with il and at last fatty refused him the re-
lief he still needs. The workingman who
has been deceived by the promise OF higher
wages and better employment, and who
now constantly fears the closing OF manu-
factories and the loss of work, ought GER
tainly to be no longer caioled by party
whose performance has so clearly given the
lie TO its profession. The consumer, who
has trusted to reformation of the tariff by
its friends, now that he feels the increased
borden of taxation in his home, ought 10
look in another direction for relief.
If the Democratic party does not give TO
the State OF Rhode Island during the pres
ent session of Congress the free raw ma
terial she needs, il will be because Repub-
lican Senate or executive thwarts its de-
signs. AT any rate nothing shall divert US
from our purpose to reform the tariff in
this regard, as well as many others, be the
time of its accomplishment near or remote.
IT doubtless would please our adversaries
if we could be allured from cur watch and
guard over the cause of tariff reform TO
certain other objects, thus forfeiting the
peoples trust and confidence. The Ma
tional Democracy will hardly crafty this
wish and turn its back upon the peoples
cause to wander after false and unsteady
lights in the wilderness Of doubt and dan
ger.
Our opponents must, in the coming Ma
tional canvass, settle accounts with Us on
the issue of tariff reform. 1t will not do
for them to say To US that is an old and de-
termined contention. The ten command
ments are thousands OF years old; but they
and the doctrine of tariff reform will be
taught and preached until mankind and the
Republican party shall heed the injunction.

Mr.. Cleveland spoke nalf an hour in a
loud aud clear tone and was listened TO
with close attention each paragraph being
greeted with a round of applause. At the
close of his speech he was greeted with
prolonged cheering.
Ex-Governor James r. Campbell Of
Ohio followed and opened by referring TO
the action of the Republicans in Selling the
large halls in Providence, and preventing
the Democrats from using them. He then
took up newspaper criticisms of his recent
speeches at Lincoln and Providence.
The speaker read a description by /. v.
Powde-ly of the condition of laborers in
the Connellsville coke region to show there
was not universal prosperity under high
tariff.
"Wheu my friend, Major Mckinley, re-
plies to me at long range tonight, want
him to tell how many times Carnegie,
Phipps e Co. went into their pockets TO
contribute TO my defeat, and whether that
money was not taken out of their men $
pockets To-day's papers say Carnegie Is
ready for another sliding scale He must
have been contributing to this election"
He spoke of the closing of AN oatmeal
mill at Ravenna, Ohio, as the result OF a
trust fostered by the Mckinley bill, and
said he had prophesied it five months ago
His closing point was with reference
to the effect of an increase in the tariff
upon wages. Mckinley had epitomized
the tariff thus: 1--WE make the foreign
manufacturer pay into the treasury the
difference between his labor cost and our
labor cost before we allow him to enter the
American markets.
The speaker closed as follows: "The only
danger is from that gentleman whose
name is placed before the theatres or the
highest bidder. If you watch them, and the
Democracy of Rhode Island are true TO
themselves and their suffrages are unpur-
chased, you will send the most joyful
note out to the people of this country next
Wednesday night that has been sent this
many long year. | ceSeech youto do this
for yourselves aud for the Democracy Of
the country, and for the country itself, and
over and above all that, for equality Of
rights for men before the law
Ex-Governor Campbells speech was re-
ceived alphabetically but without loud
demonstrations His witty manner took
with the audience, and he was several
times interrupted with laughter. AT the
close of the speech the meeting was adj
journed. Ex-President Cleueland was
again cheered when he reached the street
