* WORKINGMEN TAKE A PARI| Two Thonsand of Them Turn Oat to Hear an Fxposition of Political Issues THEIR INTEREST IN TARIFF LAWS Whate Protection Accomplished in Bollding Up This Coantry ~The Effect of the MeKinley Bill on Nebrasks aropean Emmigeation, Shortly after 8 o'clock last evening B, H. Robison, vice prosidentof the Ropublican Stato league, massed his forces at Sevon- teenth and Farnam streets, with the Seventh ‘Ward band at the head of the column. Fol- Jowing the band thers niarched tho Fifth Ward Flamoeau club, fifty stroae. Then thero was the Thurston Drum corps, the Ninth Ward Unitormed club with 103 uni- formed men, the Fourth Ward Repuaolican club with seventy mon, Dalbey's band of Counell Bluffs and the Council Bluffs Repub- lican Marching club with 200 men under command of Captain Treynor, the Kighth Ward Uniformed club with 100 men, the South Omana Marching club with fifty men, the South Omaha bag pipers, the Mercer uards 100 strong and the Sixth Ward Uni- formed cluo with 110 men ir line The bands struck up a lively air; the com- mand to march was given and down Farnam streot, which was packed with people, from curb to property line, the huudreds marchad, making the night brilliant with the glaro of the hundreds of torches and rockets. At ‘Penth street the line marched over to Doug- las, thenco west to Eifteenth, and from there to the ball, which was packed to over- flowing with republicans, d¢emocrats and populists, who were there to listen to good republican doctrines, preached from 8 re- publican text. There wero not less thaa 2,000 people in the hall when the speaker of the evening, accompanied hy A. 8. Churciill, chairman of the republican county contral committeo and presiding offcer of the meeting, ex- Senator Saunders, William Musser of the Central Labor union, Hon. D. H. Mercer, 3. M. Bartlett, . H. Marple, City Treasurer Bolln, J. L. Kaley, Chnries Stevens, C. A. Goss, J. B. Reeve, and soreof tho uther candidutes for county and legislative ofice, stepped Lpon the platform, The audience accorded a syvarm welcome, as the venerablo ex-senator, in introducing Mr. Rosewater, said that all good citizens, whether thoy labored with the hand or head, wero intorested 1n the issues at stake in this campaign. He had never known the demo- crats 1 leave the government in anv better or oven as good condition as they found it, and citod Van Buren, Jackson and Cleveland in support of his assertion. He suid thatin the carly days, before protection had been given as full and fair o test as it has since had, he had some doubts as tothe benefit that it would really ba to the country, but that now and for several years past he had entertained no doubts whatever on the sub- ject. Walked Into the Tople. Mr. Rosewuter wasted no time in getting at the question of protection, saving by way of introduction that this is the eve of one of those momentous elections thatis to deter- mine for some time 1o come the welfare and prosperity of the United States, and that those present, whether they labored with their muscles or their brains, should caro- fully consider the issues on which the battle of the ballots was to be fougnt. Ho did not Propose to cuter upou a long retrospsctive view of the things that hapnocoed io days gone by, but would speak of two importaut epochs. '\ In 1860 the people determined to change their prospects a.d elected Lincoln, The sunouncement of the result. of the election was almost the Signal for the outbreak that s00n after followed 1n thesouth. When that outbreak came it found the regular army away on the Mexican border, the arsonals pillaged, the navy in foreign aters, where, in the absence of cable communication, they were pructically beyoud reach; the nation: treasury empty, and the nation ex- posefl to attack within and without. The repuolican oarty, however, eu- tered upon tho tisk of placing the ualon flag upon every postoflice and custom house in the land. They succeeded, aud from that time to the expiration of the term of President Arthur they controlled the des- tinies of tne government. When Cleveland entered upon histerm he found §525.000,000 in the national treasury, $:47,000,000 in gold, $200,000,000 in paper and the balance in ve- deemable securities. Every penny was thero, despite the predictions of the demo- crats that the treasury had been looted and that highway robbery bad been going on under repuotican rule. Every cent of the money wes accounted for, Tho democrats were in power for four years, and found nothing to sustain their charges after ample 'ime to fully check up tho books. Theu, after the people had been fully satisfiea that all was accounted for, thai three-fourths of the national debt had been paid off, and tue country had a credit equal to any other nation in tae world, they turned Cleveland down and out, and re:tored the republican party to power. Now, on the eve of another national clec- tion, the demwocrats have the audacity to come before the people with the man wio, four years bofore, had been repudiated and oast aside. Whom Does the Tariff Tax? *‘The issues in this campaign,” said the speaker, *are clearly detiaec, and T will dis- cuss them from the standooint of the work- ingmal Workingmen care little or nothing Tor tho issuos of twenty-five years ago, 1t is charged that the tariff is nothing short of highway robbery, 1 will rot argue as to the constitutiouality of the tariff, as neither Marstall, Henry Clay nor any of the derio- cratio statesmen like Calboun havoe over said that it was uucoustitutional. “The first question is, ‘s the tarift a tax on the consumer? [ will state facts fairly ®learly, without prevarication or mental reservation. admit that the taviff is a tax on the con- sumer of certain commodities, It is o tax on the consumer of champagne, and no one will deny that ho ought to pavit. The tariff on laces, curtains and Wiltop carpets is not o tax on the wage worker, but falls on the wealthy peoplo who can afford to payit. I deny point blank that the tariff on clothing s 8 tux. Tho calico that you can buy any- whets for 40r b cents a yard has a tarifl on it of 3 and 4 cents. Whera dous the tax come in on that, and who pays 1t} Tt.1s the same with overalls, boots, shoes and on the ordtnary things that every work- man wears. You can buy goods as cheaply here as in Canads or Kogiand, unless yon bave them made to order. In Canada, four years ago, 1 bought an ordinary Panaws bat and puid $4 for it. Tt was an Awerican hat, and when 1 came home 1 found that I coald getone nero just like it for $2.50. It is churged Lhat the tariff has added to the cost of blankets, but 1 deny it. We have the * material hero for muking blankets, and the aliforuis blankets ure bettor than anv mado on the other side of the ocean."” - The llue of parade aia not arrive at the hell until this time, and tne speaker was ' *' compelled to delay further remarks until the ' hundreds of newcomers wero seated. On resuming, be said that he was glad to seo Lhat thero wero a few wore republicans loft in Omaha, and the 3,000 of them fn the '/ hatl made wheir presence known ac-ordingly. A% Accomplished, . What' the Turir ~1 ebhallenge any of the gpvouents of the .present tarill policy to show whore the tariff 198 tax, except upon the wealiby consumer. . We biave bad an_ahundance of experience in the past. 1'be Union Pacitic charter was an fllustration of a probibitive tariff. It pro- wvided Lhat the rails used in the construction of the road sbould be of American make. * At thet timo ralls were selliug « for' $185- a ton, and there was ; ouly one mill of that kind in the country.

It s like the farmer who usod paris green o his potato vines to kill the potato bugs, killed the bugs but the potatoss as woll. would be possiblo (o do away with strikes in factories if there wero no tariff, for Jf there wero no tarifl there would b no factorins and no emplovers, The troudle at Home- stead was that there was an attempt made to chango the time of tho yoar ai which the contracs for tho " old year snould end and that of tho new begin. it had ended on July 1 and the Amalgamated association wanted to change it to Janvary 1. That would briug the contract timo six months nearer the time when tho material would be produced, and contracts could ve figuren more closely accordinely. The men opposed the change for the reason that, as it stood, the change cime inmid- summer when, if the prices proposed to be paid for the next season wera not satisfac- tory, thoy would te in better condition to striko thin at any other time of the year, ard owing to the rush of work at that timo the company would be in_vere poor shapo to stand 1he shutdown in their works that such action on the part of the men would entail. The thing that was wrong in the Home- stead striko was the importation of Pinker- tons, or the calling ou® of armed merconaries of anv kind. 1 have always opposed the em- ploymont of Pinkertons, Their employment at Homestead can 110 more be charged to the ropublican party, than can the employment Pinkerions in_the “Q" strike of 1888, when more people wers murdered, more riotous oonduet was indulged 1n and mora property was aestroved than in the Home- stead trouble, ve charged up to the dem cratic party under the administration on Grover Cleveland What the Independents N This ereat reform legislaturo that we had in thia state two years ugo couly have done something on this Pinkerton question if it had seen fit, but on the contrary 1t iznored the recommendation of Governor Thaver for a law makive it w penal offense to briag Pinkertons into tho state, Iv certainly can not be the wishesof a majority of the poople of this country to abandon a policy thut has given such a great stimulus 10 our manufasturiug industrie for the simple reason that there are strikes, for thero aro strikes in factories manufactur- ing products protected and unprotected. Thirty yoars ago every trainman in this country carried oue of those patent lever Luglish bull's-eve watches, costing in an ordinary caso nbout $30.

How con'd this have ever beon achieved without the foste ing and encouragement of those industries? Entitled to the Profit, Some of the pobulists kick because under a protective system some of theso manu- facturers have become wealtty und dem:nd sed, the avolshment of the policy. They demand thut the manufacturer shall divide s profits with them, but they say nothing of sharing his lossas. The democratic nomince for vice president, 1n a speech the other day, said that inasmuch as Carnazie had made $25,000,- 000 in as mauy years there was somelhing wrong somewhere, Is it wrong fora man who works his brain ana invents machinery and new processes, whereoy all are epabled to have what ouly a favored few could Luve betore, to protit by it! Jumes Gordon Bennett made the New York Herald the greatest paper in the world, and 1t pays him & princely income, but ho pays as high wages as unybody, and his paper has to compete ln price with others, and_ who 18 wrouged thereby! Edison has done the world a vast amount of good, und why shouldn’t he profiy by it, after miving the civilized world all the won- derful inventions that were wrought in that hard working, painstaking brain McKintes's Help to Nebraska, Next to Kdison, the American best known in Eugland is Willlam McKinley, jr., and he is bated with an intensity that is hardly felt towara anv other living man. As aresult of the McKinley bill we have now three fuc- torics in this country producing ebicory, and one of them is in Nebraska. Heretofore, this product, which is used in great quan- tities for mixing with coffeo to enable the grocers to supply that commodity ata lower price than the pure coffee, has all been brought here from France. It is made from a beet root, not unlike the sugar beet, and this root will grow profitably la the sana hills, 1n localities zood for nothing else. This factory at O'Neill employes fifty bands, and there is vo reason why there should not be many of these oranches of a profitable 1n- dustry within the state ere long. Nebraska wiil proguce this year 8,000,000 pounds of sugar, which 18 otly one-eighth of what we consume in this state. We may as well Liave sixteen more of these great plants. bLereas tho two that we have, and keep £3,700,000 right bera at homo to benctit our merchants and laboring classes and to adver- tise the state, for this industry has already advertised the state as it never was adver- tised before. Six years.ago the sugar pro- ductof this whole country was only 4,000,000, which is ouly half of what this state alone will produce this year, One of Their Stock Yarns, Somoe of these folks have a good deal to say about tin, If there is any man here who pays any more today for his tin bucket or for any of the utensils that his wife uses at home, let him raise his hand and bs counted. There was nothing in that story, sud every- body knows it by this time, bey say toat the builders, the carpen- cers, masons, roofers and cornice makers, get as good pay as tnose who work in the factories of any of the protected in- dustries. The fact is that they get about the samo as the protected skillod labor. Their's 1s skilled labor, too, but they ought to get better wages than those who work iuside, for the latter have wori all tho year round, while the builders bave to lay oft througn the winter months and must save for it through the summer, when they ought to got better wuges accordingly, As a matter of fact, skillea labor wside is as well paid as skilied labor outside. The women and chil- dren in the factories, who waich machines, and requive but & small deeree of skill, got about the same as the street sweepers, and asido from that have the advantage of steady work. Would the adoption of the free trade theory cause @ susvension of pauper immi- gration to this countryd, it so, it would be because it would bring down American labor to the pauper lavor condition of Kurope, As long us bettor wages prevail here you can't stop them from coming without an edict and the buliding of a wall such as has been built to keep out tue Chinese.

Good old times? There was less empioyment then than there is today. About that time 500,000 men came marching back from tha south in search of work, und old soldiers turning hand-orzans and begging for alms were familiar sights on every street corner. ‘Then the tramp was born, and the legislatures of the states were compelled to vass laws for the regulation of the nuisance, for such it soon became. We had atax on every receipt, photograph, battle of medicine and marringe certificate, and on deeds ac- coraing to their value. Everything was taxed, from the cradle to the grave.

' If folks ara as poor as he claims they are to start with I don’t sec how they cun get much poorer. Wo know vhat all things are not perfect in this world, but this talk that all is bad and nothing good makes a man think that the man who preaches it Is dyspeptic or not right in his mind or wants to impose on the people for the purpose of advancing his personal political interests, 1 haven’t seen one of these populists from Weaver to Strickler who could not administer the gov- ernment better than Salmon P. Chase or Wilham Windom or any of those who have been supposed to be very successful at it.” Mr. Kosewater devoted the remainder of the ciscussion to the tinancial question, on which be spoke for about half anhour. Auswered Some Questions, A populist financicr in the audience wanted & hittle information and asked: ‘‘How can you run national banks without bonds ' “They sre running themselves,” was the reply, and the crowd fell upon that poor man in & most unmerciful manner, and i. was some time before quiet could be restored to enable the speaker to explain that many of the ngtional bankers were throwing back their bonds upon the wovornient because they could make more monoy with their own money than by investing 1t in bonds, and that over §225,000,000 had been thus returned. The Chemical National bank of Now York was cited ns one of them, Tho financier again 1uterrupted to remark that the circulatiom cf national banks was 2,700,000,000. - “You don’t know what you are talking about,” smd Mr, Rosewater, *The circula- tion of national banks hus never amounted to aver 50,000,000, and today it is only £125,000,000, Brewster Wanted to Debate.

The audience wouidn't have it that wav, sud insisted that they had come to hear lRosewater. Cries of ‘‘Hire a hal)" overwhelmed the ambitious George Wash- ington, but he was Dol & whit dis- couraged until the chairman tuld m that the hall had been hired for tho purpose of holding & republican meeting, and that 1if HBrewster wanted to talk to the people he could follow the same plan and nire the building for another oc- casion. Ho was informed thatany porti- nent questions that he asked would be unswered , He then asked concerning an editorial that appeared 10 Tur Bee fourteen vears ago, and was answered to the satisfaction of himself and of the andience. After that, Browster tried again to unload his speech, tut the house fell on him. Mr, Rosewater exprossed a willingness to answer any and all pertinent gquestious, but ssid that he could not consent to turn the meet- ing into @ Joiut debate, as the time was oo stort. \ Another curions soul wanted to know whether or not Tom Majors would be the proper mau for the workingmen to vote for. “That,” replied Mr. Rosewater, *'is for the workiogmen to determine.’” Tue solicitude of the populists for the silvor miniog millionaires was held up for cureful inspection, and then the record of the last legislature was considered for o few winutes. Kluney Also Wanted to Argue. J. M. Kinney asked why a republican legistature had not in twenty-five years passed a law proventiog coovicts in the penitentiary from competing with the labor- wg men of the state. He was quickly informed that the legislature of 1857 did pass such @ law, prouibiting the makivg of several kinds of articles in tho penitentiary, and that toe reasen that it did not include bar- rels was bociuse it was not kuown that that work wus golug on there, as it had grown up later as the result of the damand for them at the South Omaba stock vards, “\Why dida't the reforir legislature of two vears ugo, that did know of it, pass the de- sired law " asked Mr. IRosewater, but there was no reply, Kiuney attempted to argue another matter .
