THROUGH NORTHERN INDIANA.
The Great Crowds from Ft. Wayne t.
Lafayette.

Lafayette.
There is a beautiful stretch of wooded
country between Fort Wayne and Ply
mouth, and the ride yesterday morning was
made doubly enjoyable by the gentle
warmth and clear skies Of the autumn day.
The special train bearing General Harri-
sons party left Fort Wayne at o'clock a
number OF prominent men from the north
ern part of the State accompanying the
party out of Fort Wayne. Among those
from that city were Chairman Everett, of
the Allen county Republican central COM
mittee. c. L. Higgins and ]. B. White. jr.,
a candidate for State Senator. Maj George
w. Steele. Charles Wilson, of the Lafayette
Courier, Hiram S. Beggs, chairman of the
Kosciusko county committee. Chairman
Young of the Pierceton committee. State
committeeman R. B. Oglesby. S. w. B.
Hess and II. G. Thaycr of Plymouth were
among the additions to the party.
Arcola is the first station out of Fort
Wayne on the route chosen. but no stop
was made, although considerable number
of people were at the station, one old sol
dier waving a big flag, almost too big for
him to handle, as the train flashed by. Be-
fore leaving Fort Wayne a telegram had
been received from Alexander McNagny,
father of the Democratic Congressman from
the Twelfth district asking that the train
stop for few minutes at .Larwell Mr..
McNagny, sr., is a Republican, seventy-five
years of age, and on account of his infirm-
ity was unable to attend the meeting at
Fort Wayne, so he requested that the train
stop at his home in order that he might
have a view of the ex-President. The
schedule was changed to admit few min
utes at Larwell.
AT COLUMBIA CITY.
At Columbia City General Harrison found
an audience of 1,So0 people at the station,
which is quhe a distance from the town.
There was much enthusiasm. Said General
Harrison after being introduced by Judge
j. S. Collins:
MY -citizens-If you will allow me,

have an extract or two that want you to
hear. / shall read ii without mentioning
the name of the man who wrote 1t, and
see if any of you can guess who Ii was.
You ask my opinion on the tariff. 1 an
swer that am in favor of a judicious ex-
animation and revision of it, and so far as
the tariff before us embraces the design OF
fostering, protecting and preserving within
ourselves the means of national defense and
independence, particularly In state OF
war, / would advocate and support 1t.
and independence. That same Providence
has blessed us with the means OF national
independence and national defense. If we
omit or refuse the gifts which God has ex-
tended to us, we deserve not the acontlnu.
alton of His blessing. He has filed our
iron and copper, and given us climate
and soil for the growing of hemp and wool.
These being the grand materials or our ma
tional defense, they ought to have extend
ed to them adequate and fair protection.

may be placed upon fair competition with
those hose, OF Europe and that % we may nave sane

Where has the American farmer mar
cotton, he has neither a foreign or a
home market. Does not this clearly prove
| or abroad that there is too much labor
employed in agriculture, and that the chan
nels of labor should be multiplied? Com
Draw from agriculture the superabundant

manufacturers, thereby creating, nome

riculture in the United States 100000 men,
a mIT home ma market % for more @ @ breadstuffs than
all Europe now furnishes us. In short, we

| stead of feeding the paupers and laborers

do you think that was written by g
| Democrat or Republican? Gentlemen, have
read to you the words of Andrew jackson
| OF Tennessee, written in 1894. He thought
that wool was an element in our defense In
| war. The foolish old soldier thought We
| could not muster, and equip, and keep ar
mics in the field without woolen shirts
| and socks, and blouses and blankets. HI
thought that wool was as much essentia
guns, and he advocated a protective duty
| upon it that would enable our farmers tS
| develop the sheep industry and supply ths
| home market. But, my Democratic friends
| you have come under a new leadership
| You now asked to follow men who tel
| you that wool should go on the free list
and who have put it there. You are nov
| asked to follow men who tell you tha
the foreign markets are the most importan
| to us, and that We must throw down ou
markets while throwing away our own.
Andrew Jackson thought our home mar
| ket was the best, and that ii should be de
veoped. He believed that it would be de
| veloped by fostering manufacturers. by TAX
| ing men away from agriculture and putting
| them into shops, where they would ceas,
to produce wheat and would become con
| sumers of the products of the farm. A!
| you old Democrats will remember, the OLE
| Democratic docrtine on the subject OF tn
| tariff was that we were to have moderate
| projections; that we were to give owi
| home workmen and makers of stuff tn
| benefit OF tariff at least sufficient Il
| pay the annual expenses of the government
| Now the question of Importance that i
| submitted to you for decision, my Demo
| cratic friends, is whether you will follow
| the teachings or those men whom yo'
| recognize as the very founders, the high
| est names on the roll of your party's grea
| men, or these modern schoolmasters wh.
| would lead you to refuse even to give on
| home manufacturers and laborers the ben
eft of such duties as will pay the expense
| of the government.
