TEXT OF THE SPEECH.

During the first year of this admin
istration the value of our exports ex-
ceeded the exports OF the preceding
year, or the last year of the last adj
n~linisration, In the enormous sum of
$93, 900 1913, and yet the new tariff bill,
known as the Dingley law was not over
six months old. Truly, that was a mar
Vicious record, seldom If ever, surpassed
in our history. For instance, in the
month of January, 1893, our exports
amounted to sos, 489, ASS, as against
the sum OF 1913, 951, 1893 for January,
1897, showing IN increase of $14, 537,5 72
In q single month in favor of the pres
ent administration.
While, on the other hand, our i'm
ports for January, 1897, amounted to
ISL 1854 ,01S, as against the sum Of $780,
SC2, 900, for January, 1898, thus indi-
eating a decrease in imports In favor
o. this administration of more than a
half million dollars. The excess Of ex-
ports over imports for January, 1898,
being S57, $50, 546. This is a wonderful
record and proved to the world that
the wise legislation of the present ad-
minisration Is already bearing fruit.

The Independent was started in 1889
after the assessment had been made so
that there was no levy Oh it that year.
10 1892 Knowles had the county print
ing and the warrant in payment of the
first quarters bill was attached by a
mean republican deputy treasurer
named Grimshaw, for taxes due and
delinquent for the year 1890. After that
Knowles had the county printing two
or three years, but he always trans
feired his claims to beat the taxes. An
other scheme was TO carry a chattel
mortgage OF the plant which was held
to be a prior lien to taxes. Thus 1t will
be seen that Knowles never paid taxes
but one year and that under compul-
sion. He shamelessly boasts of having
beaten the county as he does of having
accepted brides from The railroads In
the shape of passes and cash.

Facts Which Democrats will Find Diff

(From the Pioneer-Times Oct. 16.)

(From the Pioneer-Times, Oct. 49,
Hon. Webster Davis was given a re-
ception in Lead last night such as no
other speaker has ever received in the
town. His speech IL the Miners Union
opera house was the grandest thing
ever listened to in this part Of the
state, and the effect was as magic. His
logic is impervious, his eloquence sub
lime. He reaches heights in which he
seems to lose his very personality, so
thoroughly does he become wrapped
w in his discussion. His speech was a
succession of climaXes, whose intensi-
ty was like the breakers of the ocean,
laundering against the strand. He
holds his audience in a trance-like
State, and his hearers strain them
selves to gather every %utterance. His
humor is rich and chaste, his pathos
OF the most touching nature. He in
fact keeps his audience completely In
his grasp, and stirs it at will. 1t is
Lot likely that such a speech will be
listened to in this part of the country
for years to come. He stirs up no re-
sentiment among those Of opposing po-
litical views, and among his warmest
admirers are many who have always
held political opinions radically differ
ent from his own. The republican cam
paign committee is to be compliment

able a a for the grand effort of the

packed; the balcony and gallery were
filled, and the people were crowding In
the halls and corridors, standing In the
doors and passages, willing to submit
OF almost any kind of personal dis
comfort to hear the speech. Mr.. Davis
invited those who were in doubt q ask
him any questions they might conceive
and his invitation was embraced by
several, although he disposed Of all OF
them with no effort. He disposed OF
them In a manner that was not offens-
