custom of the TnrIm.

lHuldna{)oNS, sept. 2(-IhC 1Orm1ll-
ties of opening the Republican cam
paign i'll Indiana were gone through
with here to-day. Upon Gov. Nc
Kinley of Ohio devolved the duty of
making the declaration Of war upon
the intrenched Democracy of Hoosier-
dom, and he discharged il as cour-
ageously and detiantly as he was wont
in other days to carry battles into
Southern fields. The occasion was Civ
en- added consequence by shc presence
Of ex-President Harrison, who, in a
ten minute speech of introduction, pre-
sented Ohio's governor to the thou
sands that packed Tomlinson hall to
the very walls.
Ex-Prcsident Harrison said in part:
"Our Democratic friends have
passed tariff bill that is approved
so far as l can learn-by six Demo
cratic senator's and by nobody else.
Mr.. Cleveland has repudiated it, and
has declared that it involves 'perfdy
and dishonor;;' that it was so shame
full in it's character and i'll the int1u-
ences that pfN( it that he would
not even put hiSN Ato<iR All of the
leading Democratie4 p the coun,
try have condemned iebbth of the
old stalwart variety and of the mug.
Wump variety. The Democratic chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee has condemned it and the entire
democratic majority in the house OF
representatives has done the same II
is a great misfortune. 1t is a misfor-
tune that the Democratic party was
not able to evolve tariff bill that the
party would accept as a settlement of
the tariff question. But it is not &C.
cepted as a settlement. In the very
nature Of things bill thus passed
and thus characterized cannot be a
settlement, and already we have the
proclamation from Mr.. Cleveland and
from Mir. Wilson that this is only the
beginning of the crusade against
American industries; that the war is
to go on. So this country is to be
held in a state of suspense upon this
question 1t can be ended in just ono
way, and that is by overwhelming
Republican victories in November.
When New York gives Levi T. Morton
10000 majority (applause) and In
diana her state ticket %, 600 {applause)
and Illinois and those states that have
Wavered, fall again into line and tho
next congress is Republican there will
be assurance that we have found the
end Of this disastrous condition.
Gov. Mckinley on arising was given
round of cheers, prolonged and loud.
He opened his speech with an eulo-
CYSTIC reference to the administration
of President Harrison, under which
the country prospered before and
since. More manufactures made by
American worAingmen, more Of the
products of American farms We're sent
out to the markets of the world dur
ing President Harrisons adnlinistra-
ton than were ever before sent away
in exchange for foreign gold, or have
since been exported. Men found en-
ployment without difficulty, wages
were good, and peace and prosperity
We're in the land.
AS an evidence that the people are
not satisfied, comparison was made
between the election returns of 1892
and those Of the most recent date.
Instances were given of Republican
gains, which Gov. Mckinley regarded
as lndlsputable proof that there was
not only a general regret that change
of administration had been made, but
also dissatisfaction with the course
of Democracy in it's disposal of the
great public questions vitality affect
ing the workshops, the farms and the
firesides OF America. The address
was devoted almost wholly to a dis
cussion of the tariff, especially Of the
effect of the Democratic tariff law.
decided sensation was sprung by
the governor. He presented phase
Of the law recently passed which was
a startling surprise to the audience.
The sugar schedule of the law
schedule e. in effect provides for
continuation of the treaty of 1875,
the king of the Hawaiian
islands, Under which all sugar from
those islands was, and is, under the
law of 1894, admitted free. The Ian
guage of the schedule quoted is: PRO
vided further, that nothing herein
contained shall be so construed as to
abrogate or in any manner impair
or affect the provisions Of the treaty of
commercial reciprocity concluded be-
tween the United States and the king
Of said islands on the 3Oth day of Jan
uary, 1875, or the provisions of an act
Of congress heretofore passed for the
extension of the same''
This provision was inserted in the
law by the senate. 1t gives the great
sugar trust, said Gov. Mckinley, an
advantage which has not heretofore
been suspected. The sugar production
of the Hawaiian islands is under the
control of the sugar trust; that coun-
try is the field of it's primary opera
tions. The Democratic party took away
from the sugar raisers of the United
States the bounty of $1O,O0O,OOO year
and bestowed bounty of $6,OO0,0OO a
year OH the sugar producers Of the
Hawaiian islands, giving them an ad-
vantage over not only the sugar pro-
ducer Of the United States, but Of the
whole world outside of those islands.
