Such Speech
The campaign in Shawassee county was
opened Tuesday afternoon by Hon. j. G.
Burrows at the Armory in this city. The
building was filled by large and intelligent
audience eager to hear the arguments and
the forcible statements Of the leading pro-
tectionist of Michigan.
Hon. WIN. Fitzpatrick presided and in in
PRODUCING the speaker gave good talk which
was frequently applauded. He said the
campaign just opening was of more than
ordinary interest and Importance. A stamp
of approval or disapproval must be placed on
the ruinous policy of the democratic party
the party of broken promises must be shown
that the people will not continue to be de-
ceived by them. The laboringman who
must now 60 with an empty stomach and
wear Cleveland badge on his trousers W iii
not again cast ballot for the party of ruin
and disaster. He introduced the speaker by
some reference to his work in congress and
his long, hard struggle against the Sugar
Trust bill under which the country must
suffer for many months yet.
Mr.. Burrows said it was a pleasure to talk
to the people now even more than formerly;
they were ready to hear and were daily be-
coming more anxious to vote and not only
to vote, but to vote for protection and pros
perity. The present congress must expire
by law in March and the question was do
the people want another just like it. In this
country of no Kings and Queens the people
could change their policy when they felt dis
posed. Occasionally mistakes were made
and the people wanted change. He did
not believe there was man in the audience
who did not want change now.
The democrats were now utterly destroy
ing the country and have been doing so since
the day they came into control. October,
1892 was the most prosperous month the
nation ever saw. On the very day the
people voted for change the foreign trade
was never SO great, a superb domestic trade,
grand reciprocity with many nations,
labor never so generally employed at
such splendid wages. Men in Pennsyl-
vania making 81 day voted for change.
Did they get it? And would they take one
now. $4,000 100000 of surplus earnings
were then in the banks, deposited by the
laboringmeD. This has changed also. One
of the cleanest men i'm the Presidential
chair the country ever knew. Here again
the change was comprehensive and complete.

ted by the change? The balance of trade
is against the United States for the first time
in many years; factories were closed all over
the country, the mines OF Michigan are
closed and have been since "the change
came. Farmers are selling their focks, the
price of wool never having been so low
Laborers have been obliged to abandon thei
homes and live In novels as do the free-trad,
workingmen of the old country, and today
1000, 900 honest laborers are walking up ant
down the streets pleading not for Chart,
but for work. Soup houses have been start
ed, supplied by charity, to feed men turned
out of employment by ''the change"
The democrats say the Mckinley Law
made the trouble and hard times. For tw,
years while the republican party admins

and closed on the other side of the Atlantic
New industries by the hundred started up
Beet sugar industry, pearl button and othe
factories started up all over the United
States. The Mckinley bill never closed {

The fear of the repeal stopped the wheels
as the party of change was found to have
been victorious. The foreigner can make

lican wages are paid can not be produced In
this country at the foreign sale price. The
