HILL Is AGAIN HEARD
He Urges the Election of CIeve-
land and Stevenson.
DEMOCRACY CLEARLY PORTRAYED
The New York Senator Received with Wild
Applause Speakers Talk
to the Point

BUFFALO. N. Y, Sept. PA vast au-
dience listened to Senator Hill, Lieutenant
Governor Sheehen and other Democrats in
Music hall tonight Senator Hill was re-
ceived with tremendous applause. He said:
81 am here tonight in promotion of Dem
ocratc principles aud TO advocate the cleo
ton OF Grover Cleveland and Adlai Stew
enson No apology or explanation is needed
for my course. Among honorable men the
discharge of a political duty outweighs
minor considerations, and In this crisis of
our country's history and the great emer
gency of our party affairs individual dis
appointments or even alleged personal in
justice should be subordinated to the faith
full performance of political obligations.
PETTY JEALoysIEs MUST BE DISMISSED,
regular organizations respected, party
discipline enforced and apathy give way
to enthusiasm. The control of this gov
eminent for many years to come, by one or
the other OF the great parties, is the prize
at stake in the pending contest, in which
all other considerations should sink into
insignificance.
Speaking of the tariff. the senator said:
'There can be no reasonable doubt that
tariff taxation will continue to be permau-
withstanding the opinions of sincere but
impracticable theorists who advise its
abandonment. The dispute between the
two parties arises over the extent, effect
and objects of taxation. The conclusive
and sufficient objection to the protective
tariff Is that it is an abuse of the taxing
power and compels the many to pay tribute
to the few. 1t is q system based on injus-
tice and unfair discrimination, and tends
to build up monopolies.
The Democratic position is so
plain and reasonable that he who reads
understands it and believes it true, and the
constitutional purpose of the Tariff is the
raising of necessary revenue for the sup
port of the government, and that is all
The Repu blicans believe the question CT
revenue should be minor consideration in
the tariff, and the fostering OF some indus
tries primary one | am willing to con-
cede that the first or immediate effects of
high tariff upon a new industry is usually
to Increase prices and stimulate business
but this effect is generally followed by
undue competition, occasioned by the
very success in cident to favoritlsm shown
then over production results, then stag
nation Ia business enSues, and in the end
there comes r reduction of wages, fall in
prices, and bankruptcy to many indus
tries. This is the faithful picture of the
EVILS OF PROTECTION
drawn from the business history of this
country for over seventy years.
81 don't believe our American manufac-
lures require the protection the Republi-
can party seems to be so anxious to thrust
upon them. especially if they
were provided with free raw materials. and
that the Democratic party proposes to do
All that America needs is free field and
fair fight in the race OF life, and she will
prove it in nearly every department of
human activity" He also spoke some on
the force bill.
Lieutenant-G Governor Sheehan spoke
briefly, saying in part:
Democratic tradition and Democratic
manhood alike demand prompt and hearty
acquiescence in the judgment of the Demo-
cratic convention. Work unselfshly and
intelligently for the election of Grover
Cleveland and Adlai Stevenson.
