The speaker exposed the fraud Of a tin
plate near Philadelphia, where 1T was
heralded forth by the high protectionlsts
that tin plate was made by Americans
from ore dug by Americans, whereas In
truth it was made by Welshmen from inn
ported material and the only American
about the concern was boy VINO nau

million of sweat earned dollars was paid
by the farmers and laborers OF this
country to maintain that humDug he
told of q Welshman. who, when arrested
for destroying the machinery OF this
Philadelphia mill, said he objected TO the
employment of Americans in the mllI
HOW TIN WAS DISCOVERED.
A geologist was walking through the
Black Hills and struck his foot against
rock. He looked at it and saw unat it
contained tin. He ran to Mckinley and
said: There's tin in the Black Hllis.
Put tax tax on it," says the Major,
and SO it went into the great Dill. ln
Canada farmer discovered petroleum on
his farm and the Tory Government put
prOhibitive tariff on kerosene ana now
the Canadians do a great business IN
smuggling oil into their country from De-
troit.
Mr.. McAdoo next paid his attention to
the much boasted reciprocity OF the he
publican party, He showed how Blaine,
1.-The aDlesJ state3man in the Republican
party saw that the people would not
long stand the iniquities OF the Mckinney
bill and invented the so call reciprocity.
This reciprocity merely consisted In say
ing to the South American countries
which find market for their wares mere:
IF you don't buy more of our goods well
tax your products SO high that you Will
not be able to bring them here"
THE MAGNAEIMOUS FOREIGNER.
The idea that the foreigner pays the
Mckinley tax was disposed OF with sar-
casm that was refreshing. Mr.. McAdoo
pictured the foreign laborers toiling and
delving from morning to night for moth.
ing more than the inesJimable boon OF
paying the Mckinley tax. He showed
how the good John Wannamaker profited
by the tariff. He imported lot OF hat
trimmings and had dispute with the
customs authorities over the duty. he
filed bond, got his goods and Appealed
the case. He placed the goods on salein his
Philadelphia establishment ana added TO
the price the high duty which the Custom
House officers wanted him to pay. He
won the case and saved $2.0O0OOO which
he had already taken out of the pockets
of the women of Philadelphia.
IF the foreigner pays the tax ex-
claimed Mr.. McAdoo, why did John
Wanamaker make the women of Phil
adelphia pay for it?'
Mr.. McAdoo dwclt upon Carnegie and
exposed his hypocricy. The Force bill
WAS also touched upon, and the local
ticket was warmly eulogized.

GOOD FINANCIAL SHOWING.
State Com ptroller William g. HepDen-
heimer was introduced by Mr.. Jacobs as
'the watch dog of your treasury" Mr..
Heppenheimer said that the Republicans
had attacked the financial policy of the
State and said that it would only be
question of time when the State would be
bankrupt and there would be another
State tax.
''In 1885, he said, "the State treasury
was handed oyer to the present Demo-
cratic officers by the Republicans, who
had had charge of it for the previous
nineteen years. At the time The
State had a floating debt of 100000
and unpaid appropriations amounting to
S750, 900. On Monday the fiscal year will
close, and on that day New Jersey will
close its books without floating debt
all the unpaid appropriations paid and
5000. 600 to its credit in the bank.
1T has been said that the Democrats
have impaired the School fund, but
under Democratic Administration that
fund has been increased by $115.000 Not
one dollar of the money that it has taken
to do this has come out of the pockets of
the people. Every cent of it was paid by
the railroads and other corporations, a
record no other State can show. OF the
amount received by the State from the
railroads Hudson county received
$265, 900"
THAT WICKED COAL BILL.
Mr.. HeDpenheimer theh showed the
true inwardness OF the great coal bill.
He said that after the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company had gobbled up by lease
or purchase all the railroads it wanted in
this State, it had Legislature which iJ
controlled pass bill providing that no
railroad company could lease another
without the consent of the State. The
Philadelphia and Reading said 1T wanted
to compete with the Pennsylvania aud
asked for permission to lease some New
Jersey roads. The Legislature passed
the bill and then the Reading
proceeded to put up the price of
coal. When the Democratic Legislators
saw that they hastened to the Governor
and brought him to veto thhe bill which
he did. He said that the increase in the
price OF coal was an Interstate matter and
that the Republican President and his
Republican Attorney General should
stop it,"
