ABSOLUTELY PURE

This paralysis is as wide as the continen
and yet Democrats attempt to tell idlt
workmen that business is booming. Ther,
Is no boom here. Everybody knows that
but every time a man nails a board on
pig pen the Every Evening and Evening
Journal set up howl about the goot
times. Qaughter)
There are other issues In this campaign
that are equally as interesting and impor.
tant as the tariff. There are state issues
Of overwhelming Importance. Republicans
are not only fighting for the right to earn
living and to live decently, but are fight
ing for their rights as citizens. They are
going to win this time, and it Is good
thing for the Democrats in this state that
the Republican party is pledged to repeal
the Delaware election law. God
help the Democrats if that was not true.
Their experience under the Federal cleo
tion laws would soon be forgotten, There
would be no chance for a minority party
again in this state. But that is not the
Republican way-the American way OF
doing things. The law of 1873 must be
repealed and every man in Delaware must
be guaranteed his constitutional rights.
The success of the national Republican
gress; the success of the state Republican
ticket means freedom and equal rights for
Democrats and Republicans alike.
JOHN C. EBERHART'S SPEECH.
John G, Eberhart of Pittsburg. Pa. chair
man of the Glass Makers National Asso-
citation, was next Introduced. He made an
effective speech on the tariff from work
ingman's standpoint.
In iDf ba nf ha
cratic landslide of 1892 he said the people
had been deceived. The Democratic agents
had deliberately fostered the discomfort
among laborlng men; had made them mad
by telling them they were being robbed
and then, In their madness, they had
struck at and injured their friends.
He said the working man had not
studied politics very carefully at that time,
but, thanks to Grover Cleveland and the
Democratic party, they have had plenty
of time to study over political questions
within the last eighteen months. They
have been asking what Republlcanism
means any wayG They have found out
that it means everything to them. 1t
means work, good wages, comfortable
homes and happy families. It means free
dom, self-respect and political power. With
Republican party for good and will again
put the nation in the hands Of the only
party that has ever been able to govern 1t
successfully.
In describing the eonallon " the Demo-
cratic party Mr.. Eberhart said Grover
Cleveland and the two houses OF Congress
were like base ball Mines playing a series
of grand-stand games. The House was in
nd ha uit
uniforms. The House played we'll together,
but the Senate players got lost in the
crowd. The mines played and played and
played, but didn't get anywhere, SO Grover
called the game because Of the darkness,
(Applause)
The story that deceived the people was
what the Democrats said about cheapening
everything. The promise to cheaper
everything is the only promise the Demo-
cratic party has kept. As an evidence of
this promise kept the speaker read de-
spatch telling of the sale Of sheep at from
10 cents head to As cents head, and of
lambs, with all the beautiful idealized
Democratic future before them, at II cents
a head. He thought that meat was almost
cheap enough to make Democratic soup
out Of. (Applause.)
there were soup-houses as far South as
Delaware In 1892 he had seen a market
house at Pittsburg filled with the products
of the farm and garden. He had seen this
market-house crowded with men and
women and children happy, well fed and
well clothed, buying produce to carry to
their homes. The trade at this market
house was SO great because of the many
working people who patronized 1t that
young men were sent all over the adJon-
ing country to buy farm produce TO supply
the demand for 1t.
He had seen this same market-house In
1898. Its happy, cheerful aspect had all
vanished. The people were there, but they
were poor and sad-hearted. The great piles
of farm and garden produce had also van
ished. The young men were out securing
the country, but instead Of buying produce
to stock the shambles of the market-hous
they were begging the farmers for barrel |
of cabbage or for a sheep TO cast into the !,
big soup kettle--the once gay marlet-place |
had been turned into soup-house. Demo- |
