Cleveland Points Out the Iss3e5-
AZ Madison square garden on Wednesday
night, in the presence OF as great and en-
thusiastic an audience as was ever seen IN
New York, or elsewhere. Mr. Cleveland in
his address accepting the nomination OF the
Democratic party for President. pointed out
clearly and In vigorous language the Mo-
Kinley tariff and the force bill as the two
great Issues Of the campaign. They are the
issues that will occupy the press and the
campaign orators from now until the cleo
ton. The whole country is profoundly
interested in both OF them. There are other
Issues. but they are of small Importance
compared 10 sither Of these.
Most Of the svils from which the people
are now suffering now from the Mckinley
tariff-the taxing Of the whole people for
the benefit Of the few. The southern
farmer, for instance, has to pay tariff tar
on the pillow with which he oultivates his
fields, the hoe with which be cuts the grass
out OF his cotton. the ak with which he cuts
his fire wood. the reaping and moving ma
chimes with which he cuts his grain and
grass the ties and bagging in which his
cotton is sent to market, the clothes he
wears, and, In fact, about everything he
buys, with the exception, perhaps, OF few
groceries. Even the tax on the steel rails
of the roads which carry his cotton to mar
ket is burdensoms to him, because the tax
eventually has to be paid by the patrons OF
the roads.
And how is he benefited by the tariff
l. f-In and
cult to answer the question. The truth is
the people have not thought about this Nc
Kinley tariff as they should. They do not
realize how great burden it is. They pay
it In SO many ways and in such small
amounts at time that they do not know
how great the sum is that it takes out of
their pockets annually. But II they would
make careful study of 1t they would see
that 1t takes about all their profits, and, to
a larger extent than anything else, is re-
sponsible for their poverty.
No southern man ought to be indifferent
70 the evils which would follow the enact
ment Of force bill. Let such q bill as that
be passed and the Republican party would
undertake TO keep itself in power by means
Of the electoral votes Of the south. 1t would
appoint the deputy marshals and the cleo
ton officers, and it would see to it that the
black vote was placed to its credit, even
though the great majority Of the black
voters failed, as they now fail. to go to the
polls. The federal returning boards would
be its Instruments and they would be made
to do most effective work.

leaving the Democratic party, for one rea-
son or another, or who have left it, should
give further thought TO the two issues TO
which Mr.. Cleveland calls attention. and
about which the Peoples party seems to
have little concern, before finally deciding
to sever their relations with the party which
has done so much for them and for the whole
country. They certainly can find no fault
with Mr. Cleveland. He deals honestly with
the people and he is on their side on every
issue.
Read his letter Of acceptance and see
what he says about being frank with the
people: let us tell the people plainly
and honestly" he says, what we believe
and how we propose to serve the interest OF
the entire country, and then let us, after the
manner Of true democracy, rely upon the
thoughtfuluess and patriotism of our
fellow couutrymen." Could more than this
be asked of any oandidateG Mr.. Cleveland
has always insisted in dealing honestly with
the people. He has never resorted to decep-
ton or evasion. He trusts the people fully
and that is why all the efforts OF the most
astute politicians TO prevent his nomination
failed. He now points out the issues of the
campaign to them and tells them what they
may expect in the event Of defeat
