All along the line crowds throngod
the streets, and the red fire and fire
works were brilliant and abundant.
Before the parade was half over the
Grand Opera House was packed with
people upstairs and down, as iull as it
ever was in its history.
Mr.. j. @. Brady called the meeting to
order and introduced as chairman OF
the meeting Hon. Augustus Pollock,
with the list OF vice presidents printed
yesterday.
Mr.. Pollock was greeted with enthu-
siasm by the magnificent audience, and
it was renewed at almost every sem
tence, being especially hearty when
President Harrison's name was men
toned.
Mr.. Pollock said Congressman Dial.
zell was not able to be present, but he
mad pleasure in announcing that dis
tinguished citizen OF Ohio and fine
orator was present and would speak.
He paid an eloquent tribute to Ohio
and then urged all present to vote for
Harrison and protection.
MR. wA1soN's RLoQURScE.
When the Hon. D. X. Watson, ex-
secretary of state OF Ohio, arose, he was
welcomed by rousing cheers and APP
plause. He made a graceful allusion to
Mr.. Dalzell's absence, which, he said,
was due to an accident while his own
presence was also due to accident. He
thanked the chairman for his high eu-
logy upon Ohio, OF which, he said, he
was proud to be native and citizen.
That state, he said, never had, and
never would cast her electoral vote for
anybody but Republican. He wanted,
however, to talk here about West Vir-
GINA. He liked West Virginia and he
liked her people. In the battle OF the
ballots so soon to occur West Virginia
would occupy q conspicuous position.
The people OF the country believe West
Virginia can and will step out of the
e A1t nd kaIr .
place on the side OF protection and pro-
gress. It ought to be on the side OF
the Republican party, for that party's
policy not only developed material in
ieresis, but it developed men as we'll.
He did not propose to make set
speech. 1t was too late for that The
battle lines were already formed and
tightly drawn, and all that remained
was to charge the enemy at every voting
precinct, and whip them all along the
line A voice: "Ne'll do It'll" and
cheers.
OF course you'll do 1t, said Mr.. Wat
son, and we'll do it over in Ohio, too.
Renewed cheering.
The fallacy OF the doctrine Of tariff
for revenue only was very clearly shown
by illustrations, That doctrine carried
out would require
TAXING TEA AND COFFEE
and sugar and other necessities Of life
not produced in this country. The ad-
vantage OF protection was also clearly
shown. The greater wages paid in this
country must be compensated for in
some way, or they must be leveled
down to the European standard. A
few years ago soda ash was on the free
list but the profits were large. A num-
Der OF men III New York invested $780,
900 in soda ash plant. Then the for
eign manufacturers put down the price
SO low that in ninety days the Ameri-
can plant made an assignment.
We had to pay 100 per cent more wages
than the European manufacturer, and
go could not compete with the reduced
prices. Then what? The foreign man
ufacturers put the price back up to the
old standard. A speech by Lord
Brougham laying this down as the wise
policy for Great Britain was quoted.
The stimulus given the manufacture
OF bunting and tho American flag by a
protective duty, and the lower price Of
theseproducts afterwards was inst anced
as the way protection works. The
speakers references TO the Gag wore elo-
quent in the extreme, and provoked al
most continuous cheering and enthusiasts
tic responses. Not, he said, until the
manufacturerwas protected byltho tariff
did We make in our own land that beau
tiiul starry emblem OF freedom. In
ninety days after tho protective tariff
was put on bunting we were making
the American flag in America, and it
was not long until we only paid so per
cent as much for itas when it was made
in England
The manner in which the tariff bene.
fits all industries, commerce and agri-
culture was shown very clearly, and the
Illustration was again cheered to the
echo.
During his speech, Capt Dovener
entered the house. As soon as the
crowd caught sight of him a wild
cheer arose, and people rose and waved
their hands and hats. The demonstra-
ton lasted Tor several minutes, and
only ceased when Capt. Dovener, after
shaking hands with Mr.. Watson, took
seat on the stage.
Quoting prices under the Mckinley
and under the Democratic tariff, to
which time they point as the couutry's
haicyon days, 1lr. Watson wittily
showed how the people, and especially
the farmers, are being robbed" by the
Republican tariff. Article after article
was quoted on which the protection
had been increased by the Mckinley
bill, and which In cheaner today than
