Addresses n Large Meeting at North
Sid Republican Club.

1t was too cold to hold the meeting for
Mr.. Henry out of doors last night at the
North-side Republican Club headquarters,
as was contemplated. consequently all that
were about the grounds could not get into
the club rooms to hear the speech. but
every bit Of space was filled and all who
got in remained interested listeners until
the close at $50. Vice President Gus Boyd
presided and the Bald-headed Club SANG
three numbers. Mr.. Henry spoke over an
hour, in which time he clearly set forth
the issues of the campaign. He said that
the questions before the people were those
of the home, and the question was what
can be done to bring back the prosperity
of 1892. The Democratic party was only
known TO this generation as a promise
maker until March 4. 1893. Since that time
1T has tried its hand at running the gov
eminent, and as the result President
Cleveland described the business prostra-
ton which had suddenly overtaken the
country In nearly the same words that
President Buchanan used in 1851. Now the
Democrats are saying that business has
Pittsburg mills. but he did not go into
them to learn that wages had been re-
duced from 20 to 30 per cent.
In a pleasing manner he sketched Mr..
Bynum's changes on the money question:.

Mr.. Bynum has also said that putting a
4G-per-cent. duty on sugar was making it
cheaper while the taking of the duty off
OF wool made wool dearer and clothing
cheaper. Just how dearer wool could
make a suit of American clothing % per
cent. cheaper was a puzzle. But If wool
is cheaper by 1212 cents a pound and there
are four pounds in a suit the cheapness
would amount TO 80 cents. If Ii was made
cheaper beyond that ii was at the cost Of
labor.
Mr.. Henry gave a vivid description of
the methods employed to get. the present
tariff law which no one will own as his.
He showed the effect of the present law
on reciprocity. closing markets in other
countries to the farmer and other Ameri-
can producers. He closed by saying that
the work of the Republican party is to
stop the free-trade raid upon American
wages and production and restore the
prosperity of 1892 in 1869.
