guest OF the corporations! Why? If
l am mans guest it is because that
man Is NV friend. Mckinley was
the guest Of the corporations because
they are his friends and he is theirs.
They could well afford to send him
around the circle.
lie told You how happy you we're
and how prosperous your home,
were = because of the McKin-
ley bill! He was eloouent
Because he had the stuff in his palace
car that will make a tongue Timber at
both ends. Looking at the assurance
the man displayed l am led to believe
he must have had something more
than champagne with him. He must
have had at least barrel of moonshipe
whiskey.
His doctrine is the doctrine against
which the democratic party is fighting.
1t is incompatible with human free
dom. 1t is paternalism and paternal-
ism is despotism. His doctrine is ex-
emplfied by the company he keeps.
His friends are the corporations. His
doctrine will bring YOU sorrow and
woe and in the end national decay.

They say it is to protect the labor
ing man, but it has brought him sor-
row. Is there laboring man here
tonight who can say it has helped
him? They never said it would until
the labor vote became factor IN poll
tics. Then they raised the question.
Has it brought joy to your homess
No. And the day will come when
you will curse Mckinley and the
policy he advocates.
How does it protect you? The
manufacturer SAYS to the republican
party, place tariff of 30 rer cent on
the poor mans clothes. How will that
help him? Why, saws the manufac-
turer, the benefit which comes to me
l will hold as trustee for him. How
much have you been helped? If you
wish to known what this system does,
90 read it over the graves of the MUIR
dered men at Homestead. Go to the
bloOd-stained homes in Pennsylvania,
and then come and tell your children
what blessing to them and your home,
the protection of the republican party
is. Carnegie had the money and he
hid himselfin the mountains of Scotland
SO As not to be annoyed hy the trouble
which he knew must follow. The
history Of Homestead is the history of
the republican party. 1t is to subju-
gate labor to the plutocracy, and you,
laboring man, are going to be a will
ing vlctom to mammon. You do not
hold your ballot for yourself alone
but for your children and your homes.
Be careful how you use it. Carnegie
is a sample Of the republican policy.
Mckinley gave him larger benefit.
He not only refused to advance the
wages of his men but would not even
leave the old scale but wished to re-
duce it He got the backing Of the
party and was able to do as
pleased. would rather lay down my
life than give up all that was dear to
me as those men were required to do.
To return to Missouri, Major War
ner was calling for the labor vote and
some one says he will get it. / do not
believe it. You are too smart for that,
smooth as he is. He has not one thing
to show that he even favored labor.
But look what the democratic party
has done for you in Missouri.
We put upon the statute books the
mining law. And this law was largely
bought about by VIM. j. Stone. Gap
plause.) We established the bureau
Of statistics, for miners and factory in
spectiOn, for the protection of chill
dren; that no property should be ex-
empt from payment Of wages. We
passed law against the Pinkertons,
and w. ID. Steele prepared and / pre-
sented the bill against blacklisting.
Mr.. Dalton closed with a humorous
account Of his failure to get the nOmi-
nation for governor, and with sting
ing, scorching attack upon the A.

Hon. Mike Moran was then intro
luced and delivered an eloquent adj
lress upon the issues Of the campaign.
He spoke upon the national and state
issues. The tariff was touched up in
his own inimitable style, and Maj.
Warner came in for his share. The
policy Of the two great parties was
1welt upOn,the hypocritical profession
Of the republican showed, and the
true policy Of the democracy in de-
Tending and aiding the laboring man,
given. The relative merits Ofthe two
candidates were compared, and the !
reason for standing up for grand old
