PITTsBURG, Feb. ia monster Re-
publican mass meeting was held tonight
at which Galusha A. Grow, candidate
for congressman at large. and Gov.
Mckinley, of Ohio, were the principal
speakers. The immense hail was liter
ally packed with people long before the
hour announced for the meeting to
open.
b Candidate Grow was the first speaker,
and received rousing reception when
he appeared on the platform. He made
a strong speech, dealing principally
with the tariff. and in conclusion
scored President Cleveland's Ha-
waiian policy.
When Gov. Mckinley was announced
the vast audience arose as one man. and
the scene for five minutes or more is
beyond description.
After comparative quiet had been re-
stored the governor began his speech
by telling his hearers that on next
Tuesday they would have chance to
register their opinion of
THE WILSON BILL,
at time when their votes may have an
influence on the senate of the United
States, which at this moment haszth
bill under consideration.
This is the beginning of the congress
slonal campaign of 1894. AS you set the
pace, the rest of the country will follow.
what do we want-all of US? Pros
perity? How can we get it? The way
to begin TO get it is to defeat the party
which destroyed it. The way to re-
sumo prosperity is to resume power. and
tn at. take it, is what you intend the
Republican party shall begin to do here,
and now.
"The direst consequence, it was pre-
dicted, would follow the enactment of
the tariff law of 1890. which looked first
and always to the furtherance and pro-
lection of domestic industry.

than ever before in the history of our
country.
at was said that it would increase the
cost of the necessaries of life to the con-
sumner. 1t diminished the cost of most,
if not all, of them.
ut was said it would deprive US of our
foreign trade. 1t has increased our for

trade to proportions which had vever
been reached before.
ut was said it would diminish our
domestic trade. 1t never was so active
as during, the two years following the
passage of the law Uf 1899 and down to
the election of an administration
pledged to its repeal"
Gov. Mckinley then reviewed at
great length the bill of 1899, and made
comparisons between it and the Wilson
bill. He concluded:
'The only relief they have brought IS
relief from work; that is the kind of
reliet that the more we have of it the
worse off we are, and l know no better
name for it than free trade. Condition
and name are singularly appropriate
and expressive"
Mr.. Mckinley was interrupted every
few minutes duling his speech with
cheers and cries of "Our next presi-
dent" etc., and at its conclusion mad
rush was made for the platform, and he
was literally carried out of the hall.
