to fully three thousand people in the court
house yard. His audience was composed
mostly of farmers, but a large number of
factory men and miners could be seen in

duced by Judge r. t. st. John. He paid
his respects to the tariff question for an
hour, clearly showing that the central idea
of a Republican tariff was to start new in
dustries and give an opportunity to find
employment. He then turned to the finan-
cial question. which he discussed for an
hour in a manner that showed he was
perfectly familiar with his subject. His
unique comparison and droll wit brought
out round after round of applause

mainly owing to their efforts that the
troubles were ended and no more injured
