Address OF the National Committee 60
the People of the United states.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The following synopsis
OF an address to the people was issued by the
Democratic national committee today:
As the campaign will soon end 1t is right and
necessary that we should say few word: to
you. There Is no man. woman or child in the
United States who is not affected by the tariff
laws. Since 1865 Thousands of men, by means OF
Individual or corporate wealth, have been mas
sufficient to enforce the continuance and in
crease in time OF peace the taxes on neces.
sariea OF life, original imposed in time OF war
only because OF the actual needs of the govern
ment The wealth which under former laws
was distributed among all classes engaged in
industrial life 10 in the hands of . few. The
labor of their brains and hands, are struggling
on weariiy, looking to united action for relief.
The feeling 10 strong in your breasts, and today
there is conviction in each OF your minds that
every man ndwoman among you 10 forced to pay
price Tor the necessaries OF iiie which oughe
not to be paid and . great proportion OF which
does not go to the government, but to e small
number OF favored people who control the gov.
ernment. You know that this class contr6is
and uses the government 1t is band OF
moneyed men combined for sordid purposes and
actually ruling the Republican party. The fed
eral officeholders are part OF its machinery. It
succeeded in 1888 in defeating Grover Cleveland
by intimidation OF workmen and corrupt use OF
money. before you became aware of the danger.
You are not now ignorant of your peril.
In no country in the whole world in which the
people have right TO vote has purpose to
plainly shown. You will not remain passive
spectators of this scene. The people of New
York, remembering the high character and pub
lie services OF Grover Cleveland; Knowing that
his election is certain to guarantee wiser,
purer aud better government, will rally to his
support Many Republicans in the state of New
York, who love their country and despise the
men now controlling their party, will come to
his aid, and ne viii win an overwhelming vic
ry i'll this we,i-proved state. The farmers OF
Indiana will show that l.o06 beneticiaries OF
Federal legislation cannot again by fraud,
knavery and purchase obtain the electoral vote
OF that state. he substantial yeomanry of New
Jersey will teach their Opprcssors on the Jay OF
the presidential election lesson they will never
fprget. The farmers and worxingn}en OF Con-
uecticut will remember their wrongs at the
polls in November. aud the people of Delaware
au West Virginia will follow their Example.
Bear in mind that you owe 10 the men who
maint tain the present corrupting and iniQuitOus
tariff ;he initiation sud continuing threat OF
the force bill, measure introduced for further
ing Republican partisan schemes Failing in
their neinrious plans, they have again put their
hands in their pockets and raised a campaign
fund as means of retaining control of the gov
errment, which the force bill would have sup.
piled them with. President Harrison H. in favor
of any method OF carrying Federal elections
which taat dangerous bill supplies The silence
OF the Republicans on the subject does not, we
are sure, deceive you.
You must on the Sth day of November make q
choice which VIII Yltaiiy anecp the interests OF
the country. The individual vote of each one of
you is OF supreme importance Under Grover
Cleveland president the controlling motive
will be the greatest good TO the greatest number,
and puUiic office will be sacretly regarded as q
public trust The civil service will not be
dragged against its will through the miro OF
nominating conventions, but the laws regulat-
ing it will be honestly enforced. Agriculture
anu commerce, growing III sqiidity under wiser
laws, win greatly increase the national pro per-
ity. TIE individual workinggnau will find his
wants more taken into account and his reason
able demands more readily listened to. No
combination will be able to dictate laws to
Grover Cleveland or to Democratic majority in
congress. We ask every jone OF you TO labor
without ceasing for Cleveland and Stevenson
aud !or good government under a Democratic
administration. On election day lay aside all
duties except the duty to protect the polls
against bri berry, fraud or intimidation. No
authority can empower any man To interfere
with the lawful casting OF your rightful balots
Right is with us. and we are certain OF victory.
Make it An oyerw helmirg triumph
