THE EM'KINLEY MEETING
Continued From First Pace.


TLaughter] The Democrats base their
hopes on the misfortunes and calamitles of
the people. The Democrats can't stand
prosperity. The Senate. committee showed
not long ago how the price of necessaries
had dropped and labor had advanced. The
Labor Commissioners of Indiana, Massa-
chusetts and New York confirmed the re-
port The Democrats may arrest Mr.. Peck,
but they can't arrest the prosperity of the
people Think of them indicting man for
saying the people in the State are prosper
Gus and their wages have gone up. Why
that is not q crime.
Snow l want to say that every Repub-
lican vote should be cast iof the esRepublican
candidate for Congress in this district. You
can't vote your sentiments at Washington,
SO stand by the man, Mr., Acheson, who
would represent you. GApplause And 1
couldn't stop without saving a word for my
old friend Mr.. Lawrence, with whom
served in Congress SO long. He should
have your united support. Voices: "He
sball."l And don't forget to vote for Har-
rison and Reid. Mr.. Harrison is the man
who said to foreign nation that
this country had never taken orders from an
enemy before and did not propose to conf
mence now. The English papers are de-
claring for the election of Grover Cleveland.
They don't want our tariff That tariff was
made for you, and every Interest of the
country was invited to come in and help
make it. Washington county was heard in
behalf of wool. We had no thought all the
time except for the good of our country
men. The law is vindicating itself every
day.
Established New Industry.
"When the Democrats beat US two years
ago, the tariff law was only threeweeks old
too young to speak for itself. 1t is 20
months old now, and able to do its own
talking. We established new industry,
tin plate. HowIs of glee They call
them political mills. Well, am for the
politics that builds these mills every time.
l cannot believe that the people of this
country will consent to the overthrow Of
the economic policy under which they have
enjoyed such unexampled prosperity. I
cannot believe that people of this country
will reverse policy which has been in
operation now for more than 80 years of
our history and which presents at its close
results which could not have been attained
by any other system and which certainly
have not been accomplished in any other
country of the world.
''I cannot believe that the people of this
country can be induced 70 return to free
trade and wildcat money, free trade which
will disturb all values, revoiutionize the.
business of the country and reduce the
wages of labor, State bank circulation
which will bring disaster to the laborers
and producers of the country When a man
gives full days work to his employer he
is entitled to be paid in a dollar worth 100
cents, whether he works under free trade or
under protection. Free trade will bring
down the wages of our producers to the
level of that of their former rivals and
State bank circulation will rob them still
further of their earnings by compelling
them to take, in payment for their labor,
debased and worthless currency. The
adoption of either or both of these platform
declarations of the Democratic party is
traugnt with the gravest consequences and
which every good citizen should unite to
avert"
