Gov. Mckinley Meets w. c. Warner Of New
York.
Much disappointment was felt at Madison,
Wis, yesterday afternoon whom il WAS learned
that Henry watterson was too i'll 10 appear. but
more we're pleased to learn that Mr.. Warner
took his place in the tabernacle, and by an.
before the tariff debate only standing room was
10 be had.
Mr.. st. John was accompanied by President
willetts Main, and while Mr.. Hastings was in
Producing him Gov. Mckinley appeared, in
company with ex-Congressman La Toilette,
Gen. Lucius Fairchild and eK-President NJ. r.
Chamberlain Of the states university. There
was much enthusiasm manifested 1T the sight
OF both speakers.
Mr.. Hastings introduced Mr.. ST. John,
who spoke ~ follows: 81 think that there
is no democrat, republican, peoples party
man, prohibitionist or mugwump who viii
claim that / am unfair when say
that In view Of the fact that the democratic
and republican parties have had control Of this
nation for at least a generation past, meantime
having had the power 10 make and unmsks
constitutions, hws-in other words, TO do what
soever they pleased--that il 10 but fair now TO
say that these old parties are entitled TO the
credit for all that ID good in civil government
today. do not think that any democrat or
cannot say il il not liberal On the other hand,
giving them credit for Ill that Is good. il is
equally fair and just 70 charge these two old
parties with al that n bad In civil government
today, and upon this basis I propose TO try them
before this jury. Our Law Is simply the crys-
talized viii Of the voter. To legalize the
saloons We commence st the polls with whisky
ballot.
I'm 1891 o., 5o7 900 900 was spent in liquor
houses Let us put IL in silver dollars-snd by the
way, In view Of the fact that We have heard 20
much about silver lately, IL may not be out OF
Of free coinage of silver. The expenditure over
the liquor counters would more than pay Oh the
national debt in . single year. I take the posi-
ton that the whole tariff system Is wrong in
principle. Whyf Because it levies isz burdens
on what We consume instead Of what we possess,
thus making the day laborer contribute ss mnch
to the support Of the government IL imposes
upon . millionaire. ANY system that does that
IL robbery. tCries Of That's SOL would blot
out the liquor trafhc, elect United States ssna-
tors and President by vote Of the people, and
place Ill telegraph lines under the absolute con-
troll Of the government and let Them be operated
at cost, a. the postal service H. in the Interest
Of the whole people; Ill money TO be Issued d.
