spoke as follows
On Oct. Q, 1890. tho great republican orator Of
your state, In introducing TO a New YORK au.
dience distinguished private citizen, said: III
am to name q typical American, a man who
loves and believes IN his country beyond every
thing else, man who, determining at once In
what direction his duty leads, eannot be
persistent In what he believes to be right; a
man who thinks not Of self but Of his country
and its needs, would name Grover Cleveland"
The man upon whom this splendid elAogium
was pronounced by the greatest of living re-
publcana has been presented by the national
democracy aH its candidate for the high office
OF President OF the United States.
Ger. Stevenson then proceeded to indi-
cate reasons why the interests Of the ooun-
try would be subserved by the election of
Mr.. Cleveland, dwelling upon the changed
condition Of the treasury now from what IL
was at the end of Mr.. Cleveland's admins
tration. Con, Stevenson said the bank
ruptoy which now threatens the treasury is
the result, first, in the enactment of the Mo-
KtnleY tarin law, and second, the lavish
appropriations OF The Fifty-hrst CON-
gress.
need hardly remind you that the treasury
Of the United states has ever found its most
faithful guardians In the Democratic party.
This tribute OF Dir Blaine TO its old time leaders
was just, when he said that they guarded the
treasury with unceasing vigilance against every
attempt at extrayagance or corruption.

TARIFF Reform
Personal intercourse with many thousands OF
my fellow citizens in many different states and
cities during the past thres months, and care
ful observation and study Of their desires, con-
ditiops aDd needs very emphRtioally confirmed
my be ief in the wisdom and patriotism Of the
democratic theory Of tariff reform. Tho Demo |
cratic party standing on the sure foundation OF |
the constitution, denounces republican protec- |
ton az fraud on the rights Of the |
people; denies the power CT congress to |
impose a tariff tax except for revenue only |
and demands that the limit OF such imposition |
shall q uSCaggitiaz pf honest a0miuisfra- l
tioa OF the governments. | indorse without |
qualification the denunciaticn denial and de- |
Inand. We do not advocate or contemplate |
free trade, but recognize the unjust system of |
import duties, and want q convenient copstitu- |
tional and equitable plan fer raising revenue |
with which to meet necessary expenses OF the |
government.
THE REPUBLICAN, THEORY.
Opposed to this is the new, startling and inds- |
fensible theory Of protection 70 certain indus |
tries by which heavy tariff burdens arc laid |
upoR the great mass of the people for the ben |
eft Of favored individuals who are fortunate |
enough to receive its blessings. This theory |
put into practice by the Republican party, cul- |
minated In the enactment or the Mckinley tariff |
law by which heavy and onerous tariff duties
are imposed upon some 1000 manufacturer ar
ticiss many OF which are OF daily necessity in
the home life Of our people. The advocates OF
this unequaled and unjust system of taxation
have deluded people with various excuses for
its existence.
