Mr.. Gudger's Speech.
In accepting the nomination, Mr..
Gudger, after expressing his thanks,
said in part:
1.-THE two great political parties will
go before the country on the tar1fI
issue and Imperialism. The Demo
cratic party will contend for a tari1l
for all the demands of this Govern
ment. economically and wisely ad-
ministered, the effects of which is to
destroy trusts, and monopolies that
are fast sapping the life blood of this
nation. A reasonable tariff schedule
that will sustain the present standard
of wages, and at the same time re-
duce the price of living. this will be a
Democratic demand. Upon the con-
trary the Republican will demand a
high tariff that fosters monopolieS,
that increases the number of million
aires and makes combinations possible.
Their subtle and specious cry will be
protection to the American laborer,
and yet they have filled the machine
shops with foreign cheap labor where
possible; they legislate to close the
doors in the interests of the manu-
facturer, and yet leave them wide open
to the pauper laborer who comes here
to compete with our own American
laborer.
1.-TWO important questions affecting
this district are better mail facilities
and national aid to build public roads.
They are of paramount Importance,
and have demanded closest considera-
ton. 1t has been my aim while in
Congress to give to the people of this
section daily mails delivered at then
homes. thereby equalizing the adVant-
ages of the man in the country with
that of the man in the city, and an
honest endeayor to push the measure
for national aid to build better roads
