DETROIT, MICH, October l9.-1he Democrats
had their demonstration last night. Speaker
Crisp was given an enthusiastic welcome. He
spoke at great length on the tariff question and
made a good impression with his logical discus
sion Of the subject. The present tarih law,
fathcred by Mr.. Mckinley, he said, was injurious
70 the lab0rer, farmer, manufacturer. and pro-
fessional man alike, for, instead OF alording
protection, II imposed n heavy burden upon
them. Tho prevailing low prices in the united
States he asserted, are not the result Of the
Mckinley law, but have been brought about by
large crops aud labor-saying machinery. me
force bill and the southern question were also
discussed by the Speaker, who denounced the
