REID ON The TARIFF
A Speech BY the Republican Nominee
for the Vice Presidency.
HE ROASTS THE DEMOCRATS
What He Knows About Protection
and the Wages OF Working
men-Eloauence and
Sophistry.

BUFFALO, Sept. 16.-A mass meeting
wos held III Music hall tonight. Hon. j.
=. Clarkson introduced Hon. Whitclaw
heid as tile next vice president of the Uni
teu States. The announcement was re-
ceiycd with loud cheers. Mr.. Reid spolSe
at some length on the issues of the cam
paicn. He said there is one vital question
Are the people SO dissatisfied with the
present prosperous course that they are
ready to invite dangerous shock by sud-
denly reversing the engines We have been
running 30 years in the direction of high
protective tariff? How serious n disturb
anee even a modification OF that course
has made. You all remember the long
suspense and arrest of operations attend
ing debates on the Mckinley bill. Its op-
ponents, now that the bill is working well,
declare II unconstitutional and reciprocity
sham and demand reversal. They
also deniaTd the abandonment of our
magnificent system of national banking
currency. Such is the sudden shock our
opponents invite you 10 bring upon your
sclves, and II is n proposition to be con-
sidered by practical business people in
pT.c busincss-like ways.
THE presidential year always has been
considered a bad business year. because
time the presidential campaign. far from
producing stagnation, is attended by
general prosperity and brisk business.
Not oven the unusual and radical threats
OF n change and the unexpected spectre Of
cholnfa combined have this year been able
40 cast chill over gen, raj confidence or
slack the activities of n buoyant business.
Why? Is il not because tho business
world has made up its mind there is to be
no change, with an abiding faith in com
mon sense and sober second thought of
the average An erican citizen? Docs not
every business man, whatever his party
convictions or his political prcjudiccs,
absolutely know as cold business pro-
position that a complete reversal of the
existing order of things demanded by the
democratic party in its present platform
as to tariff, reciprocity and the national
banking system, would necessarily un-
settle business for the neNt Is months or
two years?
'ln view OF our having adapted our
selves to the Mckinley bill and our prac-
tcally unbroken conduct of business since
1862 under a high protective tariff system,
most men, whether free traders Oh prp-
tcciionisis. know that anything Ike a
broad aud thorough execution of the
'..hemc laid down in the democratic plat
form would be q precipitation of n busi-
ness chaos. Is it Wise in pr osperous times
70 let well enough alone or TO upset every.
shing and go hunting for theoretical rain
bows? Tho present activity of business
in the face Of cholera and the democratic
sompaiGn combined, is the best proof Of
tue peoples faith that both invaders will
Ec rcpclled.

DALLAS, Tex. May 25.-Perhaps
excitement never ran higher in Dallas
than it did last night following the
killing at the union depot by Henry
Millor, i negro saloon porter OF Off
Ger c. o. Brewer OF the police force.
The circumstances OF the killing were
as follows: A scandal in which Mil
Ter figured and in which the
fair name OF respectable
white woman was sought to be
smirct ed, is under investigation bv
the courts. In this case it is charged
that Henry Miller circulated a report
derogatory to her good name. ONO
ers Brandenburg ana Brewer were de-
tailed TO arrest Miller for tire purpose
OF getting his denial and evidence in
the case He was found and arrested
at the union depot by Officers Bran
denburg and Brewer, and Officer
Beard. who was on duty there, entered
a saloon to telephone 10 police head
quarters for the patrol wagon in which
to convey the prisoner to the station
house. At this moment Miller turned
to Officer Brandenburg and asked:
..Viu give bond9n To
which the Officer answered: Il do
not know what the charges against
you are" Then. damn you" re-
sponded Miller, 'I'il give you a bond, "
saying which he drew a 44-caliber
pistol and fired. the ball going wide
OF the mark. but hitting horse that
was tied to a post close by.
Rapid firing followed and poor
Brewer, who was IN close pursuit OF
the negro. fell about seventy feet from
the point where the shooting COM
menced. He was taken to Johnson's
old drug store, where he expired half
an hour later his vile and children
having arrived five minutes before he
expired and after he had grown uncon-
scious. The negro made use OF his
legs but was soon overtaken by OH
Ger Beard and placed under arrest He
was placed in the city prison but the
mutterings for vengeance OF an OUT
rsged public necessitated his removal
to the county jail. About O'clock
a mob of about 1000 gathered
at the Jail and demanded the prisoner,
which was refused by the sheriff. when
the mob attempted to break down
the strong door with battering
rams. At this point the
mob was fired upon by the sheriff and !
his deputies, and the following par
ties received slight flesh wounds: ].

CHICAGO Ill. May PA dispatch
from Atlanta Ga, quotes an inter-
view with Bishop Fitzgerald, Southern
Methodist chairman, in reference to
the lynchiug Of negroes in the south.
He said: Two or three things must
be said. The unspeakaDle crime for
which they were lynched outlaws the
perpetrator. whether white or black.
in every part of the United States.
Frequent lynchings have occurred
from time to time in the north, but they
appear to be forgotten entirely. White
men in the south, guilty of the same
crime, meet an awful doom as swiftly
as does the black man. 1t is noticea-
BILE that in the spasms OF indigna-
ton against the southern people, be-
cause OF these lynchings. no sympR-
thy has been spoken for the white
women who were their victims.
