NAh NV csNdpe sNs CONVICTION that
the decision of the cont II ,bls great
case Is traueht will i:nmeasurabe danger
70 the future welfare II the country, end
.nat 1t approaches The proportions Of a
NATIONAL calamity. feel 1t \ iuty to enter
my protest against H." jGrea; at,,lauso
and cheers.j
That it approaches the proportions of n
National calamity. that it is fraught with
unreasonable danger to the future OF the
couhtry-that is what your republican
Judge said--and In the presence of this
language, mat 1t approaches the proper
tons of Natiopal calamity, we are told
mat we must keep silent. And who SAYS
so Ihe men who ought to be paying their
taxes and supporting the government and
want the poor people Of the United States
TO do 1t for them. Not only that, but the
men who condemn that decision are not
honest enough to tell you that they oppose
our position because they do not want to
pay taxes. My friends, | have not hest
tatcd TO express my opinion of the man
VINO wants this government to protect him
ana does not want to pay his share to sup
port that government. / have said that the
man who wants the protection OF govern
ment and yet is not willing to pay his
share OF the taxes, does not deserve to live
In a government like this.
When you find man who is denouncing
the democratic party because OF that posi-
ton YOU find out whether that man Is pay
ing his share even of your local taxes, my
friends. Show me man who Is alarmed
for fear the supreme court is being at
tackled and I will show you a man who
belongs to that class OF citizens who have
their properly assessed for taxation in
less proportion to its value than the poor
man who has to pay his taxes on his home.

In this campaign democratic free trader
aud democratic tariff reformer like John
G. Carlisle can help elect a republican like
Mr. Mckinley, and when that is possible
in them. protectonists and tariff reformers
who believe In free silver can unite and
settle the money question and we will set
