White River Junction. Vt. Aug 2s.-
Senator Charles W. Fairbanks of Indi-
ana delivered his first formal speech
of the campaign here this afternoon.
Large numbers of people from all parts
Of Winosyr county and from western
New Hampshire were present. The
demonstration was arranged psrticu-
iarly as a welcome from the people of
Windsor county to the Indiana sen
ator. whose father was born within its
limits
Senator Fairbanks address was. in
part, as follows:
The four years succeeding general
Harrison's defeat will not be soon for
gotten They stand I'm sharp contrast
with the years of Republican admin
istratiOn both before and after. They
we're four years of arrested develop
ment. of panic and distress without a
parallel in American history. Field,
factory and mine suffered alike. Vast
armies OF unemployed marched through
the country, hopelessly seeking for an
opportunity TO work regardless alike
Of either the number of hours or the
rate Of wages. To many from foreign
shores who have since then sought our
hospitality. and 10 many of the young
men OF our own country, who for the
first time VIII exercise the highest priv
seem an overdrawn picture. There are
many Of our countrymen who Will con-
nrm II with testimony gathered in their
OWL hard experience
In 1886 the American people resolved
TO return to Republican administration
and to Republican policies. We came
INTO power pledged to overthrow the
Democratic tariff law and to enact in
lieu OF IL genuine protective meas
ure. In due time we put upon the
statute books the Dingley law. Pros
perity returned and spread her bless
ings among all sections and all peo-
pies within the ample limits of the re-
public.
Three years ago our great and be-
loved leader in the contests of 1896
and 1900 fell at his post of duty. His
successor has since then administered
cur national affairs with conspicuous
ability He has been an earnest stu
dent OF the countrys needs He has
been conscientious aud untiring in the
discharge of his great responsibilities.
he has been inspired by but one pur-
pose, and that has been to do well the
work committed to his hands.
Judged by any test we may apply.
the administration of President RoOse-
Welt has been eminently satisfactory.
The last three years have been years
or exceptional prosperity.
Prosperity has not been confined
to limited areas, but has extended
throughout the country.
As in 1892 the Democratic party now
denounces protection as robbery of
the many to enhance the few. and
pledges itself to overthrow the Dingley
law, through a revision and reduction
OF the tariff. What viii be the result
Of such a policy? We will find a most
conclusive answer in the four years Of
the last Democratic administration.
Let the American people take the
Democratic platform and the record OF
the last Democratic administration in
one hand and the Republican platform
and the record of the Republican ad-
ruinistratton during the last three years
IN the other, and pronounce their pO-
tential Judgment
Senator Fairbanks, who returned to
the west this afternoon, expects to re-
turn to New England after his speech
at Kansas City, Sept. S. He will par
ticipate in the Maine campaign. He
also viii deliver an address at the an
nusi dinner Of the Home Market club
in Boston.
