and active industries anu it Will be
prosperous. No workingman has been
robbed Of n single cent in thirty years.
Tho full honest dollar given him for his
work has been as good in one state as
in another. In the time OF state banks
no man took his money without exam
lining counterfeit detective. To-day
the Democratic party declares in favor
OF ten per cent tax. Your money is
in danger. The character Of your
country is in danger. The Democrats
claim that II they are elevated to power
they will repeal the ten per cent tax.
Stand BY good money. With good
money and protective tariff we will
give employment toyour industries and
prosperity such rs no country has ever
enjoyed.
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Jack
son, representative Democrats OF their
day and Washington, and Adams, all
alike were devoted to the doctrines OF
protection. Tho Democratic party OF
to-day has abandoned the doctrine OF
their fathers and say those men tram
pied the constitution OF the country.
John G. Calhoun captured the Demo.
cratic party in 1874 and misled the
workingmen and asked for the policy
of 1912. From 1914 till now the south
has been in control OF the Democratic
party In 1850 the Republicans were
successful with protection and since
then the country has had pros
perity such us has never been seen in
the history Of the country.
have never yet listened to a Demo-
cratic speaker who was posted or who
did not misrepresent the question.

know how tho government can annu-
ally collect S2,O00,000.
Democrats, want to know II tariff

it, is u traitor to this country.
You must raise annually $780, 100000
by direct taxes, internal revenue and

you against these methods is worse
than traitor.

at one.fourth OF cent less per pound
since We began making them in the
United States, and the Mckinley bill
did it. Enthusiastic cheering and
voice, mckinley is tho man."
We have done more in the last ten
years in ship building than ever before.
AS Phil Sheridan said, We are going
back to the camp.
Suppose on the other side OF the
Ohio river there was an establishment
that paid 81 per day Tor making cotton
ties and one here paying 50, which
would be driven out OF the business? Ii

For fifty years our custom house doors
have been open to the world. We took
last year G66,000 unemployed labor,
furnished our own people with labor.
Can we continue to furnish employment
to labor unless we levy on goods made
abroad. You are getting more wages
than men in any other part OF tho

all nations.

AT the expiration OF tho speech three
rousing cheers were given for Colonel
Poorman, and the colonel added thathe
appreciated the cheering, but cheers
would not win and votes would be nee
essary to do this on election day.
Colonel Poorman was accompanied by
about fifty persons from Bellaire, many
OF whom were ladies.
