he made in which he said:

It. will be seen from this that Mr..
Johnson, leading Democrat of Ohio,
who claims to have been elected by a
majority Of 1900 votes holds the same
doctrines of absolute free trade that
Jerry Simpson holds. He is an uncom-
promising free trader. and wants all
taxes to be laid on land values, instead
Of on foreign imports.
His speech Is clear indication of
what the Democratic party is drifting
into.
Mr.. Carlisle was called upon for a
speech, and as an evidence of the posi-
ton which he takes we quote the follow
ng from his speech:
Reform is necessary in the sum and modes OF
ederal taxation. o the end that capital may be set

These statements, although not orIgi- |

olicy his party proposes to adopt. 1t !

Congressman w. G. Breckenridge of
,entucky also was called upon 10 make
speech, from which we make the fol-
wing extract:
