~. t5ev we're about TO make their
o.o,rance upon the political stage,
Ss1ot In hand, TO register the result OF
-, sebooling, as it had been framed in
~ minds Of the citizens. He
ErGEErrED THE ABSENCE
,iGsperal John L. Vance, Of Gallipolis,
n who was announced TO speak, but
vso had been assigned to a meeting at
p,csnsW00d 40 the last moment and had
zoe there 90 ON the appointment. The
soysrBor. after stating that he was not
s,tre.y well. and did not feel able TO
~,se an extended speech, said he re-
s,s,tsi this, because he had
~reb 10 say. He referred TO
M issues. and said the one
,5,ys an others was that Of the force
nm which was to be put in force in ad-
vance OF It's enactment by the appoint
rsrt OF United States MarShals, under
-,rgct.ons, from Attorney General
Miller. 20 override the State law, IL need
n. 20 invade the limits sacred only 20
me- voter I'm the act OF casting his bat
NJ and the election officers, and on top
Of that 10 60 a step further, and take
bs sand within the sacred limits OF
SECTION booths. This was a forerunner
Of what would come IL
REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH
resulted % the polls at the coming election.
The Governor then went back and took
DO tae tariff issues, stating at the outset
/ tiathe proposed 70 prove his statements as
IN attorney would state his case to a jury.
Hs then claimed unequal taxation was
unjust said the Republican pol
Fen was unconstitutional, and quoted
+ fDm high legal authority in sup
rrt Of this statement. Such taxation
g vas contemplated by the Republican
policy was none the less a
nooery because it was done under the
forms OF law, and proceeding upon this line
b made q fOrCeful and exhaustive argu-
uent TO support of the Democratic position,
quoting from Senator Allison, James q.
BaiLe, Senator John Sherman and Other
sninent Republicans TO show first the
prosperity of the country under Demo
;atc policy, and secondly, that there
al.d be
no DANGER OF FREE TRADE
b the United States. Such a thing was
O. a@lrdity, and the wit of man could not
ts7.ss law which would produce el4O,-
1850 year which would not produce all
le protection really necessary. He con-
cured 10 the views OF John Sherman, that
70 talk Of a free trade tariff was an a0-
'1'iity, and 10 talk Of a protective tariff
vas Unnecessary" and then added, IF
law, approved by Senator Sherman, which
Produced revenue Of $40, 900 year
Vas sufficiently protective, what is TO be
Md Of the Mckinley law, which produces
E0WO, 900 yearin He held that there
o1d be no doubt Of the proposition that
ls tariff was too high. That fact was not
''y shown by the Democrats, but such
ns1 as Logan, Garfield, Blaine and others
Slaly prominent in the ranks OF the
republican party had, in recent years, con-
NiTed IN this statement. 10 used to be
L4lla,ued that the tariff was not q tax,
y. lately little had been heard OF that,
lal no one now denied, not only that it
sS TAX, but that the consumer paid it.
va THIS point be quoted from Blaine's
twenty Years in Congress-" ana also
IDl John A. Logan, as bearing him out
Sad The tariff tax Of $500, 100000, IN
r S Jle Mckinley bill, was not all.
o--e that amount was being tax
nom the people for the
.,es OF the government, another sum,
'a.--.la..ng to billion dollars year, was
aA'a Ron the consumer, in the way Of
EXORBITANT PROFITS,
