SPEECH BY REED.
The Maine Man Discusses the Finan-
ciaI Question.

LIMERICK, Me, Sept. S.-Hon. Thomas
B. Reed, Herbert NJ. Heath, of Augusta
Me-. and Frank S. Black, the Republican
nominee for Governor OF New York spoke
before crowd of fully $500 people at the
Republican ratification here to-day. Previ-
Gus to the speaking there were several flag
raisings. Mr.. Reed was introduced amid
great applause. He said, in substance:
IF there is any place in this world where
the wicked cease from troubling and the
weary are at rest it is not in the politics
of the United States. I neysr yet saw a
campaign when / begTldged the time spent
in discussion as much this
mo shepherd will read a book on sheep
husbandry when a wolf has broken into
the fold until the wolf has been expelled.
! believe in party lines. They gave sta
hility TO the government. During this cam
paign it is ones duty to break party lines,
yet there is no reason why man should
not return to his party later The Demo-
crat who comes into our ranks won't find
an angelic company, for all Republicans
are not yet capable of joining the church
i often hear it said, we ought TO dis
cuss the tariff 1 would rather do so at
the present time, but we cannot until the
great financial question is disposed Of"
The speaker then discussed in a general
way the tariff and the result of INSULT
cient revenue. Continuing, he said: over
twenty years ago the mills We're all giving
employment TO the laDOr1ng people. We
thought that we could keep on in our pros
perity, and had Il change. We have
the change now. They tell us that the
remedy is free coinage of silver. We ask
them What is your reason for wanting it?'
Have they given US any reason for want
ing it? No; they lose themselves in the
intricacies of the currency question. The
object of the currency is TO facilitate the
exchange of that which we have for that
which we want. The coin that does that
does your work, and no coin can do more
than that.
II object to assisting the Western miner to
our own disadvantage. The Western peo-
pie deserve to be well treated and have
silver that is to-day worth one-half less
than what 1t was when we bought it, They
tell Us of the crime of 1873: how silver
secretly demone tiZed when the people had
free access to the Congressional Globe. They
speak of its being done secretly in such
a manner that ii reminds me of stealing
upon a person during the darkness with
a stiletto. No one paid any attention to
this at the time. They call it up to-day
because they want to use it. In 1877 we
voted buy a certain amount of silver
would increase the value of the silver If
the purchase of a small amount of silver
has sent the prices down what will be the
result when silver is purchased in large
quantities?
What do We as laboring people. want?
Every laboring man, whether he works
with his hands with his brain. wants
a chance to sell what he produces. The
different labor organizations are a neccs-
sary outgrowth of the factory system and
are what the laboring man needs"

and the law regarding breaches of the
peace. After passing resolutions in favor
of a number of amendments to the factory

a better silver ticket than Bryan and Sew

satisfied that a mistake was made in NOM
mating Sewall. 1t will be admitted on every
side that the PopuliSt party is entitled to

his brother, j. w. Oates, of Santa Rosa,
fer number of days past, returned to his
home in Montgomery on to-days Southern
overland train. He was in Congress four
teen years and knows both Bryan and Nc

night. THE gold Den ocratS and Repub
