NACNILOQUENT MAC
Makes a Speaking Trumpet Of His
Hat With Great Success.

Bangor, Me, Sept. S.-The greatest au-
dience ever gathered indoors to hear
political speech in Bangor, assembled in
the city hall to listen TO Gov. Mckinley
of Ohio. Long before the advertised time
for the opening of the meeting the great
hall was filed to suffocation. Every seat
was occupied and hundreds were obliged
to stand, and at least 1000 were turned
away. Fully 2,5QC people heard the
speech, which was received with mani
festations of approval.
Tributes To BLAINE AND HAMLIN.
Gov. Mckinley prefaced his address by
warm tributes to James G.. Blaine and
Hannibal Hamlin.
The democratic President and the
democratic congress, he said, have been
running the government for eighteen
months, during which time little else has
been running. Industry has been praci-
cally stopped. Labor has found little
employment and when employed it
has been 1t greatly reduced wages Both
government and people have been drain
| ing their reserves, and both have been
running in debt. The government has
suffered in its revenues and the people in
their incomes. The total losses to the
country in business, property and
wages are beyond human calculation
| There has been no cessation in the waste
of wealth and wages; no contentment,
| brightness, or hope has anywhere ap-
| peared. The appeals to charity have
never been so numerous and incessant,
| nor their necessity everywhere so mani
| fest. Congress has disappointed the peo-
! pie, trifled with the sacred trust coniided
to it, excited distrust and disgust among
| their constituents and impaired their in
| vestments
He TOOK THIS OUT OF HIS UAT.
! Pledged, if platforms mean anything to
! overthrow our long continued policy of
| protection, they have quarrelled and com
! promised, and, upon their own testimony,
! have been compromised The result of
! their long wrangle is a tariff law with
which nobody is satisfied law, which
even those who made it, apologize for 4;
a law, which the chairman on ways and
| means and almost the entire democratic
! side of the House condemned by aye and
nay vote only few days before
! its passage, affirming their inten-
tiOn, IN the most solemn manner,
not to permit it TO be enacted
| law which all factions of the democratic
party agreed to be the work
of monstrous trust which
Chairman Wilson confessed in the
! House, amid the applause of his cOnfed-
| crates with deep chagrin, "held congress
by the throat a law Of which the House
of Representatives were so thoroughly
ashamed that they had no sooner had it
| passed than they made hot haste to seek
It's immediate amendment by passing sup
Elementary bills which put their tariffed
sugar, coal, lead, iron and barbed wire on
| the free list.
OF COURSE HE DOESN'T LIKE IT.
A law which never received the delib-
crate consideration Of the conference
| committee, and was not Withdrawn by
the Senate only because Of the forced and
hurried action of the House in accepting
it under the threat Of the agents of the
trust that it was THAT or nothing and
in all human probability nothing.
a law which the President condemned
before its passage, and from which when
passed, ne withheld his approval; law
which was characterized before its pas
sage by the greatest leader IN the Dem
| OcratiC party, the senior senator from
New York, as violation of democratic
pledges and principles
But even if the democratic leaders
were satisfied with what they have done
before the settlement could be accepted
as final, and the country be set at rest
the new law must pass the review Of the
people and be approved by them. If the
country was disposed to accept it as final
ana could permanently adjust business tC
it, the party in power would not have
il so, they have declared with boldness
and unanimity. This means, unfortu
nately, a constant agitation till the fourth
day of March, 1898, at least, and for two
years longer after that unless the people
in the congressional elections this yeal
make the house republican in which
event no further wrecking of our indus
tries. or interference with the labor o
our people can occur during the admins
tratiOn of President Cleveland.
What viii your verdict be! A demo
cratic victory means further and lOnge
steps in the direction of free trade
deeper cuts and more heavy blows on ou
ndpstrial life. A republican victory 4
republican House means that during tn
closing half OF Mr. Cleveands admins
tration the enemies Of the protective sys

After most bitterly deuouncing tn
bill they have just passed democrati
leaders and press console themselves bl
declaring that the new law after all /
