NEW ORh, NOV. f. Il Ho loilo"ihs
address Ito the peope of the United
States" was issued by the Democratic
national committee today:
The presidential campaign will soon
end. 1t is right and necessary that we
should say few words to you. There
is no man, woman or child in the Unit
ed States who is not affected by our
tariff laws. They enter into and regulate
the expenses of daily life of every indl-
vidual. Since 1865 less than 1000 men
in this country have been. by means of
the individual or corporate wealth un-
der their control, the masters of our
tariff system. Their power has been
sufficient to enforce the continuance
and increase Of taxes in time of peace
of taxes on necessaries of life, origln-
ally imposed in time of war, only be-
cause of the actual needs of the govern
ment.
Made a Few wealthy.
Under the system of war taxes thus
continued, the conditions Of life i'll this
country have essentially changed. The
wealth, which under former laws was
distributed among all classes engaged
in industrial life, has centered i'll the
hands of a few. These have accum-
ulated fortunes unequaled III any Euro
pean state, and set an example OF prod
igal luxury to the world. The masses
of the people, who toll in the fields or
gain their bread in the rural districts
OF in towns and cities by the labor of

YEARLY, looking to your united action
for relief.
You know that this class controls and
uses the government. 1t is a band of
moneyed men, combined for sordld pur-
poses and actually ruling the Republic
an party. The federal officehOlders are
part of its machinery. It's method OF
operation is intimidation of Workmen
and the corrupt use of money. In no
country in the whole world, In which
the people have tile right to vote, has
purpose to carry all election by
The USE of Money
been more plainly shown. The enor-
nous sums gathered in broad daylight
from the contributing thousandS-the
characters of the men who are openly
selected to put this money where. in
their vulgar speech. it will do the most
good-and the prostitution of the public
service to the lowest political work
is daily seen by all men. You
ors to this scene. The people of the
state of New York, remembering the
high character and public service Of
Grover Cleveland, and knowing that his
election is certain guarantee OF a
wiser, purer aud better government,
will rally to his support. He will win
an overwhelming victory in his well
beloved state.
The farmers of Indiana, cheated more
than once by the base methods which
are being used once again to control
that state, will show that a tnousaad
benefciares of federal legislation can
not again by fraud, knaverY and pur-
chase obtain the electoral vote of that
state.
Jersey All Right
The substantial yeomanry Of New
Jersey, Justly irritated at the attempt 70
defeat their will by the open bribery of
the basest elements of their population,
will teach the thousand contributors on
the day of election lesson they will
never forget.
The farmers and Workingmen of Con-
necticut, robbed of their rightful state
government by the methods now sought
to be practiced against Grover Cleve-
land, will remember their wrongs at the
polls in November, and the people of
Delaware and West Virginia, resenting
the attempt now made to corrupt and
intimidate many of their number, will
follow their example.
You will bear in mind that you owe to
the few men who maintain the present
corrupting and iniquitous tariff the
initiation and continuing threat of the
force bill. That was measure intro
duced for the purpose of furtherlng Re-
publican partisan schemes. Under 1t
they could have used the federal judi.
ciary for political purposes, and have
employed an army of federal officials,
paid for out of
The Public Treasury,
to control the coming presidential
election and all elections for members
of congress. Failing in that plan, they
have again put their hands in their
pockets and raised the campaign fund.
President Harrison is in favor of any
method of carrying federal elections
which that dangerous bill supplies.
The silence of the Republican leaders
who are conducting LIS campaign does
not, we are sare, deceive you.
YQamust on the Sth day OF Novem-
Der make choice which will vitality
affect the interests OF your country.
