ty Secretary of State Dobson will also
fill speaking appointments until cleo
ton.
1t is expected that both Gov. Shaw
and Secretary Dobson will refer espe.
cially to the statements made to them
by members of the Fifty first Iowa in
regard to the Philippine war. There
are several democrats among the Off
GERS and men who are prominent local
politicians, and all of them are quoted
as favoring strong measures on the part
of the United States in the Philippines.
AS the principal argument made by the
democrats IN the Iowa campaign has
been against the administration Is course
in the Philippines the return of the
Fifty first does not give them much en-
couragement.
1t is announced that the regiment
will reach Iowa November 6, and after
a reception at Council Bluffs special
trains will take the men to their homes
and it is believed all will be at home to
vote. No opposition can be offered to
their voting on the ground that they
are not registered, for under the Iowa
law they will be permitted to register
on election day.
Gov. Shaw's Address.
At Hiteman Gov. Shaw spoke in part
as follows:
The recognized leader of the free sill.
yer forces and the great chieftain of the
democratic party recently made a
number of speeches in this state. In
many, and perhaps all, of them he pro-
pounded this interrogatory, and de-
clared he would like to take it for the
text of his speech: "Why should a
farmer be republican," This raises a
very interesting question, and one
worth tarrying moment to discuss.
Suppose we compare the effect of re-
publican and democratic administra
! tons on farm Industries.
During Mr.. Cleveland's first admin.
stration the aggregate value of farm
animals in the United States, as shown
| by the statistical abstract published an.
nually by the government, decreased
$59,OO0,OOO. This was through no lack
of integrity on the part OF President
Cleveland or of his party, neither was
there adverse legislation. Mr.. Cleve.
land believed in the doctrine of free
trade, and, being student of theory
rather than an observer of facts, recon-
mended revision of the revenue laws
and the enactment OF a tariff schedule
designed to yield revenue, but intended
to afford no protection whatever. The
bill, after much debate, passed the
house, but failed to pass the senate;
and the senate, being republican
passed what Was known as the '.senate
substitute designed both to yield
revenue and afford protection. Never
theless, the effect of threatened evil
stagnated business, threw thousands
out OF employment, and spoiled the
farmers market to an extent resulting
in loss to him in the aggregate value
OF farm animals OF $59,00O,000. Now
note the difference in influence. OF
this loss $53 100000 was regained dur
ing the four following years under
President Harrison and the Mckinley
bill. During President Cleveland's
second administration both houses OF
congress and the president were in the
hands of the democratic party for the
first time in thirty-tWo years, and the
threatened legislation, so thoroughly
believed in by the democratic party
was enacted. Men had grown from
unconscious childhood to middle years
without ever having experienced a
period under free trade legislation
The German bill was passed, and in
four years the value of farm animals
as shown by the same non-partisan au
thority, published under the same
supervisors and 10y themselves, fell of
1874 100000. This was more than the
| farmers could easily endure. and
