SAD BLOW TO THE COUNTRY.

Taxes on tlannels had taken the place
of taxes on incomes and legacies, and
that on common cloth remains, while
that on insurance companies and banks
has gone where the woodbine twineth
and the whangdoodle roareth.
Avoice: "Tell us about sugarW
All, my friends, there is too much
sugar. l will contine myself to my
text. The rich are growing richer and
the poor poorer
The same day the tariff law was
passed under which We groan to-day
Mr.. Sherman presented bill legalizing
imported contract labor, and gave as a
reason that labor was too high in the
west. That law gave the importer OF
contract labor a lien on the labor OF
those brought in. That law remained

Grover Cleveland, when he took hold
OF the liberties OF the people, also drove
out the hordes of Chinese labor which
were deluging this country. The very
men who helped to pen this Republican
state platform had provided for inn
porting 1000 negro voters and negro
workers from the Carolinas to take the
place of white workers and white men,
and yet these mon say they are opposed
to the importation of foreign labor.
Men from Pennsylvania who live in a
state dominated by white men-and in
herently every state ought to be domi-
mated by the superior race-send lgnor-

and do not believe the people will be
dominated by ignorant negro laborers.
The Marmet mining company brought
200 negroes into Putnam county to
take the labor and tho homes OF white
laborers, and every man interested in
the Marmet company is Republican
OF the deepest dye. That district, once
a white mans country, ID to-day domi-
mated by negroes. In oil the states
where Republicans rule the black chill
dren are mixed up with the white ones,
there are mixed schools, and ii the Re.
publicans win this state these mixed
schools will be introduced here, and l
want to tell you, my fellow countrymen
Of Ohio, we are not prepared for that.
He said Elkins was interested in
mines in West Virginia, and wants to
get control OF the legislature SO that
the recently enacted mining laws may
be repealed. The present Republican
candidate for governor voted against
those laws, laws which the miners have
asked Tor years and which Demo-
cratic legislature gave them at last.
He would not agree with tho editor
OF the INTELLIdENcER that he was q

elected governor he would be governor

Colonel AInett then introduced John
o. Pendleton, who was much more
warmly received than Mr.. MacCorkle
had been. He said it was too late to
make his speech. The nights pro-
