| Speaking at Evansv44Ie at Night.
| EVANSVILLE, Ind, Oct. 81. - General
! Harrison arrived at Evansville at o clock
| last evening, having made ton speeches
during the day Everywhere there were
great crowds and everywhere great interest
was manifested. In his speech at Vincpn-
nes, referring to Mr. Bryan's declaration
| that we can have bimctallism with free
coinage, he said:
81 say we cannot This government Is
great and strong government, butt cam
not fix the value Of everything If you
want to know what anything is worth you
must go to the market to find out Tho
| statutes may declare that Il bushcl of oats
Is of tho same value as n bushcl of wheat,
! but that does not make 1t so.
| I'VE must stamp out with the votes of
| million Of our people in Indiana and in
! the adjoining states this herGsy that is
pressed upon us now. What we want is
to return to tho condition Of things wo
had when we had u revenue bill that paid
the expenses Of the government, and did
| not put us to tho necessity of selling
| bonds to pay thom We shall find pros
| pcrity just where we lost it.
| In his speech at Spencer General Harrl-
! son said:
For the last quarter Of n century the
| Democrats in Indiana huvo been talking
| in favor of chcapncSs. Their orators were
| telling tho farmers everywhcr, that they
ought to have cheaper coats and cheaper
| implements, and that the protective tariff
| which the Republicans We're imposing on
thasp ~ DE. "a n
them. They told the laboring man that
he ought to have cheaper coat and
cheaper shoes and cheaper coffee and
cheaper sugar.
"Their cry seemed to be cheapness, and
| remember in those times | was lifting
my voice, sometimes availingly and some
times unavaiingly, in Indiana in defense
Of this doctrine that things might be too
cheap; that Cheapness was not the highest
good; that n fair price was the right thing,
II fair price for the farmers wheat and
fair price for the coat. When anything is
so cheap that the man who raises it or
makes it does not get a fair living out of
IL it is too cheap, and nobody ought to
want that kind of thing
"You will notice an entire change in
the Democratic campaign this year. They
have abandoned the campaign Of cheap
ness, and now they are telling you that
you want high priced things. You will
notice that difference in the plan of cam
paigu they are making this year. They
won their first campaign in 1899. They
elected Democratic president and elected
a Democratic congress, 50 that for two
years they had their own sweet will in
legislation. They struck down the pro-
tectivc tariff and brought n time Of cheap
things.
These farmers who till this rich soil
here in Morgan county have got what tho
Democrats promised them in ono respect.
They hayc the cheapest coats they ever
bought, and they pad for them with tho
cheapest wheat they over sold. The work
inrincn in these factories have bought u
cheap cont, and they have paid for it in
reduced wages, and sometimes have worn
out that cheap coat in idlencsS, because
there was nothing for them to do. Now,
/ want you to bear in mind that these
people who uro trying to entlcc Ropub-
Leans and trying to held Democrats arc
the very people that did that thing"
Tho demonstration Of tho day was at
Princeton. Leaving tho train General
Harrison was escorted to the fair grounds,
where IN immense crowd awaited him.
From the station to tho fair grounds
tho streets were filed with people, who
chnored enthusiastically as tho distin-
guished visitor passed them. A stand had
been erected in front of the grand stand
facing tho race track The grand stand
and the space around the speaker stand
were tillrd with people In his Princeton
speech ho aau
"IEe thrNgo convention declares that
II Gcuounroa federal interference with the
affrirs Of the states. 1t was meant to rc-
bulle Nj. Cleveland for interfering in the
Chicago riot 70 open way for the United
States mail and for commerce betwren
the states. 1t was meant to declare that
it was 10 part Of the business of tho ma
tional government to do that. When Alr.
Bryan indOrses that platform, us he has
said he does every syllable Of it, ho declares
that if in any of our great states a riot
should break out and mail trains should
he stopped and interstate commerce stop
ped he will not feel that he has tho right
OF power as president 10 open way for
th6 mails OF the Uni,cd States and for its
interstate conliIioit6.'
At I 80 D. III. the Evansville domonstra-
ton was begun by parade, which was
