THE OPENING OF THE CAMPAIGN.

The campaign opened in this city last
night with big Republican mass meet
ing at Infantry Hall, There was large
audience present, and the most favor
able sign pointing to the overwhelming
success of the Republican ticket on
April was the fact that the meeting was
largely composed of intelligent work.
ing men who listened carefully to the
addresses of the eloquent speakers.
That the orators were impressed with
the significance of the occasion was
plainly observable in their speeches.
There was no attempt at fowery ora
tory, no utterance OF high sounding
phrases and professions OF glittering
generalities. There was only the plain
statement of plain facts without at
tempted establishment, and that these
sank deep into the hearts of the listeners
was evidenced by the applause that
greeted the enunciation of Republican
principles. The issues of the campaign
were put forward in language that could
not be misinterpreted-good govern
ment and protection. The people Of
Rhode Island are sure of obtaining the
first by rebuking the attempt OF the
Democracy to steal the State during the
past year, and will try and secure the
latter by rebuking the Demo:racy's
attempted assassination of Ameri-
can industries by obtaining
an overwhelming Republican majority
at the polls on the fourth day Of April
next. Remember the amended tariff
bill has not yet passed the Senate and
the moral effect of u stalwart protest
from the working people of Rhode Island
may be strong enough to prevent its
passage.
These are the issues and the Republi-
can party invites the support of the
work ng people of the State i'm their be-
half.

To THE EprroR OF THE NEWS:
SrR-It was very gratifying to the
writer, who was the first to suggest
through the columns of your progressive
paper, that our city offer some induce
ments to the burned out Bath Iron Works
to locate with us, to read in your issue of
the oath inst, that our committee on
new industries had taken hold of the
matter, and that the chairman intends
IL possible thing to get the officers of the
Bath concern to look over our advantages,
which would no doubt meet with their
approval. We certainly do not desire TO
grant them any unreasonable induce
ments, but IL they desire more money to
build and equip their plant with. why
cannot some OF our public spirited
capitalists make arrangements to
have the company reorganized with an
increased capital not exceeding 100000
and take the balance of stock therein. II
is beyond any question that the concern
would make o very desirable acquisi-
ton to our Industries and it should
be brought here IL possible. New
London is still anxious for il, but
we can offer many inducements In
the way of unexcelled fire protection,
etc. which New London cannot. Let our

formed. Some three years ago lace man.

England, desired to locate with us, but
did not meet with the encouragement
here which they should and consequently
they located I'm Scranton, Pa, where they

American Lace Manufacturing Company,

public spirited capitalists who desire to

plains why il was that, In moment
Of general peace, after years OF
high and not very forid
or very unwholsome prosperity,
on the heel Of an abundant recompense
OF labor--when there has occurred no
public calamity. no war. no famine, no
fire, no domestic insurrection. no one
startling event-so tremendous and pro-
found depression rested upon the com
mercial and industrial life OF the nation.
The Democracy has not shown the
slightest disposition to soften the blow
which the people in moment of mental
alteration unwittingly gave it the
power to infct. 1t has regarded
with composure the destruction
of every industry in the North after
tenderly protecting the interests OF the
South. What care these Southern cross
road lawyers, who have been in charge
of this tariff reform" measure, for the
sufferings of the Northern workingman?
Why should they care so long as the
Northern Democrats are willing TO stand
idle and watch the deadly work go on
and even aid 1t, save in a few excep-
tional cases, one of which, TO his honor
be it said, was tnat of Rhode Islander,
who refused TO obey the party whip and
vote for the bill which, il enacted into a
law, would wipe out every manufacture
ing industry in his native State or reduce
her people to the condition of the poverty
stricken laborers of Europe. And the
leaders of this party in Rhode
Island have the hardihood to
ask the voters of this State to
endorse party which has brought them
face to face with poverty and abject
want. Does anyone wonder that the De-
mocracy prefers not to discuss national
issues during this campaigns Yetits party
platform endorses this scheme of
the Southerners to wreck the in
dustries of this State in common with
those of other States north of Mason
and Dixon's line. These leaders ask

Congressman, loyal to the interests of his
State and his constituents placed the seal
of condemnation on by refusing to vote
for its passage. He possessed the man.
hood the dough-faced leaders of his
party at home lack.
There Is hardly an intelligent man in
Rhode Island today who will not admit
that this act Of treachery on the part
OF the South, this attempted de-
struction Of American industrial life,
will cause thousands of Northern
Democrats to break away from the men
who dishonor their party and vote for
the men who believe in the protection
of every American industry. Rhode
Island will tell the Nation on the fourth
day of April next exactly what the
people of this manufacturing State, re-
gardless Of party, think of this infamous
assault upon the manufacturing interests
of the nation. Democrats and Republi-
cans this year stand on common ground
American industries must not be sacri
feed to crafty the spite of Southern
Democrats.

SENATOR MILLER indulged in the hope
at the mass meeting at the North End
last evening that the Democrats
wouldn't indulge in scratching the ticket
next Wednesday nor vote for the So
cialistic Labor candidates. The latter
course was equivalent to half vote for
the Republican party. The suggestion
of such possibility is equivalent to
some large suspicion of desertion from
the ranks OF the unter-ified.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The duty will devolve upon the Gem
eral Assembly to be elected in April, to
choose Senator to represent Rhode Is
land in the Senate of the United States.
The issues, therefore, are largely Ma
tional. We appeal to the people upon
these issues: To endorse the Republican
party of the State in its contest during
the past year with political lawlessness,
and to sustain the principles of the Re
publican party upon National issues,
that prosperity may return to our people,
is the duty of every law-abiding and

BLUNDER Oh CRIME WHICH ?


If it had been the avowed intention
of the Democracy to disgust the people
by exhibiting absolute incapacity to
govern; II it had wished to prove that it
was nnfit to be entrusted with power,
and that its determination was to destroy
as speedily as may be the industries that
have furnished employment to hundreds
of thousP nds; aided In the development
Of the Northern States; created the
wealth that was literally poured out to
build up the West and the South, and
make our country big. prosperous
and contented, IL could not have
chosen better method Of doing SO than
it has actually pursued. From the be-
ginning to the end its tariff legislation
has been blunder and a crime. The
major part of the Democratic party
comes from the South, and it's members
have not apparently forgiven
as certainly they have not
forgotten that the North insisted that
the Union must remain intact. The
bitter Southern attack upon Northern
industries can be explained in no other
way. The authors OF this scheme to get
even with the North have not displayed
even ordinary cunning. They have
been defiant, aggressive and insolent.
They have attacked the system under
which the nation reached the height of
its prosperity, to which it owes its grand
development. and under whose foster
ing care it became the strongest, wealth
lest, most contented nation on the face
of the globe. The Democracy announced
before hand its determination to upset
the existing order OF things, and substi-
tute therefore different kind Of politi-
cal economy.
Had this been done. the charge of sec
tionalism could not have been raised
but once in power the Democracy re-
fused to carry out its pledges, and began
the creation Of that hideous monstrosity
the Wilson tariff bill, representing nc
school of political economy, and dis
owned and despised by many belonging
to the party which was responsible for
its birth. j. represented nothing save
an intense desire TO destroy the indus
tries OF the North while protecting those
Of the South.
The result has made itself manifest
from week TO week and month "a
month. The business world, alarmed
at first by the prospect Of an utter
change in commercial policy. became
paralyzed with fear when little by little
the details Of the scheme became public.
Mill doors closed, mill wheels ceased TO
revolve, production ceased and demand
fell of. The greatest industrial panic
the Nation has ever witnessed was in
auguraied. This bitter, malevoleni
attack upon Northern industries sx

EVEN IL David 8. Baker had received a
plurality of votes last year, which he did
not, the fact would not have entitled
him to the Office of Governor. 1t took,

was no more entitled to the seat than he
