Thols who did not go to the Martins
Ferry Opera House on Saturday night
missed q splendid speech. Tho house
was tMtelplly decorated with stars and
stripes and music was furnished by q
brass band, Tho meeting was called to
order by Mayor Samuel Westwood, who
named j., o. Gray as chairman, Mr..
Gray introduced Hon. Lorenzo Danford,
who spoke for two hours aud made q
mastOrly speech. His references to pro-
lection, Bushnell for governor, Foraker
for senator and Mckinley for president
caused vociforous cheering, In fact tho
applause throughout the entire speech
was enthusiastic, Captain Danforl ex'

he urEed all to turn out on Tuesday.
He said Governor Campbell goss up

he renounced Judge King for attacking

give the Republicans 4 majority In tho
senate. Turn down Brice aud put in j..
Il. Foraker. You have this right next
tuesday. Brice legislates against your
Interests aud in the interests Of his
own. Shall Mr.. Brice be continued, or
will you send Gov. Foraker2 This is
the great question. Labor is employed
at reduced wages from 1892. | am proud
OF the two large tin mills IN this great
township OF Pease, the banner Repub.
lican township OF the county. Tho
Democrats said you haven't got tho ma-
terial and skill in this country 10 make
tin plate. and yet there arc some thirty
tin plants and they are turning out n
quantity Of tin equal, L not superior, to
any tin from across the Atlantic. Tho
Democrats had quite a spite against
Mckinley tin, and thoy mndo a savage
cut in tho duty on tin, and nm told
that with the increase IN the price Of
sheet 1t will be next IN impossible 10
continue Its manufacture. Tho cut Of
| almost so per cent has about crippled
the industry, aud 1t Is that greatly
interests tho people Of this vicinity.
You want friends in tho United
States Senate and men who will stand
at all times Tor protection. In 1860 tho
only manufacturing here was q machine
shop, and all Of this has grown up since
protection.
We had reduced two,thirds Of tho war
debt up to March, 1892, aud wO have
since been running short ut tho rate oil
half q million daily. Eckels says We
have been buying moro than wa are
selling aud this explains 1t. Wilson
did not do like Blaine or Mckinley
would have done in framing a tariff bill,
but he got down his books and read
this.
My predecessor told tho people that
the markets Of tho world would give
them better prices Tor wool, and the
farmer Is now getting from 10 10 |;
cents less than no did Ia 1892.
Iron, steel and somO other in1uStriel
are doing fairly we'll because tl.sy were
not much reduced. 1t is tho purpose Of
tho Democrats to tinker further with
the tariff. Tho Congress, which was
elected, has started up theso industries.
