incidents in connection with his cam
paign for Governor, and continuing SAID
that no wage Garner had his
WAGES INCREASED
under the Mckinley act. The Repuo-
icans favor free trade in labor.
They say they levy tariff to protect
the workiugman, and then permit
the gates to remain open for the admis-
sion Of the pauper labor OF Europe. In
the iron business they have what
they call scale of wages, and
whenever the tariff is increased
wages are scaled downward. The
speaker then showed that wages
have already been Increased under the
Wilson bill. He read newspaper clip
ping stating that the Lowell Manufact-
uring Company, OF Boston, reduced
wages under the Mckinley act, and re-
stored them upon the passage OF the
Wilson bill. Also letter from Re-
publican Philadelphia wooden manufact-
urer, who said the operation OF the new
tariff law was a revelation, the factory
making more and better goods to sup
ply an increased demand, and paying
better wages to employees.
"McKinleySm was the worst trouble
that afflicted the patient when DR.. VIII
son took charge Of him. But there
were other troubles. One was the
Force bill, that was devised 10 take
from the people the control OF the local
elections. One OF the many things the
Democratic party did was to wipe that
odious statute from the books, and re-
store the Democratic boon OF home
rule. In the little time it has
had, the Democratic party has
undertaken TO redeem the
pledges made to the people in 1892. 1t
is true that last year, before il could
assume the reins Of legislation, the peo-
pie in spirit OF pique, rose against the
party. But there Is nothing more GER
tain than that the people will return to
the Democratic party, which was its
savior in the past, and will be its savior
in the future. Applause.
"You have an interesting election
N THIS DISTRICT.
II the control of the government is
taken from the Democratic party. there
is nothing surer than that the Repuoli-
can party will go back to McKinleyiSm
and all It's attendant evils. That idea
permeates every sentence Of the
speeches Mckinley is making. Yet 1t
is but a year that every Republican
speaker made the burden Of his song
that there should be no more tariff
the Mckinley act, but the
fear of tariff legislation, that
caused the widespread business
depression. We are satisfied with a
Democratic tariff. We want trial on
il. Give US one year, aud if prosperity
does not come, I will say that stultiied
myself when l addressed you tonight.
If you want stability, business pros
perity, steady employment both for cap
ital and labor, you don't want RepubIi-
cans to come in with their doctrine that
McKinleyism is not disease but
remedy.
"You have candidate here OF whom
you ought to be proud. Applause
You know him better than l, but l
know him we'll enough to know that
yon will be proud OF him. Applause.
He is one of the people. He has been
himself an employe, rising from the
ranks by sheer ability and industry and
character He will make you worthy
representative. Enthusiastic ap-
plause.e And l hope when l put
my ear to the wire on the
evening of November eth, the first
thing / hear will be message from
Lcuis DeIaplsine. telling me that How.
ard is elected"
Ex-Governor Campbell closed amid
the enthusiastic applause and cheers OF
his audience. The Opera House was
still packed, and cheers for Campbell
and for Howard were given so goner-
ously and so vociferously as to clearly
disprove all Republican boasts Of DEM
ocratic indifference in the campaign.
