The first gun OF the campaign was nreu
here tonight. Early In the evening
magnificent Cleveland and Stevenson
banner was unfurled from Democratic
Headquarters. Later, Congressman
Wilson and Bynun and Senator FAUX
ner addressed an immense audience
from the platform on the public square.
Congressman Bynum began by paying a
splendid tribute to Senator Faulkner
and Congressman Wilson, and among
other thing, said:
Every campaign Is important to
correct the evils and the dlStresseS OF
the people. No previous time has been
as important as this. Que great
and prominent issue is that In
which the head or every
family Is concerned. The great
question in this contest is one OF taxa
ton, and il affects the pockets OF every
one directly. The two great parties are
as wide apart as the poles The ditter-
ence Is the Democratic believes that
taxation should be limited to needs and
government, and the Republican be-
lieves that taxation should not be re-
stricted: that the government has a
right TO take millions Of dollars from
the pockets OF the people to foster and
build I'D mOnopOlies. They never took
this positlon until the Democratic party
was united upon tariff reform. The
Republicans squeezed enough out OF the
manufacturers 10 carry both Houses OF
Congress and Presidency in 1855, but
their
PROMISES TO TIE LABORER
have all ended as such. In a division
OF labor there IS profit, making a benefit
10 all. The cheaper articles can be
produced the greater the consumption.
The more customers there can be found
for products the more they are bought
and the mere the laboring man is oene-
flied. Foreign trade is our farmers
trade, and we must sell our surplus for
something We need.
"Since the Mckinley law passed
waLss nave been reduced, laoorers
loo sed out. and strikes begun, but
America articles have not reduced In
price. At Homestead $500 employees
are locked out aud the mills can be filled
with non-uniOn men imported from Eu-
rope. The Republican idea that i'm
ports break down the American article
and price is fallscious. The tin plate
farce is an example OF this. Not dol
lar OF money has ever been sent out for
tin plate; only the surplus products OF
our country have been exchanged Tor u.
Mckinley proposes to collect twice as
much from the masses OF American
workmen as 10 takes TO pay for the
whole advantage enjoyed by American
laborers. Two hundred million dollars
were valid in gold alone by foreign ma
tions each year for our products, but
this law stiles the markets of the farm
or. and distress follows. Give the labor
or plenty Of work and he needs no
protection.
ssWuol has decreased in price IN pro-
norton to the increase i'm the tariff.
One hundred and thirty different
WOODS ARE IMPORTED
into the United States, and all must be
mixed to make a perfect garment, and
more than half Of the wool has come
from Europe. To-day, old rags are
used instead OF the wool OF years ago,
and France, Germany and Great Britain
have many times the number OF sheep 10
the square mile than we have.
''The Mckinley bill is doing its own
talking down South, when the farm
PRODUCTS are cheaper than ever, and In
Pepnsylvania, where strikes are on, and
blood flows down the river by Home
stead. There is but one remedy for all
this. IL Is TO tear down the wall around
this country and load up vessels for
every station"
Congressman Wilson received an Ova-
tion. He Immediately launched into
the discussion OF the tariff With all
our resorces, inventions and discoveries
we should be the most prosperous peo-
ME 10 the world. Democracy means
that every child born within our con
fnes shall have an equal chance In life
tbrouQh the gateway of freedom. With
class taxation came all the evils OF class
government, and McKinley'S divides
the people into those who pay the tax
&c and those who get them. The Nc
Kinley bill was 20 arrange our taxation
20 that the manufacturers would get
the greater part and other government
the smaller. Removing the tax from
snqsr cheapens IL 20 the consumer and
Gives more work to the laborer. Rails
ing the tax on iron and steel did not
raise the price Of labor, but fOstered
mOnOpCllsts.
"The trouble at Homestead is the re-
suit OF determination Of the Carnegies
TO BREAK UP THE RIGHTS
Of labor.
The Democrats OF the country are
determined TO elect Grover Cleveland,
than whom no greater nor better demo-
crat has ever been produced; great in
courage, study amp honesty.
Senator Faulkner confined himself 10
state issues solely and paid a glowing
tribute to the entire ticket. Within
ohirteen counties he had visited unity
and enthusiasm prevailed. The cry OF
the Republicans has been; "Oh
Tgkins, for Gods sake, save US"
But Elkins was too SagaciOuS
and then the same cry was sent to Goff,
hut he prefers six thousand a year for
life 10 a doubtful chance in West Eir-
qinia. The same appeal was then sent
TO Mason, bat he preferred mis- better
salary. Atkinson could not accept be-
cause he he'd written his A, B, Of the
tariff. At last they returned TO the
very respectable Mr., Thomas Davis, but
his barrel Is too small to carry him
through Bill McC0rkle arose from the
psoDle, and In this campaign will be in
IA van OF every fight and every enthu-
