TO MINERS AND FARMERS.
Brtef Address ON the Benefits of the
Home Market.


After leaving Worthington lunch was
served on the train and before it was fin
tshed a stop was made at Bushrod a little
station in the mining region. Bushrod was
not on the schedule, but a crowd of about
1,b0O had gathered about the only building
In the town. the railroad station, and II
was the most wildly enthusiastic crowd
that had yet been met. General Harrison
left the lunch table to make a brief ad-
dress and was given an ovation on his ap-
pearance. He said, in part:
In this region you are engaged chiefly
In two pursuits-one the mining, of coal
and the other farming. 1t must be particu-
iarly obvious to men who are engaged II,
mining coal that 1t is greatly to their in
terest to keep the railroads running and
TO keep our great factories running This
fuel that you bring up with so much toll
and labor from the earth finds It's chief
market on the railroads to feed these Ioco-
motives and in our cities and towns to
feed the great furnaces in manufacturing
plants. It is perfectly plain then that any
policy that crippeS the railroads so that
they don't run half many trains as they
used to, and any policy that puts out fac
tory fires IS against your interests. You
will get better wages and more constant
employment when there is a large demand
Tor coal These present times nave been
made bad for you chiefly because our fac
tories have been shutting down and put
ting cut their fires and because the general
condition of business has affected rail-
road traffic that the great railroads are
not burning near as much coal as they used
to- How is this to be helped? 1t has been
cur theory that we should encourage mills
In this country The English mills do not
burn your coal. If you buy English proc
ucts and German products the men who
mine the coal that is used in making these
products are English and German miners
and by just so much you promote a
policy that tends to increase the amount
of goods that is brought into this country
from abroad, so much you are hurting
yourselves.
Now, as to the farmer. where is his best
market? Where is the great volume of
everything that he raises used? 1t is used
here in this country. Many of these men
: would perhaps say that there are Just as
many people and they cat just as much
bread. Not at all. When men are out of
work they do not live gloriously as
when they are at work. They may have,
thread but they don't have pies or duml,>
lines or sweet cakes. The amount of fioul.
and provisions consumed in the houses of
our workingmen depends upon whether
they are employed and getting good
wages

THREW AWAY A BRYAN BUTTON.
General Harrison Converts IA Resi-.
dent of West Indianapolis.

An incident illustrating the effectiveness
of General Harrisons speeches in this cam
paign is related by Joseph Held. living on
East Walnut street. Mr.. Held was present
in the crowd when General Harrison made
a fve-minute speech from the end OF a
train in West Indianapolis yesterday morn
ing At the conclusion of the speech
well-dressed man, apparently forty years
of age. standing near him, turned and said.
That man Harrison is an elegant talker
arguments are sound to the core. am done
with free silver and I'm going TO cast from
my coat a Bryan button and In November
put in my vote for Mckinley, which VIII
be my trst vote on the Republican side"
With that he jerked his Bryan button from
the lapel of his coat and threw IL as far
as he could, procaiming his conversion to
Republcanism and sound money.

The Ex-President's Speech.

When the applause had subsidized General
Harrison spoke as follows:
MY friends, l hoped to be relieved when

political campaigning; L hoped that others
might take up my share of the work which
for thirty years or more / had been accus-
toned to do in the State of Indiana But

AT EVANSVILLE.
Big Crowd, Long Parade and a No
table Speech.

The Evansville demonstration was the
biggest thing this end of the State has ever
known. When the men who organize
political procession are astounded at the
size OF it and find that their predictions
about it were altogether too small it is a.
peculiar state of things, to say the least.
The reception committee that met General
Harrison at Princeton remarked that the
indications were good for pretty large
turnout, and the managers We're counting
upon about 5000 men in line. The realiza-
tion came in procession with al least 5000
in line and crowds upon the streets that
can only be compared with those that
turned out at indianapolis last week to
view the railroad demonstration.
The train arrived here at o'clock and
the party found big crush of people at
the station, who We're sorely disappointed
when they learned that General Harrison
was not to leave the car until time for him
to review the parade. Dinner was served
in the car and General Harrison was able
to get q few minutes of rest. AT I:30 car
riages were in waiting and the party were
driven to the point where the procession
had formed. For nearly an hour General
Harrison's carriage led the march and the
vast crowds along the streets gave him a
Continuous ovation. When they arrived at
the courthouse the party left the carriages
and reviewed a part Of the parade from the
steps, They took up this position at $40.
and at 8 O'Clock, when it was necessary to
leave in order to address the crowd in
Evans Hail. the parade was still going by
without any signs of ending. 1t contained
delegations from a number of towns eighty
miles distant, and the crowds in town were
contributed from radius of this length. 1t
took the procession an hour and a half to
pass the courthouse, and it was going at
double quick. owing to the lateness of the
hour In it there were floats innumerable
it seemed, eight bands, hambeau clubs
wheelmens clubs. railroad clubs, cavalry
companies and about everything one could
think OF as appropriate to a procession,
even to q calliope.
While the parade was going on the hall
was packed to the doors, and only small
percentage of the people who surged about
it were able to get in. The Bryan man.
ayers took occasion to slip a crowd of
roughs into the gallery, and they sought to
annoy General Harrison by applauding and
yelling at the mention of the names of
Bryan and Altgeld. General Harrison
handled them effectively as he had sim
liar disturbers at Richmond, Va. He was
introduced by Mr.. c. A. Debruler and was
received with tremendous cheers by the
crowd that had been waiting until 9:25
O'Clock for him to
