of government, to coerce it. And the
| disorders that eliminated in that at
tempted coercion may, I believe, be logi-
cally attributed to the causes precisely
that led to the Mckinley bill and that
led to its abuses. 1t is the same princi-
pie; 1t is the demand to use public
power for private end, and that prin-
ciple, once conceived, it seems to me
that your government is gone, because
you turn the whole people into set of
contending claimants, where the man
with the loudest voice and the longest
arm and the greediest foretinger, will
get more than any one else. Applause.
CLEVELAND ANSWERED. THE CALL.
We'll, gentlemen, again they have the
country standing aghast. The mills
stopped; travel stopped; transportation
impeded-all in violation of law-State
officials standing back from their duty,
others looking on; and then every eye in
the United States-yes, no eyes more
certainly than those of the men who
had voted against thenl-turned to the
true man vino stood at the head of the
nation, and begged him to save them
from the anarchy that Republican
policies had sought to create. Applause
and cheers.l He answered the call. He
stepped forward, and where is the man
who will stand to argue that the nation
ought not to be grateful to-day that
anarchy was throttled in its first step by
the strong, Democratic hand of Grover
Cleveland. Applause and cheers.
Well, gentlemen, the Sherman bill
has been repealed. There no longer is
n ,,nroho,a of fan mn ,,,ontI,Ixt oF
silver, and we are left to see what the
stimulating effect will be. With the
supply OF gold, with the silver all
owned by the United States, affording
our people an abundant currency for
all their needs, and by balancing the
two metals we can use them both to
gether to reasonable and just extent;
so that any man who owns dollar of
silver may have it turned to gold, or any
man who owns the dollar note may
have it turned to either gold or silver.
For such to-day is the condition OF
things in the United States; and it is so
because you have Democratic Presi-
dent and Democratic Congress in
power.
FEELING THE GOOD EFFECTS.
have spoken of the measures of relief.
do not propose to discuss the details
of the present Tariff bill, because it is
only step in the right direction. AL
ready-and | think surprisingly soon
the business is feeling and exhibiting
improvement Already the manufac-
turer sees that he will have something
more to supply than the home market
of the United States. Applause.l The
poor man will feel that he may have
two blankets where he formerly he had
one. The sanitary effect of the use of
woolens, which men recognize in every
part of the world, the people of the
United States will recognize when they
have the uses of woolens in clothing
for children and for all human beings,
and their comfort will be increased
The American farmer is to have de-
mand for his woods that he never had
before and the manufacturer an oppor,
tunity for free raw materials never had
before. And, depend upon it, you will
never see the day when the American
people will depart from having free
wool for their manufactures and for
their wear.
THE SENATORIAL CABAL.
don't pause now to discuss the un-
happy cabal which existed in the United
States Senate and impeded the action of
the President in carrying the just
promises made by the party before the
election. But the bill had been passed,
and it is measure that shows to the
country the tehor, the drift, the object,
the principle under which the Demo-
cratic party, if continued in power, in
~ 20 talo f,,p
tions; and that principle, my friends, is
this: That the legislative power be-
longs to the whole country; it is only to
be used for the whole country, and that
no man however clever, and no set of
men however rich, have right to ask
that that power shall be used for their
especial benefit. Applausel.
WHY AGRICULTURE HAS SUFFERED.
Agriculture in this country has suf-
fered and is depressed to great degree;
and | cannot help saving to you that
think it is owing to the deprivation Of
the American producers-both the agri-
cultural and manufacturing producer--
of II benefit that our forefathers thought
they had firmly implanted and secured
TO them by the constitution. One of the
causes which is alleged for the sepa-
ration of the colonies from the British
rule was that the King had cut off our
trade with foreign powers. You will
find it in the Declaration of Independ
ence. As soon as our fathers had gained
their independence, and as soon as they
came to frame government, they de-
termined that they would secure forever
to this people that which the British King

prescribed this rule, and there it stands
that Congress cannot lay duty upon
EXPORTS; that if you made anything, ii
you produced anything--thc bale OF
cotton, the bushel of wheat, any piece
Of merchandise-you would have the
right to take it abroad, free of tax, aid
sell it where it would bring you the
most money. They intended, moreover,
that there should be an equal oppor-
tunity given to all. They said that
throughout the great union there should |
be no such thing as preference given
to no part of the county over another;
that the duties, the taxes in the United |
States should never tend TO favoritism |
in choosing one section or part of the |
country over another.
What did all that mean? Ports of ex-
port aud ports of import. They said |
there should be no tax upon exports |
and that you should not prefer one port
to the other. And what was the result? |
That the American farmer ana tae
American producer, without any tax at
all could carry his products abroad and
sell it. Fellow-citizens this was great
principle of freedom. For ii II man can.

he has, he had almost as well be without

and cannot sell them, they will soon eat
him out OF the house and home; ii ho |
