Farmers
A great many of the farmers from
the region of Mount Pheasant gathered
in that city October ~, - listen -
speech by Gov. Hoies on the issues OF the
campaign. The governor was warmly
welcomed and spoke Mt some length
The governor took up the Ia, ih ques-
ton, showing in his clear convincing
way that every man, woman aud child
is Interested in il In some manner or
form. and that this community Of in
terest favored reform in the lines laid !
down by the democratic party. lie
traced tho history of Legislation on the |
subject from the imposition OF the nrst
import duty Of per cent 10 the NC
Kinley bill. which raised the duties to
60 per cent, or 20 per cent. more than
the tax imposed by the exigencies OF
the war The manly effort Of Grover
| Cleveland TO effect reform in the
tariff was heartily commended. WIN
his customary skill the governor laid
bare the falsehood that the foreigner
paws the tariff tax. The people re-
buked the republicans two years ago
for the iniquitous tariff legislation The
issues are the same this campaign as
they were in 1890. lie said:
.unlcss great many o: you vino were then
dissatisfied have changed your minds In regard
20 The Mckinley bill you will vote for the Gem
ocratic ticket as YOU did then. Our republican
friends say you did not know what you were
doing then. They say the wicked democrats
scared you out OF your senses, anu you deposit
cd your ballots ignorant OF what they meant
that now you can show how much mistaken you
| IN he republtclu ana 0tlp
10 maintain this 10 per cent tarin. The ques-
ton is whether you were mistaken then. or
ought to stand BY the Judgment you then FORMED
and expressed
Continuing. the governor commended
that the republicans tried to mislead
the reoplc concerning the object and
effect of protective tariff. They
talked Of the misery existing abroad
on account Of free trade and low tar
ifs. and in the next breath gloated
over the assertion that the foreigner
paws our taxes There never was Po-
sition more ridiculous or destitute OF
truth. Every dollar that goes into the
United States treasury is first taken
from the people. The government can
not produce a single dollars worth OF
, property. When that fact was fixed
! firmly in their minds they would have
!. the bedrock upon which to build the
!. rest OF the argument.
. Toward the close of his address Gov
Roics referred to his corn speech in New
q York, which raised such howl IN the
y republican press. lie explained how
a he came TO make the speech. The fig
v ures he used. which showed that lows
!. farmers had raised crops ut loss o
sixty-seven cents per acre. taking int
4. account all the items which go into thu
N labor account and allowing the farme
r. the same wages paid in other lines o
:. like labor, were furnished by the stat
n commissioner Of labor from data sup
piled by the farmers themselves. Tn
In cry was raised that Gov. Boies ha'
"a slandered the farmers of the north
r. west. The republicans in state con
q. vention denounced and abused him 10
the speech, which was based on fact
he supplied by state Official. The ST.
a tistics are still on file in Des Nome
as and would not be burned-a rcmar

evoked a roar of laughter. The go
