Mr.. Rosing left the Eighth ward
meeting followed by the ringing echoes
of three times three cheers for the
next governor of Minnesota" He en-
tered the Fourth ward meeting to

Miller, responded to a call for speech
after Mr.. Rosing had concluded In the
Fourth.
Mr.. Rosings speeches were bath
short, pithy, convincing, to the polnt
and ringing in every sentence with the
truth and candor of the speaker. He
discussed briefly both state and ma
tional questions, and in closing paid
handsome tribute to the Democratic
administration of st. PauPs municipal
affairs, and the Democratic county
ticket nominated Sept. 16.
Mr.. Rosing arraigned the national
Republican party for it's failure to keep
its promises to the people, and Tor the
system of high protective tariff which
has made the coal, sugar, steel and
kindred trusts possible, and which mas
shut off Minnesota and other Northern
states from the natural market Tor
their manufactures.

He said the Republican party poses

develop the trade with the Philippines,
which last year amounted to a total
OF 100000, while 300 miles north of
St Paul and Minneapolis they drew an
imaginary line, shutting out from the
producers and manufacturers Of Min

Kane Scores Opposition. !
To Thomas R. Kane was accorded the
honors of the early evening. His address
was pregnant with truths and home
thrusts at the Republican administration;
a scathing exposure of the trusts and the
the Republican party. He said:
The people are beginning to think.
Blind partisanship has been relegated to
the past, and they are beginning to study
present condition of things. 1t is the eve
of the awakening that must come, and
which, when reached, will sweep from the
very earth that which has been slowly
throttling the American people for dec
ade or more.
Democracy claims the high tariff is the
cause. Even the Republicans agree on
this point, but capital has so enslaved it's
leaders that they refuse to act.
No better example of the fostering care
which the Republican high tariff gives can
the future of 100000 hard coal miners and
the comfort Of every working man and
citizen in the United States. Just think
of it-150, 900 miners, the annual income
of each less than $3.50, and fattening
corporation laying. back in its ease: re-
fusing to even listen to their plea for
chance to live.
And what of the thousands Of poor this
winter-how will they fare? Even the
government is powerless to interfere The
tariff l tell you, is responsible. The peo-
pie are awakening to the fact and they
will act.
