Foreign Commerce" and spoke sub
stantially, as follows:
The United States during the past
four years, under the wise guidance of
a Republican administration, has made
an enviable record In the history of
the world ana is capable OF mighty
possibilities in the future. Let its eX-
allied purpose be not preyented. You
dou btless remember the political IS
sues discussed during the memorable
campaign os 1892; at that time our OPP
ponents were talking tariff reform and
tariff for revenue only, their special
hobby being free wool.
The Democratic party was successful
at the polls in '92, and not only elected
a Democratic president but "a Demo.
cratic house of representative and Sc
cured control Of the senate They en-
acted their pet measure Of tariff re-
form and tariff for revenue only, but
Mary's little lamb instead of continu-
ing to gambol across the green trotted
over to the slaughter house where it
lost it's head-about the same time the
Democratic party lost its head. Its
pelt found its way TO the tanners and
its wool to the warehouse OF the mer-
merchant where it was stored until a
market could be secured, and il re-
member correctly, at least a portion
OF its carcas was donated to some of
the Democratic free soup houses which
had just come into style.
Our merchandise trade balance since
1896 has reached the enormous sum OF
81, 800, 900 900 while that merchandise
balance of trade for l06 years previous
was only $500, 900, 600. What has made
it possible for the people OF the United
States to purchase millions upon mil.
lions Of the exchequer bills OF England,
the bonds OF Russia, Germany and Swe-
den? Because with this favorable
trade balance we have been able to
take these bonds without exporting
hardly dollar in gold and still having
very large credit in foreign countries
upon which TO draw in the future.
l believe it is usually agreed by Re-
publicans and Democrats that a large
balance of trade In our favor is condu-
Give to the commercial interests of the
United States, yet there are some ex-
ceptions. During the last campaign l
was handed circular by Democratic
nominee for congress which stated that
notwithstanding our favorable balance
of trade was 81 600,OO0,0OO during the
past three years yet we had only re-
ceived Sl50,000,000 ia gold and the bal
ance had gone to pay tribute to foreign
countrirs. That this meant impover-
ishment and not enrichment to the
American people. The United States
never has and never will pay tribute
to any nation on the face OF the globe.
We are today producing country and
must have market for the surplus.

felt in corresponding degree by all
the other industries, consequently
should be zealously guarded by our
Lawmakers. 1t is TO be deplored that
the last census showed so large per
cent. of decrease in the farm popula-
tion in the older settled portions OF the
state, and SO many of our young men
and women are leaving the farms and
flocking TO the city, there to become
competitors in an already over crowded
labor market. He said that there was
a general belief among farmers that
they were unjustly used by being COM
PEELED to pay more than their just por-
tion of the tax, that they were preyed
upon by the trusts and combines, that
the products of the farm were discrimin-
ated against and not given the protec-
tion which justice demands at the hands
OF our lawmakers, that the grain pro-
ducts OF the farm were handled by a
class Of spectators so that there was
no staple price fixed upon the amount
produced. He reviewed briefly the
work OF the legislature on the oleomar-
gerine law and commended the same.
He declared for law taxing all prop
erty upon the true cash value. All
the evils that exist or that beset the
farmer cannot be cured by legislation,
but with proper effort on the part OF
the farmer coupled with wise and just
Legislation by those in whom we have
placed our trust, the farmers would
continue to furnish in the future as
they have in the past the bone and
sinew and intelligence upon which the
nation may draw, and there will be an
increase of prosperity, happiness and
contentment all over our fair land.

INSULTED CHILDREN.
Man Named Dommes Taken in by
the Police.

To two young men, who gave their
names as Charles Bowring and James
Emery, is due the credit for the cap
ture of at least one of the men who
is alleged to have been insulting wo-
men and little girls. According to tbs.
statement of the young men, they wit
messed his indecent conduct in the
presence of two little girls at First.
West and First South streets, and he
was followed by them until an officer
was found and the man placed under
arrest. At the station the man gave
his name as William Dommes. and
claimed to be machinist from Cali
fCrnia.
At the station DOmmes declared that
he had committed no offense. and that
he had just arrived in the city yester-
day morning from California.
The description of Dommes TALES in
many respects with that of the vile
brute who has been insulting women
and attempting assault all over the
city since last summer. DOmmes. from
all appearances. is a man in good cir
cumstances. and when searched at the
police station over $50 in cash was
found on his person.
In police court yesterday he was ar
raigned on charge of obscene conduct.
but his hearing was postponed until
Saturday al p. m.
Attorney s. p. Armstrong. who rep
resented him. said that the man had
satisfied him that lie had only come
to the city yesterday and was in a
drunken condition when the alleged Of
