The first speaker OF the evening was
Lieut. Gov. Utter, he being introduced
to the eager crowd by Judge Henry
Palmer.
Among the most pointed passages of his
address were the following:
Law can give TO the man who saves
and 10 the one who is improvident an
equal start. and that is as far as law can
go-it can't make man equal in results
But when you find people comfortable
and prosperous as those In this state are
there is something which explains IL,
something to be said for the party which
has made such conditions possible. IL you
people earn a dollar today. IL is necessary
that that dollar should have the same
value tomorrow Il has today. that II shall
have an equal value In all parts OF the
world. And the dollar has those qualities
as result OF the work to that end by
the Republican party during the last few
years. When you have a party I'm power
which is opposed to the principles repre-
sented by the Republican party the dol
lar will no longer be the dollar OF today.
Judge Parker supported the candidate OF
the cheap dollar four years ago and eight
years ago, and there has never been a
statement from him in opposition to the
views he supported At the two last cam
paignus."
II have been much pleased this fall to
see the large number OF people assembled
TO consider public questions one OF tile
things every American citizen should re-
member Is that while he has a privilege
he has responsibility, which he exer-
cises not for himself alone. Therefore. IL
is our duty 10 meet and talk over the
things which make for the welfare of the
people. We are the people and we are the
state OF Rhode Island. and the state OF
Rhode Island Is in very comfortable
condition. A gentleman who spoke at 81.
IsoulS calleu attention 10 the fact that
while in 1850 we had manufacturing prop
erty valued at only $1,000, 900. we have to-
day property valued at over $500 900 900.
Do you know what that means? IL means.
for one thing. that small as we are I'm
acres, we lead the country In the manu-
facture Of tewelry We are fifth OF the
United States I'm the textile Industry.
None OF us. perhaps, appreciates the size
Of figures. but remember this-that there
Is I'm savings banks In this state over
100000 to the credit Of the working
people OF Rhode Island This means that
the condition OF people In this state is
pretty comfortable. that they are pros
porous"
The second and last speaker was Hon.
Edward T. Brown OF New York former
resident OF Rhode Island and graduate of
Brown University
Mr.. Browns speech was confined almost
entirely TO the question Of the tariff. and
garbed the familiar Republican argu-
nents on the subject in new attire. prov
ng himself most entertaining and logi-
,al speaker
