address an Irish audience without she'd
ding barrels of tears over the eYictions
in Ireland, but never heard one make
the true statement that there are every
year in New York city more evictions
for rent than in the whole Emerald
Isle"
The speaker then read a description
by Z. Y. Powderly of the condition of
laborers in the Connellsville coke re-
gion to show there was not universal
prosperity under high tariff. "When
my friend Maj. Mckinley replies to me
at long range tonight. | want him to tell
how many times Carnegie, Phipps d
Co. went into their pockets to contrib
ute to my defeat, and whether that
money was not
Taken Out Of Their Men.
''Today a paper says Carnegie is
ready for sliding scale. He must have
been contributing to this election"
His closing point was with reference to
the effect of an increase in tariff upon
wages. Mckinley had eptomized the
tariff thus: Owe make the foreign man
ufacturer pay into the treasury the diff
ference between his labor cost and our
the American market" The census re-
manufactures in 1860, under Demo
cratic tariff, at "a per cent, and the aver
age wage factor, Or amount paid
for labor on every dollars pro-
dnction, at % cents. They only
claimed protection to the amount of the
difference in the wages factor between
this country and Europe, and we gave
within one cent Of all they paid for
wages.
''In 1870 they had the tariff up to "a
cents on the dollar and wages down to
% cents. In 1880 they had the tariff up
to 46 cents and wages down to % cents.
In 1890 when they passed the Mckinley
bill upon the theory of protection to
equalize the difference in labor, they
had the tariff upon manufactures up to
90 cents and wages down to II cents.
THAT is enough TO show the falSity of
the Republican statement, wherever
made, that high tariffs have raised
wages"
The speaker closed as follows: 1.-THE
Democracy Of Rhode Island are true to
themselves and their SutfrageS are un-
purchased you Will send the most joyful
note out to the people of this country
next Wednesday night that has been
heard in many long year. | beseech
you to do this for yourselves and for the
Democracy of the country, and for the
country itself, and over and above all
that, for equality of rights for men be-
fore the law"
EX-Gov. Campbell's speech was re-
ceived sympathetically, but without
land demonstration, His witty manner
took with the audience, and he was sew
eral times interrupted with laughter.
EX-President Cleveland was again
eEeered when he reached the street.
Shook 5000 Hands.
Mr.. Cleveland dined with D. E. B.
sity, and was then taken to the city
hail. which had been rendered for the

and for two hours stream of men
poured into the building and filed past

While crowd was seeking adj
mission when the doors were
closed. The ex-president was greeted
with many compliments and good
wishes by those who passed him, and
lie entered into the hanushaklng with
such vigor that the perspiration poured
from his face and he was thoroughly
exhausted before it was over. At the
close of the reception Mr.. Cleveland

o'clock, but changed his mind and
