THE CORRECT IDEA.

The remarks of Garrett A. Hobart
in reply to the committee not him of
his nomination for vice-president were
clear and able summing up of the
situation. His speech showed him to
be man of breadth and ability, well
fitted for the high honor that has
been placed upon him. He further
showed that he had a clear conception
of what ails the country today, and
what should be done to recover our
old-time prosperity. He said:
l am firmly persuaded that what we need
most of all to remove the business paralysis
that affiicts this country is the restoration of
policy which, while affording ample revenue to
meet the expenses of the government will re-
open American workshops on full time and full
handed, with their operatives paid good wages
in honest dollars. And this can only come
under tariff which will hold the interests of
our own people paramount in our political and
commercial systems,
A better summing up in few words
could hardly be made. Let the re-
public do it's own work again; give en-
ployment to labor now idle, aud con-
tentment and confidence would re-
turn, and whatever reform there is
needed in our currency and banking
laws could be easily accomplished.
And the people will see this before
November.

by stating tariff duties should be
levied solely for the purpose of
revenue and limited to the needs of
the government. 1t embraces Gov.
Altgeld's anarchlstic screed denounc-
ing federal interference in local af-
fairs, which has reference to Cleve-
land calling out the troops in the riots
of 1894, and also denounces what it
calls government by injunction, by
which it says federal judges, in con-
tempt of laws of states and rights of
citizens become at once legislator,
Judge and eXecutioner. While not re-
ferring directly to the administration
they condemn it by declaring them
selves opposed to the issuing of bonds
in times of peace. On the whole it is
a most rabid screed, the carrying out
of which would bring ruin and dis
aster to our land, causing greater suf-
fering to our people than has yet been
experienced.

IN GREAT DEnAND.

A Chicago dispatch to Tuesday
nights Minneapolis Journal says:
Congressman McCleary of the second
Minnesota district, before this cam
maign is over, will be one of the best
advertised sound money Republicans
in the United States. Yesterday at
ternOon | called on M. j. Bowling,
secretary of the National Republican
League, at the auditorium headquar-
tiers. Bowling was opening his Sec
Ond lot of convention mail, and of the
forty letters before him nearly every
one-and they were from all parts of
the country-had to do with Nc
Cleary's speech. In every case the
speech was spoken of in the highest
terms, and orders were placed for
extra supplies of it. The national
league has already sent out on re-
quest CO., 600 copies of the speech, and
in one corner of Dowling's office is a
consignment Of 10000 copies which
came in last Saturday. The demand
is not confined to Republicans. Dow
ling told me that great many of
his letters asking for copies were
from sound money Democrats.
1t is high compliment to the
second district and to the state of
Minnesota that it has member Of
congress who stands in the lead of
the financial question.
