The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1891-10-08
GOV. oAMPBELL AT BELLA1RE.

Gov. Campbell spoke to two great
meetings yesterday In Belmont county.
According to the Pittsburg Dispatch,
his open air, night meeting at Bel
mont, was the largest and most enthu-
siastic meeting yet held in the state, by
either party. The Governor made two
new speeches and some capital hits.
In the afternoon he spoke to 5000
people at the county fair at st. Clairs-
vile, and at night some 10 900 people
crowded the streets of Bellaire, more
than was possible for any speaker to
address. AT the fair, in the after
noon the President of the fair associa-
tion, who is Republican, told Gov.
Campbell to go ahead and mako any
kind of speech he liked. We make q
few extracts
"The issue in this fight Is an economi-
cal one. "a woman-'Keep on and you
will get the best of it.D Yes, 1 think IL the
women voted would get the best OF II.
Down at my home we raise hogs and corn.
We make starch and meal out Of the lat
ter. Here you raise protected sheep. The
price of the fleece is little short this
year. (Smiles.) You were promised 40
cents per pound under the tariff. What
you want TO do now is TO find the sucker
who will pay 1t. Uaughter)

sugar question. We quote.
"Wby Is II that sorghum farmers OF Kan
sas and the maple sugar men OF New
England should be paid a bounty and you
get nothing on your wheat and corn
Does anybody ever try to defend the pay
ment OF a bounty on products raised by
farmers2 You are getting more sugar for
dollar, but you are getting less Of every.
thing else. (Howls of delight) don't
see anybody wearing Mckinley badges
these days. "a voice: "They don't wear
them anymore.) AT Piqua they paid 800
to stomp O lie on the tin. This is all they
had invested. Neidringhaus, of st. Louis,
he claimed, but the newspapers hunted
him down. l don't want the Republicans
here TO die Of lead poisoning by using
American tin. want you TO live, repent
and vote the Democratic ticket.n
In speaking of the great night meet
ing in Bellaire, the Pittsburg Dispatch
(Rep.) correspondent says:
"The widest kind OF enthusiasm pre-
vailed in town, red fire was burned and
fore the meeting the Governor was forced
to hold reception at the hotel. The city
was full of home and visiting Democrats.
They swarmed around Mr.. Campbell and
he spent some time bowling and shaking
hands. The crowd was yariously estimat-
said II was the largest meeting held In the
State this fall. 1t was not scattered
audience, but the people stood shoulder
to shoulder. They were jammed together
like sardines."
Among many other good and true
things Governor Campbell said:
"The tariff has been advanced 25 per
cent, and / want to know how much your
wages have been put upHn A voice
They have been reduced in the glass
housed.
"W6y, my friend, you must be Demo-
cratic tin plate liar" Laughter.1 "Down
in 'front.'" yelled the crowd.
"They can't get down any lower,n re-
piled the Governor. "You can't reduce
them, as they do your wages. There are
pottery, iron and steel workers here. The
tariff has been advanced, have your wages
been increased?" lCries, "No, No, No."l
RAISING A TARIFF RACKET.
"If the tariff put wages in your pocket,
then l won't complain about 1t; II II does
not, then will be one of the first to raise
racket that will wipe out the Republican
party. understand Mr.. Goff said that II
Major Mckinley we're in West Virginia
they would elect him Governor by ACCLAIM
alton. Well, that was more than they did
Of the flag and ships laden going abroad.
At the close of the war we had a maQnifi-
cent navy. The Republicans spent 1884,
900, 900 on IL, and now q mackeral scow
could sink any of our vessels.
"Our flag has become lonely on the high
seas. This Is the result of Republican
rule. Take off the tariff, allow commerce
to move unvexed on the ocean and we will
soon see the flag flying in distant waters.
Your laws have destroyed commerce. The
flag Is left to your country. You never
see IL anywhere else. The other day Chilli
frantically locked Minister Eagan in his
house and the Cabinet sat terrified at
Washington"
The Governor then made a vigorous
talk on protection, in its bearing on
wages. He mentioned 30 iron and steel
plants that had banished labor unions.
A number are in Pittsburg. The labor
cost In making ton of steel rails in
England is $11.32: in the United States
it is 11.59, difference of q cents. Gov
ernor Campbell said that tariff of $13
was put on to equalize wages. He read
| letter from man in Trenton reaf-
| firming the statement that the wages
of potters there had been cut 10 per
cent since the tariff went into effect.
The plants also have been idle half the
| time. The workmen struck and they
compromised for a cut of per cent.
