GOV. oAMPBELL's SPEECH.
Ex>Gov. James E. Campbell of Ohio fol-
lowed by referring to the action of the re-
publicAns in seizinR large halls in Provi-
dence and preventing the democrats from
using them. He quoted statements from
Secretary Blaine's Twenty Years in Con-
Rress," and from a speech Of ex-President
Garfield's in the House of Representatives,
to the effect that the period from 1850 to
lSoO was one or prosperity.
AS ha had been criticised for
declaring that Secretary Blaine had
made such a statement, the speaker read
the description of T. ". Powderly Of the
condition OF the laborers in the Connells-
vile coke region to show that there was not
universal prosperity under the high tariff !,
and said: when my friend, Maj. McKin
ley, replies to me at long range tonight, l
want him TO tell how many times Carnegie.
Phipps q Co. went into their pockets to
contribute to my defeat, and whether that
money was not taken out OF their men," To-
days papers say Mr. Carnegie is ready for
another aiding scale" He must have
been contributing to this election. He
spoke of the closing OF an
oatmeal mill at Ravenns, O.. as result
Of trust fostered by the Mckinley act, and
said he had prophesied it five months ago.
His closing point was with reference to the
effect of an increase in the tariff upon
wages. Gov. Mckinley had epitomised the
tariff thus: ave make the foreign manu-
factursr pay into the treasury the differ
encs between his labor cost and our LABOR
COST before we allow him to enter the Ameri-
can market"
The census reports show the average tariff
on all manufactures in 1880 under the demo-
cratic tariff, at "a per cent, and the average
wage factor, or the amount paid for labor
on every dollars production, at 25 cents.
They only claimed protection to the amount
OF the difference IN wages between this
country and Europe, and we gave them
within cent of sD they paid for wages. In
1870 they had The tariff up to "a cents on
the dollar aud wages down to % cents. In
1880 they had the tariff up to 40 oents and
wages down TO % cents In 1890, when
