M. Fitzpatrick, of Shiawassee, took the floor
and made an excellent speech, saying in
substances: after three years of democratic
rule and misrule, every day of which has
driven fresh nail into the coffin of the in
dustries and prosperity of this country, we
are about to place in nomination candidates
for-the presidency, and the gubernatorial
Office, and for members of congress, and
think that in the three years that have just
passed the people have learned some lessons
which they are anxious to manifest at the
polls in November. 1t is the people that
are about to have their say, as they have
been doing in the conventions up to the
present date, and they are going to solve
and have solved, whether it is Mckinley
Bill or Bill Mckinley, and they have SAID
that they will have both. They have de-
clared, as far as heard from, in favor Of
protection and prosperity. l was reading
the other day little statement of the state
Of the, financial barometer, the clearing
house statements. In 1892 II was oyer foul
billion dollars in favor of New York, and In
1895 1t was seven billion dollars in favor o.
London, as against the United States. Tha
Is what comes from the free raw materia
that our democratic friends have been adj
vocating, and now the people of the United
States are demanding protection. They ar,
generous, but three years of this giving t.
England is all they can stand. 1t is not 81
much the man from Ohio that the peopl,
are upholding as the principles that he bet
ter represents than any other living Ameri
can. There is no doubt of this election b,
a great majority unless the democrats coult
catch few weakened republicans will
their silver hook. 1t was the duty of re
, publicans to see that we had money enough
and the kind would take care of itself. N,
man upon receiving his money looks at 1t I,
see what kind 1t is. The trouble now wa
for man to find any when no looked in hi
, pocket. No matter whether man was al
artisan or professional man, he was mighty
lucky to find any money. The farmer hac
been told that he would get cheap blanket.
In return for his wool, but he could not buy
the blankpts with his wool Tho xyorir;cr
