An Interesting Address by Mr.. Hugh g.
Miller, of NOrfolk


There was a largely attended meeting
OF the Sound-Money Club. No 2, held at
its hall, Laurel and Cary streets. last
evening. and Mr.. Hugh @. Miller. of Nor
folk, Va, was the speaker OF the even
ing.
Mr.. Miller spoke I'm Richmond once
before during this canvass at the Acad-
envy OF Music, and was heartily received
then, the audience insisting on his re-
turn to the stage and having another
speech frcm him when he had finished
his talk
Mr.. Miller said, among other forclble
and eloquent utterdnces last night that
he was very glad To have the opportunity
OF speaking 10 his fellow-citizens of Rich
mOnd, in reply TO the incorrect report Of
his speech at the Academy OF Music sew
eral weeks ago, which was published In
Bryante newspapers of Richmond and
Norfolk. He was heard with close atten-
ton. and literally applauded at frequent
intervals during his remarks. which SEEM

hearers
Mr.. Miller defended President Cleveland
from tho late VcnOmOus attacks that have
been made upon him for his action in the
matter OF the Chicago riots and in the
bond issues.
lie denornced the Chicago platform for
its various planks, especially those OF
arraignn ent of the Supreme Court OF the
United States. The tariff question was
discussed by him at some length, and he
said ON this subject, among other things.
that he was constrained 10 believe that
tLe Democratic policy OF free trade had
nroven TO be "A disastrous one TO American
Industries and labor. ~ sounded right
enough as a theory. said he, but was very
different in practice. ,
And we have seen all Of our repre-
sentatives In Congress voting for free
trade or low tariff. for every other section
OF the country except his own district.

Democratic free-tradc truckers, when
Congress had assembled. packing their
little grips and waiting upon their repre-
sentatiVss. and pleading that while they
were good free-trade Democrats, and al
ways voted the ticket straight. they must
have little protection for their pota-
toes and other trucks or they would be
ruined forever.
So II Was with the coal dealer. the iron
dealer. the lumber dealer. and the pro-
moters of all OF our other Industries all
over the broad land.
The speaker then entered into DIS
cussion of the financial question, ana re-

At the high mass at Sacred-Heart

from ST. Matthew xxi. lJ-2L After
describing the situation of the Jewish
people at the time referred to- and the
views of the factions into which they
were divided, he took up the answer OF
our Lord TO the cunningy devised qucs-
tion of the Pharisecs, Render unto Cae-
sar the things that are Caesars and unto
God the things that are Gods and
said that it applied as well TO our times
as 10 theirs. Our duty 90 Goa was plain

His law chcerfuly and exactly; pray fer

give Him public worship. especially by
