Managers of the Republican Par
ty and Protected Barons Favor
-McKinieyism.
Upon that issue four years ago, in a
campaign OF misrepresentation and of
calumny, in campaign when the pro-
tected industries "irled all the fat"
until the Golfers of the Republican ma
tional committee overlooked with the
gold which they contributed. in a cam
were deceived, Grover Cleveland,
joyousiy as 1.-THE bridegroom walks
to the altar, walked to defeat
more glorious, ten thousand times more
than the victory which Benz amin Har-
riSoD won in that year. Loud cheers. !
The bargain between the protectioniSts
and the Republican machine was Kept.
Let me be understood. my fellow clti-
Zens, have no word of condemnation
against the rank and file of the Repub
lican party. Born in the Northwest
and reared amidst the glorious ira
ditiOns that circle around the name OF
Ulysses S. Grant. imbued in childhood
with reverence for the great men of
the Republican party, Grant. Greeley.
Sumner, Lincoln, and all that
splendid galaxy of American
statesmen, l have no word of
OF 1860 or the rank and file of the Re-
publican party of today; but / do say
that the Republican party of today has
fallen into the hands OF money-chang-
ers, that the Republican party of today
is the party of Thomas Platt of Boss
Quay, of Philadelphia: of John Wanna
maker, who subscribed 100000 OF Its
campaign fund four years ago, and of
Andrew Carnegie. of Pennsylvania.
Loud and prolonged cheers. The bar
gain of 1888 between the managers of
the Republican party and the protected
barons of the protected states was kept.
Hardly had the verdict been pronounced
which elected Benjamin Harrison presi-
dent, before the hordes and repre-
sentativeS of these protected Industries
from the Middle states and the East
ern seaboard swept down upon the
capitol, as the barbarians of old swept
down upon the capital of the Roman
empire, and there, not in the secret and
darkness of night, but in the broad
glare of an American san, in the state
house of Washington, with the Stars
and Stripes of free America waving
over them, was consummated the most
horrible conspiracy against the liberty
ard the honor of the American people
that has ever been concocted in the
political history of the world. [Cheers.
The Mckinley bill was passed
in direct obedience to the de-
mands of the protected indus
tries. The men who represented the
monOpoliStS of the East sat in their
seats in the house of representatives
and gave no word of denial when HOn.
William Wilson. of West Virginia, and
Hon. 0. nj. Hall. of Minnesota, in their
places in the house of representatives,
pointed out more than hundred Sched-
ules which were written in McKinley'S
law in the exact words and figures
given the committee of ways and means
by the lobbyists who represented the
protected industries. Cheers Instead
of a reduction from AZ per cent,
the Mckinley bill raised this I'M
necessary, Ubiquitous and unjust tax
alton to an average of SO per
cent. Two years ago the scales fell
from the eyes of the American people.
The principles of Grover Cleveland, the
frank and honest words which he spoke
TO the people Of this country, found
Judgment in the minds of a majority of
the people; and the men who voted for
the Mckinley bill and the party which
fathered it were sent into the retire.
ment Of disgrace and obloquy which
will ever he visited upon corruption
and injustice the moment the people of
this country thoroughly and intelli
gently understand a public question.
Loud cheers.
