BepubIicani5m 10. which the Fourth
ward is noted.
Mr.. Hervey acknowledgement,
devoted principally to the tariff and
money issues, which he treated in a
PLAIN aud convincing manner. He
showed up the inconsistency OF the re-
cord of the Democratic party on the
economic questions for the past thirty
wears, while on the other hand the Re-
publican party has been constantly the
friend OF labor and home industries.
lie read an extract from letter OF
President Eberhardt, of the glass work
crs' association, who has come to the
conclusion that the interests OF labor
are safer in the hands Of the party OF
protection and honest money than
with the free trade Democracy.
Speaking OF millionaires and profits
in manufacturing, he exploded the
Democratic claim that the policy OF
protection creates millionaires, and
that all or tho larger part of the profits
90 to the manufacturer, by citing the
larger number OF men whose great
wealth has been made in unproccdted
industries, and the fact that numbers
Of industries have gone to the wall or
failed to pay dividends.
Senator FauIkner's shoddy story was
disposed of in short order, the speaker
showing that under the old tariff
shoddy paid ten per cent duty, while
under the Mckinley law it pays thirty
per cent
Mr.. Hervey gave good exposition OF
the money and state bank question, and
the evils which are sure to, come in the
event OF Democratic success.
The next speaker was Mr., Patrick
McDermat, OF the Fourth ward, who
made rousing speech, devoted princi-
paIly to an appeal to Irish-Americans
to forsake their false god, Democracy,
and vote where their interests all lie.
Mr.. McDermat showed what the pro-
tectlve Irish laws OF the Grattan parlia-
mcnt did for Ireland, in building and
fostering home industries, which were
ell destroyed heinslant free trade with
England was accomplished.
Nlessrs. Richard Robertson and B. S.
Allison spoke briefly, both touching on
the tin industry, which promises to be-
come monumental endorsement o. the
Mckinley tariff act. 1t is not improb.
able that tin may be made in the Fourth
ward inside of ia year if the Republicans
are successful in this campaign.
