RALLY AT wEsTvILLE.
Attorney J. p. GoOdhart and Hon.
Thomas *. Mackay OF New York
Make Enthusiastic Speeches - A
Large Audience Present.
A rousing republican rally was held last
evening in the Masonic hall, Wsstville, and
was addressed by Attorney ]. P. Goodhart
of this city and Hon. Thomas K. Macksy
of New York. The meeting was largely
attended and all present seemed to thor.
oughly appreciate the two excellent
speeches. A short street parade by the |
Republican club preceded the meeting.
Amos Dickerman called the meeting to OF |
der at about o'clock. The glee club sang
a song entitled 'Grandfather's Hat" Mr..
Goodman being the soloist.
Mr.. Wardell WAS appointed chairman of
the meeting and after another song by the
glee club entitled "Baby McKee," Mr.. War
dell introduced the popular young attor
ney J. P. Goodhart of this city as the first
speaker of the evening.
Mr.. Goodhart in his address said:
One of the recent democratic orators
said: "The world is my country and all
men are my brothers" Now that all
sounds very beautiful; bat will go him
one better. The world is my country and
all men are my brothers. But those who
live in this country are my brothers by
blood.
Now, there are two different policies of
a
country, represented by the democratic
| and republican parties. Let us see which
of these two policies it behooves us to
| choose.
The free trade theory is this-and I
studied under the distinguished gentleman
who presided over the MacVeagh meeting
| that country should produce that to
which it is best adopted. Therefore, be-
cause we have such alluvial fields they
wish to make this country entirely agricult-
ural. But if that happened what would
become of our thriving manufacturing
towns? Now protection wishes to give en-
ployment to all classes, and all are not
adapted to farming.
Now, you have all heard lately about the
force bill. Now, am in favor of the bill.
believe in giving every person who has
the right to vote the power to exercise
the right. I am sure you would all of You
as soon give an honest, intelligent negro
in the south the right to vote as a northern
Italian or Hungarian. The aouthernera do
not want the republican party to place Of
fcers at the polls. Did you ever hear OF
honest people feeling afraid to have laws
made against stealing?
After giving brief but pointed review
of the leading issues of the campaign the
speaker closed.
Mr.. Wardell then introduced the Hon
Thomas K. Mackay of New York, who
, | spoke as follows:
The great author, Dean Swift, declared
in one of his books years ago that one who
caused two blades of grass to grow wher'
there was only one before was benefacto
to the human race. This was one of tn
grandest tributes to those who are working
{ | for the best interests of mankind. An(
we have a race of politicians who uphold
various systems which they say will be 70
| the benefit of the human race. And from
this contest of systems will select one an.
review it before you-that of the demo
; cratic party. I have spent the last tire
. years in England, having been called Their
| by business, and I have observed
good deal of the condition of the Britis
3 working classes. Now, England first es
! tablished the protective system and it wa
rigidly enforced. Up to 1885 no oficia
f could issue burial certificate withou
showing proof that the body was wrappe
| in British wooden. She carried protectio
i into the very coffin of the dead. And b
|. | this policy her adventurous people game
: the supremacy in the trade of the world
t But in 1916, when her manufacturing il
!; | forests had reached an advanced at ate {
. development, she made herself free trad
nation, thinking that other nations " oul
f follow. But they did not. The census r
q port of England shows that there is or
y psuper to every thirty-fve people;
+ protection Germany the proportion is
s. 200; in France, which is still more pr
d tective country, it is to 800, and in tt
J. United States to 756. An employe in
. London watch factory receives ninety-si
+ Manhood and womanhood among the eli
# cles of competition are considered the mel
d raw material of trade and commerce.
h One interesting fact for prote ction
A that concerning American saws. whic
y are to-day sold at Sheffield for less none
], can saw first drove the English saw out
n the United States, then out of Canada an
1t Australia, and now it has PRACTICAL
q driven it out of Great Britain.
g. Now the workmen of Great Britain a.
1t the most skilled in the world, yet the
a produce, as I have shown, more paupe
k than any class of people in the civilizt
D. world.
m 1t is not my intention to review the p,
vate life of Mr.. Grover Cleveland. IT
chairman of the republican committee b
instructed his speakers not to touch on Il
private life of Mr.. Cleveland. In fact
at would not care to do it anyway befo
ladies'. But we will confne ourselves
- the parties
ha The democratic party was founded
a Thomas Jefferson. In the language of t.
ar turf, the democratic party was sired
Thomas Jefferson and damned by Grov
II. Cleveland. If the American workm
votes this fall for the democratic party
y, practically strikes for lower wages, viii
ZEE certainly will be an unprecedented ever
r. The speaker in tho course of bis
IT, marks also alluded to the democratic {
IT. sire to revive the old state banks, severe
It arraigning the democratic policy, a
'e, closed his speech by paying a brillia
tribute to the republican party.
The meeting closed with song by t
nv glee club.
