here in West Virginia? In this state ?
These questions, asked in mis- inlmita0le
manner, brought down the house. We
no longer eat our dinner on aplate bear
ing the picture Of the unicorn and the
lion. never had any other kind when
l was a boy. The Republican party did
one great thing TOT do this, ii it has not
done anything else.
We have done the same thing with
calico and other lines.
And tin! A large manufacturer told
me few days ago in New York that
tinware is selling lower than ever be-
fore. Raw tin is on the free list The
Mckinley bill put it there. We get our
raw tin the same that England gets
hers, in Spain and Portugal. The DEM
ocrats never say: "Why England don't
use her own TIM England can do
what she pleases and it is all right,
But we can't please them over here. In
the forty years that my memory runs
back they have said OF every industry
that We proposed to build up. "You
can't do that in this country" They
said it Of salt, and yet we make it in
this country.

ginia.
make everything here. They said we
could not make glass. They said the
lord never intended US TO make glass
in this country, although it is not at all
certain that their relations with the
Almighty would warrant that they
we're good authority on the subject.
Yet we have made it, and plate glass is
selling for 20 cents foot to-day where
it formerly cost US 81 %.
A reference to Harrison and Reid
brought down the house.

He said the Democrats always insist
that all things are right over the ocean
and all wrong over here. Why is this :?
Their hearts are not in the right place
or they would be for this country first
and last. | would have our statesmen
spend their time first making this the
the greatest country on the globe, and
then il there is anything left they can
attend to the rest Of the universe.
America first. / like the Republican
party for other reasons besides its
strong protection procllylties. 1t
can originate new ideas, and
has the courage to back them and use
them. The Democrats get ideas, but
they are so long. 1t is always after
wards. In 1864 they said the war was
failure. They believed it. But |
have not seen any Democrats who
think SO now. for several weeks, have
you?
He referred to reciprocity and Blaine.
The mention OF Blaine brought out
tremendous round of applause.
RECIPROCITY.
He. said at first the Democrats were in
favor OF it because they thought the
Republicans were against it, but when
they found the Republicans were for it
they took to their heels and they have
been going ever since. But they will
be around. Inside OF year they will
be saying that it is a good thing. But
they are so long. l like party that
starts out with It. They are not quite
up to our crowd. You know that. As
whole the Republicans naturally grav-
itate more rapidly toward a good thing.
Like the Republican party because
it has always taken care OF the boys who
wore the blue. have a right to dis
cuss this matter with Mr.. Cleveland,
for we both belonged TO the same bri-
gade during the war-the home guards.
We both ought to look at this matter
alike. But We don't. | would never
have vetoed relief pension measures as
he did. do not wonder that General
Sickles said at the Chicago convention
that the $1,000 Democratic soldiers
of New York would never vote for
Cleveland.
CLEVELAND AND PENSIONS.
like the Republican party because
it has always stood by the soldiers.
When Cleveland vetoed a poor Wild
ow's $l2 a month pension bill, he was
drawing $4,000 per year out Of the
treasury. 1t is no wonder that where.
ever go find the old soldiers OF the
late war in favor OF their old comrade,
Benjamin Harrison. Loud applause.
Mr.. Horr then proceeded TO touch up
the banking plank of the Democratic
platform and the old state bank system,
when every man was obliged to keep
Thompson's Detector and when every
man was afraid to 20 TO sleep with
money in his pocket for fear that when
the sun came up the next morning the
bank whose money they had would go
up with it. Now we have good money
made SO by the Republican party
against the solid vote f'the Democratic
party.
WHY, says some OF these new tangled
financiers, thought you Republicans
claimed that only seventy cents worth
OF silver in dollar So there is. What
makes it good then? Why, the govern
ment will take it any time and give you
dollar in gold for 1t. The government
never bought an ounce of silver that it
did not pay its full value in gold for.
And although in making its money it
only pnt seventy cents in the dollar, it
has the other thirty cents and l am in
favor oft keeping it. All these queer
ideas came from peculiar idea OF some
people that we can got something in
this world without doing anything for it.
CALAMITY HowLERs.
The people OF this country are better
off than the people Of any other people
in the world. The mortgage question
was treated in a mastery manner that
was enthusiastically received by the
audience.
The great mistake OF our calamity
bowling people is that they are con-
stantly taking few instances and argu-
ing from it generally. Why, II Weaver,
Jerry Simpson and a few OF these fell
lows had struck Job when he was in
such bad shape they would have said
the whole Chaldean nation was a big
