IN 1874 we find the Republican party resist
ing Dill that reduces the tariff %. 70 per cent.
to an average duty OF 36 per cent. and using
every means to retain the excessive duties Of
the mckinley tariff. The agricultural classes
are the great consumers of imported
gooGs, and the pathway Of the Re
publican party is strewn with the
wrecks Of broken promises to the
farmers. They have been deceived by
Ialr promises, while their substance has been
devoured by the ravening wolves of high pro
lection. The object of republican tariff tax

the capitalist engaged in manufacturing. IL

home market for our home people. the
Mckinley tariff has excluded millions Of dol

ana Just in proportion as others have been
crowded out our own goods have been shut
in, and we find millions of bushels OF wheat
being fed to hogs which, under freer tariff
would have found profitable market abroad.

CONFIDENCE IN CLEVELAND.
Mr., President the Democratic party has
confidence in the administra tion Of Presi-
dent Cleveland. The people Of the south ad-
mlre him for his integrity and his ability.
They differ with him on the question OF the
free coinage Of silver but they respect the
honesty OF his convictions in this and his
courageous devotion to duty in all things
They honor him for that exalted patriotism
which, in the discharge Of the responsible du-
ties OF his great Office rises above the preiu-
dtces of section and the clamors of party
which seeks the welfare of the people and the
best interests of the whole country.
