BURTON TALKS IN MAGIC CITY
Takes Exception to Speeches of the
Democratic Campaign Orators.

Takes Exception to Speeches of the
Democratic Campaign Orators.
Taking direct issue with the recent
statement of the democratic compaign
orators that prices had not risen In the
last ten years In Great Britain. a free
trade country, Senator Theodore Burton
OF Ohio adduced facts and figures to the
contrary before gathering Of live stock
men at the Live Stock exchange yester.
day noon. The senator in company with
w. G. Harding Of Ohio and Isaac M.
Meekins OF North Carolina, all of the
tariff special. made three weighty
speeches at the Live Stock exchange.
Cudahy's and Armour's packing houses
at noon.
Although there was a heavy run OF
sheep at the yards crowd gathered
hurriedly In the rotunda of the Exchange
building when It was learned that MEM
bers of the tariff special were to discuss
the campaign issues. High. prices and
their connection with the cost Of meat
was the subject of the senator's talk
after he had been introduced by Presl-
dent Henry c. Murphy of the South
Omaha club. High prices are due to
causes beyond the control Of any political
policy said Senator Burton. Wherever
there was pressure on the land in the
way Of increased population and an In
creased supply Of gold Senator Burton
said the price of meat rose In meat
this is especially apparent because of the
fact that cattle, hogs and live stock gem
orally are not the finished product Of one
season or year, but Of two. three and
four years.
Senator Burton was Followed by Isaac
M. Meekins Of North Carolina, who in
an eloquent and fiery campaign speech
recalled the dark days OF former demo-
cratic rule and deprecated the attitude
Of the men who would hurry the country
from unsurpassed prosperity into what
must entail business depression and want
for the workingman.
When the party left the exchange build
ing Senator Burton and Mr. Meelins to-
gether with Mr.. Murphy whirled away
to address the employees of Cudahy's
Packing house. Here more than coo la
borers stood in the road to listen to the
two speakers. Both men were received
cordially and their words listened to
with great attention. Beware of the un-
tried policies Of Bryan was the insistent
note Of the address.
At Armours about 800 men interrupted
their dinners to- listen to w. @. Harding,
who said he had come not as one seeking
office. but as fellow American and one
who knew what 1t was to work side by
side with the laboring man.
Mr.. Harding from the start won the
approval Of the crowd by his democratic
manner and good nature. He provoked
queries from the audience and answered
them without hesitation. No party spirit
was evident in his words and his whole
tone was one adopted to win his audience
to consider that Governor Wilson and the
democratic platform offered fiothsng but
the threat Of closed mills and silent pack
ing houses
