SENATOR HARRIS:

Senator w. A. Harris spoke in the park last
Tuesday afternoon, to only fair audience. 1t is
to be regretted the audience was no larger, for
his was one of the finest speeches ever delivered
in this city. He gave history of the Union
Pacific railroad case telling many things here
tofore unknown by our people. The Senator
made good impression on his hearers, and he
has more friends here to-day than he had be-
fore he came to Garrett.
The Republican claquers imagine that be-
cause there was not big crowd in town, they
are going to have walk over in November.
They stood about the street making remarks
which they thought were funny. John Henri
man, the machine candidate for commissioner,
wore one of those beautiful CD smiles of his,
and occasionally he was heard to remark: "He
he! Pm jist as good as elected now!'
They seem to have forgotten the time when
Rev. J. D Botkin spoke to little handful of
people in the park. They would have laughed
at the idea of electing him to congress, but he
is now our congressman at-large.
There will be other meetings in Garrett, and
they will be better attended than was the meet
ing last Tuesday.

saying. He has never 'miXed up" i'll any of
the bank or other local squabbles that have
caused dissensions in the county, and he is a
strong candidate.
We can truthfuly say that our ticket is not
made up of oAice-seekers, and some of our
nominees were placed upon the ticket without
consent or without being consulted about the
matter. Taken altogether, no stronger or bet
ter ticket was ever placed before the voters Of
the county. Now, let every citizen who is op-
posed to the plans and schemes of the Repub-
lican bosses, ringsters and tricksters give this
ticket hearty support, and every man OH the

AFTERNOON.

country were comparatively free from mortgage.
Then the farmers were making money. Then
the door of opportunity was open to any young
man who was sober, Industrious and worthy, to
gain foothold in the business world. But to-
day the door is closed and our young men are
going to Mexico, Honduras, South America
and other countries to seek their fortune. The
truth is that there is no line of business to-day,
except oaning money on real estate security,
that offers a safe investment for capital with
any assurance of fair return of fair profit,
unless the individual is possessed of sufficient
amount of me ms to be boss among tine monop-
olies aud trusts.
"Our Republican gold-standard friends claim
that we are in the midst of wave of pros
perity, and they attribute it to the Dingley
bill. l stand here to assert without fear Of sue
cessful contradiction that the Dingley bill never
protected the muscle of any man. 1t was not
intended to protect labor. 1t was not intended
to protect agriculture. 1t was intended to &C.
complish simply one object, and that was to re-
imburse the monopolies and trusts for the un-
limited Doodle furnished to carry the election in
1896. This was the price received by Marcus
A. Hanna for his treachery in turning the Re-
publican party over to the money power of the
nation.
"Comparing the price of the stock of thirty
five leading Trusts of the United States, in
April last, with the price at which they sold
the next day after Mckinley signed the Ding
ley bill, we find that thes- trusts raked in
profit of $3.50 900 900, and in some way, when
the final settlement is to be made, the common
PEG, lie will have to foot the bills. There new

"We are told that we cannot maintain free
