Fourth of July Celebration Turned Into
Nominating Mood by Congressman
Henry of Texas--Names Tcwne for
vice-President - Congressman Fitx-
gerald Doesn't Want Canal Goods
bought Here to BENEFIT the Trusts.
New York, July 4,-The annual cele-
bration of the Society Of Tam1nany or
the columbian order took place to-
day. The exercises, which were held In
Tammany Hall, We're attended by
prominent men from many parts Of the
country.
One of the principal addresses Of the
day was delivered w Congressman
John A. Sullivan of Massachusetts,, who
spoke OF what he regarded as the evils
which had grown out of the, protective
tariff, He said
IA few days ago the republican ma
iority in both branches of congress
forced upon the country law compell-
ing the canal commission to purchase
its supplies from American manufac-
turers whenever the prices Of the lat
ter were not unreasonable or extor-
tfonate. Within week after the time
that law received the presidents sigma
ture the Maryland Steel company was
awarded contract for two dredges at
1852 900 each, The foreign concern Of
fered to build them for $4,000 less,
over 10 per cent. AT that rate in siO,-
100000 worth of supplies which will be
purchased next year American trusts
with over charge us 81 900, 600, according
to the majority in congress, will not
be extortionate or unreasonable. The
sale of American products in the canal
zone next year will represent $LO00,OO0
of plunder The sales Of American man
ufactures to the people Of the United
States next year viii surely be $4,000
900 900 and will therefore at the same
rate represent $1.6OOOOo,000 of plunder
mot only has the tariff system de-
stroyed equality of taxation, closed the
door of industrial opportunity and prac-
ticed extortion upon our people, but it
has also been and must continue to be
the rotten center Of an overwhelming
circle of corruption.
frTha Chicago packers paid into the
republican campaign treasury the price
Of the duty on hides and felt safe in
poisoning communities; the insurance
companies of this state made cofitribu
ton with which they purchased peace
at ALBANY; the Pennsylvania railroad
purchased immunity for years for the
law forbidding the railroads to engage
in the business of mining coal, and the
ship subsidy gang will pay their money
to help elect a republican congress
which will pass a ship subsidy bill.
1.-THE people reason that they must
fight the giant with a greater giant.
And thus they seek new laws in the
nation without exhausting their rene-
dies in the state. A bureaucracy is be-
ing established which maintains its
1oby in the halls Of congress and which
in the future will completely overshad-
ow that body. And when this govern
ment, because of its great size, has be-

down, it will fall an easy pray to the
hosts of socialism. Democracy must
protect the individual in his rights con-
fine the federal government strictly to
its constitutional functions and thus
make socialism impossible"
The address of welcome was delivered
by Grand Sachem w. Bourlce oCckran
and brief addresses were delivered by
representative democrats from various
sections of the country Among the
letters of regret was one from Cover
nor Guild of Massachusetts.

talks" of the celebration, nominated

A. Towne of New York as president
and vice president, respectively, on the

yelled approval, applauding with hands,
| feet and voices.
