of all the legislation enacted by the
&spuslscar party the most important was
Introduced by our gallant leader. william

Thas act took effect six years ago this
moatb. on the eve Of a grsa; Campaign.

people in the EUte1 States more inter

You want your harbor improved, canals
bElit. and most particularly he Sscar.-
qua canal. Not only Is the policy Of the
Democrats against public improvements.
but as consequence OF that policy they
never would have money enough in the
treasury 10 DO anything with.
There are few leading Issues iE every
campaign. Taria has bsen an important
question before and Is so this year. 1
firniy believe that had 1; not been for the
disturbance OF our Industrial system times
would not be so i4afg as they are today.
NO sooner was a free trade Democrats

before. and every man who fears the elec-
ton OF Democrat this November is trim
ming his sails to so through the coming
breeze. THIS Investigation Of the sena te
Into wages paid In this country proved that
under the Mckinley blu wages increased.
Our Democrats friends tell Us the iaboser
sets no benefit from protection. Statistics
show the contrary 10 be true. The elasa-
eton az tho common laborers Is most tn
portant as directly affecting the welfare
OF the nation. for they form the bulk OF
fhe population. There IL no country
where a man With a family and no means
ran have such prospects OF securing n
competence. Many within the sound OF
my voice have torn asunder the bonds OF
ksnship and friendship and have come here
on the prospect OF enjoying a freedom
ard Advantages they could not look for in
sheir native land.
Mckinley had increased our trade with
oaher lands. Under she Mckinley law dur
anr the hrst year tho balance of trade in
cur favor was tz12. 90. 900. Instead of clos

An Opposition Party.
The Democratic party - naturally an
opposition party. II has kicked for so long
that II is now a chronic GROWER. There
are n great many members of the party
for whom / have the greatest respect.
they are now supporting the Republican
uche,. tApplause.p When that party was
suddenly placed in power all manner OF
disagreemen's sprung up. They have
been nghting like cats and dogs ever
since. and fhc country has suffered I adj
ust that ~ present We have not y really
cree trade law. but Ne have one that tends
er that direction. While the measure was
under discussion In congress the leaders
