FYork especially looked out for be- cause his constituents made collars and cuffs. This senator would not vote for the Wilson bill until collars and cuffs were put on the protected list
 Tin Plate Industry.
 The tin plate industry is fair illus tratfen of the tariffs operation. All the thousands of dollars worth of tin plate manufactured by American tin plate factories would be made abroad if it were not for the tariff and our thousands of workers would be idle
 Taking up the question of high price of beef and potatoes, the speaker claimed that this was not due to the tariff, but was due to a natural cause, drought, which was felt all over the world.
 Hearsts Statistics from England. Judge Studley read an extract from Hearst paper in which it was stated that wages in England were from 40 to 50 per cent. less than wages in America, that the best engineers re- ceived $17 to SIS, the average engi- neer S9. the conductors about $6 per week. With such wages workingmen in free trade England are expected to meet a cost of living as high or higher than ours. It is a false statement that living is cheaper in England than in America. Such luxuries as fruit are entirely beyond the reach of the ordinary people. Meats are higher in England and much is imported from South America. Newspaper men whom MT. Hearst had sent to England had asked to be allowed to return to the United States, because of the high | rncf hf 1ixrfno ir nd
 On State Politics.
 Statewise, Judge Studley spoke of the pledge made and still moral ob- ligation, to assist the old soldiers. It had operated by taking $1,000 off the assessment of those who had property, but the man who had no property and needed help the most received no help This is an injustice. He spoke of the tremendous death tool given by the industrial workers and he argued for a fair workingmen's compensation act | for those who become maifned in pro- l ducing the wealth of the country. Norwich Is CompIimented. He complimented Norwich for turn l ing out the largest meeting he had seen yet, proving that the Norwich manufacturers were alive to the situa- tion and the menace that threatened | them in the event of victory by the | opposition party.
 l Judge Studley was given enthusias- 1 tic applause and cheers as he took hiI seat, and Chairman Hall next intro. | duced Attorney General Frank H. Col lins of Nebraska.
 Westerner captivates His Audience. | Attcrsay General Collins proved ( l vrbo taI I ;e 1 ence to unbounded bursts of enthusi asm as he dealt with one issue aftel
 another in the campaign in a breezy ] western style. He struck home to tht
 synfpathies of his hearers with hi! l first sinile when he likened the pro 1 tective tariff to the measures Whicl l any city takes in imposing a ta1 upon transient peddlers and vendors
 Every man of you, he declared, admits | that's right (applause), and if that'l right the tariffs right, and that's al
 there is to the tariff. It's based ol 1 good horse sense. The voters of Con necticut have got too much horst
 sense to step back into the graveyard
 of the past. Tin not an octogenarian l but I can remember back to the time!
 of '9s and 's7. Those were the timei that tried mems souls, but things ar, 1 good now Why vote for a chang,
 now? Isn't this the best time you eve
 knew? The republican party is ; l builder, but it's opponent is a de | stroyer. It takes genius to build, bu 1 none to destroy. Any putting bill, goat can do that. Laughter and ap | plause.)
 Prodigais Will Return. I The speaker drew vivid picture o | the Wretched condition of things Il his own state in the democratic regim | from '93 to '97. Husks are not goot
 things to feed on, these prodigals iron
 the republican party will find out, an:
 they'll come home, as the free silve
