MADISON (Wis.), July 29.-Ex- Gov
ernor st. John of Kansas, Governor Nc
Kinley of Ohio, w c. Warner of the
New York Tariff Reform Club, addressed
MonOna Lake Assembly to-day. Henry
Watterson was also to have spoken, but
was taken i'll at Chicago.
st. John spoke in the forenoon on pro-
hibition and tariff He recited the pro-
hibition arguments, and said that under
the present system the liquor traffic was
growing faster the past three years than
ever before. over the counters of the
240,707 saloons in the country, 81 SOY ,OOO,-
600 was passed last year. This would
pay the national debt.
St John took the position that the
whole tariff system was wrong in prin-
ciple, because it levies burdens on what
we consume instead of what we possess.
Fifteen or twenty men control to-day all
the means Of reaching the markets of the
world, and our merchant marine is prac-
tically driven from the high seas. The
farmers possess less than one-fifth of the
wealth OF the country, compared with
five-eighths forty years ago, and still the
farmer was consoled with the blessed
tai takes SIC net income from ton of
steel, while the gross receipts of labor
are but 81 81, and because the laborer re-
fuses to submit to a reduction of twenty
five per cent, capital confronts him with
an army of hired Pinkertons, and when
he defends his interests he is called a muir
derer.
NJ KINLEY TALKS PROTECTION.
In the afternoon Governor Mckinley
addressed an audience of $1,000 people.
Speaking on the political issues, he said:
w hat Is tariff reform, anyway; who can
tell Cleveland said several years ago
That he knew nothing about the tariff
From the date of that utterance down to
the present time he has given no evidence
OF having increased his original store of
knowledge on economies. The Demo-
cratic majority in Congress passed bill
10 GntaX wool for the sole benefit of New
England manufacturers and the injury of
ali farmers, while leaving the duty on all
wooden articles man is counted to wear
1t passed bill to lift the tariff on cotton
ties for the benefit of the South, while al
most identical iron bands in other call
ings retain the old duty. If this is the
economic policy of the Democratic party.
1t might better be called no policy at all
for II obviously represents no system,
and can produce no uniformity of re-
sults.H
on the question of taxation, Mckinley
declared that the country must raise
S400000.000 annually to defray the ex-
penses of the Federal Government. ONLY
TWO ways were posSible-levving a direct
tax on the people or an import duty on
the products of foreign nations. There
can be no evasion. The nation must
adopt one or the other.
Mckinley dwelt on the disadvantages
OF the direct tax system, and quoted
Jefferson and Madison as earnest oppo-
nents Of it in times of peace. Thirty
years of protection" he said, ''has placad
this country IN a position unriValled
among nations. Thirty years ago % per
cent. of the hardware of the country was
English make. Now % per cent is
American. Democratic revenue tariff is
always paid by the consumer.
Tariff or free trade has nothing to do
with strikes and lockOuts; nothing to do
with the differences between employer
and employee"
Mckinley accused the Democratic Con-
gress of defeating the Worlds Fair bill
and doing nothing for the benefit of the
country.
WARNER ON TARIFF REFORM
Mr. Warner spoke briefly from the
tariff reform standpoint. Tariff re-
FORM" said he, us the greatest issue Of
the day. Do not think the farmers are as
ignorant of these questions as they We're
four years ago. a stupendous kick will
be made next November. Protection
means taking money from one class of
people and placing it in the pockets of
another through the sanction of the law.
The Democrats propose to take the tariff
off Of articles used by the poor and put
them on luXuries, ETC." Warner claimed
that free trade was a misnomer. By it
the Government could raise over 300, 900,
600 annually, and the advantage of the
system is that the amount is taken from
outside as far as possible.
