Correspondence New Mexican.
White Oaks, Oct. IS, l894.-New Mex
cos Democratic standard bearer, Hon.
Antonio Joseph, spoke to a White Oaks
audience that completely filled Bonnel's
hall last night. Mr.. Jones Taliaferro, the
chairman of the Democratic central COM
mittee, called the meeting to order. 1t
was organized BY the election of Mr..
Sydney Wharton as chairman.
There were great many Populists
present and they greeted the salient
points of the speakers arguments with
as much enthusiasm as the most ardent
Democrat.
Mr. Joseph's speech made strong i'm
preston upon those present and con
WINGED the wavering ones that it is to
their interest to vote the straight Demo
cratic ticket.
NIB. JOsEpH's SPEECH
was listened to with rapt attention and
the manner in which he ripped Catron
up the back was greatly enjoyed. In
part, Mr.. Joseph said: 81 have always
held that public office is public trust,
contrary to the Republican idea that
public Office is private snap. During
my campaign trip have found the ter
ritory enveloped in flood of enthusiasm
for Democracy, statehood and free coin
age.
81 congratulate the people of the
United States upon the success of the
Dem ocratic ticket in 1892. While many
of us disagree with Mr.. Cleveland on the
financial question, yet we are in accord
with him upon the fundamental principle
of a tariff for revenue only. l am EN-.
phatically In favor of the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at
THE RATIO OF 16 TO l.
I believe that the United States govern
ment should be more aggressive ON the
silver question. The Republican theory
about foreign countries dumping their
silver on our shores is nonsense. In the
European countries the ratio is Is to l,
while our contention is for 16 to l.
"The Democrats believe, and rightly,
that raw materials placed upon the free
list will open the manufactures closed
under the so-called protection policy of
the Republicans, increase the demand for
labor and consequently increase wages"
REPUBLICAN THEORIES.
Mr.. Joseph showed the utter fallacy of
the Republican policy and severely
scored Carnegie and his book wherein the
millionaire protectionist attempted to
prove that the laborer is logically the
partner of the manufacturer and that
protection to one meant protection to
the other. After the passage of the in,
famous Mckinley act Carnegie was the
first manufacturer to reduce wages.
1.-THE system of the Republican party
said Mr.. Joseph, sis injurious and detri
mental to the interests of the govern
ment.
"Under the Mckinley act the United
States paid $48,O00,O00 to sugar ra1sers
Five hundred and seventy-eight sugar
planters own what is called
THE SUGAR DISTRICT
| in Louisiana and these men received $11,
100000 from the government for raising
their sugar. The sugar industry is calle'
an infant industry, but it has nevertheless
been in existence for 100 years. Thes
sugar raisers are now naturally in favo
of the Republicans and protection"
| WOOL
as raw material has been placed on tn
free list. This is one of the most import
ant products of New Mexico. We hav
more than 65,O0O,OOO acres of public do
main and therefore this territory is rap
idly becoming the great sheep section O
the United States. The Republican
claim that free wool is injurious to NeV
Mexico. In 1890 wool was worth NOR
than it has been at any time since tn
passage of the Mckinley bill. Up to 1s9
it was q ute common to see wool buyer
bidding high prices for the wool that wa
offered for sale. But nothing of that sol
has occurred since the Mckinley act bt
came law. Immediately after its pass
age the price of raw material began t
fall and has been falling ever since,
"The high protective tariff of the RI
publicans prohibited the importation c
foreign wool into the United States. Fol
eign wool is essentially necessary to mi
with our wool. I have visited the
LARGE WOODEN FACTORIES
of the east and am thoroughly convince
that raw material free of duty is advar
tageous to the whole United States, an
that within the next SIXTY days the pric
of wool will advance from 6 to 10 cent
per pound. It has already advance
from to cents per pound since til
Dem ocratic tariff bill became law. TIL
passage of this bill has given stimuli
to the wool industry and the manufa,
turers of wooden goods are greatly il
creasing their orders.
"The policy of the Democratic party j
Equal rights to all and special privilege
to none,' while the Republicans policy i
Special rights to some and equal righ
to none
"Not having visited White Oaks sine
1884 it ia meet that l. should give an a
count of my stewardship"
He then briefly recountsd the mar
bills he had introduced and had passed
the interests of his constituents. F
