CHEERING CLEVELAND.
Observation-Disclosures cheering)-like
a good captain, when the ship was In
danger, did not stop to paint the mast
or mend the torn sails. but Immediately
took steps to stop the leak. He called
a special session of Congress, which re-
pealed the Sherman law. l am aston
ished that in spite of the contentious
within and without the party that he was
able to repeal that law. ! assert to-
night that if Mr.. Harrison had been re-
elected in 'a2, six months afterward there
would nave been a thousandfold more
depression and trouble ror the laporinS
men than ever has been under Grover
Cleveland. CHEERS and ~applauseo
Major Mckinley and other calamity
hewlers are going up and down the
country declaring that d~estructlon Is
upon US. Major Mckinley is a gooo
man, a good father and a good citizen.
L won't say a word against MS char-
acter, but he is protection mad. He Is
a generous man. Why, In making up
this bill, he gave us dried acorns on the
free list, and now he is going about the
country giving us dried chestnuts. He
is going about the United States in a
palace car in q cloud of gloom with a
black bordered handkerchief to his eyes
calling the attention of the country to
the death of his poor child, the Mckinley
bill A tramp in tatters or a closed shop
gives him a paroXysm of joy.
REPUBLICAN HYPOCRISY.
"The Republicans say, Let us lave
commercial peace ana Mr.. Harrison
says we have been so long out of power
that we don't know how to govern. We
are a party of critics. Very well; let
US c~riticise them. What Is the Republic
can programme? Mr.. Mckinley cries,
Give us back my poor child Tom
Reed says, No. your Mckinley tariff is
too high Mr.. Alger, who will probably be
the candidate for President, also says
the Mckinley tariff is too high for the
SS0l a11o lC oAo ~
Harrison. But Mckinley and the Phila-
delphia manufacturers say Give us the
high tariff If you should put them in
the jury room of the Court House upon
the Hill they couldn't tell you what the
Republican platform is. I tell the
Democrats of Hudson that the Mckinley
bill will never again darken the statute
book of the United States. If the Re-
publicans had fifty majority in the House
the South and West would never let
them enact the Mckinley bill again.
1.-THE Republican orators and the Re
publican press have no right TO mis-
state the case. Commercial peace will
only come by maintaining the Demo-
cratic party in its present conservative
attitude. Mr.. Harrison. in New York,
the other night, told his side of how the
Wilson bill passed the Senate. He said
the Senate was violently divided, and
the bill was peddled up and down the
aisles. I will admit there was no fric-
ton when the Mckinley bill passed.
The silence thai reigned there was the
silence that reigned over Warsaw. Re-
publican Senators and Congressman did
not make that law. 1t was the manu-
lacIuFeIS WHO COitTlDuteu ~ AI. IldiIt-
sons SECTION. They packed the House.
Democrats were ruthlessiy thrust put Of
the chamber without the shadow of a
hearing, and Mr.. Reed OVERRIDE the well
established rules of the House. 1t is
the boast of the manufacturers of Phila-
delphia that they made the Mckinley
bill.
GOOD DEMOCRATIC WORK.
1--WE are a bad lot. we Democrats, an
awful bad lot. We came into power
pledged to reduce taxes. We took off the
tax on wool, and, if we have done moth
ing else to entitle us to power, the taking
of the tax on wool would do SO. Now
the Republicans tell us they put the high
tariff law on the statute book only for
the working people. They care nothing
for the loss of their property or profits,
but their hearts are wrung every time
wages are reduced. They remind one of
the Tory, who in speaking on the ques
ton of Home Rule for ireland, said tina
if Home Rule was granted the Irishmen
they would soon kill each other off. BE
good, if you thought that cried a man
fn the gallery; we'd a had Home Rule
since the days of Cromwell So these
men have no concern except to keep up
wages.
SORRY FOR M'KINLEY.
"I am sorry for Major Mckinley. He
spoke In a place in West Virginia the
other day with store signs staring him
