Carlisle ana Cleveland.
During his speech, Mr.. Cleveland
was loudly applauded, at times being
interrupted for. some minutes. His
statement that there was no necessity
for him to apologize for his part In
the deeds of Democracy caused tre-
mendous cheers of approval. At the
conclusion of his speech, Mr.. Cleve-
land was greeted with an ovation more
spontaneous than at any time during
the evening.
He then introduced John G. Carlisle
in few words Mr.. Carlisle spoke
at length on the Philippine situation
and after touching upon the subject
Of the tariff took up the present claims
of the Republican party and said:
THE Republican party having de-
termined to claim everything now APP
propriates to itself all the credit for
the establishment and maintenance OF
the gold standard of value in this
country, when the truth is that the
gold standard was established by the
Democratic PARTY before the Republi-
can party was born.

Turning to Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Carl

the sentence. AS IL by, common i'm
pulse the audience cheered for Cleve-
land, who, taken by surprise, grew red
and appeared uneasy but sat silent
during the demonstration. Finally he
rose and bowed 10 the audience, which
cheered for several minutes longer.
Mr.. Carlisle finally concluded saying:
Here sits the man, who by the thor
ough appreciation Of his official duty,
by his indomitable will, by his politi-
cal courage, II I may use that express
sion, and by his devotion TO the credit
and honor of the government, rescued
the gold standard from the dangerous
assaults made upon II by Republican
legislation, and maintained gold pay
ments and the gold standard through
four troublesome years, under a storm
OF vituperation and misrepresentation
scarcely ever equaled IN this country"

Lively Topic.
The results of the court martial will
no doubt be one of the chief topics on
the, streets to-day. Those who learn
ed of the findings and their approval
last night discussed the outcome with
varying opinions, though it was con-
coded that Capt. Hitch had been more
severely punished than was approved
by the general public.
The official orders have not, Of

WOULD HELP sKAGwAY

With free trade between the United States and Canada the volume of the trade between Skagway and the Cana dian Yukon would increase 800 per cent. within one year. This proposition is so plain that it needs only to be stated to be understood by the merchants and other business men of this city. It would give Skagway, and through 1t the American cities of Puget sound, a large and constantly growing market in the Canadian north. On the other hand, 1t would add to the business of Whitehorse and Dawson, by causing an increase in the population which Is en- gagged in the work of developing the in- terior country. It would give Canada the capital and population so greatly needed for it's development and it would give the Americans a new market.
 The only concerns that would'be in- iured by free trade between the United States and Canada would be a few mo- noply enjoying trusts. These fear any thing that might lead to competition. They are interested in eurtailing in- dustry in the United States rather than in the enlargement of the opportunities for the investment of capital in legiti- mate enterprises. The monopOlistic trusts would use their influence to pre- vent the opening up and development of an American territOS not controlled by them just as they are now opposing reciprocity with Canada. They are simply seeking to protect their mOnop- olies.
 There are very few strictly legiti- mate industries in the United States that would be benefited by real reciprocity with Canada. The devel- opment of Canada, should free trade exist between that country and the United States, would contribute as greatly to American prosperity as the development of the western American states contributed that of the eastern states. Every dollar of capital that is invested in commercial and transpOrta- tion companies in the United States or Canada would become more valuable in the event of the establishment of reciT- rocal trade relations between the two countries for the very good reason that it's opportunities for employment would be enlarged.
