c. Simerson. and VI. f. Gere Of Mount Morris.
b. g. Foss Of Dansville and Judge Metcalf Of

and escorted in a carriage, preceded by q band,
to the Scoville House. where he held an informal
reception. At Q O'Clock he addressed Demo-

pie. George s. Ewart called the meeting to
order. and Irving Van Allen acted as Chairman.
The Senator reviewed the issues Of the cam
paiRn at length. Referring to the tariff ques-
tion, he said:
II am reminded that am speaking to-day in
one OF tho finest portions Of the agricultural sec
tions of our State. II 10 q section where the
peoples interests have never been subserved by
the efforts OF high protective tariff, but where
every self interest demands a revenue tariff
You believe that tariff should be imposed for
public purposes and not to aid one mans
business at the expense of another. You
were not fooled by the provisions OF the
Mckinley bill wherein an increased duty was
placed upon wheat for the avowed and ostensi-
be purpose Of afordng your wheat some pro-
tection when, in truth and in fact. It was OF no
benefit whatever, because there are not a thou
sand bushels of wheat imported into this
country from one year to another. Foreign

here where the competition arises. There is
scarcely an article In the whole agricultural
tariff schedule where such interests are or can
be promoted by high and prohibitory duty.
