the Big Meeting.


Another rousing meeting was held in
Hoboken last evening which clearly de-
monstrated that the Democracy of Hud-
son is very much alive and enthusiastic
for the entire ticket. The meeting was
held in Cronheim's Treatre under the
auspices of the NJ. J. Coyle Association
and every seat 10 the place, including the
sky gallery and the boxes, was occupied.
while the side isles and rear of the thea
tire were crowded with men standing.
Severn Jacobs, President of the Coyle As
sociation, called the meeting to order and
introduced as the first speaker of the
evening ex-Congressman William Nc
Adoo, who delivered one of the best cam
paign speeches ever heard in New
Jersey.
He began by paying tribute to Mrs.
Harrison and expressing the sympathy OF
the audience for the President of the
United States IN his great grief. There
was no place, he said. where he had more
friends than in the snug progressive city
OF HoboKen, and he spoke Of the loyalty
TO him of Judge William d. DAILY in ths
day of his political peril.
1.-The men who fought in the Revolu-
tion," he continued, "had no grea ter
cause against Great Britain than we have
tonight against our opponents. Up to
1884 the Republican party had full sway
in the Government. No matter how we
arraigned them aud no matter what
charges we brought against them the
people of the North said that they had
fought the war and released the slave,
and kept them in power. In 1884 the
scandals became SO great that by Blood
less revolution, only possible In this
country of ours, we overturned the Re-
publican party and put in power an
honest man, Grover Cleveland. Zap
plause and cneers.
FOUR YEARS OF HARRISON.
"When we left the Government after
four years we lett $lO0, ,0O0, 600 in the treas
ury and now after four years of Benjamin
Harrison. the country cannot pay its
debts. Thus we stood when we came
before the people in 1888. The Republi-
cans appealed to the seifishness of the
manufacturers and received the greatest
campaign fund ever seen in this country.
True they ralse1 the cry of Free Trade
But the Democratic party was never in
favor of Free Trade except once.p
Mr.. McAdoo then told how in the early
days of the Republic England attempted
TO drive our trade from other countries
and committed outrages upon the Ameri-
can sailor, the Democratic party raised
the cry of Free Trade and Sailors
Rights" Free Trade for Americas mer-
chants in the markets of the world ard
protection for her sailors

the speaker continued. that pious John
Wanamaker and the others contributed
to the great fund for nothingf No. they
gave their money upon the promise that
it would be returned to them with COM
pound interest at the expense
of the working people. When
they gave that money they put mort
gage upon every house and farm in the
country What is the Mckinley bill but
the repayment of that vast fund.- 1t is
warfare against all mankind. 1t builds a
wall around the United States and saws

mouths of children in other parts of the
world.
HIGHLY MORAL PRoTEcTIoNIsTs.
II would like to talk with some of these
highly moral protectionists upon this
phase of the question. The bill puts a
tariff OF 400 per cent. upon pearl buttons.
These moral protectionists tell US that
of Vienna. Isn't that glorious, they
say, and they tell us to
rejoice because children are crying for
bread on the streets OF Vienna. What be-
comes of those people you have driven to
starvation by your high duty. They
come to this country. You bar out pearl
buttons with yOnr 400 per cent. duty but
you put no tariff on the starving laborer
of Europe. but let them come here to
compete with and underbid American
workmen. You protect the button manu-
facturer. but you have free trade in
workmen. We welcome every honest
man who willingly comes TO this country
to better his condition, but the immigra-
tion is unhealthy. which forces men here
against their will.
"A wholesale and unequiyocai adulter-
alton of cloth has been another blessing
of the Mckinley tariff on raw material.
You citizens of Hoboken are doing we'll if
you are not wearing overcoats made of
the red trousers of NapoIeon's army and
of the dead Turks who fell at Pleyna. or
the cast of blankets of Kaiser Wilhelm's
soldiers. The tax on raw wool has sent
the rags from all over Europe aud parts
of Asia to this country to be made into
shoddy. Uncle Sam stands like a rag
picker with hook in his hand, raklng
in the rags of Europe to be manufactured
into substitute for wool SO that the
American workman may ne protected by
the Mckinley bill. Laughter and cheers
HOW TO DRIVE OUT IMPORTED CLOTH.
81 ask those who defend this system
why it is that the dudes and sons of me
wealthy send to Europe for their clothes?
Why do they pay higher price for cloth
they know to be imported from abroad?
Because you have tied the hands of the
woolen manufacturers. Give them free
wool and they will drive that sign '.im-
ported" out Of the country and compete
with foreign manufacturers in the mar
kets of the world. It will place the
American Tag on the ships which dock at
Hoboken.

tives when Major Mckinley dragged ont

Mr.. NJ. McAdao then told how the in
dividual manufacturers came Co Major
Mckinley when his bill WAS under con-
sidesatiou and hnd high duty placed
upon each article which he wished pro-
fected. He numerically riddled the lin

Bhat by that clause he was rearing a

said that If he did not put tin plate mills
