The pa-ade reached Exposition hall ufter 8 o'clock, and . filled the maivitg empty seats in the audi- toriun. The American flag was loope L over the portraits of Cleveland and Steveuson at the back of the stage, and a motto in_big red letters prociaimdd that “Publis OMce is a Public Trust. Governor Boyd, in_company with W. D, McHu, !, was the first to mount the plat- forw, und he was greeted with prolonged cheers. A similar welcome was accorded to J.Ster’i g Morton and Judge Doane, who follor ed o moment later. Amcag other prominent democrats who occupid seats on the platform wero L.

Mellu, b, who introduced Euclid Martin as chairm®n In sssuming the position Me. Martin .11d that he desired to congratulate tho decberalic party on this suspicious openii g »f the campaign. They were making 10 wis.kes. The national convention bad nominated men who were platforms in themseives. The congressional conven- tion hsd selected as its indidatee & distingwished jurist and citizen who v ou d be as emineat in congress as he had oee: on the district bench and th un'y co .vention had shown like wisdom in its soice of candidates. Mr. intro. u- d Governor Bovd, who was again agaio w1von un enthusiasiic recoption ,by the uudicnce, ‘I'he governor professed 1o see in the vast assembage before him conclusive evidence iy of Nebraska wus alive to tho situat:cn and interest in the importance of the crisis which confronted them. It showed that the democrats were determined to at- taiu success oy deserving it. On the 21st duy of Juve, in tha City by the Luke, the democratic national conveution had by & more than two-thirds vote selected for its standara bearer that statestuy and honest and incorcuptible man, Grover Cleyeland. After the applause which followcd the mention of the name had subsidcd the speaker went on to say that it was an unusual honor to confer in nominating a man three successive times for the presidency, Grover Cleveiand had Atlained the presidency while comparatively young and had discnarged the duties of that high cfice with remarkable courage and an houesty of purpose unexcelled. So spiendidly did bis record shine that the democracy of 1he vation had almost unanimously wurned to him as the man best fitted to restore the sim- ple, hoaost government that the people most desire Fluds Fault with the Republicans. ‘The governor declared shat the republicans ‘who had shaped the legislation of this country during the past ten yoars had done 50 in the interests of trusts and monopolies, and it was now time that some legislation should be enacted in the interests ol the common people. ew York was safe for Grover Cleveland, backed by @ united and harmonious party, toduy us when Samuel J. iuden led the party to victory in 1876, Iudisns would re- wurn s olectoral vote for Cleveland and Stevenson, and the republicaus now had to contend for Illinois, Wiscousin, Minnesota, Kansas, Colorado, Nevads, Wyoming, Soutt Dakota and Nebraska. The parmount issues of the campaign were the tarifl and the force bill. The democratio porty believed in a tarift for revenuo ouly, while the republican party believed in the MeKiniey vill, which efricked the 1ew and robved the many afu that without benefiting labor. Tha democratic party was in favor of state control of electious, while the republican party aavo- cated lederal control by an army of super- visors a. an enormous expense. ‘The nomines on the state, congressional and county tickets were all capa- ble, deserving men, who, if elected, ‘would fili the positions for waich they had been chiosen with credit to theraselves aud honor to the party. The republican party in Nobraska had lost its prestige aud its power, It had lost the confidence of the masses, and from o dominant and lmperious party polling 108,000 votos in 1888 it had degener- atea into servile minority, polling less than 75,000 votes. The electoral vote of Nebraska ‘was lost to the republicans, and the speaker concluded with the statement that in No-. vember next the present extravagant adumin- istretion would give way Lo Clevelaud and Stevenson, After the applause which followed Goy- ernor Boyd's address baa subsided the chair- man introduced Hon. J. Sterling Morton and the unterritied cheered once wore in honor of their nomuuee, The speaker could hardly be bioard ten feet from the stage at first, but #oon succeeded in guaging his voice to the mcoustics of the oullding. Mr. Mortog's Specch. After a glowing ntroguction, replote with beautiful metaphor, the speaker tovk up the politieal part of bis ‘address. There are two kinds of taxation which I shall briefly touck upon this evening. Firs ® tariff for revenue, which takes money from #llof us and pays it where it belongs, ‘in the wreasury of the republe, for the purpose of pueeting the public debt, providing fur the comwon delense and prowoting the general welfore, 1 tariff tax justiy laid and bonestly lected for revenue I 00 Dot antagonize. A for revenun properly 1w posod affords no oction because It is put upon articles nd 8000 re- Martin then | oop'on g Tro list, which wo do not produce in this country, but a protective tariff—thoroughly protected prohibits revenua. It is laid for the purposs of making the article upon which the duties ure pluced scarcerin the American market. Tt takes money from ail the consumors of the articles made dutiable aud puts it in the vockets of the protectoss, that is, of the men who manufacture the articles. Tt shuts out competition from abroad. It guar- antees tho Amerioan market to the Amer- ican manufacturer. It compels the American farmer to buy in this protected market all the tin, woolen, iron and glass woods, to- gothor with his lumver and bard ware for uis home an arti- ficial price. At the sama time, he American farmer sells in the free trado markets of tho world, where the competition ¥s ftrong from all the tilled tielas of the whole earth, This tarft for protection we antagonize with all the zeal and force that @ conviction of its weong, combinod with true courage, can inspire. T'he govern- ment of the United States has no constitu- tional or other right to impose taxes upon the people, exceot with the intent and result of getting money into the public treasury with which to pay the public debt; to pro- provide for the common defense and to pro- moto the general welfare; and all other taxes called protective, laid with far differ- ent intent and result than getting monoy into the public treasury, ought to be utterly ubolished. A Mathematioal Absardity, The advocate of the protective tariff as- serts a mathomatical avsurdity. He de- clares that a part is greator than the whole. The part of our citizons, say 15,000 all told, who are engagod 1n tho manufacture of glass ars greater than the whole 63,000,000 who use und broak glass every day. 'T'he pro- tective taniff on glass is made for the small part and against the whole. The few who make umber have the tariff duty of $1 per thousand, bourd weasure, 1aid in their vo- half nod against the millions of homo builders who desire Inmber, ‘I'he iron mas- ter and all bis employes are a small part of the 63,000,000 of peovle, but the law is made for that small part and agaiust all who uso iron. Evory man in this audienco is practically every day, whethee he boa republican, & democrat, or a thivd party man, a fres trador. Ho buys whore tie can buy chieapo t. He sells whero hecan seli highost. Wrado between him and his morcbant continues Just 50 loug as their exchanges prove to be, as all legitimate oxchanges are, mutually advantageous. Bad trade stops itsulf, whether botween individuals or between nations. Beforo the enactmont of the Mor- rill tarift the United Statos had a groat growing trade with Europe. The American flag carried 70 per vent of the commerco of tho Atlantie, Our salls flocked every soa. ‘Tt trade between tho United States and Europe must have becn mutually advanta keous or it would not neve grown. The pro- tective tarlff was cuacted to throttle, to kill, tostop, to anuibiiate Lhat which was much advantageous to Burope and to America, The advocates of the protective tariff de- clare that it is luid to protect American labor. Did labor ever petition for the Mor- rill tariff or the McKinley tarifft Did any porson ever have presented to him a petition to congress asking that a higher aucy be put upon any article so as 1o protect its manufacture 1n the United States? Never. Then as the people never asked for this system of protection, and the system is 1n force, how came it the law? Who put theso tariffs which make artificial prices on the commodities they protect upon the statuto books, if the peopie did not demund them? The manufacturers themieives so- cured the Morrill and the McKinley tariff. What for! To make things seirver und therefore higher. Tariff on Lumber. But I shall not dwell at length upon this questiori this evening. I call to mind now only the infant industry of lumber making. When the pilgrims telled the first tree on the rugged coast of New Kngland to make there- from & human home the infant industry of lumber mavufacturing began. ‘T'hat was nearly 300 years ago, and yol under tns M. Kinley bill this antiquatea infantis protected by $i per 1,000 feet board measure tax. Under the Morrill law lumber was taxed §2 per 1,000 feot board measure. The telegraph wires were thirilled with the fact that both of the distinguished senators from Nebraska were endeavoring with all their might and main to put lumber on the free list when tho august body of which they are members had the McKinley bill under consideration. A republican legislature somo years before had memorialized from Nebraska that lumber be put upon the free list. In that memorial the republican legislature of Nebraska de- clared that the Mornll tariff tax upon lumber competled the howe builders of this commonwaalth to pay each year 800,000 artificlal price to the I‘:unbur lords of Michizan, Wisconsin and Minnesota for the riere boards out of which to build homes. Ihe demsnd of our legislature was not #ranted. ‘The strenuous offorts of Senators Paddock and Manderson failed to put lum- If the foreigner pays they desire w put it on the free listi 1" mand, seat up with unani- mity ot iha sative popuiation of Nebraska, was given a dental. The tax was reduced to ouly #1, however, Lalsr on gnother petition to put their ruateral on the free list was sent to congress from Nebracka, It was sent by the sugar trust theaugh the Oxnard Bros, It de- manded ihat the muchinery for the manu- ture of beet sugar be adinitted into the United States ducy free in a state of absolute taxlessness. This demand came from a plutocrucy, not from a democracy. The de- mand of a plutocracy was regarded as a com- mand. Beet sugar macbinery is putupon the free list, and if it were a good thing for the Oxnards Lo huve the machinery come in duty free, while nov a good thing for the farmers who cuitivate the beets in their fields to have duty free their hoes, their harrows, their plows, and all the utensils and tho gering aequired in the tillage of land. If beet sugar machinery is choaper becauso ad- mitted without duty, all farm machinery, all iron and steel utensils admitted duty ~ free would likewise be ckeaper. On the Monetary Question, The United States laws authorizing ocoin- age declare that wheuever any gold or silver coin from the mint of the United States shall have lost one-half of one per cent of its orig- inal weight it shall cease to be a legal tender for debts. The ratio of siiver togold was es- timated sometimo since at sixteen to one. ‘That ratio was very good, say in 1860, when the vroduciof gold was $127,000,000 and the product of silver #40,000,000, It is endurable, commercially even as late as 1850, when tne product of gold was 105,000,000 and the ~ product of silver $101,000,000 in the year, but in 188, when the product of gold is §120,000,000 only, and tbe product of silver for the same year 1s $159,000,000, it is very plain to be seen that the same ratio of sixleen to one cannot be mathematically es- wblished or maintsined botween tho two metals, The relation of supply to demand 15 the sole regulator of values. The relation of supply to demund regulates alike tho value of gold, salt, silver and soap. It is an inexorable law. It cab never be amended. It can never be repeaied, aud in its opera- tions there con bo no mitigation, We have bere tonight, say three oitizons. The one believes absolutely in the flat of the government making absolute money out of more paper by a mere stamp Another believes that while there should be some value in the measure of value, it may be diluted, aud that therefore when silver is woath only 82 cents an ounce, the govern- ment hus enough preative power in itself to convert by coining it @ yalue of 120 cents, ‘The thurd citizen is what is vulgarly termed @ gold-bug, who believes that the bullion value of any metal is ita coined value, and that the mint stamp merely certifies the weight and fineness of the metal in each piece coined. Durlug this calamity howl which s prevaleutin tho land penaing the oratious and disquisitions as to the misery, the penury, the ubsolute distress that pro- vails u these ?lnlul. it is expected that land will decline in value. ‘ne friends of the alliance party are bears ou the real estate market, bears on the pros- perity of cities, towns, counties and the whole commonwealth, Realizing tms, our tbree types of money advocates each lay asido $1,000 with which to purchase land ad- Jacent to bis home, Each one lays aside the money he belleves 1.

We buyiog cfthem would be invari- ably compelied to pay in golo. ieglslation on the Question, The truth is the actof 1854, which had been on the statute book twenty years, said nothing whatever relative to the silver dollar piece. The later act was intended to make silver a substituto for currency only. The bill was ntroauced by C. L. Dunham from the committoo on ways and means in 1850, In regard to the act of 1852, Mr Duu- ham said: “We have had but a siugle standard for the last three or four years. That bins been, and now 1< wold, I propose to bave it remiin 8o and to adapt silver to it to rogulato 1t by it. It scems to me toat tho demonetizinz of siiver in the United States was accomplished in 1858 Prof, Laughlin of Harvard university, on page S0 of ‘The History of Bi-Metallism in the United States,’ says, ‘tho act of 1853 tried oo~ dewned the criminal, and after twent, jears of waiting fora_reprieve thi excoution only ook place in 1575, It was in 1853 that con- wress, judging from our past experiences and that of other countries, came to the con- clusion that a double standard was an 1m- possibility for any length of tima. The act of IS did not take away tho legal tender quality of the 412'¢ grain dollars. Really it merely discontinued the coinage of such dol- lars, but tho act of June 23, 1874, did do- monetize siver by declaring “thé silver colus of the United States shall be a legal tender at their nominal value forany amount not exceeding & in any one payment.”” Thus the debt-p: ug power ot all silver coins was limited to £ in cach transaction. Thus it is secn that the demonctization was accom- plished specifically by this act. ‘There was D0 secrecy or stealth in the act of 1873 *“That bill was reported by Mr. Kelley of the committee on coinage to the house of representatives Januery 9, 1572, and its passuge recommended. In that report Mr. Kelley says: The silver coin of Buzland is 10 per cent below the value of gold com, and, acting under the adyice of the experts of this country and ot England ana of France, Jupan has wade ber silver coinage within the last year 12 per cent below the value of wold coin, and for this roason it is impossible to retain a double standard. 1t Was Not Seeretly Fassed. ‘“I'he debates on that much denounced act of 1873 in the senate of the United States occupy sixty-six columns of the Congressional Globe. The debates in tue house on the said secretly passed legisia- tion take up seventy-eight columns of the same lnteresting journal. ‘Chis legislation of 1873 was reportea by Mr. Ksiley, as we have seen, January 9, 1872, havitg been submitted Uy the secrofary of the Lreasury te congress April 25, 1870, 500 copies having been printed May 2 0f thesamo vear, and it did not be- come a law umtil February 12, 1873. Con- cerning the bill at that time Dr. Landerman, onco a director of tho mint, said: *‘Section 11 reduces the weight of the silver -dollar from 41214 erains to 334 grains. 1 can see no good reasou for the proposed reduction in the weight of this com. It would be better, 1 my opinion, to discontinue its issue nito- gether. The gold dollar is veally the legal mint aud weasure of value.” Debating tho same bill in the ropresentatives April 9, 1872, Mr. tooper of Massachusctts saia: *‘The committee afer careful consideration concluded that 25,8 grains of gold, constituting the gold dollar, should be declured the money unit of metallic representative of the doflar ot account. Section sixteen ro-enacts the provisions of the existing laws defiuing the silver coins and their weights respectively, excent in ro- latioa to the silver dollar, which is reduced house of [ in weight from 412}¢ grams to 384 grains, thus making it a suvsidiary coin, in harmony with the silver coin of less denomination to securo its concurrent circulation with - them, ‘The silver dollar of 412 grains, by reason of bullion value, long since ceased 1o bo a coin of dirculation, and is wmeited by manufac- turers of silverware.” ““The forogoing is onough to show that thero was no conspiracy for the secret pas- sage ot the nct of 1873, L.t us see what log- 1slation hus since then been enacted to re- monetize silver, [irst, we find the act of February 25, 187¢, which was passed over the veto of President Hayes by a two-th vote of each house on that date. This uct legalizes the silver dollar of 4121 grains, troy weighit, and declares that such dollavs are lo- gal tender at the nomiual value for all debts and dues, public and privace, except where othorwise stipulated in the coutr Did not this act remonetize silver{ Has siver been any less a logal tender money than it was prior to the act of 1553 and 15731 The Act of 1873, “The next act, approved .une %, 1873, to which the sttention of he advocates of free silver coinage is respectfully solicited is: To suthorize the redemption of silver coins, This law applies to silver coius of less than $1 denomination and that they may be re- deemed in sums of 0 or any multiple thereof, in lawful money of the United States.” This latter act by implication admits the 1nferiority of silver us a measure of vaine and a medium of exchange does it notd Can auyone point anywhero an act to autborize the redemption of any kind of gold coin, either of large or small denomination’ And1f we had today gold halves and gold quarters of the dollar, would the gold™ bugs, 50 called, demand & law authorizing their redemption in lawful monoy! Did any economist advocating the gold standard aud unit of vaiue ever conceive of a luw to suthorize the redemption of gold coin upon economic orineiplesi Do any Christian ministers ever propose a scheme for the sal- vation of the Savior! A system of redemp- ticn for the redeemer !’ Mr, Walbuch Introduced, 5. N. Wolbach, the democrave candidate, Wwas next presented, and contented bimself with an expression of his satisfaction at standing before an Omaba audience for the first time and & fow admonilory words re- laung to the duty of all democrats in the comiag election. ‘The chasrman then aunounced that this was the end of the program but the audience demandod a speech frpm Judge Doane, who finally responded in o few sontences, He said thav of late years he had been more ac- customed to hearing speechios from other men than to making them himself. He could only repeat the advice of their cacdidate for governor to get together, keep together wud vote together.

NenrAska City, Neb., Sept. 24.—[Special Tolegram o Tun Brk.|—The largest politi- cal meeting ever assembled in Otoe county galitered at the court house square this eveu- ing to listen to the jolni aeJate betwesn tHons. Allen W, Fiela and W. J, Bryun. Judge Kield’s progress from the hotel t the ocourt house was one contin- ued ovation. Men yelled themselves hoarse aud tue gregtest enthusissm prevails, Be- tween 4,000 and 5,000 people were gathered at thesquare and each speaker was recelved with yells of approval as they mounted the stand at about 8 o'clock. Tneexercises were opened by music by Nebraska City's band, after which H. M. Boydston introduced mr. Bryan as the firsc speaker. Mr. Brxu was grested with applause. ie sald tue debate had narrowed down to two questions. He ocould not defend his re cord, as he had dewe nothing either to com- mend or condemn, ‘axes, be salg, shoula only he levied for the sup- port of the government. He read poruions of a letter from the stockbo'ders of the Fremont Binding ‘'wine compauny bub refused Lo read the entire conteats of the letter ubon Mr. Field's request. Ho de- clared the tariff 1o be a tax and unconstitu- tional. Mr. Bryan's speech was but a ro- hash of 010 made hore when he nccepted the nomimation with a few additional free trade romacks He talked froely of salt, tin and flannel and toln what a friend ho i8 to the farmer and workman. He admitted that the McK nley bill insured hiehes wages for work but said the manufuotutors did not pay thom and made the ftatement that wages were no higher in this country than fn Kurope, everything was oconsidered. When Bryan struck the silver quosuion he struck a snag and failed to get any applause, Mr. Bryan's silver piank which ireg@osted upon the convention which nominatolf ; nim, settled him in Otos count, He saia all lead g demoerats were in favor of free silver. HIS whole silver talk partook of thie nataro of & pathgyio appoal for alliance aid. Mr, Dryan was Bboraily applauded at the close, > Judge Field was introdiced by Hon. John C. Watson. If Mr, Bryan was plonsed with liboral applausd Mr. Wiefd should be over- joyed. He was greeted with one mighty yell as he stopped forward. The demoustration coutinued several minutes, Mr. - Wat- son referred o, Hon. Allen W, Ficld - as - the | Nébruska product selected to do battle with that siiver king, Bryan., Judge Field commetced by referring to Nebraska as tha best state in the union, a result of repuolican rule. Referring to Mr. Bryan's reeord, be said bo pro- posed to illuminate his record ns affecting this particular localivy. He has done tho pest he could and would.do uo better if rowrned. Ho then voforred to Bryan's voto on the river and harvor bill, & que tion of great intevest to this city. “Mr. Bryan wished to amend the river and harbor bill to read “Sait creek” instead of Missouri. 1t Bryan had the wterests of his constitu- ents at hoart Lo would have voted for the bill, snid the speaker. He would rather criticise Bryan for what ho had not done, He had an opportunity, out neglected it, cit- ing numerons instances where he ' iad holped to defoat bilis benelicial to this state, Mr. Field referrsd to Bryan’s vows on the Russian aid appropriation, voting against the wisbes of his constituency; also his vote on the World's fair appropriation. Referring to Bryaw's statement that tho tarifl took money from one man’s pocket and Dput it io anothers, Ficld said ho was opposed to taking money from Americans pockets ana putting it in foreigners, |Great applause. | Bryan claimed that the tariff was uncon stitutional. Field stiowed the fallacy of this demovratic theory in just one minute by quotg leading democrats and supreme court decisions, Tho peculiarity 8f every democrat, tho speaker thought, was whenever they found an American industry springing up tho natural tondency was to strangle 1t whilo ropublicans foster and protect it. [Wila cheering.] Mr. ifield then produced his butcher Knives (samo as® Bryan carried) und provad that an American’ knife could not compet~with the English knifo until the McKinley bill was passed, thon referring to Bryan's plea for free lumver Field asked why the democratic house did not pass it.s He made a happy hit. on Bryan's sto typed speech by sagiig Bryan said ho bad heard his (Kield's)” spoech five times; he asked how many' timos: the people of ' this aistrict had heard Brean's speech, w th flannel, tin. ironj and other things whic Bryan' had attémpted to prove were dearer sinco the MecKinley law was vassed. RRoferring to Bryan's attitude on silver he compade@ Xt with that of Morton aud other prominent democrats, He said Bryan was freo plyerite for allisnco votcs only. Before (ield left the silver question it became evidont that Bryan wished it was not un issue. A blow after nlow demolished the free silverite’s blow of rhetoric the choers of the agdience' must have convinced Bryaa that he hatstradaled once too ofton Al through Field’s speech ho bested Bryan, taking Bryan’s arguments picce by piece and holding up the shreds, stripped off their honied words, naked skeletons, bare of facis. He closed-with hot shot flying into the enemy’s camp and sat.down amid thun- ders of applause, Bryau in bis fiftsen minutes reply at- tempted to reply but he made poor work. He was clearly outargued.
