would give an order six months ahead2
He ought to be in an insane asylum.
How could anyone expect the Democratic
party to rule this country? For thirty
years they have been tearing IL down.
Could they be expected to build 1t? They
started over year ago on the tariff The
Ways and Means Committee did not begin
the work. There were four Republicans
and two Northern Democrats on that COM
mittee.
Wilson began It. What did he know
about 1t? To see how much horse sense
Professor Wilson has look at him going to
England as soon as the bill was passed.
He made speech and compelled every
"peace-loving" Englishman to shout
"Heari heart hear! ~
He had four other free traders with him,
and neither Of them ever lived in town
of over 1900 people. They brought forth
the Wilson bill and the Democrats voted
for 1t. 1t crippled every industry in this
country. It was full Of errors and blunders.
Then it went to the Finance Committee!
No, 1t did not. Dan" Voorhees, was on tho
committee, 1t went to him. He does not
know what tariff Is.
After following the bill in its progress
through Congress and then analyzing it
to show how ruinous 1t was to the indus
tries of the country Senator Frye COM
pared the conditions of labor in Europe
with its condition in this country under
the protective policy. He told how a
friend of his has liveried coachmen in
Germany for 40 cents a day. lie spoke of
women in Germany who were working
for 25 cents u day in corset factory. The
product of this labor is consigned to this
country. II an ad valorem duty
is paid the manufacturer can place
what value he pleases on the goods. All
consuls are not honest. for they some
times issue certificates in blanks. In all
the tariffs of European countries there are
about 1000 articles named and but ten of
them are ad valorem duties.
Is the Democratic party going to get the
country out OF trouble? Mr.. Bayard has
said that his party has Just begun its
work. Mr.. Cleveland says the same; School
master Wilson says the war has just
commenced. Mills OF Texas says that he
has Just scratched the citadel. and that
bye and bye he will enter it. They will
II you working men let them.
Every Republican in the city can vote
the Republican ticket with good clean con-
science. Your candidate for Congress is
good man. He is friend of the people, and
friend of the workingman. You are going
to elect Legislature which will elect a
United States senator. That Senate for many
years, while 1t was Republican, has been the
bulwark of defence between a Democratic
House and the American people, VIII you
help make 1t so again? There is no better
senator and none with more influence than
In1a -. d..
The Democratic workngmen are inter-
ested with the Republican unknown in
this matter. Let him vote for himself. his
wife, his neghbor, his friends. Let them
roll up majoritlcs such as Maine and YER
mont rolled up and these threats to carry
on the war against American labor will no
longer be heard in this blessed republic.
In response to loud calls Jonathan S.
Willis spoke briefly Senator Higgins re-
sponded to loud calls in a short forcible
speech. which was loudly applauded.
