 stand on the statu, looks, he mistakes
 the sentiment at u :, end of the coun- try. You remembes fir. Cleveland in
 his letter to Mir. ketchum said that the tariff warfare had Just begun. Mir. Wilson has declared the same thing.
 and yet my friend Pigott the other night said that 1t was necessary to
 elect democratic congress to perpetu-
 ate this act of periidy and dishunor.' "The reason We want tarlff Is that
 you all might have proper employment
 and wages without the aid Of the peo- pie on the other side, to whom MT
 Wilson said before a free trade ban quet in London that our ports were
 now open to English manufactured
 goods"
 At this point Mir. Glacking again got
 up and said. "The democratic party
 don't want a tariff on manufactured
 goods"
 | Amid cheers and misses MT. Sperry
 tried to proceed and answer the chal-
 lenge. He told how Senator Murphy
 of Troy, N. r., had said that no tariff
 bill would pass that did not protect
 the collar and cuff industry, in which
 he happened to be interested in Troy. | There was so much confusion that
 MT. Sperry finally said he would an-
 swer the gentleman If he would step
 upon the stage. MT. Glacking accord
 ingly took his seat on the platform,
 where he remained until MT. Sperry
 had finished. Although the meeting
 was far from orderly, MT. Sperry man.
 aged to proceed with his address.
 "Why did the senators from Tennes-
 see, from West Virginia, from Virginia
 and from Maryland say that no tariff
 bill would pass the house or the senate
 that should say there was no duty on
 coal and iron? If the duty on collars
 and cuffs was good thing for Senator
 Murphy and Troy people, and duty
 on coal and iron is a good thing for the states which produce those articles,
 why was not your representative will
 ing that you should share in protec- | ton which would mean prosperity to you and which he has denied you?
 But the democrats went even fur ther than the tariff bill. They added an income tax. Now up in Hartford | there is representative in congress
 who voted both against the tariff bill l and the income tax. When he came be- fore the people of his district for renom- ination they indorsed all that he had | done. Now down in this district MT. | Pigott advocated both the tariff bill | and the income tax, and his action has
 been endorsed. Now think you want to be dealt with faithfully and honor ably. But what want to know is, why what is good for the democratic party at one end of the state Is not good for 1t at the other. Why does the democratic party deal out one dose of medicine to one part of the party and
 anthep to another?"
 Avoice-"Pigott did not vote in favor of importing Chinese"
 People are anxious to know just where the democratic party stands. "Dun & Co.,, who cannot afford to lie as they serve both parties, say that two billion dollars have been taken l from the pockets of the wage earners of the country, owing to the uncer- tainty caused by the delay in legisla- tion. While you have been going through with trouble and distress, they at Washington have been lowering the tariff that the goods of England may come in cheaper than you can produce them.
 "Now this income tax will even- tually come out of your pockets. It will be put down by the manufacturer as an expense against doing business just as fuel, gas, town, city or school taxes. For there has got to be money to run the government somewhere and it takes $350, 100000"
 MT. Sperry then alluded to the trusts and compared the prices and quality of the goods of the present time with those of thirty years ago. He said that the democrats forgot that one of the largest and most powerful trusts in the world was formed in the north of England under free trade.
 In closing he said:
 "This is your home. You have se- lected it and home and government that is not worth maintaining in the best manner possible is not worth hav- ing. Stand by your own government and your own people, and when you come to casting your votes, cast it in such manner as to protect your own family and your own people,"
 When MT. Sperry had finished his speech MT. Glacking advanced to the front of the platform with the purpose of speaking his mind on the subject under consideration. But he had some difficulty in accomplishing. his purpose as the vice presidents of the meeting tried to persuade him to retire. He refused point blank and an officer was summoned, and he at length went down in the audience and took his seat. In the meantime the band had struck up in order to drown the noise and confusion which had arisen The band was not successful, however, and it looked as though the meeting would break up in a scene of riot and disor- der. At MT. Sperry's suggestion MT. Glacking was given the floor for ten minutes. So he again mounted the plat form and made a short speech. in which he eulogized MT. Sperry in most glowing terms, but said that the re- publicans had forgotten to mention the hard times of '72-73 under republican administration.
 Attorney William H. Ely, who was the next speaker, said that the hard times '72-'73 were caused by a reduc- ton of the tariff and he was glad MT. GlackinQ had sn0lxan of if an nnnn,r
