PHILADELPHIA. Oct. Ex-senator Sher-
man arrived here this afternoon and was
met by o committee Of the Manufacturers
Club. who escorted him to hotel, where an
impromptu reception followed. This even
ing a large audience assembled at the
Academy of Music, at a meeting given un-
der the auspices of the Manufacturers' Club.
Senator Sherman was the orator of the
evening and received an enthusiastic oYa-
ton.
Senator Sherman said: "For the first
time in the history of our country a
national party dares to proclaim that q
tariff for protection is unconstitutional and
fraud upon the laborer. This is bold
declaration. as bold as the rebellion, and
should be met by the American people in
the same spirit. There should be no truce
until the issue is determined by the voice
of the American people. A significant fact
appears; the resolution was voted against
in the Dem ocratic convention by the great
producing States of the North aud voted
for by the late Confederate States.
The resolution in substance was taken from
the Confederate constitution, and it was in
open opposition TO the opinions and acts of
the great leaders Of the Democracy, living
and dead"
The Senator argued in support of the Re-
publican position. and said
III that party succeeds at the coming
election the protective policy will be- main
tanned and the Mckinley law will only be
changed as the experience of time demon
strates the necessity of amendment. II the
Democratic party succeeds we must be pre-
pared for violent changes In the tariff, with
out regard TO the wages and Interests Of
Ia Dor or capital"
nf ell tha caid
the coinage OF silver is made free then all
the silver now in existence, estimated at
81 1000 000,000, and all hereafter mined,
amounting last year at Its coinage value TO
S185. 900. coo. and annually increasing, cOald
be brought to our minis and coined into dol
lars at the expense OF the United States and
for the benefit of owners OF silver. The
inevitable effect would De TO reduce the
purchasing power Of dollar to SiXty-seveu
cents. The dollar in gold would then dis
appear from circulation and be worth In the
market nearly dollar and half. No man
ought to be elected to Congress whose posi-
ton on this question Is not clear and une-
quivocal. What we want Is both gold and
silver money, but always maintained at par
with each other, money having the same
purchasing power. How can we get it?
The surest answer is by putting enough
silver in the silver dollar to make it equal in
value to the gold in the gold dollar Give
the people an honest dollar and thus settle
the silver question"
Speaking Of the Democratic proposition
to repeal the 10 per cent tax On State bank
issues, the Senator said that he was amazed
that any Intelligent man, Democrat or Re-
| publican, who has lived long enough Ia
know the truth or read the history OF his
country, could now be willing to again open
the doors to wildcat money. The choice is
between national money, backed by the
power and credit of the Government, and
the exploded. rejected. prohibited and I'm.
constitutional bills Of credit issued by the
| local banks under auth ority of forty -four
States, with powers as diverse as the ANNA
creation. The credit of some of these States
| is already impaired by reputation and some
| have very limited resources already crippled
| by debt"
In conclusion Senator Sherman said: 81
| is now the tendency of the Democratic
| party, dominated by the South, TO revive
| all the issues before the war, except slavery
and dlsunion. and destroy all the achieve
ments of the Republican party, except the
| preservation OF the Union"
