THE TARIFF HIS THEME.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 26.-The formal
tiles Of opening the Republican CAM
paign in Indiana were gone through
with here during the day. Upon Gov
ernor Mckinley Of Ohio devolved the
duty Of making the declaration of war
upon the intrenched Democracy of
Hoosierdom, and he discharged it as
courageously and defantly as he was
wont in other days to carry battles into
Southern fields. The occasion was given
added consequence by the presence OF
ex-President Harrison, who, in TO-
minute speech Of introduction, presented
Ohio's governor to the thousands that
packed Tomlinson's hall to the walls.
A large crowd of enthusiasts it was
that faced the two famous leaders of
the Republican party, compressed and
therefore complaining, but intent and
respectful, and most cordially respon-
sive.
Comp1imented Harrison.
Gov. McKinly opened with eulogistic
| reference to the administration of Presi-
dent Harrison, under which the country
| had prospered as it had never prospered
before OF since More manufactures
made by American workingmen; more
of the products of American farms were
sent out to the world during President
Harrison's administration than were
ever before sent away in exchange for
foreign gold, Or have since been ex-
ported. Men found employment with
?ut difficulty and wages were good.
Peace and prosperity were in the land.
Since that day in November, 1892, when
President Harrison and the Republican
party were voted out of the administra-
tive and executive offices of the national
government, change has occurred.
Every one Of the conditions then exist
ing has been altered and the nation has
learned by bitter experience a lesson
in the
Practical Application of Politics,
which the people have had an abun-
dance Of time to ponder, for they have
not had much else to do. AS an evi-
dence that the people are not satisfied,
comparison was made between the
most recent GATE, instances being given
of Republican gains which Governor
Mckinley said was indisputable proof
that there was not only a general regret
that a change Of administration had
been made, but also dissatisfaction
with the course of Democracy in its dis
posal of the public questions vitality
affecting the workshops, the farms and
the firesides Of America.
The address was devoted almost
wholly to discussion of the tariff, espe-
} cially of the effect of the Democratic
! tariff law.
A decided sensation was sprung by
, the governor. He presented phase OF
: the law recently passed which was a
startling surprise to the audience.
The sugar schedule of the law (Sched-
: ule E) in effect, provides for the con-
tinuation Of the treaty negotiated with
e the king Of the Hawaiian islands, under
!. which all sugar was and under the
e law of 1894 is admitted free. The
language Of the schedule qnoted is as
3 follows: provided nothing herein
+ contained shall be SO construed as tc
r abrogate or in any manner impair the
l. treaty of commercial reciprocity con
!, = cluded between the United States and
the king of the said islands on Jan. 80
n n 1876, or the provisions of any act Of
r congress heretofore passed for the ex
p p ecution of the same"
t The Sugar Trusts Advantage.
II This provision was inserted in the
IL law by the renate. 1t gives to the grea
e sugar trust, said Governor Mckinley
Z, an advantage which has not heretofore
W been suspected. The sugar production
