Hoke Smith Was Here

Hoke Smith OF Georgia spoke
to a crowded room in the court
house Tuesday evening.
He is the gentleman who was
Secretary of the Interior under
Cleveland and who was instu-
mental in cutting down the pen
sions of the old soldiers and the
passage of the Wilson bill.
He is governor of Georgia and
at the primaries for a second
nomination last month he Was
repndiated by his own party.
He stated that he came here
at the solicitation of w. j. Bry-
IN.
He would not dare to make
the speech in Il labor center
that he made here. His argu-
ment on tariff upholds what the
republicans have claimed and
what the democrats have denied
as to the meaning of their plat
form. The republicans advo-
cate a revision of the tariff up
on a protective basis. The
democrats deny that the plank
in their platform demands a re-
vision upon Il revenue basis
only, but Mr.. Smith openly adj
vocated such a theory. He de-
manded that we should buy
where we can buy the cheapest,
irrespective of country.
W. well know that certain
goods sell in foreign countries
cheaper than here for the reas.
on that labor is cheaper there
than here and we further well
know that if such a policy should
be pursued by this country our
shops would be either closed or
the wages of the employees
would be reduced to a par with
European labor. Therefore the
market for the products of the
farm would be either destroyed
or impaired and the farmer
would be a great sufferer in the
end.
His argument upon tariff was
out and out free trade, and re.
member he comes as the spokes-
man of Bryan.
All we have to do is to re-
member the times under Cleve.
land when we had democratic
free trade IN order to realize the
effect of free trade upon agri-
culture.
His argument upon injunction
was ridiculous. 1t was this
"When Taft was a judge upon
the bench be enioined men,
There he left it. He did not say
why they we're enjoined nor
what from.
If a judge would enjoin gang
from murder according TO Hoke
Smith he would BEDDING wrong.
1t was a little amusing to us
Nebraskans who know Bryan SO
well to hear Smith upon publ
cation of campaign contribution.
That is a subject which Bryan
crates on with terrific vebem
ence away from home, but around
here he is usually very quiet
about it.
WE remember very well about

ceiving SIS, 900 from the worst

made OF that Sl5, 900.

the effect that missionaries of this

men of the Fleet be not paid off while
in this port, and also that they not
have shore leave after o'clock at
night. The origin of the report is

Il. w. Thwing said today:
I'VE have not made any request
to have the pay of the men of the
Fleet withheld. Neither the Union,
the ministers. or any of our repre-
Isentatives have made any such re-
quest, and we have not asked that
the men be sent to bed at any hour.
On the contrary, we would like Ia
have all the men ashore, and to have
them given all their pay here. We
have sufficient confidence in the
men.
