Assailing the present tariff n de-
claring thai those who were RESPONSE
BILE for its existence were picking the
voters pockets and were no better
thai thieves, Senator Harry V. Osborne
spoke to a large gathering of Demo-
Gratis from the Fifth, Tenth and Twelfth
wards last night. The senator explained
that in paying for the necessities of
life the people were compelled to pay
tribute to the special interests which
We're benefited by the tariff. Walter T..

lambasted the tariff.
The meeting was held in Harburger's

meadow reclamation proposition vas
heartily Endorsed. The mayor said
"a among other things:
1.-The people have declared them
selves in favor of meadow reclamation
and almost every month we receive re-
quests for factory sites which we could
satisfy If the meadows had been re-
claimed. They say hat some people
would make a lot of money if the
meadows would be bought by the city,
but somebody is going to get money for
that land and the sooner we buy it the
cheaper We will be able to buy it.
years ago, before the Bush terminals
were built in Brooklyn, the meadow
land could he bought there for $500 an
acre and after it was filled in the and
was worth $50, 900 an acre. Imagine
what this will mean for this city, be-
side the fact hat we will get rid of a
nuisance.
81 am going to fight for meadow rec
lamation whether Mayor or not"
Mr.. Mccoy compared the food prices
of London with those of New York, ac-
eording to figures furnished by the gov
eminent, showing that nearly all the
foodstuffs were much cheaper in Lon
don than In New York, although En-
gland did not raise its own foodstuffs.
my opponent said recently at a
meeting of Republicans" he continued,
that these high prices were universal.
"He knew or could have found out
that the greatest increase in prices has
taken place in this country; that next
to us come Germany, France and AUS
tria which have lower tariffs than we
have, and that as to England, of which
he spoke especially. he needed only to
read Senate document N. All. page 3,
to be informed as to conditions there
by our consul-general at London, who
speaking of a report of one of our
consuls, said:
"A remarkable feature of this report,
on the whole, is the a that there a
been so little variation within the past
decade in the price of commodities IN
London"
Docks and ship Canal.
Patrick H. Ryan. candidate for the
Board of Works, also spoke on the
meadow reclamation, the building or
docks and of a ship canal, and called
attention to the fact that the $l,OOo,-
900 bonds for the ship canal author
lied by the Legislature nor the $780,
600 bonds for the acquisition of meadow
lands authorized by the finance COM
mittee of the Common Council had
been sold. Michael j. MCGOWAN, can
didate for the Assembly, explained his
stand on the question of conservation
of the State waters. He claimed that

Gran bill. which was vital to State
conservation. Senator Osborne also

ary as commissioner of banking and IN
surance while he was touring the state
to gather votes for himself.
"He is a nice man, no doubt" Sem
ator Osborne said, but a negative

raise his voice in the interest of the
people. Woodrow Wilson is not that
kind of a man and you all know it,"
