BY Hon, j. n. Camden and Hon VIM.
L. Wilson. Mr.. Camden spoke for about
thirty minutes on the legislation of the
last Congress, paying especial at
tsntiOn 20 the new tariff law
as compared with the Mckinley
BILL The most interesting part Of his
address was in reference 30 the tariff
on coal. He said the Senators mad never
had the opportunity OF voting on the
coal schedule alone, but he did not aJ-l
tach as much Importance 10 a tariff on,
coal as many Of his friends and other
coal men did lie said.
the superior quality OF Wess
Virgins coal would enable it TO COM
pete with other coal anywhere. de re-
ierred TO the fact that carEoes OF West
Virginia coal were shipped weekly 80
Cuba and Mexico.
Mr. Wilson was received with great
applause. He spoke about an hour, apd
bis speech was one OF the best be gas
yet made on the tariff question. Ho
showed that the high protective policy
Of the Republican party
INJURED THE LABoRER,
the farmer and even the producers
themselves. He showed the advantages
which would accrue 20 the masstS OF
~ h1
tariff brought about by the Democratic
bill de dweit at length on the advan-
tage OF free raw material, aud when he
explained his position with reference 90
coal and showed how free coal would
not irjure the miners, operators or any
one else, but that all would be beosf-
cial in the end, be was as heartily chser-
ed as at other portions OF his address by
the hundreds Of miners present.
A part Of his speech, which evoked
great applause, referred 20 Mr.. p kins,
who, he said, spoke Of him as having
bis hand in his ,E.kin'sl pocket
Now" said Mr.. Wilson, ~ have
my hand there it is aot 90 JaEeany of

Sti;ueuts. Cheers. / am nos repre-

.1 Speaking OF
THE TARIFF LAW.
Mr.. Wilson SAID: There are vet places
In the bill where jhe trali of the trust
has been seen. N0twithstanding the
combination To- the Senate Ia favor Of
the sugar and other trusts, we saved a
considerable part Of the House h.ll, and
even the Senators themselves have not
dared 90 ask for all that was iclaimed
under the Nckio'ey law Whec YOU go
now 90 bay clothing, food aud the ne
cessities OF life aud f0d your pound OF
beef buying more or them thar before.
Won know that s. part OF the burden OF
taxation has been removed. Ye bays
not only removed the burdens OF taxa
tion, imposing the highest tax on the
highest priced articles and vice versa,
but for the first tIme iu the
peaceful history Of the country we
have determined By federal law that in-
comes shall be taxed Hereafter men
must pay according 20 what they have.
and not according 10 what they must
consume.
'Tbese are the issues This is
