Now. said Mr.. Biggs we've been
| through a siege and period OF suffering
and the Republican party is using this
| throughout our country to overthrow
Democratic control, while the Republican
party has alone been responsible for
bringing about this condition OF things.
/ Why what better condition of things,
what beuter atmosphere would you want
TO live in than that which prevailed from
| March, 1885, to March, 1889, the four
bright years OF Cleveland and Democratic
rule before Mckinleyism was heard of
Now there can never be such a
thing as free trade there must always be
enough revenue to pay the officers and to
run the machinery of this government.
There never was greater piece of mis-.
information than that the foreigner
pays the tax for that's what tariff is
but the consumer always pays it Under
the Mckinley act there was such a con
dition of supply and demand that could
only be righted by our people going
through the ordeal we have gone through
and We are now on solid Democratic
basis Only little more than a month
ago the Mckinley bill was repealed and
ever since that the wheels Of machinery
all over this country have been starting
up, the groups of idle men are decreas
ing, new homes are now springing III
aud, mark my word, il Democracy wins
at the next election, we will enjoy thl
most prosperous times you and evel
