SURE OF SYMPATHY.

Curry, has sand that the mission ano

HILLS LETTER.
AS DR.. Curry started TO read from a
letter of Senator Hill confrmatory OF
this view he was interrupted by ire
mendous applause and cheers. long
tinued and renewed at the mention OF
the Senator's name. The Doctor told with
great effect the story from the Uncle
Remus tales Of Joel Chandler Harris
about the old negro, the 'possum and the
other negro who stole It when it was
cooking, ate it and creased the owners
hands and whiskers with the fat When
he awoke he smet 'possum, and there
were the bones, but he didn't feel any
'possum where II ought TO have been.
He applied this to the wage question,
and the crowd roared with delight at the
opposite alluson. He referred with great
force and point to the late occurrences
at Homestead. the result OF Carnegie's
policy, and said the increased wages were

and platforms, and no more in the pos
session OF the workingmen than was that

old negro friend
The speaker next took up reciprocity
and fully elucidated Democratic doctrine
as to that measure Then coming to the
Mckinley bill he explained fully It's pro-
visions and explained that this measure |
was not for revenue. but for the protec-

comes back on the farmer. and he |
serted that as far as the agriculture Of /
the South, even the new South is con- |
cerned. she is no better off than in 1865. /
He was not speaking Of mining or cattle |
raising. Another objection to protec-
ton is the manner in which IL has de-
moralized and corrupted the politics Of
the nation. 1t promotes bad politics, for
the manufacturers combine and get the
Government in their hands. One said In
Philadelphia lately that the Mckinley
bill is ours we bought and paid for IT."
Hence they are called on for money, and
the fat frying goes on. and confidential
circulars are sent through the country
to those who can keep secrets.
CAMPAIGN DOODLE.
If the Government legislate privileges
In the interests of manufacturers will
they not pour ont their Doodle for cam
paign purposes? Cannot the Sugar Trust
and other trusts give their 100000 or
81 900, 900 when they know they can get ii
back in a year or two? The only possible
doubt as TO Cleveland's election lies in
the fact that millions Of dollars Will be
poured out by the Republican party to
and control the result. They
remember that the manufacturers con-
rOl the NFfiCo- holders and ~
willing to lose power, and are combined
TO continue the party I'm power.
The speaker then took up the Infamous
Force bill as he called 1t, which was con-
,octed by men like Harrison Reid, Lodge
and Davenport, 10 turn over the rights OF
he people at the balot-box 10 the Fed
sral Government. He cited recent in
stances Of attempts OF this kind upon the
iberties Of the people in the Re
public Of France, and referred to the
.VictOns In Ireland, and the oppression
IF the poor tenants there mentioning
hat seventy-four men own one-half the
