The speaker here referred to the con-
dillon Of the country In 1860. when the
Republican party came Into power,and
showed that the conditions Their were
similar TO those OF the present day, and
told OF how the Republican party had
brought about good times, even In the
.ace OF Il terrible war. which was car
ried on for four years.
Employment Means Prosperity.
The only way to have general pros
persty, said the senator, Is to have gem
eraI employment in the country. as
was the case under General Harrison's
administration. Then II you remember,
everything was prosperous and every
body was happy.
The laboring man has only one COM
modify ID sell. and that Is his labor.
II this Is bought and he receives hon
est wages In honest money for It, he
Is prosperous. and he can p~atruniza the
Storc-kecper, the shoemaker and AZ
ford TO pay more for his goods and
buy more OF them; thus the manucac-
turer. farmer. capitalist and all are
benefited.
The mar who tries 10 array one class
against the other Is no better than the
man who fired the first shot on Fort
Sumter. and should be howlcd down
by every patriotic American citizen.

attack all OF It, and every portion suf.

In speaking of the effects OF the las;
election. the speaker asked: My friends.
what happened the day after the cleo
ton OF Grover Cleveland? "a voice
1T snowed.") Yes, you arc right. but
we had worse than snow: We had Il
bitter frost. "a voice-"And we're not
thawed out yet.'-Laughter.) No. and
you won't be until the condition OF the
times are remcdied by the election OF
Major Mckinley. Continuing. he show
ed that confidence had fed and the
wheels Of Industry ceased to turn, and
When labor Is thrown out OF work. the
whole country comes to 4 stand still.
When cap!tat once becomes itmid. II
hides itself altogether. and the mo-
ney instead OF being invested In manu-
featuring establishments Is hid away In
banks or In vaults, wh.rc IL Is OF no
use or no benefit to any person. but the
owner. Such n condition exists to-day
and has since the election OF Grover
Cleveland four years ago. II IS not the
fanlt of a bad financial policy. but a
poor tariff pOlicy that has brought
about these state % affairs.
The speaker then went into a dis
cussio1 OF the money question and
knocked out the alleged arguments OF
the Bryanitss In grea; shape. He threw
light on the much talked OF crime OF
1878. and convinced his hearers In a few
words that there was no crime at all.
He defined money and it's uses ard
gave a most thorough explanation OF
the advantages OF the existing gold
standard. He illustrated the fac: that
gold. silver and pane" wer. equal In
purchasing power at the present time,
whereas II the standard was changed,
such u condition would not exist.
He showed how the free coinage OF
silver wouli effect the laboring man.
the farmer and the merchant, and told
tho benefits that would be derived by
thu mine owner only. He said that by
the election OF Mckinley the money
agitation would he forever settled, for
the Republican party would enact tariff
laws that would be sufficient 10 supply
means IL run the government. and In
stead OF gold going our OF the country.
It would be coming In to pay the wages
or American working men.
Th~ speaker concluded with n plea

and Captain Dovener. and said they
were both worthy OF being elected tn
the Offices for which, they have been

applauded and H. WAS frequently in
