NEW DIRK, september Eo.-Ine OIeVe-
land demonstration at the Academy OF
Music, Brooklyn, tonight, the second OF
the campaign, given under the auspices OF
the Kings county Cleveland and Steven
son campaign clubs, was neither as large
nor as enthusiastic as the one held Few
nights previously when Senator Hill spoke.
Mr. Edward NJ. Sheppard introduced the
speaker of the evening in the person OF Mr..
Thos. F. Bayard, who was enthusiastically
received.
He said in part: SIN the Presidential
election Of 1892 the people must decide the
road they are To take. The Republicans
plainly show they intend to proceed fur
ther and further in using the great essential
and sovereign power Of taxation to create
private prosperity, TO use the power OF the
government in paternal supervision, to con-
troll the industrial pursuits of thousands III
certain occupations, and even TO create oc-
cupations not heretofore existing, and this
is TO be accomplished by levying taxes
upon the imports.
sit is the employment of the sovereign
power to create private prosperity. 1t Is
upheld by the Republican party every
where and enthusiastically favored by its
Presidential candidate"
Then Mr. Bayard criticised President
Harrlson's letter Of acceptance and the Nc
Kinley doctrine of protection, and pro-
ceeded "If our flag is not to be seen on the
high seas, is 1t not, l ask you, because Re
publican trade policy has driven 1t off9 Is
IL too much TO assert that nothing
but the reversal Of these poll cies
will ever restore it, The tax
that is only for revenue encourages COM
merce becauseit depends upon the increase
OF importations TO make the commerce.
The question is when you tax, for whom do
YOU taxa When you lay the burden on the
people, for what do you lay itl What shall
be the measure and when, in Gods name,
shall the burden reach its maximum!
Restricted importation not only means
diminished revenue to the government, but
equally restricted markets for American
products; restricted markets mean dimin-
ished demand, and that means diminished
employment and the lowering Of wages"
Touching on the homestead difficulty
Mr.. Bayard said: "One effect that must
survive the dreadful collision is that the
highest wages paid in America are paid In
the employment where there is no protec-
tion at all
AS soon as the applause had subsided,
Mr.. John D. Herman, presiding officer at
the anti-snap convention in Syracuse last
MAY, was introduced.
AS a prominent anti-snapper his utter
ances upon the general Democratic sltu-
alton constituted the significant portion of
his speech He said:
prior to the Chicago convention we
Democrats had some differences of opinion;
we criticized candidates freely, contended
with each other for party control and su-
premacy vigorously, and in the heat
of discussion talked to each other
and about each other in
frank, open, Democratic way, which occa-
sionally ignored parliamentary rules, STUN
bled over the laws of politeness and gave
great delight to our Republican brethren,
who are not without much expert ence Of
that sort themselves.
"But that is all past, and tonight the
Democrats Of the United States are one in
their sentiments and their aspire tions. The
Democratic party is free running horse
in this campaign, while the Repuo-
lican party is already bleeding un-
der the whip and spur OF its
riding candidate, who is obviously
still intent upon again leaving well known
Republica leaders and their friends out
side OF the breastworks, as is his usual
custom. We went to Chicago as Demo-
Gratis; we returned as Democrats. We
went TO settle our differences of opinion
and we settled them, and now we propose
to unite in a supreme effort to settle the
Republican party"
