they are the Pinkertons, who are
brought to protect the foreign laborers.
There is text for the calamity
howlers. Applause They would
have YOU think there was no panic out
that of 1898. Why they crowded more
panics into the thirty years OF their ad-
ministration of the Government, than
in all It's previous history.
but they say that the Democratic
party did nothing after assuming the
reins of government. They forget that
we levied an income tax, which, TO that
extent, eQualizes burdens of taxation.
They forget that we wiped the Infamous
Force bill from the starute books.
/ They forget that we did that GROWING
act of the Democratic Congress, which
should make it 90 down into history
( as the best that ever assembled In
Washington-we repealed the infamous
/ Mckinley bill. TApplausel. And in so
| doing, we destroyed no industry. Let
| them tell US of single industry that
we destroyed. You have had brief
trial of the Democratic revenue meas
ure and you have witnessed a complete
revival OF business throughout the
country. They passed through the
mills a BenwoOd, with their glow aud
heat of Industry so completely demon
alizing their calamity walls, that they
had 10 null down the blinds In the cars,
for they did not care TO see 1t.
Let US contrast the
REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC THEo-
RIEs.
Let us see what the Republicans did in
their thirty years of power. They had
an income tax, a tax on gold and silver
plate, and they repealed both. They
re pealed the tax on legal instruments,
on deposits in banks, on playing cards.
They found they had gone too FAR, and
the revenues were not sufficient for the
maintenance OF the government. They
took the tax off playing
cards, and placed it in the Holy Bible,
IApplause. / don't know how much
nearer heaven they got by such piece
of legislation. Laughter.l You pay
tax on playing cards now, and get the
truths OF Divine Revelation free.
IL would ask you TO markione especial
point in Capt. Dovener's speeches. II
man in this country has $50 worth oil
iron, he says, and sells 1t to England,
England gets the iron, and we get the
money; but II he sells it here, the Amer
lean has the iron and the money both,
and he adds that that's the theory OF
protection In nutshell. III that
is true, suppose the Sheriff
and l go into business together,
We have $50 worth Of iron. II we sell
il in England, England gets the iron,
we the money, therefore we must only
sell II here. But IL we sell ii 10 New
York. the New Yorker gets the iron,
therefore we must sell IL In West Vir-
binia. But we want 10 build up Wheel
Ing aud make it a rival OF Pitts6urg
So we can't sell anywhere else, for the
iron would 90 away from US, and there
fore we agree TO sell the iron TO eact
ntber. and keep both iron and money Ii
the firm. Laughter and applause
CAPT. DovENER SAID
at Moundsville that be wanted tariff

mt around every State, and everT
county, and every town. You msrch

a fellow from Ohio wants 20 compete

That's the kind OF protectlonist | am.

WHY restrict yourselves? Why vote foi
