EX-Attoney-General John Biggs re-
ceived a rousing welcome when he ad-
vanced 70 the front Of the stage It was
his first appearance in New Castle on
the stump. In opening his address
upon the national issues Of the cam
paign, he said:
The Tariff is n Tax.
'It was never intended that the pro.
vision of the United States should be so
construed that manufacturers should, by
protective tariff. become rich at the
expense Of the majority of the poorer
classes, that the few should get rich at
the expense of the many Now Just so
sure as you pay your tax levied by the
levy court Of this county, you pay an.
other tax-just as sure as You pay your
tax TO the collector you pay another tax
commonly called the tariff. You pay a
tax on all those articles (which have not
been placed upon the free list) tariff of
over 90 per cent Those goods are met
at the custom house by United States
officer and he says that before they can
enter American ports TO be sold 10
American workingmen, a duty must be
paid. Now these manufacturers in the
United States demand from you a tax,
nothing more nor less, because they pre-
vent competition by keeping out goods
from foreign ports
Free Trade Can Never he.
"Now our Republican friends say that
we are for free trade In this they are
false. There must be a tariff levied upon
goods sold in America that are made else
where in order to run this Federal gov.
ernment We don't want, however, that
a few private individuals, take Mr.. Car.
negie for example, shall enrich them
selves at the expense of American
masses. Protect your American indus
tries, they must be protected, but when
you levy tariff don't make II so that
somebody amasses such fortune that
they have 70 20 abroad and spend IL.
Fix it so that IL will benefit the working.
man instead of enriching the pockets of
the manufacturer until he can order his
men about as he ploases, reducing their
wages when he will
To Make Home Brighter aud Happier.
I'VE are not afraid Of foreign compe.
tition. We can take any American
manufacturing industry and turn out as
good material as can ever be produced
where the sun doth shine. There are
many branches of this important sub
ject that comes right home TO you. The
policy Of the Democratic party and the
substance Of Grover Cleveland's mes
sage in 1887, when the United State,
treasury was filled to the brim that al
this money be divided by a reduction oI
the taxes at the custom house among tn,
people Of the United States and in this
way make the comforts Of home within
the reach of all You aud I can possess
such things in our homes that viii max,

Farcical Protection to Farmers.
Talk about protecting the American
farmer, why If there is one farmer frien,
of mine here tonight / want TO tell hin
that this claim is wholly farcical. VIII,

6S cents for instance) and yet they no

seed that he plants, but they make hin
