Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1892-09-11

in very clear and concise manner the
operations OF the force bill, especially
touching upon ITS financial effects and
the embarrassment IL would give TO tho
southern people il carried out.
TARIIf AND OTHER QUESTION:
The Senator next took up tho tariff quss-
ton. tracing il fromiss beginning in spain,
when Mussulman, who knew q good
thing when he saw it," levied a tax upon
oil ships entering or LEAVING the Straits OK
Gibraltar. Senator Daniel exclaimed !:
Mr.. Blaine has said that there are larger
number Of articles on the free list than
there are on the taxed list OF this country,
and yet declares that the tariff ie paid by
the foreigner. II such is the ease why
does he not put everything on the uee
list pn Laughter.
The speaker then portrayed the absurdity
OF such an assertion as this by the ex<Sec.
rotary OF state, and showed the fallacy OF
protection making great home trade.
Further on the senator in speaking upon
the emigration question said that foreign
ers who come 20 this country become
larger producers than confumers, ana
hence the productions or our country are
greatly increased and we have to ilnd new
markets. &C.,
made A forcihle utterance IN favor on los
general introduction instead OF iis being
dealt with in a little retail manner WITH
South American republics and other sulaii
countries. Aud no stated that II Grover
Cleveland became President he w0nld
have reciprocity with England and other
large nations, or we would have no re-
ciprocIty at oil. He discussed she money
question very fully and showed that IL
would be better for the southern ota'e1 70
have their own banking system than tna1
which is forced upon them by the Nationai
Government.
Referring TO the recent State Democratic
Convention and the friendly rivalry De,
tween the Hill and Cleveland men. he salu
that whatever the differences OF OPINION as
10 the best candidate were then ana lhere
he was. as ali Democrats should be' lor
Grover Cleveland for President OF the
Tinted States. and asserted IL to be be-
lief that David Il. Hill would soon express
himself IN no uncertain tones IN eupport
of the nominee for this high ana honorh-
BILE position. l(ireat applause
Senator Daniel spoke very toelingiy ana
with great earnestness OF manner, man
tanning the rigid attention OF every one
within the sound of his voice, and when
he concluded there was a tremenuous
ovation rendered him.
AZ tho conclusion OF Senator Daniel
address the cheering was deatenlng and
continued for several minutes. When IL
subsIded the band was finishing familiar
air.
The chairman then presented Hon.
George ID. Wise, who, he SAID. would ne
the next representative from this distrlct
In Congress Captain Wise characterized
the Grafton of Senator Daniel in glowing
L .atI following GlEn n
sneaker as that distinguished gentleman,
n would be better for him Nise) 20 say as
little as possible. He sa d that Monday
would be four weeks since ne returneu
from Washington, and during that time he
had bepn in every county in the ulstrlct,
and could assert most positively that there
was no doubt of victory for the Democrats
if the Richmond people would DO tnelr
duty as they had always done.
He smoke about the recent letter OF MT.
Blaine which admitted that there were but
three issues before the people OF TINS
country-the tariff. reciprocity, nnd the
Democratic plank about State banks. Dir:
| Mise did not agree with the ex-Secretary OF
State IN this. for he thought the force olIl
was PLAYING q most conspicuous part. ne
referred to reciprocity as simply tarlH-
reform measure and this was simply
brought up by Nj. Blaine by necessity.
His reciprocity. though, sara Mr; wise,
was not that of Grover Cleveland. The
speaker explained that the power to tax
had been imposed upon the Congress OF
tho United states. and that this reciprocity
of Sir. Blame was taking this power away
from Congress and giving IT TO the Fresl-
dent. in that the Mckinley bill provides
that this Executive shall designate what
countries we shall have reciprocity with.
rrrFCT OF HIGH TARIFF.
Captain Wise alluded TO the posi- ton of
the Republican party IN regard to the
thrift. and said it was always telling the
working people that the rate OF wages was
deDendent upon the taxation. lie did not
think, however. that the laboring classes
were getting more than they ought to, and
that the cries heard all over the country
were not from too high wages. When
they tell YOU that the reduction OF the
tariff means a reduction of wages. they
proclaim what is an absolute falsehood.'
asserted Captain Wise. Wages, he sad,
had ALWAYS decreased with the decrease III
the lmportatlOns of the country.
CAPTAIN Wise remarked that MIR. Grant
had asserted that he would 90 one step
further than his opponent, Mr.. Wise, and
wanted free trade and sailors rights.
The Captain assured MS hearers that be
unprecedented no trouble IN dlsposlng OF
MI. GTdnl.
Captain Wise paid his respects to the
force bill and other Republican measures,
and said he believed every man into whose
faces he looked would be active and
earnest IN the approaching contest, and he
felt sure that they would.
Captain Wise concluded with eulogy of
Cleveland, and was vociferously cheered
as be took ms seat His address concluded
the programme, and the meeting was pro-
uounced great success.
