Carnegie, of Homestead fame, is sent
for; on tin, Mr.. Neidringhaus, of st.
Louis, is Invited; on carpets. Mr.. Dob

National ,gordage association Is con
suited. Thus the parties directly
Interested are Invited to participate
The records of McKinley's committee
show these facts. But the farmer is not
invited. He is simply the patient beast
of burden which is to carry the load of
taxes about to be imposed. The trans
action is partnership between the
"petted industries" and the protection
politicians. The Industries" respond
by liberal campaign contributions.
"Help us to help each other. Lord" is
| the motto of these thieves! Laughter.
The Remedy.
Now. what is the remedy? The Amer
lean congress made the protective tariff,
and the same body must unmake it. The
great battle lies in the congressional
districts. Congress is full of protection
lists. Turn them out! Cheers. In this
district there are about 10000 voters; oil
these about 81. 600 are farmers. The
| teachers, clerks, laboring men, and so
on; but all interested In the prosperity
| of the farmer. Now, you have three
candidates for congress-: Mr.. Nc
| Cleary, who stands pledged to rivet
| protection still closer upon You; he pro-
| poses to tax you to set other men up i'll
| business. lou want nothing whatever
to do with him. [Cheers.] Then there
| is Mr.. Long, the POpulist. He is one OF
| the foolish men who traded off tariff
| reform for the subtreaSury scheme. He
battered substantial good for an
| empty bubble. He is not worthy of a
moments consideration. Cheers The
| third candidate for congress is Mr.. Ham
mond, of Watonwan county. He
stands pledged to tariff reform from the
| crown of his head to the soles of his
feet. [Cheers.] He is pledged to every
| true reform the farmers of this district
| demand. AS 10 shua II. Giddings stood
! for the personal freedom of the black
man, SO Hammond stands for the eco
nOmlc freedom OF the white man.
| [Cheers. Every one of you who voted
| for me two years ago upon these prlnci-
pies should vote for Hammond now.

Conclusion.
| am not one of those pessimists who
are shouting calamity" for the farmers.
They may OF may not be reasonably COM
Portable. Each farmer is his own judge
as to his situation. He knows where
the shoe pinches. The question for The
true farmer as man is not that he is
rich or poor. but is he uujustiy robbed
of any of his hard-earned substance,
and made "a newer OF wood and a
drawer of water'' to class of untitled
lords. either by the laws of the land or
by the economic conditions which have
grown up about him ? Mckinley thinks
that the farmer, like the sheep, only
lives to be shorn. CHEERS. Corpora
tons, trusts, combines and protection"
lule this nation today, socially and
politically. Property is in the saddle.
1t must be endorsed. and men brought
to the fore. [Cheers.l Today we have
the feudalism of capital. If the farmers
of this land will unite as they ought,
they can break its power and give to
| the United States economic liberty and
equal laws and conditions for all, as the
| determined English yeOmen wrested
| English freedom from the tyrant Johu,
at Runnymede. Great applause.
