Difference of the Two Policies as to the
Taxation of the Same.
"The Democratic tariff puts tariff on
foreign products that do not compete with
our home products. We put tariff on
products that compete with us. The
things we can't produce go free to the
American people. tariff put on for
eign product is always paid by the con-
sumner. An whyf Because foreigners
control the market on anything we can
not raise ourself." Governor Mckinley
contended that there was not an article of
glass, of iron, of steel that had not
been cheapened to the American consumer
by domestic competition, and this had all
been made possible by Republican pro-
tective tariff.
Not n Burden, but n Blessing.
1t had been said that a protective tariff
was a burden. "There is not a man in
Indiana" exclaimed the speaker, ~who
knows from actual suffering that there is
such thing as protective tariff. On the
contrary, there is not n man or woman in
the state who doesn't know that he or
she is enjoying its blessings. 1t Is the
business of the Democrats to show that
you are suffering-that you are borne
down by Republican tart fl taxation. If it
be such a burden it must make itself
manifest: it must show itself"
Dem ocratic Predictions.
~The Democrats" he said, chad been
saying that we could not make tin-plate.
Years ago they pooh poohed the idea that
we could make steel rails, glass and silk
wares. Under a protective tariff all these
things have been accomplished"

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 14.-Fate seemed
to be against Governor Mckinley yester-
day. The day set for the big Elwood cele-
bration proved the most disagreeable of
the season. A drizzle that set in at mid
night developed into driving rain storm
by daylight and it poured necessarily
until after 2 O'Clock. Notwithstanding
the downpour the train bearing Mckinley
and Governor Chase from this city car
ried about a thousand excursionists and
fairly large crowds greeted the travellers
at the towns on the way. When they ar
rived at Elwood at noon they found that
eight or nine thousand from other towns
in the state had also braved the storm to
see the works Of the American Tin-plate
company and hear the apostle Of protec-
ton.
Illustration of Protection.
At l:30 O'Clock about 1900 people stood
in the rain in front of the Opera house
and listened to three-minute addresses by
Governors Mckinley and Chase, who were
themselves without shelter. Later as
many people as could be packed into the
Opera House listened to a more lengthy
address by Governor Mckinley, devoted
entirely to the tariff issue. He said many
new things in defense of his bill, compli-
mented Indiana upon the rapid growth of
her industries in the past six years and
pointed to Ellwood, now a town of II 900
people, from what three years ago was a
village of 600, as a striking example
of what the protective policy is doing for
the country.
Two Ways of Raising Money.
The question of the tariff, he said, was a
business one and addressed itself very lit
tie to the sentiment or imagination of the
people. There had to be n tariff in order
to get money to meet the obligations of
the government. 1t cost the government
81 200, 900 every twenty-four hours to meet
it's expenses. There were two ways of
raising this enormous sum of money-by
direct taxation or indirect or tariff taxa
ton. The speaker was certain that the
people were not in favor of direct taxation.
They had bad enou Oh of that in the past.
Tariff for Revenue Defined.
Tariff for revenue did nothing but raise
revenue. 1t excluded all other considera-
tions. 1t took no heed of the needs of the
people. 1t levied its tariff on foreign goods
simply and purely to raise revenue for the
public treasury. Selling pitcher from
the desk he tapped it with his fingers and
said, with An air of pride: "There is tariff
on this pitcher of 90 per cent; that is the
result of the Republican protective tariff.
It was put there to build up the pottery
Industry of this country, which, / am glad
to say, has been successful. I put that

FLORIDA LETTER.
Mrs. l.. H. Pratt Writes a Gossippy Letter
From the Land of Orange Groves.

CRoMANToN, Fla, Dec. 5, 1892.
Dear Union - It is some time since [
have penned anything for your ever
welcome paper, so this evening shall be
devoted to that purpose. Beginning
with the weather: I don't believe any
one ever experienced pleasanter
weather than we are having at, present.
The days are like summer only occa-
sionally when the wind blows from
the north, then we get just enough cold
to remind us of what we have expert
enced in years gone by on account of
cold ard snow, and although we do
some time think of the dear old home
and friends that we have left behind
with feelings of longing and regret.
we feel that we would not 60 back to
endure the rigors of a Minnesota win
ter again. a- . s
The moon is just full tonight and
it is almost as light as day, just cool
enough out doors to need a light
wrap and to prevent mosquitoes and
flies from troubling, though such
pests are not ever very troublesome
on this peninsula probably on account
of scarcity of standing fresh water
We have had very little frost as yet,
not enough to kill tomatoe vines, and
roses and geraniums are blooming in
the open air. Oranges are ripe now
and present beautiful appearance
with their golden fruit and bright,
green leaves. We have one variety
of orange of which I particularly
wish to speak, as l believe the ladies
of good old Minnesota might grow it
successfully as house plant. But
please don't think that I am speculat-
ing as we have none to SELL" 1t is
the Satsuma. 1t bears fruit of large
size, very sweet and juicy, and seed
less The peel can be stripped off
with the fingers and the different
compartments separated without start
ing a drop of juice. It can be so very
nicely handled that it is often called
the kid glove variety. 1t will stand
considerable freezing. It is a dwarf
and of such a dropping habit that
the fruit on the ends of the branches
often touch the ground. Trees as
large as the oleanders I used to see
in the parlors Of my old friends Mrs.
J. T.. D. Sadley and the late Mrs.
Chas. Morehouse, would bear from
one to two hundred oranges in a sea-
| son. - = .2s. 81.
1t is not true as a good many seem
to think that the orange is always in
blossom and fruit of all stages. This
is true of the lemon, but the orange
blossoms and the fruit ripens the
same as the apple in the north, though
have seen ripe and green apples and
blossoms on the same tree here on
the first of May.
