Amsterdam, n. ". oct. 30.--Senator
ain spoke before an immense number
OF people IN this city tonight The
enthusiasm was remarkable for TINS
place aud his remarks were received
with vociferous applause,
He spoke about on the line he has
taken since he began his campaign
bu, paid especial attention to the tarld
He said In part;
"Thls city Is largely dependent upon
It's Industries for it's prosperity. Your
true interest lies not In temporary
or fictitious prosperity, but In pcrma-
nent prosperity You desire conditions
which are natural rather than those
which are forced Your worlSlngmen
wages rather than high wages fol-
lowed by periods OF business depres-
sion and no wages at all
DO not be deceived by those who
SYSTEMATICALLY profess to be your
friends, but are virtually wolves In

II Is not in the interest OF the whole
country. A reasonable, fair ana mod
crate tariff. one imposed for revenue
and not for prohibition, one which VIII
not stimulate over production is what
win subserye tho best interests OF eN-
erybody. Much depends on business
conditions. on the laws OF trade and
ON the laws of supply ana demand.
The whole question OF wages Is thls'
when men are looking FOR work from
one boss wages are low, but when Xix
bosses are looking for one workman,
wages are high. and that situation
largely comprehends and explains tue
labor problem. You must recolleci thai
great commercial panic Of 1913, wheh
wages disappeared. industries suspend

the while the country was enjoying me
blessings ur an eXorbitant tariff under
Republican protection. The great Car

the very heart OF Republican Pennsyi-
Vania and the Industry which was
most largely protected IN the summer
of 1892. while Mr.. Harrigun was prssl-
