part. Chairman Van Fleet asked each
side TO vie with the other in showing
courtesy TO the speakers, and introduced
Governor Campbell as the fearless leader
of the Ohio Democracy. The governor
opened with vivid word attack on pro
lection, saying that they were there 10
protest against the crimes committed In
Its name. He was compelled to stop by
the arrival of Mckinley club with
noisy band, and turned the laugh on
Mckinley with the remark: rPm sorry
the interrupters carry picture Of the
other man" Inthe course of his speech
Governor Campbell said:
Tho moments at my disposal are much
too few to properly present an indictment
against that overgrown monster masquer-
aiding In the garb of protection and sub
sisting upon, the wageworker and the
farmer. In the days of the French revo-
luton Madame Rollins protested against
the crimes committed in the name OF
liberty. 1 protest against the crimes COM
mitted in the name of protection, pro-
lection which increases the living necessi.
ties of the poor and produces reduction
of the wages of workingmen and women.
Our once proud commerce has been swept
from the seas and our once great commerce
has been abandoned and in their stead we
have the splendid palaces of the protected
manufacturer which crowds our hills,
while down in the valleys the Italian and
the bohemian are usurpin9 the rights and
privileges of the American workingman,
whose family crouch in the corner of their
hovel crying for bread. The wife of the
miner starves that protection may be pro
NOTED, while the coal barons are rolling
in wealth. There are women In our great
cities trying TO maintain life on 13 cents q
day that our infant industries may be pro-
tected The governor quoted from The
American Economist TO show that the
number of people in the United States
who owned their own homes had fallen
from five-eighths TO one-eighth in twenty
five years. Continuing, the governor said:
In 1850 the capitalists of this country
owned 81 1-2 per cent of our wealth. To
day they own more than one-half and they
live closer. Do they deserve better treat
ment at the hands Of Providence than the
farmer, the wageworker or the preacher,
the doctor and the lawyerp Whenever a
Democrat points to these facts and they
are statistical and undisputed, the only
answer we get is sneering allusion to the
calamity croaker. will read you an ex-
tract from Bradstreet, which Is accepted
in this country as fair financial journal.
He says the failures and liabilities in this
country have largely increased. The total
number of failures in the United States
for the first nine months of 1891 were
$500 as compared with 1858 during like
period of 1890, an increase Of II per cent.
Now, Major Mckinley said, when he ac-
cepted the nomination for congress in
1890, that if his bill passed the senate Qt
had then passed the house this country
would witness a greater boom than ever
known. pause to ask him, whore Is that
boom? With crops most abundant, more
so than in ten years; with drought and
famine abroad TO give us a market for
these crops, because there is no home
market for our surplus, all Of which is the
act of Providence, and but for which the
failures in 1891, under this benefcent
tariff, would be great deal worse than
they are
