ton be said, under The Republican
system, taxes hsse been laid. not up
on basis az ariual necessities of
the Government. cor yet upon the
ability Of he people T. pay, but up
on their ability to consume a certain
amount OF the necessaries or even OF
the Injuries of life In other words
taxes have been laid upon the wants
nay even upon the backs of the peo-
pie to an extent not TO be measured
by the money paid into the Treasu-
~ of the Nation, but by a SUN rep
resented by four, or it may be five
times that sum, which has gone into
the pockets of a specially protected
class. Upon top of that system of
robbery of the great mass OF the
people. is another and the chiefest
indictment against the protection
/ policy, and that is its robbery of the
producing citizen Of one half his op
portunity to labor Stch policy
could not but ultimately ruin the
entire country. and realizing this,
the Democracy was found insisting
upon 3 change. Freer access to the
markets Of the world is what is de
manded. and ii is that to which the
Democratic party is pledged. 70 The
end that crushing weight may he
lifted from the shoulders of Ameri
can industry. Already American
carpet manufacturers are selling
their products in England side By
side with the products of British
looms, and that is but preliminary
instance and example of what is to
come when the enlighted policy of
the Democratic party has borne its
perfect fruit. Have no fears for the
home market There will he no
danger for that American skill
ingenuity and enterprise will he am
ply and abundsntly capable of meet
ing the foreigner here as well as
abroad, and with free raw materials
and free access to the ocean by
American shipping, manned by
American sailors, there will dawn
upon this country an era of prosper
ity the like of which has not before
been known.
A It this point in the speech it be
gan to rain heavily and Mr. Wilson
wanted to stop, but the crowd had
the necessary umbrella equipment
along and they cried out sge on,
letter rain; we want 10 hear you"
Bat it hogan to pour down more
iereely, and be made quick close
by earnestly asking his big audi
ence to consider whether they would
not go on with the work of reform
rather than return TO the evil condi
tions of the overthrowa system. He
was cheered vigorously at the cen
clusion of his remarks. Those cheers
were the answer.
The crowd did not disperse, as
the rain let up little and finally
ceased. Mr.. Brown introduced to
the audience John Marion, of Pitts
burg. Mr.. Marion is a young man
but living cyclopaedia of political
facts. He instilIs fine vein of hu
NOR into his talk also, and he was
listened to with attention. He is a
plain speaker on occasion, and at
one time he said: Il can tell YOU
when Mckinley lied. He lied when
he garhled Mr. Wilson's London
speech" His tribute to Mr.. Wilson
was a very pretty rhetorical burst
and was applluded. He said there
were 1000 articles named as being
protected in the Mckinley bill and
asked if labor was one of them. The
crowd as one voice yelled mo-
Mr.. Marion was followed by E. ID
Fulton, of Uniontown, and he by DR.
E. NJ, Turner, of this place. These
speeches were brief but effective
The immense crowd stayed till DR.
Turner said his last sentence and
Mr.. Brown announced that the
meeting for the afternoon was at an
end.
Then the bands played in various
parts of town. Special trains in
both directions, as well as many of
people of the county returning to
their homes in carriages, in wagons,
on horseback and on foot, soon de
pleted the crowd largely, but it
seemed that the town was full of
people yet when night came. At
any rate old Academy Hall was
crowded to the utmost at o'clock,
when a continuation of the Demo
cratic lovefeast was held. The
speakers were Mr.. Wilson, Mr. Nc
Graw and Attorney Cook Mexican.
Of Uniontown.
DR.. John A. Myers presided and
presented Mr., Wilson, who he ex-
planned, was always ready to have
something to say about the position
and policy of his party. Mr.. Will
sons speech on this occasion was
brief, but telling. He devoted some
of his time to Stephen B. Elkins, the
palace car electioneerer who was here
last week, and pointed out how he
and men like him were the identical
ones most benefited by Mckinley
ism.
Mr. McGraw, who is chairman of
the Congressional committee having
in charge the Democratic canvass
being made in this district, has i'm
pressed many an audience favorahly
but none more so than Saturday
evening. He presents fine appear
ance to begin with. His language
and manner are polished and his ar
gument incontrovertible He said
4 that there never was Hun nor a
Scandinavian imported into the
Northern part of the coal region Of
this state until Mr.. Elkins brought
them in himself Then he talked
about organization, and advised
strongly on this point, ending by
saying that he speaks advise1ly
when he says "they cant beat Will
son." Then there we're cheers,
cheers, cheers. He went further and
said, mo, they can't beat any Dem
ocrat in this district"
Mr. Mexican, who spoke here in
1892, made a strong speech. He
said the Democrats of Pennsylvania
and of the country have demand
to make of the Democrats of this
district that Mr. Wilson be returned
to Congress. He was eulogistic of
Mr.. Wilson and showed the great
work he had accomplished.
The meeting ended at 9:15, Mr..
Wilson going to the banquet which
was to be given in his honor by the
senior and law classes of the Univer-
city Hn loft tho bui ldipn with Will
