COMPLEMENTARY TO LIND.
The Sleepy Eve Herald Speaks Highly of
his Speech.

his Speech. =.
The Herald of Saturday says: Hon.
John Llnd's speech last Thursday even
ing was in many respects one Of the best
logically, from a true Republican stand
point, ever delivered in the hall. AL
though lot prepared to give set speech
Mr.. Lind was equal to the occasion. Dur
ing the course OF his address he made
some points that heed emphasizing. In
his criticisms of popnlists, their doctrines
and demands, he had nothing but the
klndest words. He made the statement
that old party politicians must not cry
down or ridlcule these new questions
that are now before the people. 1t is the
duty of every man to calmly and dis
Pass1onately from an bipartisan stand
point discuss them for the purpose of
solving them. The peoples party had
just as wise, just as patriotic men in it's
party, and the republican party states
men must meet the arguments of the new
reformers honestly, courteously and fair
ly. Mr.. Lind took the ground that pop
ulist doctrine and demands were nothing
else than advanced repub,icanism. The
republican party being party of pro-
gress and reform since its infancy and
the only party that has ever grappled and
solved the great questions of moder
government, as party it could not ig-
more the present social and Industrial
questions now under discussion. The
speaker considered these demands in the
main right, but process of education
had to be instilled into the people be-
fore these theories could be put into
practice. Turning his attention to the
questions of the tariff Mr.. Lind said he
was In favor of ''trading jacknives at
home," or in other words he longed to
see the day when we could get along
without the aid of any foreign land,
America being strong enough and big
enough to make every article needed
right here in the United States. On the
financial question Mr.. Lind was quite 1T
home. During the progress of his dis
cussion of this troublesome issue he grew
both earnest and eloquent in his denun-
Citations of the evils ofcontractiono of cur
rency and the ideas of amonometalic ba-
sis. True republicanism did not only
mean protection to American industries
but an inherent right to legislate on fl
nahcial questions without the interven-
ton of foreign influence. The United
States has been leglslating on the tariff
to suit herself, and why not legislate to
suit herself without the aid of Europe on
everything of national character. This
country does not want to be tail to the
European gold bug kite of the Roths-
childs and other crooked nose Shylocks.
In this fight for free coinage of both gold
and silver Mr.. Lind said he was aware
that many of his party leaders were not
with him, but was glad to know that such
brainy statesmen as Tom Reed, Don
Cameron, John P. Jones and others were
of the same mind with him on the fnan-
cial question. The repeal Of the Sher-
man law was mentioned by the ex-con-
gresham as being in the interests of the
money power and the continual buying
of bonds as useless piece of folly. The
address throughout was listened to with
much interest and everybody was pleased.
