RICHMOND, Ind, Oct. 3-Gen. Benja-
min Harrison passed through here this
afternoon en- route to New York. He was
met at Cambridge City by a committee
from Richmond, and consented to speak
when this city was reached. There was q
large crowd at the depot when the train
arrived, and Mr.. Harrison was greeted with
cheers on his appearance on the rear of
his car. He waited for the applause to
cease and then said:
Il have been reading in the newspapers
or the trains being held up in Indian Ter
Etory. but 1 scarcely expected that the
up by the people OF Wayne county, where
order is so good. do not know what can
th say, except that we have been going
a man or woman but has felt the value
OF MS or her property or wages shrinking.
hl,t bEe !, situation is improyng IN some pisces;
nave been reading an afternoon paper as
! came over. In IL L noticed dispatch
from Mexico to the effect that trade has
greatly awakened there in the expectation
OF horses, mules and cattle. Under this
new tariff bill they have taken the market
which belongs to Ohio. Indiana and ILL.,
ing. These people can bring goods in
cheaper than ever before, because there is
more Of market, and 1t is perfectly
natural for trade to be good in Canada
and Mexico.
What is there In the tariff bill to make
trade better than before? II more foreign
goods are brought into the United States,
does IL not necessarily follow that there
will be less market for our goods? If there
are more goods being brought in than be-
fore ii must follow that there will be less
market for our farmers, less employne IT
for our labor and less prosperity for OR
n.anufacturers Until we catch up with
that marsh light. which Mr. Wilson and
others call the markets of the world, we
will not improve.
Last year the poor man patched his
old shoes, this year ne bought new: he
was compelled to do so. Last year the
wife. but this year they. were beyond her
ingenuity. This necessity to buy has
caused the temporary Improvement.
THE great ships OF trade and manu-
facture are not putting out on the seas
Of markets. They are simply skirting
new bill to bring them out. The tendencies
are all the otner way. Since the adjourn
ment of Congress the great war on Ameri-
can Industries has ceased, but they have
issued the unlucky proclamation that they
viii begin again in December. The Demo-
Gratis are not satisfied with their own bill
Cleveland says 1t Is wretchedly bad, and
Wilson is dissatisfied with it. December
will bring the same unrest and the little
good that has resulted from temporary i'm
meet again they intend to patch 1T up"
When Mr.. Harrison finished there was a
rush to the car to shake his hand, but the
train pulled out Immediately and only a
few had the pleasure they sought Mr..
Harrison bowed right and left and waved
the crowd a smiling goodbye. He does
not expect to speak at any other point on
this trim
