WHERE DOES ITGOe
Where does the money go you pay to the United
States Treasury One nait paid by Virginia
goes 10 pensions, which never comes back in any
form. Almost all the bounty % monopoly never
comes hack Tor we have few in virginia. IL 1t a
wonder our farmers, mechanics, and laborers
are poor?
Mr.. Blaine some years ago wrote that the tariff
increased the wealth OF the country True, but
whOse wealth?
In one 6eco9e of low tari1-lsj0 TO 1S6O-the
whole wealth Of the country increased 120 per
cent; ; the agricultural wealth 100 per cent,
and tie manufacturing wealth so por cent.
This was an admirable showing See what

BOW ABOUT WAGES?
How as to wages lst What wages can a
labOrer get? 81. What can be get with hts
wages? Increase wages and increase the cost
81 what wages buy and you mock the labOrer.
Tho Democratic policy Will not decrease the
amount of wages, but will decrease the price OF
what wages buy: 81 IL will benefit the laborer.

The farmer by being shut out from foreign

gets 90 cents for wheat and pays double pflce
for a blanket How can he help getting poor
when he gcis less for what he sells aud pays
more for Whathe buys? After other remarks on
the tariff, Mr.. Tucker urged all true Democrats
10 vote Tor Cleveland. AVOte for he Ihird-party
candidate would be, he said. lost in Virginia,
ami a Thrd-party man who prOfessed 10 be a
Democrat would virtually vote for Harrison by
fainng to vote for Cleveland.
In the above only the points made by
Mr.. Tucker are gwen. These he elabo-
rated and reached by vigorous arguments
and interspersed with telling mimicry.
lie had the audience from the beginning
and was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause. The prediction which he made
several tunes in the course of his speech
that Cleveland would be elected carried
the house by storm.
The audience also applauded heartily
when Mr.. Tucker said he would do MIR.
Blame the justice 10 say that he aided
Randall IN defeating the force bill of 1875.
His illusions to pension legislation and
the blanket process of robbery provoked
roars Of laughter.
Mr.. Tucker left the city last night Tor
Charleston, w. Va, where he speaks to-
night.
