The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1894-10-27

foot in il. what did say was this:
said Mr.. Wilson. ! said that our policy
Of tariff reform was TO break down the
barriers that the Republicans had built
that our producers might ship their sur
plus out Who ever heard OF tariff ON
the surplus exports OF this country? III
had boy who would be guilty OF n
remark Of that kind would send him
to Il reform school Yet Mr.. Wilson
made this explanation and to accredit
him with due intelligence, giving him
the benefit Of doubt, we must infer
that Mr.. Wilson deliberately lied"
Mr.. Stevens then took up the local
effects of the Democratic administration
By figures in hand ne proved that in
1892 there were employed in and about
the Crystal Falls district 800 men at an
average wage oi 50 90 per day. In 1898
there was practically no employment.
During the past three months OF 1894
there have been employed about l25
men at n wage averaging Il triie below
81. % per day. This meant total loss
on account of the Democratic admins
trntion 60 the labor oi this field the en-
ormous amount of 81 ,SGS 900 in round
numbers. So much has labor in this
little field suffered on account OF Dem
ocracy Does labor want two years
more Of the eame kind?
After very convincing and eloquent
address, only few oi the excellent
points OF which have been covered in the
above, Mr. Stevens concluded by calling
the attention OF the voters TO the i'm
portaucc OF voting the Republican ticket
straight.
"You may bc advised 10y oflice-scoking
men," he said, "thnt you assert your
American independence and vote FOR
local officers regardless OF politics. This,
my friends, is mistaken idea. AZ soon
as you lose the county offices you lose
your organization and without organiza.
ton you have no Republican party. II
you would change the conditions that
surround you, YOU must vote for every
Republican on the Republican ticket"
