Gov. Mckinley arose on the instant
that Gen. Harrison turned 20 intro
duce him, and the tumult Of applause
was the repetition of the first out
burst Mr.. Mckinley began slowly,
but soon warmed TO his audience and
for over an hour poured hot shot into
the democratic party. lie said:
Under the administration OF President Har-
rison the country prospored as IL never pros
pered before since More manufactures
made by American workingmcn more OF tho
products OF American farms were sent out 10
the markets OF the world during President
Harrison's administration than we're ever be-
fore sent away IN exchange Tor foreign gold or
have since been exported. Men found employ
ment without dinicuty and wages were good
Peace and prosperity were In the land. Since
that day in November. 1892. when President
Harrison and the republican Party were voted
out Of he administrative and executive ofiicoS
OF the national government change has oc-
Cured. Every one Of the conditions which
then existed has been altered aud the nation
has learned by bitter experience a lesson In the
practical application Of politics which the pco-
! pie have had an abundance OF time 20 ponder
for they have had not much else 20 Dc"
! As an evidence that the people are
not satisfied comparison was made
/ between the elections OF 1892 and those
OF most recent date instances being
] given OF republican gains, which Gov.
i Mckinley regarded rs indisputabie
proof that there was not only gem
eral regret that change OF adminis-
tration had been made, but also dis
satisfaction with the course OF democ-
racy in its disposal OF the great public
questions virtually affecting the work
shops, the farms and the fresidcs OF
America. The address was devoted
almost wholly to a discussion of the
tariff and especially of the effect OF
the democratic tariff law.
Springs "a Sugar Sensation.
A decided sensation was sprung by
the governor lie presented a phase
OF the law recently passed which was
"A startling surprise 20 the audience:
'.Tho sugar schedule OF the law schedule 70
Ia eject provides for a continuation OF the
treaty Of 1878 made with the King Of the iia-
waiian islands under which all sugar from
those islands was ana H., under the law OF
1894 admitted free. The language OF the
schedule quoted IS:
Provided. further that nothing herein con-
taincd shall be 10 construed as to Abrogate or
In any manner impair or affect the provisions
OF the treaty OF commercial reciprocity con-
cluded between the United states and the
king OF the said Islands on the 30th day OF jan
uary. 1875, or the provisions OF any act OF con-
gress heretofore passed for the execution OF
the same
.This provision was inserted 10 the law by
the senate. II gives 10 the great sugar trust
an advantage which has not heretofore boon

Hawaiian islands Is under the control
OF the sugar trust; that country + tho

democratic party took away from tho
sugar-raisers OF the United states tho
bounty OF tiOOJ0O00 year and bestowed a
bounty OF tBO000J0 d year on the sugar pro-
duccrs OF the Hawaiian islands, giving them
an advantage over not only the sugar pro-
ducors OF the United States, but Of the whole
world outside OF those Islands"
The sugar producer OF the Sandwich islands

all other sugars that 20 per cent. goes Into
the treasury OF the United State.
do not question the proprety OF main
tanning that treaty inviolate, But there we're
other treaties made by the govern
ment OF the United States twice as good.
When we made the tarin law ~ 1890 and took
away an the tarin from sugar. we gave 10 the
cane producers and the beet producers and tho
maplc-sugar producers bounty equivalent 20

Money l. All Good.
Democracy was criticised for increns-
/ ing the salaries Of certain officials al a
time when the revenues OF the coun-
try fell below the expenditures,andt the
money question was touched on, Gov.
