RED WING, Mimi, Oct. 2O.-This city
gave magnificent ovation to Hon.
Roger Q. Mills. the noted Texas orator
and world famed statesman. today and
tonight. The city was aroused as never
before. Farmers came in wagons from
ten to thirty miles from the surround
ing country to hear Democracy and
tariff reform from the great champion of
equal rights and honest taxation
The streets swarmed with thousands of
people, most Of whom were from the
country. Mr.. Mills arrived in the city
during the afternoon, and was escorted
from the train TO the hotel by number
from a cold, and retired to his room,
where he rested until evening. The
Speaking at Night
was in the opera house. A special train
carrying $50 citizens from Lake Citv
and other points arrived before the
meeting began. There were also dele
cations from Hastings, Zumbrota, Guod-
hue county and Pierce county, Wiscon-
sin. Long before the hour for speaking
began 1000 people crowded into the
opera house. and large number were
turned away: unable to secure admis-'
opera house by committee COM
posed of the following gentlemen, and
headed by the Red Wing band, J. C.

mittee, Peter Nelson, I'll. g. Jansen,
Nick Longreen, DR.. Opsal,G. w. Hauen-

Among others having seats on the stage
were Lewis Baker. chairman of the
state committee, Hon. John W. Willis
and Frank w. Nj. Cutcheon, of st. Paul.
Hon. o. M. Hall presided at the
meeting, and introduced the speakers of
the evening in an excellent address,
during which he said that whatever men
had thought, studied or read concern
ing the tariff question the name of
Roger Q. Mills is stamped thereon and
became household name. When MIR.
Mills arose to address the meeting, he
was greeted with
Immense Applause
His speech was one of his best efforts,
and for over two hours he contraSted
high tariff and protection to monopoles
with honest taxation that shall not op-
press the great masses. He riddled the
Republican policy of favoring the few,
and advocated the Democratic idea of
lessening the burdens of taxation. He
appealed to the agricultural classes to
vote In their own interests and to crush
out policy that operates against their
prosperity and interests. He declared
that the passage of a wise tariff
law will enhance the purchasing value
of the farm products and materially de-
crease the price of goods the farmer
and workingman must buy.
The history of the tariff was succinct-
ly discussed and tersely anaIyzed. He
wanted the Republicans to answer why
the tariff does not increase the price of
wages, when it is claimed by them to
have been passed for that purpose.
The frequent applause indicated that
Mr.. Mills had fully demonstrated the
heresy Of the Republican party and that
meeting i'll a Republican stronghold
could not do otherwise than demonstrate
that much good was done.
