The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1900-10-02

These principles Of ours" said Judge
Young, 'are the things that are taught
In the public schools. How, can we buy
some twenty million dollar islands from
Spain when Spain hadn't title to
give us? To begin with, we bought
them In bad faith with the people with
whom we were friends and allies. We
have broken that faith; we have vio-
lated that friendship. Really, which
party presents q solution Of this ques-
tion? The Democratic party, friends,
Is the only party (applause).
To-day and for a week past Hanna
has been on his knees to the coal trust,
begging of these magnates to settle the
Pennsylvania strike, in order to save
Mckinley from certain defeat at the
polls applause, and cries Of: He can't
do it,
Mr.. Young invited the Bryan and
Stevenson club to the big meeting in
Massillon next Friday evening. He was
vigorously applauded. He closed with
the plea that Stark county Democrats
organize more thoroughly.
Chairman Sterling announced that
General I. r. Sherwood, Of Toledo,
would be here to speak next Friday
| night. He also announced that the club
would go to Akron on the 18th to see
Bryan.
"Come over to Youngstown on the
15th," interrupted Mayor Moore, land
there you'll see meeting!" (Applause).
There were loud shouts for Morris
| when Chairman Sterling concluded his
announcement, and finally Mr.. Morris
| arose. He received genuine ovation,
N 4, III a,
| platform and bowed to the big au-
dience. He maintained silence for a
| minute. and when quiet had been re-
| stored, he thanked the audience, briefly.
Then he said:
II am not here to make a speech.
came here to get better acquainted with
the Canton Democracy. AS your candi-
date for congress, well know that
| am in the minority. I need every vote
that can be mustered in the district.
do not ask thousand majority in
| Stark, as did one speaker here to-
| night, but If this county will give Bryan
a majority over Mckinley I believe 1
| will be elected"
AS Chairman Sterling was attempting
| to close the meeting, the audience
sPIED EX-MAYoR RICE
sitting lazily back in the amen corner.
There were prolonged calls for Rice,
and finally that gentleman appeared
and made an informal talk for ten min
| utes. Mr.. Rice said:
"They say the Mahoning valley mills
have opened. want to say to you that
we, all Of us-every good Democrat
rejoices over every good thing that
a. ur.s..
to tell the Republican party, also, to be-
ware. They are running in the face Of
awful facts. The mills Of Youngstown
have started; but the workers of the
Mahoning valley are reduced from $6.25
to $4.75. They are today only 25 cents
higher than the lowest scale the country
ever knew for pudding. Yes, friends,
the mills of the Mahoning valley are
running once more, but they are run
ming at reduction.
Just one more thought: It Is arguing
on false premise to say that because
a people needs foreign market for its
products, that people is prosperous.
Give that people the opportunity to pur-
chase the product of the country. Eng
land has wrestled for months past with
| an awful famine in India. But during
all that famine, ship after ship arrived
| in Liverpool harbor, loaded with wheat
ltgrown on the soil of India. And be 1t
| said to England's lasting shame, the
very ships that brought her wheat from
starving India, left Liverpool for India
| loaded down with aims and supplies,
| contributed by America and the chris /.
tian nations Of the world, to the suf-
| ferers from the famine. And so, the
| American farmer and the American
manufacturer will not need a foreign
market, If you will give the laborer, the
farmer, the wage Garner, more money
with which to supply his wants. They
will buy the products Of America today
If they are allowed sufficient income.
Pay the Pennsylvania miner, the
Youngstown iron worker, enough to live
comfortably on, and there will no longer
be any danger Of a surplus product
from the factory or from the farm"
The meeting adjourned at 9:45 Two
hundred people came up Immediately to
shake hands with Hon. J. H. Morris.
