tionize and demoralize business that
neither YOU nor | can hope to see the
day that it viii have fully readjusted
itself to the changed. conditions, We're
that time ever to come"
He spoke of the disaster TO New
| England of an administration con-
trolled by Southern Democrats, and
quoted Congressman Kitchin of South
| Carolina: we in the South intend to
make the New England mills come
and put their mills there (the SOUTH,
or else go out of business"
Mr. shelton declared he believes in
| such an extension of the provisions of
! present laws as shall procure a spe-
cifc definition of unfair acts in re-
straint of trade with appropriate
| penalties against the guilty individual
| officials. 1t should denounce and pun
| ish the sale of the same goods for
| different prices in different communi-
! tics for the purpose of crushing out
competitors, and should prevent the
! refusal to sell on the same conditions,
ether things being equal to all per-
! sons whether they be at the same
| time also purchasing of rival con-
Germs or are themselves rivals in
| business. Any corporation engaged in
| interstate trade should be required,
| in short. TO treat all of the public
alike. Just as railroads now are re-
| duired to do Then if the small COM
petitor is driven out of business, it
will be simply because he cannot pro-
| duce as cheaply.
Tho Stanley Committee.
| al, al Of a
Stanley investigating committee, the
| speaker used brief comments from
| the leading Democratic papers.
The New York Times was quoted as
| follows: IF it took 20 years TO find
| out what the short and simple Sher-
man law meant. it would take a CEN
fury to discover what the Stanley
| bills mean" The same paper further
SAYS that the trust question has been
| treated like a farce" by that COM
mittee, (which has provided jest
| book which either side will hurl at
| the other through the campaign with
shocking execution on both sides"
! The other Democratic paper, the
4 New York World, comments in this
manner: More noticeable than any
thing else is the absence of the idea
| of personal guilt Nowhere do we
| notice aonew line or new word that
| need carry new terror to the heart
i of an individual wrongdoer."
Mr.. SHELTON showed that the great
/ est fortunes of this country were not
made by the tariff but by the pros
! perity of the people-the prosperity
for which the tariff was responsible.
Bear this in mind" he concluded.
| IF you believe tariff taxes should be
| assessed in such manner as TO slim
ulate business, vote the Republican
ticket"
| Hon. William T. Haines.
I Following a lively selection by the
| band, Mr.. Haines was introduced as
'one of Names leading citizens and
in short time to be the leading citi-
| zen. a man without a peer in the
| State as to knowledge of Names

| bigger, buster and better, but decid-
eddy more honest. | take the great
est pleasure in introducing to you the

Mr.. Haines Hoarse.
For a few moments hoarseness pre-
vented the speaker from making him
self heard plainly, though but few
moments We're needed to put his voice
in fair condition. Several disturb

barrassing the speakers. but without

] Mr.. Haines opened his address by
I declaring that never in his memory
! had he seen greater interest shown.
! He then went on to tell of sitting in
the gallery of the national House and
seeing the interest created by Names
great statesman, Nelson Dingley, ev-
cry time the congressman spoke.
Tonight" he continued. "as | sat
here listening to Mr.. SHELTON, / said
to myself. Isn't it wonderful that the
Second district is to produce another
| Nelson Dingley? He's as sure to be
elected as you are to vote on Sep

The applause which followed this
statement gave pleasing promise to

| Mr.. Haines put his audience in
