Wat 8M Address a Larft aad Enthusiastic Arileme Saturday AfteraoM. Last Saturday was u gala day for tho of V. B. Fulton, Flavius Grlce, A. B. und Roscoe Sellars, who sang a cam- I paign Kong entitled "There'll Be Mus c in me Air in November." Chairman C. P. Cnther then intio duced "Undo Joe" Cannon, who, after Republicans of lied Cloud and Webster a few complimentary remarks about county. Hon. Joseph G Cannon, tho city and country, settled down and speaker of tho national house of ropro- j delivered a speech which was replete seutativos, aud Hon. James E Watsou, with facts and figures which would congressman from Indiana, who had prove 10 any fair-minded man that tho beeu annouucod to speak in tho court , house p nk at 1:30 p. m, arrived iu their special car on tho ear y morning train. They wero accompanied from Falls City by Governor Mickey, Con. gressmau Norris and A. Galusha. During the forenoon Mr Cannon, Mr. Watson, Mr Norris and Mr. Mickey took a carriage ride through the rural districts and expressed surprise aud pleasure at the beauty and apparent prosperity of tho country. Long before the hour set for the speaking tho crowd began to gather in front of the speakers' stand iu tho court house park, aud when Couuty Chairman Cather called the meeting to order there was assembled ouo of tho largest audiences ever seen at a p'eJJp-tll meeting in Red Cloud, fully ono'thlrd of tho audleuco was compos ed of women. It was nearly 2 o'clock wh n the . meotiug was called to order. Tho ball was oponed by a quartette composed Repu' lican party is the only political organization lit to he trusted with the hand lug of great national questions Ho began, by quotiug from the Scrip tures Christ's saying, "By thei- fruits shall ye know them." Mr Cannon said that during the forty-four jears the Hepublicau party had been iu pow er since its organization it had never deviated from the principles laid down in the original platform. The principle of protection was es tablished to protect American labor aud capital, aud (replenish a treasury which was us "bare as Mother Hub- bard's'cupboard" when tho Ropublican party took the reins of government. Ho showed tho d iferonco between tho nollcy of protection aud a tariff for rovenue only. Tho policy of protection placed a tariff only on such articles as could bo raised or manufactured In tho United States whilo a tariff for revenue only did i ot protect American indus tries, but pluced a tax on all imports. "Uncle Joe" showed' that in 1800, when tho Republicans assumed control the total manufactured product of the Uulted States was $1,800,000,000, which in 1000, under the Republican policy of protection, had grown to 119,000,000,000, nearly seven times as much in 1860. American labor received two dollars for ono as compared with tho labor of other countries. Siuco the close of the rebellion, uuder Republican government, over seven hundred million dollars war debt had been paid, a'ud nearly three thous and million dollars had boeu pid out in pensions to the nation's defenders, their widows and orphans, As another illustration of the pros perity of tho country uuder Republic an rule, Mr. Cannon oited the busiuess done by the postoffice department. In I860 tho total receipts of the pott office department wero $8,500,000; the expenses, 19,000,000. In 1003 the re ceipts at the Chicago postofHce alone amounted to 19,500,000, while the total receipts of the department wero $140, 000,000 Speaker Cannon introduced figures to show that tho Uulted State produc- eu moro manufactured goods that England, GtilJayfuid Franco combiu ed, an amount equal to ono-third of tho entire world's manufactured pro ducts, 07 per cent of which was con. sumed at home. Tho remaining 3 per cent, when added to tho agricultural exports, made tho United States the greatest xport country iu tho world. Siuco the formation of tho American government, up to 1803, tho total ox ports, of tho United jStates had ex ceeded tho imports by only $70,000,000 Since the adoption of tho McKinley tariff the exports had exceeded tho imports 4,000 mi lion dollars, which had been paid to us by foreign couutriesin gold or its equivalent. Mr. Cannon said tt-at it wa tho younger Bfneration.who had no recol lection of the strenuous times during the rebellion and preceding it, that changed tho policy of the government and placed the Democrats iu power in 180. Mr. Cannon told how the leaders of the opposition had hoodwinked the farmers and tho laborers iu the cities, in turn, during the campaign which re sulted in Cleveland's second .election and placed the Wilson tariff on the Nutlonal statute books They would come into tho rural districts and tell tho farmer ho wus paying too much for his clothing, farm machinery aud other manufactured articles, and if the Dem ocrats wero placed iu power they should seo that those articles-wero made cheaper. Then thoy wou'd go into tho manufact turing district and tell thojuboiers that they wero paying loo much for S'JTiO.OOO.OOO iu bonds wore issued to pay tho ordinary tunning expenses of tho government. Mr. Cannon gavo somo little attou- ton to the Democrat! caudtduto for president, as well as our own W. J. Bryan. Mr Cannon said that ho ad mired Mr Bryan's com ago and out spoken manner; you did not have to get a hcarcli warrant to find out what Mr. Bryan' political principles wore As to Judge Piirkiv, Speaker Cannon said that "God and 1'arltcr u ono know wheru I'aikei' stood." Continuing, "Uncle Joe" said that everyone Know llryan's opinion of Par ker, as exptcsscd at tho St. Louis con vention anil in Tho Commoner; that the Democrats hud tinned Cleveland's face to tho wall, yet both fhoso distin guished leaders, dlamotrically opposed in their views as tu what constituted true Democracy, would work aud voto for 'The Silent Man " 'I he speaker urged wavering l'opu 11 ts aud Democrats to get on tho right side heforo tho 8th of November; for on that day "somothiug was going to drop." Speaker Cannon Slid that it made little difference who tho candidates were it was principles that should bo voted for, not men;, there woro hun dreds of thousands of men fully as capable as Mr Roosevelt, himself, and other party leaders, who might die at any time, but tho nollcles outlined in tho party platform would live, and if the Republicans were in power those policies would be carried out, no mat ter who were the men to execute them. Mr. Cannon paid a high tribute to the ability of Congressman Norris, and predicted for him a brilliant future, urging the people of this district to re turn bim to Congress. Speakor Cannon reiterated his be lief that Mr. Bryan, in his stand on tho free 8 Ivor question, was both mis taken and wrong He showod tho fallacy of Mr. Bryan's claim that tho free coinage of silver would double tho price of when', by showing thu'i instead, the value of the silver dollar would be cheapened one-halt'. Tho speaker rovortodto thoqtiostinn of Mr. Bryan's support of Parker and hlsexciiso fordoingso. Bryau claimed that Roosovelt was an imperialist, and tint should h 1 be olectod the in tegrity of tho government and tho in- 000 men ouo soldier to ovorv '2,100 of inhabitants. President Roosovelt showed his bollof In "mllittclsm" by reorganizing the army on tho minimum basis or 59,000 men. Speaker Cannon closed an oloquont plea for tho vo ors to give tho Repub lican party full control of tho legisla- . tlvoaud executive branches of tho govermiMit, for without, that thoy woro poworlu h to carry out tho policies ot tlto patty. Speaker Cannon, In it few noli chosen ""'words, thou Introdujed Hon James E. Watson of Indiana, but owing t tho fact, that they woro to speak In Bloomiugtou at hair past 1 Mr Wat son's address was very brief. He eo lluoil his remarks principally to ex pressing his surprise mid pleasure at. tho beauty of tho city and surrounding- country and tho prosperity of our peo ple Ho also spoke in glowing tornis of tho record of iCongressinan Norrls durlng his first term in Congress, aud urged tho voters to ro-oloot him. Ho also urged tho votors to glvo tho Ro publican party full power and closed with a handsome trlbu'o to President Roosevelt, whose elect Ion ho predicted by an overwhelming majority, which, brought forth a burst of applause. After tho close of tho meeting thoso present woro given an opportunity to shako bands with tho distinguished guosts, after which thoy took their de parture for Bloomiugtou, whero they spoko in tho ' aftrnoou, going from t'loro to Orleaus, whore thoy spoke In tho eventbg. Govonor Mickey and Congressman Norris occupied seats ou the speakers r stand. Tho Swiss band, composed of men living in tho vicinity of Guide Rock,, furnished the music for the occasion and acquitted themselves in a very creditable manner. Nebraska Patents. Reported by O. A.
