voice 10 well adapted for outdoor oratory and
he made a ringing address. Briefly he exposed
the awful consequences Of the adoption OF the
proposal Of the Democratic platform to repeal
the tax on the issue of currency by State banks
This question alone should win every man VINO
reasoned dspassionately, over to the Republican
party. tCheers) The great issue of the cam
paicn however, he said! was the Mckinley
law tApplause The principle upon whlch
il was lpsed was the simple one, that 'ne
laborcrs Of this country should make the goous
consumed here and the merchants of the Ihlten
States should handle them Cheers Inc
Democratic position was that the articles shoulu
be manufactured abroad, and that the paupcr
foreign labor should receive the wages now paid
20 American workmen
