TRIBUTE TO WEST VIRGINIA.
In closing General woodford paid
most eloquent and affecting tribute to
the state Of West Virginia and its peo-
pie. He recalled that for four sue
cessive campaigns he had addressed
them, and now again he called on West
Virginia to break the solid south.
The scene which followed his tervent
appeal was indescribable. The great
audience rose to it's feet, hat, handker-
chiefs waved wildly, cheer followed
cheer. When at last the tumultuouS ap.
plause subsidized, General Woodford
asked West Yirginians to vindicate the
election OF Golf. Then there was
fresh outburst Of cheers. Stand for
a free ballot and fair count, and have
il. Mr.. Cleveland proposes to give the
spoils of Office to the tiger and the
American market to the lion. But he
has not his needful allies, famine, hard
times, drouth and destruction, and
without them Democracy never won
national election"
Mr.. Harrison beside the bedside OF
dying wife is silent in his grief. Let us
do for him, what he can not do. He
offers no brides. He stands upon his
record. Will you support him%
General Woodford concluded amid
great applause
MT. cAMPBEIL's SPEECH.
Chairman Adams then introduced
Hon. A. W. Campbell, OF this city, who
received most kindly greeting. He
proceeded at once tocontrast the scenes
which he had recently witnessed at
home and abroad. Such meeting as
this is impossible in any country in
Europe. Such meeting as that going
on elsewhere in this city was every,
where possible in Europe. Never had
he heard wordin Europe favorable to
Harrison. Always the sentiment was
for Cleveland and Democratic success.
This was only natural. Europeans be-
lieve that unless Democratic ideas pre-.
vail their markets are gone forever. The
lesson this teaches is that no party
thus supported should be successful
here.
In London Mr.. Campbell said he had
been member Of the National Liberal
club. Out OF its $500 members he was
the only protectionist, the only well
wisher OF the Republican party. The
same was true OF every other London
and English club.
THE RED RAG TO THE ENGLISH.
The Mckinley bill is the red rag
which arouses every Envlishman. Mr..
Campbell related conversation which
he had had with an English iron master
concerning it and spoke OF how 1t is IN
every mans mind there. He had felt
called on to remind some OF them that
the Mckinley bill was made on the
banks OF the Potomac. not on the banks
OF the Thames. If Great Britain and
all Europe was sunk in the sea the I'm
tied States would go on and be great
and prosperous. We are dependent on
them for nothing, not even good will.
England Is the most selfish country
in the world. As long as she could use
protection she used it, and was most Sc
Verelv protective. Her aim has been to
break down every country which op:
posed her. And we have a school OF
economists here who hold up England
as an example to us.
WHAT FREE TRADERS WANT.
They claim we should furnish raw
material to the worlds markets and re-
ceive in return the manufactured ar
ticle, Just what England has been at
tempting throughout her history. She
took from Us last year $3.50, 100000 OF
cotton. She took it over the ocean,
manufactured it into $3.50, 100000 worth
OF cotton goods besides clothing all her
people. She certainly is benefited by
that exchange OF materials.
Cotton is on the free list. and If by TAX
ing the tariff off wool we shall be able to
all our wooden goods, why
don't we manufacture all our cotton
goods? Mr. Campbell offered to give
time to any Democrat to answer this
question. There is not country in
Europe but would give all the other
markets ii it could control the Ameri-
can market. Our first duty is to our
selves. England herself is beginning
to doubt the wisdom of entire free
trade.
sALIsBuRY's DOUBTS.
The late premier, Lord Salisbury, ex-
pressed this doubt in his recent speech.
She does not yet dare to avow it open
", though her trade is declining month
by month and her agriculture is at the
lowest ebb. All the world has quaran-
tined against her,
The most distinguished professor OF
history and political economy at Hell
delberg said to Mr.. Campbell that pro-
lection had lifted up Germany. Eng
land is at last the only conspicuous ad-
vocate OF free trade.
The wisdom OF protection is this,
shall we do everything for ourselves, or
simply be a conveyer Of raw materials
for the benefit OF others. AS it is Amer
lea makes the best goods in the world.
He gave an example OF an English
manufacturer who represented cutlery
establishment who sold American hard
ware because it was better than the
Sheffield. American cotton goods are
sold in England because they are bet
tor, though they cost more.
1t has been Investigation OF interest
which has made England. To an even
greater extent this 10 and should be
true OF America.
AMERICA LEADS ALL COUNTRIES.
Mr.. Campbell said he had returned
from Europe convinced that there is no
comparison between our own country
