Major Another Raking.
I ADA, o., Oct. Swallowing Maj. Nc
Kinley and closing the debate, Mr.
Campbell said:
II concur most heartily with Mai. Nc
| Kinley that this IS the greatest and best
and proudest nation on earth, but, I'M
like him, l would distribute that great
ness and that wealth as God distributes
the dews of heaven. upon the unjust as
we'll as the just. Prolonged applause
and cheersl. L depicted the condition
| of the farmer, and the answer of the
major is not only that | am calam-
ity croaker, but, in the words of
somebody else, you must not grumble'.
| Laughter. You Findlay glassworkers
| who have had your meager wages re-
| duced, you Steelworkers, of Cleveland,
who have had your pittance further cut
| down, you must not grumble because
! your poverty adds so some other mans
wealth Cheers. A voice: Give it to
| him. i will take care of him now if
| you will just let me alone [laug liter.
| This is good-natured fight, for we are
| both good men. However. as only one
| OF us can be governor, and
l am there already, why, per-
haps, l had better stay, great
laughter]. The major has not pointed
| out one wagewOrker, as | requested
him. in all this broad land who has had
| his wages raised on account of the Nc
KiEley bill. [Applausel. The Republic
can song this year is With sugar and
| tin we are sure to win' GLaughterl.
They take the tariff off sugar to make It
cheap. and they put the tariff on tin to
make 1t cheap. Great laughter. But
no acrobat was ever yet able to ride two
horses going in different directions with
| out falling to the ground. Renewed
laughterl. will ask whether sugar
was not reduced by the Mills bill, and
| whether in the ways and means COM
mittee, when the question was up for
discussion, he did not oppose any re-
| duction in sugar"
Il want to say in answer to the cour-
| teous query of Gov. Campbell" said
| Maj. Mckinley. that the Mills bill did
reduce the tariff on sugar [gOod, good
about Is or 20 per cent. In the ways
and means committee room of the House
| of Representatives in the last congress
| that revised the tariff / was in favor of
reducing the tariff on sugar, raw and re-
! fined, so per cent, thinking we might
need the revenue, aud giving no bounty
| TO the sugar producers. That was my
| position. ApDlaUse]."
| 81 just want to KNOW" resumed Gov.
Campbell, whether the people owe all
| OF that free sugar to the Major or not,
| and L have found they do not.
| Laughter. We are told binding Irvine
| Is cheaper now than before the McKin-
ley bill passed. So 1t is, because the
duty was reduced. but Major Mckinley
! opposed that reduction and complained
that the duty of seven-tenths of cent
was entirely too low. [Applause]. We
are paying about Sl6, 100000 duty
upon tin, an increase of 81, OO0, 900
under the Mckinley bill. Fin
ALLY, they claimed to est
| ablish the industry in Piqua. There is
| man in this audience who was told by
| the proprietor of the Piqua iron works
| that he had got 500 for establishing that
industry. LGreat laughter. The 500 was
| spent establishing that industry in the
purchase of stamp to make badge in
scrloed made out of steel and Califor-
MA tin. Laughter.l ['How about the
SO-cent dollar cried some from the
audience.l Maj. Mckinley in congress-"
replied the governor" said that the Re-
publican party had done ali The finan-
clal legislation IN this country for years.
If there is any s0-cent dollar in this
country, it is Republican dollar"
The governor now devoted some time
to refuting the Republican claims that
tin was being manufactured in the
~ biICO OtdtSS. lIlolSL6U GIldJ lUt rev
samples were merely being manufact-
ured for campaign purposes. Again
the cries of "silyer, silver" broke out
from the audience. and the din became
almost uncomfortable. 1.-The only trou-
bic | and my friends have about the
money of this COUNTRY" said the gov
ernor, lis not as to the kind of dollars
we get, but as to the distribution
of these dollars among the peo-
pie fright, right,'l and Demo
cratic applansel. The major predicted
that after his bill wool would be worth
40 cents pound. The only thing you
farmers need Row is TO find some fellow
who will pay You That fGreat laughter
and appiausel. John Sherman SAYS the
effect for protection in all industries
has been to greatly reduce the price.
so the NNce of Your wool is to be re-
duced by the tariff laughter The
MAYOR wants to know if ! would put
tariff on tea and coffee? My
answer is that under the Dem
ocratic tariff from 1916 to 1851
tea and coffee were free Tap
plausel and when the Republicans
put them on the free list they only
made that one step in the direction of
the good old Democratic days. PRO
loBgrd applause and cheers.l
At the conclusion of the Joint debate
the two speakers were taken in a cal
riage. and, under escort of various
marching clubs. were driven through
out the city. while cannon doomed and
bands played in triumph.
