AT OPERA House
CONGRESSMAN NORRIS, OF
NEBRASKA, SPOKE TO
LARGE AUDIENCE
MADE A SPLENDID SPEECH
Discussed Tariff Question As
One of the Greatest Is
sues of the Present
Campaign

Thereawas a large crowd at the
opera house last Saturday afternoon
to hear the speech Of Congressman
Norris Of Nebraska. The speaker
was introduced by G. L. Grobety'
Congressman Norris is very i'm
pressive speaker. He began by re
ferring to Kansas and his home
state Nebraska, as being states whose
interests were identical. He never
compared the two states, he said,
that he did not think Of the records
Of two men, Funston Of Kansas and
Bryan Of Nebraska during the brieI
Spanish American war. Funston
who went from the first camp to the
field, winning his brilliant record and
Bryan who resigned at the first camp
and returned home to talk.
Mr.. Norris took for the great issue
Of the present campaign the tariff.
Beginning with the statement that
both OF the great political parties ad'
NIT that the tariff should be revised.
He discussed the democratic doctrine
of tariff for revenue only: a tax on
articles from abroad which we do moi
produce in this country and the
Republican doctrine Of a protective
tariff; q tax on the articles from
abroad which we do not pro-
duce IN this country. He ILL
trated the working Of a protective
tariff in clear simple way 80 thai
as he siad "any school boy could
understand it, and showed by stats
tics that under this policy, labor has
always been in greater demand.
wages higher, farm products a better
price and prosperity more general
than when this policy was not in
effect. He said that in revising the
tariff the great question for us to
consider is what system shall be
used: the protectionist principle OF
the revenue only principle. He adj
mitted that when times are prosper
our as they have been under Reppb
lican administrations and labor is in
great demand, prices 60 up. Il
costs more to produce all sorts Of
manufactured articles and they
naturally sell for more. At the same
time, farm products, after all thu
chief necessity, are the most in de
mand and consequently the mos'
raised in price. Congressman Morris
said that what interested the farme
was: How much will a bushel o
