. "You
can't name one. l can name hundreds
of cases where wages have been re-
duced."
Z The Governor then referred to the
reduction Of wages of the firm of Car
negie & Co.. announced in this morn
iDg's papers. He said Mr.. Carnegie had
pocketed many millions OF dollars dur
ing the first ten years by means Of the
high tariff, and of course he could not
be blamed for being heartily in favor
of the bill, but now it is time
for the people to take the matter in
hand, organize a trust and cutdown the
salary of Mr.. Carnegie. We will not go
abroad and import assistance to take
care of the cases of men like Carnegie.
We leave this to Mr.. Carnegie"
The Governor then furnished figures
to show that American labor was rap
idly being degraded and humiliated by
the importation of foreign labor. The
only Chinese wall that he would erect in
this country would be wall at Castle
Garden to keep out imported workmen
that come over for the sole purpose of
under-bl| American labor.
