The Bible says, ale that proyideth
not for IIis own household both de-
MES the faith and IL worse than an in-
fIdel." The Republican policy, there:
fore, directly promotes the interest OF
labor. LABOR alone produces wealth.
More than 90 p0r cent Of production u
represented By labor. Old John Roach
once said that one Oi his ships that cost
100000 contained only 5000 worth oil
raw material, while S95,009 Of It repre-
scented labor. A ton OF iron orc in lite
native bed is ouIy worth % centsi when

horseshoes aud 1t 10 worth $40; work II

$3.50; make IL into needles and II IS
worth So. 800; draw it out iuto hair
springs for watches and It's yalue Is
$4,000, Ali Of these values arc the
creation Of labor.
But tho Democrats tell US that pro-
lection Is robbery. How can 1t be rob-
berry where there is 30 much competf-
ton? There arc in tho United States,
as the resultrof .our Hystem Of protec.
ton, $1,000 shoe and boot factories.
$500 farm implement factories, 5000
machine works, 500 carriage tRctorles'
400 cotton and 1900 WOODEN mills,
$500 furniture and upholstering lac;
tories, 1900 iron and steel mills anu
FORCES, and 81 tin factories. Where
competition IL free there Gun DO no
robbery.
Tie speaker then discussed trusts
and strikes. and showed by actual tg.
ures that England, with her 32,OOO,OOO
population, almost doubled the strikes
and trusts In the United States with
O4,0O0,OO0. A protective tariff does not
therefore produce them.
BY many illustrations, Mr. Atkinson
proved that the tariff is not tax upon
The consurhor, because hundreds OF arti-
cles in every day demand in tho home
aud on tho farm can bs purchasd at q
lesa price than fho thrill duty upon
them. Tho speaker said tho Republic
can party favored tariff wall high
enough to prevent tho wage rate in the
United States from being reduced to
tho English level.
The Republican party has always full
filed itS pledges to the people. Tue
Democrats have mover made good any
OF their promises. The speaker then
took up tho democratic platform and
recited its promites TO the people, and
although it has the executive and both
branches OF Congress, it has utterly fail
ed to mako good single promise. On
tho contrary, instead Of good times, they
gave US depression from Maino 10 Cali
forniu. Instead OF employment OF labor
at better wages. they have given Us 10
employment, and cut in wages from
20 to so per cent. Banks closed by the
hundred, business collapsed, railroads
were thrown into bankruptcy. tho peo-
pie werc driven to soup houses by tho
thousand, mortgages were foreclosed:
and darkness and desolotion exist all
over tho land.
They have not made good any OF their
pledges, and they are now calling for.

Those Of you who desired "a change"
two years ago want II change now q
thousand timo worse than you did
then, and the chances are ten to ono
that you will vote for the Republican

9th day Of November next
The language OF tho Democrats has
become confused rs badly as tho sinners
were bewilderod when they attempted
10 construct the tower of babel from
earth 10 heaven. Every fellow ut Wash
ing;on Is against the other fellow, and
they all haVc one another by the ears.
The Presidout in his letter to Mr.. Will
son said give US FREQ raw materials or
give us death, and few days later his
secretary OF the treasury wrote an
eplstle to tho chairman Of tho senate
committee on finance, in which he said
II iron ore, coat and sugar ase placed
upon the freq list there will DO an an
nual deficit in tho treasury Of forty mil.
lion dollars. Thus We have Cleveland
versus Carlisle, and OIL November 9th
next, We will have tho people versus
tho whole OF thcm, with Queen Iii"
thrown in Tor good count.
Mr.. Atkinson closed by urging upon
every good citizen tho Importance OF
voting for Captain DoYener in order to
have representative in the American
Congress who could bo relied upon 10
properly represent them.
Mr.. j. W. Martin delivered n short,
but appropriate and fOrcotul address.
Tho meeting closed by giving three
rousinr cheers FOR Captain Dovener,
MIR. Atkinson and tho Republican party.
Mr.. Landers made few happy re.
marks in introducing tho speakers.
Colonel Jacob Kcmple addressed
