Will you let them see that our best citizenship is eoming to the relief of the situation in that you shall decree that the laws shall be obe by all! Think of it, in candor and serfou noss, The laboring men today see their champlons in their contests with capital un- der indictment and being sent to jall for violating laws by corporations, which daily via'ate tho laws and defy the courts and sap the fountains of justice and of pure citizen- ship, and whose ministers walk the earth as they were its lords and kings! When the poor man violates the law they put him in jail With rats and vermin, while his family sleep on the sidewalk and eat the soles of their shoes for their breakfast, thelr dinner and gipper. To the rich violater of law and despoller of justice is given the freedom of the earth—to his family is brought rare food and rich raiment from the east and from the west—for he has his yoke upon the people. This Is what makes the red flag and bomb anarchists. Are our best citizens—our great middle class—going to follow the lead of the corporations because they appoint themselves the guardians of our good name and credit only to consummate the ruin of both? For one, I shall help to put down anarchy, wher- ever found—howsoever high the place wherein It. seeks refuge, or whatever Its masquer- ade! These corporations fell us that dire calam- ity will visit us by reason of a name—the name of populist! Time was when the name abolitionist was held in dishonor, but greater knowledge hath made it great. I am no populist. Neither will I be a democrat, o1 republican, or any sort of partisan whatso- ever, on the great issue—which s the only issue in our state politics—namel we have honest government in Nebraska? Nelther the republican nor democratic par- tles offered us a ticket that honest and self- respecting citizens could vote for except inso- far as an honorable, capable and straightfor- ward man was put forward in Judge Hol- comb. True, the democrats have named him, but it was by the real and true democ- racy of the people in revolt against the bosses that have dominated the party so long in the interests of corporations—our servants and not our masters!

DIOTIONARY DEPARTMENT They must | TOM REED TALKS IN GOTHAM Opened the Republican Campaign Before a Large Audience in Cooper Union, PROSECUTED A SELF-CONVICTED OFFENDER Out of the Mouths of Their Great Leaders the Democratie Party Stands Con- victed—Fine Picture of Its Work, NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—Thomas B. Reed of Maine opened the republican campalgn in New York state tonight before a great audi- ence at Cooper union. The ‘“‘czar” was in magnificent volce and his address was re- ved with the wildest enthusiasm. Mr. Reed spoke as follow “I confess to a sense of unwillingness to come before this great audience here tonight. That unwillinguess does not arise from any lack of interest in the cause which concerns us all, for 1 never felt a deeper Interest than now of our success, for that seems to be assured It Is because the presentation of any argu- ment by any speaker seems almost entirely unnecessary. The case has argued and Is arguing Itselt so thoroughly in the course of events now taking place, and which have taken place, that the eloquence of an ora- tor, 1t 1 had it, would surely seem to fall far’ short of that conviction which has al- ready taken possession of the public mind. “The task of the republican orator was never more difficult. What would be the state of mind of any counsel for the plaintiff called upon to address the jury when the de- fendant’s attorney had fully confessed his client’s guilt and had overwhelmed him with all the reproachies and epithets and de- nunciations of which the language was capa- bl His occupation would be absolutely gone. [ have been in the habit for some yoars of speaking of the democratic party in terms which seemed to me to be just, but which the members of it have mot found sfactory, and yet 1 never dreamed words about the party or its chief equalling those which have been shouted in specches by great democrats from Maine to Texas, and italicized in much letter writing by a very exalted pub- lie functionary. 1 should never have dreamed of charging the senate of the United States, though of another political party, with perfidy and dishonor, and yet that is only a portion of the epithets which were chosen by the chief magistrate of ther own selection, When 1 sav; th senator from Maryland in the senate chamber with uplifted right hand successfully call wituess after witness to prove that their party chief had beguiled them into the passage of the very bill he so bitterly denounced, I thought how far short in the last campalgn 1 had fallen of depicting actions liable to result from the supremacy of the party to which 1 was opposed. LAYING ASIDE PARTISANSHIP, “It is because 1 am sure from outward and visible signs, notably from the elections in Vermont and Maine, that men are laying aside their partisanship and are willing to do their sharo toward saving the country, that I am willing to lay aside mine and dis- cuss on reasonable terms what is best to do here and now for the common interest. When in politics a great mistake has b made, 80 great that all men can see it, partisanship can be laid aside and the case can be stated without exaggeration of the merits of your own side or abuse of the other. Of course, man ever fails to be periectly fair this side of the river of death, for prepossessions life associations can never be entirely over- come, but there are times when men who never before acted together can think alike Theso times are shown by the actions of men and not by their speech. “Maine is a state where democracy is rook-ribbed and ancient as the sun, and yet in Maine the democracy so expressed them- selves that the tidal majority of 27,000 given years ago, when the decpest depression, the result of the war, rested on the democratic party, was exceeded by 11,000. I do not think you realize what that majority means, It New York state were to give 300,000 it would hardly exceed it; 75,000 would repre- sent only the increase. None of us expected such a majority. There was no speclal or- ganization.” The democrats .did it them- selves, Many of them voted with us and very many more staid ai home, determined by “outspoken action or by silence to show their appreciation of the result of the party's government which they saw about them on every hand. Was this a sensible course of action, well founded, and oue which eught to be followed by their brethren in New York and all over the union? What is the present condition of things and what ought we as sensible men to want? The past fifteen months have heen months of suffering in the houses of the people. Not starvation; not deprivation of absolute neces- sities of Iife, for this country has accumu- lated too much of this world's goods the past thirty years that utter want should paralyze and kill; but that want which is the great unhappiness of civilization, the want,of com- forts to which we have been accustomed. I will draw no pleture of fdle mills, silent machinery, men without work, money or employment, capital unused and labor wasted and lost with each day's setting sun. That picture is too familiar to you all. Nobody can charge this fairly to the terms of the tarift which now exists any more than they can to the tariff which used to exist, What caused all this disaster everybody knows who has any business sense. It was the utter uncertainty, the appalling doubt as to what would happen to us. Who could build on shifting sand? During all the time the so-called house bill was pending, men could only fear for the worst, for the housa bill was about the worst thing which the unwis- dom of man ever devised in these late years of Christian civilization. This bill went to the senate, many a demoerat voting for it, not because he believed in it, but because the senate would make it nearer decency and fitness. It Is fashion among democratic con- ventions nowadays, I notice, to denounce the democratic senators and to demand that they shall be relegated to private life. This is absolutely human _ ingratitude. Notwith- standing all the bid actions of the senate, and they were many, they saved the demo- cratic party from avnibilation. Why do you suppose these senators, these democratic senators, made 630 amendments to the house bill? as it out of pure, premeditated wickedness or was it on the demand of their constituents? Did the junior semator from New York hang out for collars and cuffs by the direct Instigation of the devil or because he lived in Troy? DId Senator Smith rescue somoe of the manufacturers of New Jersey because the flend whispered into his ear or because he heard the human volce of his constituents? But I did not come liere to discuss the relative merits of Mr. Wilsow's or Mr. Gorman's system. Both were democrats, Nor do I care to discuss the merits of cither bill. So far as it pro- tects reasonably Ameriean industries all Is well; so far as it does not, all Is wrong to my thinking, but 1t is the law of the land, 0ot with my consent, and for that matter uot with the consent of the democratic can- didate for governor. CURSE OF “There is 2lso Mr. Cleveland be " rectified UNCERTAINTY. vother fact. So long as tays in power the evil cannot What, then, remains s not for the republican party or the democratic party, but for the people of the United States tc do. "It Is not necessary, In order to arrive at a proper conclusion, to discuss or to decide which party s best or which s worst, Would the success of the democratic party this fall produce certainty? Let us see what they say themselves. If they, the leaders, lle, you would not trust them. If they tell the truth, you can find no rest for the soles of your feet on any Ararat. The democratic chalrman of the ways and means committee, who was a leader until the democratic sena- tor from Maryland stripped him of his armor and dragged him around the walls of Troy, declared before the houte adjourned, amid the cheers of the demoorats, that the fight was but begun. Mr. President writes to Mr. Catchings that' this {5 only the vantage ground for a new attack. Mr. Hill declares only the citadel has been carried and that o Is golng back for the rest of the town. These mea _seemed backed up by all the ofcial democratio power. tic press seems with them it the only men in the atle party who have any disposition to own thelr work are the senators from Maryland, Oblo and New Jersey, and they | Nor does it arise from any doubt are being hooted at In all demoeratic conven- tions in the country, and where, as in Ohlo, they were not maligned In set terms, the presiding officer proclaims the doctrine of ‘renewed war,' of ‘vantage ground for new attack,’ and such unwholesoma advice. NO HOPE FOR QUIET IN DEMOCRACY. “It is pretty evident, then, to any sensible man that quiet and certainty are not to be hoped for in democratic success. On tha other hand, the republicans are forced into such a position that they must for the next two years give to business that certainty hich It must have to do anything success- fully. We could not make any change for the better from our point of view, because Cleveland and the senate could oppose us. We certainly should not do anything to make the tariff worse, for that is contrary to our principles. To sum it all up In a word, we appeal to business men, and by business men [ mean almost the whole people, the democratic party promisas war on business certainly, whilo the republicans will give you rest. We do not promise you prosperity, for these conditions are not of our choosing. We do not recommend the senate bill, It was not of our enacting. But it is very cer- tain that if there is any good In It, the only way to get at It Is to give it a chance Of course, business in this country must re- vive to some small degree if we can have peace. It cannot stay where it is now, un- less American enterprise 1s dead, and that can never be. We shall have struggles over wages and lessened profits and increased competition to. contend with and whatever failures to protect there are in this bill will find themselves out. That' much hurt will come, that wages will not again reach their former level I do not doubt; but we shall learn at the costly echool of experience, and perhaps learn enough to pay the of fon. We shall learn among other things to avold the chairman of the ways and means committee and his entire school as men who are pursuing a by-gone dream. SOURCE OF INSPIRATION. “‘Perhaps, however, he meant to refer to the condition of this country the last year and a balf; perhaps this wonder and tnspira- tion came from the deserted workshops, im- pending cuts of wages, struggles between em- ployers and workmen. Perhaps in cloudland there is something cheering in the fact that oniy 1,100 miles of railway were built the first_nine months of this very year of our Lord, the lowest record for thirty years. In the last six months on a portion only of its lines the great Pennsylvania railway has spent $5,000,000 less than its usual expenses. That means that $5,000,000 less has gone out in wages to trainmen, in new buildings, in extensions, In engines and cars. In a word, the workingmen of this country have lost that vast sum. Perhaps, when you add all the suspensions to expenditures on the part of all the roads, there is something so truly in- spiring to the reformer that he can really long to stir up strife, 50 as to prolong such a lovable condition of human affairs. But this world, wedded to material good, will think otherwise and long for the better days gone by, “Education is the necessity of the human race, not book education, but education in the working of human affairs. My best con- solation in these times is that some lessons are being learned, not out of books, but in more solid fashion, out of experience. Nor is the lesson to be learned only by those who voted wrong. Some of us who voted right have much to understand as to the foundation of things. Perhaps the knowledge which comes to us comes fast enough for ractical life. When, years ago, we de- fended protection on the ground of infant industries, we stated good grounds for the establishment of manufactories, but today protection, which is not taxation of the many for the one but merely a method of securing to everybody in America the markets of the country, was not the best method of dis- tributing among the people the God-given £fts to enterprise of which our country is 50 full. 1 should not be for it it I did not believe that protection was only a method of making this country, in the admirable language of Senator Jones, ‘do all its own work,' T should not demand its retention. PROSPERITY BUILDS UP FORTUNE. It is perfectly true that prosper.ty of any kind leads to large fortunes for those who have the genius to organize great enterprises, but this is the case everywhere. Sir Joseph Whitworth, the great steel manufacturer in ingland, did not die a pauper, and Lord Armstrong and the Rothschilds hardly seem in the way of impoverishment. My consola- tion when I see great riches, for 1 own up to the same envy that afflicts my brethren of those who are better off than myself, is that all those riches are of no profit to the owners unless they build railroads or mills or dig illuminations for the poorest of us out of the bowels of the earth. The more prosperity there is the more there is to dis- tribute, and there is the chance that the worker, whether with brain or muscle, had to wrest from his employer his share. I am not the author of the idea. It comes from a_ Pennsylvanla workingman who de- clared before the committee of ways and means that if congress would only pass laws which vould senable enterprise to make profits the workingmen would see that they got thelr share. And this very ‘day, in the strike which is, or was, going on in Massa- chusetts, the very basis of the argument on both sides s the price of the goods and the consequent profits. “The only way thus far discovered to dis tribute consumable and enjoyable wealth is first to give tho chance to create it, and then let each side struggle for its.share, I do not say that this is all the way there ever will be. I hope not; no one will more gladly welcome than I any method for fair and peaceful distribution. But there is one thing certain, until have profits they cannot be distributed. Why do I desire a fair distribution of profits? = It Is not be- cause I profess to be the special friend of those who labor. Anybody who does that from a political platform had better be watched. 1 have no such motive. My motive is the good, selfish one, that such dis- tribution leads to general prosperity, of which 1 hope to get my share. WHAT MAKES THE MARKET? “‘What is the motive power that lets on the water and feeds in the coal and sets the machinery in motion? It is the market, the power of purchase. Whence comes {hat? From the rich and the poor, from he who is rich a little, from the poor much. If you were to give me alone for myself a miliion dollars, 1 should not spend ten thousand of it in consumable wealth, though I might put it into plant, into works, or railroads, but if I was to give you a million dollars, dis- tributed among "you all, every cent of it would be spent, none in looms, in machinery, but In the product of looms and machinery. This is what makes the market, which is the motive power of production; not the large contributions of the few, but the small con- tributions of the many. ' This large market also makes legitimate cheapness. I say legitimate cheapness, for a cheapness with no money to buy is a mockery to the soul, while cheapness with good wages is the de- light of life. The broader and richer the market the more of each article will be con- sumed. and the more there is consumed the cheaper each will be made. Machinery has its foundation on this. You would not build a building to make a single axe handle. Most manufacturers realize these things, and the great fact that good wages, so far from being hostile to thelr progress, 1§ its very foundation. When manufacturers all see their interest that way we shall wit- ness the happy death, for this country at least, of that old political economy doctrine, that profits are dependant on low wages. Business prosperity will then come from ex- tenslon of business and not from the diminu- tion of wages. CAUSE OF THE ERROR. “One thing which led this country Into the error of 1892 was the history of the last thirty years. During all that time we had been prosperous, wages had Increased, 50 all parties agree, in the ratio of from $i to $L71, so that whoever got $1 in 1860, got fn 1891, for the same work, $1.71, and that $1.71 bought nearly as much as did when the world was thirty years younger. The generation which lived under R. J. Walker and James Buchanan had passed away. A new generation had come. Having lived all their lives is pros- perity with increasing wages, people came to feel that prosperity was a natural thing, something born of the climate, perhaps, or the soil, and utterly disconnected with the government, For the last eighteen months it has slowly crept into the minds of all the people that there may have been some brains put into the government of this coun- try during its thirty years of prosperity, that all this happened not by luck and chance, but by good management and sound ideas. “[ am not golng to enter Into any pane- s of the republican party.

We newelrget perfection. All we can say I8 that oMesman is better than an- other, and that 'M%fs wiser to choose the botter. One plée¥ of’goods rescued from the weneral jottlson G last two years Is the fact that the demtctatio party has been tried in actual command. ‘é\'e can now make com- parisons, not betwean what each party says it will do. but betweon what each has done. 1 notice that this Taét troubles the democratic orator. The !au#ovemor of Massachusotts, in presiding ove¥. the copvention to nom- inate the other Russall, 308 Ras already been soaked with the moming storm, demands to know what the fopublican party proposes to do. He and all the vest want to get back on the old platform;° which was of professions and not of deeds. This country has had enough of promises; what It wants is acter. Anybody can make promises. Even the democratic party, disheveled and torn, continues to promise and (s ready, notwith- standing a ream of dishonored paper already protested at the bank and marked ‘no funds,” to fssue all the notes a body will take. T don't wonder that a politician in my own state, now dead, after helping to muddie away $250,000 out of the treasury of the state of Maine, when asked by Mr. Biaine why he kept issuing notes after they could only be sold at 50 per cent, replied that he thought he could stand it if the buyers could. There is no reason why democratic leaders should stop issuing promises as long as the public will take them. They are never redeemed. We republicans cannot compete; we try to pay as we promise. If you pay your notes you cannot afford to swap paper with a man who doesn’t pay. NO DISRESPECT FOR INDIVIDUALS “In saying what I have sald about the democratic party I mean no disrespect to individuals. I do not claim that we are much better as indiivduals than they, per- haps not at all, except in the average, and a small average at that. ‘Why is It, then, if the individuals are good the party Is bad?' said a democrat to me. The answer is sim- ple enough. A party is made up for an ob- ject, to do something or stop something, or merely to criticise the other party. That last function the democratic party performed pretty well, a little hysterical and inconsis- tent, perhaps, but vigorous and omnipresent. But when it came into power the trouble began. It had to get somewhere, not stand on tha sidewalk and find fault with the driv- ing. Now the finest Individual horse that was ever put into a team would never get anywhere if they all pulled in opposite di- rections. They could only smash tho wagon. That is what the democratic party has done. They have smashed the wagon, and the only remedy they propose is to banish from ail future harness the men who, while they have acted badly enough in some respects, have saved all the pleces there are left of the wreck. Now would it not be better on the whole to have the next wagon oarrled to its next stage with some horses that can- not break It up? “You will notice that I have not discussed the present tariff act, the much denounced senate bill. I do not propose to discuss it. Time will do that. The vice president of the United States has seen fit to glorify his party very much over free lumber and un- taxed homes. Time will show, but enture e prediction that the Kansas and Nebraska mers will have no cheaper homes. In the long run the small product of Canada cannot dictate the price except at the borders, where much trouble will ensue, but in the end the tariff tax, which went into the United States treagiry, will be found in the ry of the Domindon of Canada, while stern farmer, with wheat at 50 cents in Chicago, will find that the cheap home which he does ndt, get’ will be far from a happy ome. But {l is. of no use to discuss the bill. If we could eome into power and rectify it, it might be well for all the peo- ple to have all the information possible. Since the enemy have the executive all hope of proper change Is gone. Perhaps in the long run this may laye some good results. Experience may fteach us more fully than reason, and while, we. may view with a sad anticipation the lessendd wages and the di- minished business we may console ourselyes, ince nothing but comgolation {s left, that just action next {ime, will rest upon tho broad basis of full popular knowledge. EFFECT OF EXPERIENCE, “‘One striking example of the effect of ex- erience Is scen in the very bill before us. You all remember how the tin plate duty vas talked about. [t was said to be the ‘culminating outrage of class legislation,’ as a direct attack upon the dinner pail of the workingman. Now what did democracy do with this? They did not protect it, but they tried to do it. Instead of abolishing all duties, as they tried to do in the Fifty-first congress, or even restoring the duty of 1853 they raised the duty of 1883 one-fifth of a cent. This shows much change in mind When democratic reformers find a large in- dustry in their district it is surprising how sweetly they smile on what would be ‘rob- bery' in somebody else’s district. “But T had not finished what 1 had to say In excuse of the democratic failure to gov- ern. The great misfortune of the demo- cratic party has always been its southern connection—not the south, but the southern democrats. Against ‘the south I have not one word to say. I wish her all the pros- perity which belongs to the rest of the union. ~ We republicans, to do justice to Louisiana, a state which gave us no votes, but a full quota always to our enemies, took upon ourselves the defense of a bounty much denounced by all democrats and thereby and by the protection of rice showed how willing we were to help build up the south. The south in time will right itself. The good work has begun In Louisiana and will spread, “I have sald nothing of your local lssues, @nd I did not mean to. If you desire this state again in the hands of the officlal who rewarded that unjust judge whom you your- selves have condemned and punished you alone have the right. If you continue in power here In your city the government, the baseness of which your own legislative com- mittee has disclosed, that also Is in your power. As a citizen of Maine I have my opinion, with no right to interfere, But as & citizen of the United States, of which you are the most powerful single part, I have a right to ask of you, as my fellow citizens, to risa with all the power and majesty of the Empire state and help us sweep out of place and posit on these who have assumed the con trol of a great government without elther the courage to conduct it manfully or the wis dom to preserve it from ruin ADLAI SAYS WE ARE Vi honest currency?” ness prosperity. al PEROUS, Wilson Bill Has Already Worked a Revolu- tion In Business.

EX-PRESIDENT PAINTS A BRIGHT PICTURE Pretty Analogy from the Sunshine of Tm- provement In Mundane Affuirs—Groat Glory of American Tnstitutions— Every Man a Chance. EVANSVILLE, Ind.,Oct. 13.—General Har- rison appeared at the breakfast table togay ht and early, ready for another day of speechmaking. At 9 a. m. the special train bearing him and his party left over the Air line for Indiarapolis. Stops were made at New Albany, Jeffersonville, and other points | where meetings had been aranged. HUNTINGBURG, Ind, Oct. 13.—General Harrison's train was met by crowds at all way stations today as yesterday. The first stop was at Doonevill, where an enormous crowd had assembled to greet the ex-presi- dent and to cheer him on his way. The beau- tiful morning had made it possible for peaple to come In from the country, and farmers made up a large part of the audience to which he talked. He said: 3 congratulate you upon the improved weather conditions that we are having this | morning. The friends I had the pleasure of meeting yesterday were standing in the drip, but things are better today, and that is tho order of things; sunshine comes be- fore tho rain, and it comes afterward. We are here this morning in a country where there is about us everythig in soil, in climate and Institutions to make men happy and prosperous. We come from varied pursuits in life, but no man is distinguished from any other man by any titles that he can pass to his children. He may have been a justice of the peace or a representative in the leg- | islature or a congresman or a captain in the army, but these things die with him. Our children take up the work of life for them- selves. The great glory of our American institutions Is that they give every man a chance. They do not put any weights on him. They opan the contests of life broadly for him, and equip him for it by the magnifi- cent provision which our common schools afford for his education. Every man has to make his way, and T am glad it Is so. Some of these pioneers, who are here today, came to this region when it was unsettled. They felled the trees, or deadened them, in order to let in a little sunshine that the crops might grow. Now the trews are gone, and the stumps are out of the way, and the chil- dren come into improved heritage. We all like to give our boys and our girls a little better chance in life than we, ourselves, had, and most of us are able to do it. These things are largely dependent upon ourselves, but, after all this is said, everybody must admit that the legislation of the national government upon several important subjects las a direct bearing upon the prosper- ity of the peoplo. There can be no question in the world to any man who will think that a tariff bill, embracing several thousand articles, all of the gr.at sta- ples of commerce and of the mill dies, affects the entire business of the country. It may fect it favorably or unfavorably. Now, my countrymen, we had, two years ago, good imes. " T know soms of our democratic friends are trying to make it appear that they were not so very good, and that times since have rot been so very bad. You know whether two years ago things were not really in a highly prosperous condition In this country, and you know what we have gone through since. 1 think every man who will let his mind run over the question will see that this whole year's agitation of the tariff question, this proclamation that dutfes were to be cut down all along the line, this uncertainty that was injected into every business pursuit, that these have been the things that have para- yzed American trade and brought dismay and distress to all our communities.” AT LINCOIN'S BOYHOOD HOME At Lincoln City, the boyhood home of the great emancipator, and the place where Lin- coln’s mother is buried, General Harrison spoke for ten minutes, 'His speech was the oratorical gem of the trip thus far. He said in part: “‘My fellow citizens: I am glad to stop this morning near the home where our Abraham Lincoln spent part of his boyhood. You will miss your chance it you do not improve the fact of your residence in the neighborhood of this interesting spot by giving a thought- ful study to the life of Lincoln. Who weuld have supposed, what prophet would have pre- dicted, such a career to the boy as he lived under circumstances of hardship and poverty in this neighborhood? Who is there in this country who has not as good a chance as he? The story of his life has been a perpetual fountain "of Inspiration to our boys, and it will continue to be so as long as the country lacts, It shows that we have here no limits to what a boy may do for himself. Another thing I like to think about was the great, genial, human kindness of Mr. Lincoln. He was so different from many men in these times who are trying to Instill prejudice into the minds of their fellow men, to make them hate somebody. - That was not Lincoln's habits. He had a great love for his fellow men. [ remember once when a delegation of workingmen came to him, in a little talk to them, he said: ‘If another man has a house and you have not any, don’t pull down the other man's house, but build on= for your- self.’ There was great good sense in that remark, and the man will be happler and more successful in his life who takes philoso- phy to heart.” At Huntington another large and enthu- slastic crowd greeted General Harrison. He spoke about twenty minutes, amid great ap- plause. From here the train sped on, making stops at English, Corydon Junction, New Albany and Jeftersonville, at each of which places there were applauding multitudes awaiting him. _This afternoon he will pass north over the J. M. & L. road, making sev- eral stops, and reaching Indianapolis about 7 o'clock. WHAT 1S THE TARIFF QUESTION? What s the tariff question after all? It is In its essence this question, whether we will retain our own market %o far as we can, so that the things we wear shall be made by American hands In America, on whether we will so frame our tarift that the things we wear shall be made by English hands in England, or German hands in Germany. 1 do not doubt, at all, that if we were to reduce wages in the United States to the same level that prevails in European countries we could produce many things in competition with them, but all these workingmen with us are American citizens, they are all voters, they are the men upon whom our institntions rest, and we cannot afford to have a great class of despairing men, who live in poverty all the days of their lives, and die without any hope in their hearts. We cannot afford to have a class who can just do the one thing. who must put their children, at 12 years of age, to doing It without any betterment of lot, If we are to have men upon whom re- publican Institutions can safely rest, If we are to have men who, in time of war, will bring thelr strong arms and courageous hearts to the defense of of the flag and the constitu- tion, we must have a population that are liv- ing comfortably, we must have homes that have hope as an abiding guest. These pro- tective dutles tend to that end. I do not say that the tariff js the only thing that influ- ences the price of wheat, or the price of any- thing else. That would be an exaggeration. The disadvantage the farmer is under is that he does not know how many acres of wheat other farmers are golng to sow this year. He cannot tell what the forelgn harvests will be. These things affect favorably or unfavorably the prices, but the point I want to make s that the farmer sells 95 per cant of all the produce of his farm here at home, and that 1s the market he wants to look after. If men are getting good wages, they live well. We may think & man wil eat about s0 much bread every year anyhow, but in that we are greatly mistaken. This past year has shown how largely the buying power of our people has been reduced by reason of the fact that 50 many were out of employment and their wages cut off. I lave to you this thouglit this morning, as farmers, as mer- chant workingmen in these mines and factories that are scattered throughou country: We want to preserve a cl workmen, with wages enough to live comfort- ably, and wages enough to lay by a little for ple will be happy and contented, and the land tull of prosperons homes.” At the manufacturing town of New Albany a great crowd met him at the station and escorted him to the stand, where he spoke tor forty minutes, POKED FUN AT THE BOURBONS, “The democrats have been talking a good deal about geeting the markets of the world," he sald. “Where aro thelr markets? Are they In Africa? Well, Africa does not offer por capita anything Iike as attractive a mar- ket as America. Hero we clothe ourselves all over and they don't there. (Laughter). England has had for years African posses- sions, and they are now greatly extended, This thing gives her and those other nations great advantages in the commerce of the world over the United States. We have never had a colonizing policy and probably never will have one. Indeed we have been islands when her peoplo asked for it. I am only making the point now that these colonial possessions havo been established with a view of extending English, German, French and Italian trade, and that they Secure to the nations that have established | them a great advantage over the United States. Now, there was a part of the world | where this selfish polic the great | | commercial nations of Europe have pursued | in utter disregard of the rights of the natives, | pushing their trade at the point of the | bayonet, has not been put Into effect—one part of the earth upon which they have not been pormitted to lay thelr hands. The Mon- roe doctrine, expressed with quietness and yet with courage, and adhered to in our Ameri- can diplomacy since the time of its promul- gation, has preserved these states of Central | and South America from European aggres sion. The peoplo of these countries are | friendly to us. They stood in good relation | to us geographically and we ought to have had their trade, “My friends, by the reciprocity provision {of the McKinley bill wo had made a start. | It was a simple start. Here were markets of | the world that we could not only get, but we had gotten; we had obtained them without in- flicting any injury on the American work- | men, the American farmer or the American manufacturer, and I think the American people should call to account the party that 80 wantonly and uselessly abandoned them.' At Jeffersonville, Scottsburg, Seymour and other towns along the T., J., M. & L, short stops and short speeches were made His last speech, which was the twentioth of the trip and the thirteenth of the day, was at Edinburgh, and his voice rang out as clearly as when he spoke first on yesterday. At one or two places in the extreme southern part of the state the greater part of his audi- onces were democrats, but they listened with respect and inferest. On this, as on the | longer journey that he made south and west when he was president, the children, with | their flowers and flags, ‘and old veterans of late war, with the Grand Army veterans, formed a conspicuous feature of every gath- ering. ARE ALL AGAINST TAMMANY. Democratic and Republican Nominations that Oppose the Tiger. NEW YORK, Oct. 13.— The Government” clubs held a tion in Hardman hall and nomi- nated Colonel Willlam L. Strong for mayor, John W. Goff for recorder, Henry L. Beekman for judge of the superior court, John Jeroleman for president of the Board of Aldermen and the other nominees of the ticket put forth by the committee of seventy. The executive committee of the New York state democracy met in Cooper union, After a session of two hours ex-Mayor Grace an- nounced that the organizatton would place candidates in the fleld for congress, assembly and aldermen. The selection of nominees would be left to each district. Mr. Grace also said the state democracy would support a republican candidate for alderman in any district where they get in return support for their assemblymen. They would also unite with Tammany hall on the same ground, but in the congressional elections there would be 1o fusion. Although no full slate was made up at the meeting, Mr. Grace admitted the names of Congressmen Warner, Dunphy and Campbell will be recommended by the execu- tive committee, The adjourned county convention of the re- publican party was held for the purpose of nominating a municipal ticket. The selec- tlons of the committee of seventy were unani- mously ratified. Resolutions were passed con- demning David B. Hill, whose election *'would signify that the people of this state have abandoned political virtue and would fasten on his party a degrading leadership which would stand out forever as disgraceful in the annals of the state,’” INATOK HILL'S “Good conven- S| COND SHOT, Warns Democrats to Be Loyal on Behalf of the Cause of Tariff Reform. BINGHAMTON, N. Y., Oct. 13.—Senator Hill made his second attack upon the repub- lican party platform before an audience fully as enthusiastic even if not quite as large as that at Syracuse. Senator Hill stepped to the tront of the platform and In a clear, decisive manner began his address. In addition to reiterating the sentiments expressed at Syra- cuse, he said: “I embrace this early oppor- tunity to express my sincere appreciation of the loyal and cordial support which is being given the state ticket by those who have heretofore differed from me in regard to inter- party affairs and particularly in the rural districts of the state. They seem to realize more kecnly than do some of our party friends in New York and Brooklyn the absolute neces- sity of party unity in the present emergency, involving as it does the very existence of the democratic party itself. They realize that a republican victory in New York will strengthen the forces of protection everywhere and greatly imperil all that has been gained and accomplished during the past two years for the cause of tariff reform reh Refuses to Allow Him ® Communion, PARIS, Ky, Oct. 13.—Colonel W. C. P. Breckinridge has been suspended from com- munion by Mount Horeb church in Lafay-| ette county. The pastor of the church, Rev. Charles T. Thompson, gives the Kentucky Citizen the following statement of the action of the church: “Last Sunday morning at the Mount Horeb church the pastor read publicly the action of the session concerning Colonel Breckin- ridge, who had made to them a confession of his guilt and asked the prayers and love of his brethren in leading a Christian life. ““The unanimous decision of the officers was that while accepting his repentence as s! cere and heartfelt, the great publicity of the sin demanded some public action, 8o he was suspended from the sacraments till February 1, 1895. The law of the Presbyterian church book of church orders, paragraph 158, is ‘definite suspension is administered when'the eredit of religion, the honor of Christ and the good of the offender demand it,' even though he may have given satisfaction to the court. old and to give to the children a little better ¢l ice than the father had. If we can do that nothing can shake the sure re- pose of his grand republic we love. Its peo- RLY DENOUNC ot Rid of Him th Harriso MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 13.—General T. J. Morgan, Indian commissioner under Harrison, in an address before the state Baptist con- vention on “Rome in Politics,” made a bit- ter attack on the Roman Catholic church, which he declared was a political organi- zation. The pope, he sald, would soon try to have the ablegate recognized at Washing- ton as an ambassador from a political sov- ereignty. He charged the Roman Catholics with securing the defeat of Harrison on ac- count of his admlinistration of Indlan affair; He asserted that ninety-nine out of every 100 Catholics were democrats, only enough remaining republicans to keep up appear- ances, He referred to Archbishop Irelond as o man who carries a United Btates senator in his vest pocket for convenient use, and added that the archbishops of America were at this moment behind closed doors plotting against free schools and the free institutions of America, Stood Up to Hear Bryro, GREENWOOD, Neb., Oct. 13.—(Special Telegram.)—Hon, W.

Down s Measure that Tattooed Tom Hardly Comes Up To HASTINGS, Neb., Oct. 13.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The republican campalgn was opened in dead earnest in this city today by Governor Crounse and Hon. W. E. Andre At 2 p. m. the Nebraska Union Veteran leglon, with about 100 in line, escorted the governor and Mr. Andrews from the city hall to the opera house, where several people were already anxiously waiting. The Hole drego gleo club opened with a campaign song and was heartily cheered. County At- torney MeCreary then introduced the gove ernor to the audience and it called forth a hearty ovation. Mr. Crounse spoke of the many offices he had held and the honor be- stowed upon him, but he considered the honor shown him by the Union Veteran legion the greatest honor of them all and continued speaking very kindly of the old soldiers. He wanted it distinctly under- stood that a publio office was not a publio snap, but an office of great importance and responsibility and that the people should see to it that none but trustworthy and honor- able men should fill such places. He roasted the democrats and independents, and espe- cially Bryan, Kem, McKeighan and all. Bryan "was touched up about riding two political horses at the same time and then the governor wound up by speaking a few &ood words for his private secretary, W. B. Andrews, who was immediately presented and took up the pension question and fol- lowed it with the tariff and money questions, which he handled quite ably. In the even- ing the flambeai club, headed by Sheriff Har ris and the Hastings military band, made a grand parade, (luminated with plenty of fireworks. W. T. Summers of Lincoln talked to about the same sized audience that Crounse and Andrews had. He made a fine speech on republicanism and his audience was attentive and enthusiastic. The whole affair was quite a success, D ON FINANCE. I Favor of Makh Every Dollar Count and No Funds Wasted, PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Oct. 13.—(Special Telegram.)—The Holcomb meeting at Weep- Ing Water in this county Thursday was a tremendous success, the attendance being large and enthusiasm apparent on every side, In his address, which covered almost two hours in its delivery, the judge 1eft a splendid * Impression as to his candor, fairness and ability, He reviewed the financial situation of the state with the air of a man who was thoroughly posted, referred to the methods by which a debt of some $800,000 had been ac- cumulated, the warrants covering the amount being marked “not pald for want of funds,” and drawing 7 per cent Interest, He gave fig- ures to show that Nebraska pays heavier taxes than other states, except Nevada. He referred to Governor Crounse's proposed methods of meeting these warrants, the last of which was to curtall expenses so that the money drawn from taxes would eventually pay the debt. He then said he fayored most rigldly an economic state government, to the injury of no one, but so that no dollar should be wasted, The judge reviewed the “credit of the state” matter and showed up the fal- lacy of charging to his election the possible injury of the state's credit, and made that charge very ridiculous. His manner is that of a plain, unassuming, honest man, who knows what he is talking of and means every word he says. Holcomb's vote in Cass county will be all of 1,500 larger than last fall, when he ran for supreme judge. Folitical Affalrs at Ravenn: RAVENNA, Neb., Oct. 13.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Hon. Matt Daugherty addressed a large and enthusiastic meeting at Ravenna this afternoon. The Ravenna band was ot and contributed some execellent music this evening. Frank Beeman of Kearney and Messrs. Reed and Ford, candidates for the legislature, spoke to a good sized audience at the opera house. Next Saturday the populists will hold rally and barbecue at Ravenna. Congres: man Kem, W. D, Oldham and others are announced as the speakers, Friday evening a large number of Ravenna republicans, accompanfed by the Ravenna band, went to Broken Bow to hear John M. Thurston. Republicans are quite enthusi- astio in the congressional fight and hope for Daugherty’s success.
