ADA, O., Oct. SIN his reply to Major
Mckinley, Governor Campbell said:
1 concur most heartily with Major
Mckinley that this is the greatest
and the best and the proudest nation
on earth. but, unlike him, 1 would
distribute that greatness and that wealth,a as
God distributed the dews of heaven, upon
the just as well as the unjust. [Cries of
"Give it to him."1
AS said at the outset, when 1 depicted
from the statistics the condition of the farm
ers, and spoke of the reduction of wages Of
workmcn, the answer is not in the words that
am a calamity striker, but by quotation
from somebody who says: "You mustn't
grumble." [Applause. A voice-"Hit him
another one."1
You men, the Findlay glassworkers, who
have had your meager wages reduced; you
steelworkers Of Cleveland, who have had
your little pittance cut down, you mustn't
grumble because your poverty adds to some
other mems worth. [Applause. Cries of
"give it to him" and "shoot him in the
neck"]
will take care of him now, if you will let
me alone. This is q good-natured fight, for
we are both good men and there is only one
of US can be Governor, and, as am there
already, why, perhaps I had better stay
there. daughter and applause.1
Nothing to Say on Wages.
The Major has spoken for an hour and a
half, but he has not said to me nor to this
audience why, with his bill raising the
tariff from Al to so per cent for the purpose
of raising wages, he has not pointed out
the wageworker in all this broad land who
n bod his has had
sweet things to say about sugar, for in
stance. Never mind about tin and wool, we
will get on to them very soon
You know the Republican song this year
is: "With sugar and tin, we are sure to win"
They took the tariff off sugar to make it
cheap, and they put the tariff on tin to make
it cheap [applausel, but no acrobat, how
ever skilled, was ever yet able to ride two.
horses going in different directions without
falling to the ground. [Applausel II free
sugar is good thing, will ask the Major,
and let him answer it out of my time,
whether sugar was not reduced by the Mills
bill, and whether, when in the Ways and
cussion, he did not oppose any reduction of
sugar. loud and continued applause.J
Come boy, let us have square deal now.
Major Mckinley said in reply to this ques-
ton:
want to say, gentlemen, in answer to the
very courteous inquiry, and the opportunity
which the Governor has given me, that the
Mills bill did reduce and proposed to reduce
the tarlu Oh sugar lcrles Vi Soou, 6oouJ
about 20 per cent. 1t was between Is and 20
per cent, as now remember. In the Ways
and Means committee room OF the House OF
Representatives IN tne last congress tnat

the tariff on sugar, raw ana renned, 5O per

and in the Ways and Means Committee.
