said it was not il legal tender When

what is Wrong; about that, Judge? II
I owed you 200 bushels ,of wheat,
would you, so rule, if elected Judge,
that / can an n.s, ,yasss atG bushels OF
Bats or potatoes instead OF the
wheat? Th,ltis the same thing ex-
artly. But no one has ever heard
OF q case where any kind of money
that we have ut present WAS ever re-
fused in settlement s,f /. debt. It is
all good money and Mr.. Ives cannot
improve it by any fiat money scheme
which he may ndvocats. Haseems
to want tlr.t Kind OF money OF which
It takes 5000 to buy a pair OF boots!
Mr.. Ives is u very tiresOme speaker,
and the audience felt much relieved
when he sat down.
VIC. Brown, the nominee OF the
populist and dem ocratic parties for
county attorney, was thenextspeak-
er and he succeeded n,lm;,9l.iS IN
stradoli"s thA twb party platforms.
His subject was the tariff, which he
discussed from democratic stand
point, standing sanare'" 81 thGdem-
ueratit Platform, but in closing his
speech, he took a giant stride and
planted one foot with Il thud right
square on the peoples party plat
form BY dAc,;trii$ that the interests
Of tariff reform will he best subserved
by voting the populist ticket; and
II cold sliVer ran through every
democrat in the room! Mr.. Brown
made the best speech during the eve
ming and created quite Il favorable
impression, though his arguments
on the tariff were crude and falIa-
cOus. He starte, out Will, the falst.
assumption that the tariff is II tax,
and tiiht tic duty is always added
to the cost OF an article. The duty
on wire nails is . cents Il pound, and
they are selling at the factory for =
cents Il pound. where is the tax, Mr..
Brown? The duty on calico is abOnt
5 cents Il yard and it can he bought
for 3 and i cents ~ yard, where is the
tax? He did not seem to know that
the duty on lumber was reduced 10y
the Mckinley bill, but the price ON
lumber has not gone down, as it
should according to his theory.
Neither did he explain why the dem
ocrats in their free wool bill gave :s5
per cent tariff protection to 1.-THE
robber manufacturers OF the east"
while The sheep raisers were given no
protection. Why did they not hit
the 'rObber manufacturers first,
and the sheep raisrrs second, instead
of the reverse? When ty the tariff of
1888, the duty OH wool WAS reduced,
the democrats made Il great howl,
and scattered campaign literature
all over Ohio and other sheep raising
states, inveighing against the repub-
lican party, for legislating against
the interests OF the sheep raiser. Why
did the democrats do that, Mr..
Brown? The tariff on binding Irvine
was reduced by the Mckinley bill to
only Z cent IL pound, and the raw
material, which is not produced in
this country is on the tree list, but
Brown complained OF this small dn-
ty. Now, why should not those en-
gagged in he Irvine making industry
have the same protection that the
democrats, i'll their free wool bill
cOncele to the manufacturers OF
clothing? Why not, Mr.. Brown?
A protective tariff was the discovery
OF the republican party, according
to Mr. Brown, but we refer him to
the public utterances Of Washington,
Jefferson, Jackson. Clay, and others,
for further Information on tile subject
Bnt we must cut short our review OF
Mr.. b.own'S speech.
