follows:
After the dismal failure of. tariff re
form" of which we are now having ex
perience, it-ia scarcely necessary to
pursue the subject further. The free
traders have proven themselves vto be
the most incompetent and unreliable
body that has been entrusted with
power since the government was formed.
lckiwg the capacity to govern, incapa
ble of comprehending the needs and
wants of the people, and unwilling to
take advice from the leaders of the re-
pubheaa party, who have, afforded them
the greatest lessons in statesmanship to
be foand ia recent history, their public
career will be short
The Madison. Chronicle says of the
republican candidate for congress: "His
editorial utterances on the question's of
protection to American industries and a
table currency, have been so sound and
convincing, that he has been -quoted
more frequently than any other repub
lican editor in the state of Nebraska.
While yet comparatively a young man
he has gained a ripe experience by hard
knocks in political contests with the
leading politicians of the state, and
always been more than able to hold up
hia end of the debate' by the exercise of
his broad mind and facile pen. Boss
Hammond is a republican in all thai
the word implies. He stands for the
best interests of all the people and not
any particular class. He is clean, able,
eloquent and the soul of honor. He is
a man erery way fitted for the honora
ble position to which he aspires. He
will be elected because he represents the
principles that are best for the majority
of the people of the state at large."
News comes from St. Paul, Minn.,
that Archbishop Ireland issued on the
5th a letter announcing that hereafter
in the Catholic parochial schools no tui
tion be charged, such tuition being con
sidered an obstacle to the growth of the
schools. Pastors are to take the amount
for the support of the schools from the
regular church receipts of the parish or
rely upon extraordinary measures which
their own judgment may commend.
There is to be no thought of discontin
uing the schools, but even more empha
sis to be placed upon them "as a great
religious work, the most fruitful of all
institutions for the preservation and
perpetuation of the faith in this coun
try." Last Thursday morning at Chadron
occurred the death by fire of iwo chil
dren, belonging to the family of W. A.
Danley, assistant postmaster. Some
unknown person had sprinkled kerosene
over the room where were sleeping Mr.
Danley and wife and babe in one bed,
and the bed of the older child. A com
mon tin sprinkler was discovered in the
house, which had lately contained kero
sene. The coroner's jury on Saturday
did not solve the mystery. .Father and
mother of the murdered children ap
peared several times before the coroner,
but neither, it is said, "displayed the

Morrison, Ills., Sept. 8. Senator
Henry M. Teller delivered his fret cam
paign speech in this place yesterday.
The crowd that assembled was vari
ously estimated at from 2,000 to 3,000
people. This is the former home of
Senator Teller.' He came to Morrison,
from New York in 1858 and formed a
law partnership with Mr. H. H. Jack
son, which continued until April, 1861,
when he went to Colorado. Hia mother
lives here with four sisters and a brother.
These are the reasons why the, senator
selected his old home as the place for
making hia first speech of the campaign.
He left here this morning for Chicago,
where he is spending the day with the
executive committee of the Democratic
party. He will then go to Grand
Bapids, Mich., where he ia announced
to speak on Wednesday next
After a full discussion of the financial
question the senator closed his address
in thefollowing .words:
I want to say to you today that I am a
protectionist. I believe in protection to
American labor. I have not changed my
views upon, that question. But let me tell
you that the Wilson bill is not a free trade
bill. It is a protection measure. And I
say here without fear of successful con
tradiction that it is a better bill for the
manufacturers of this country I do not
speak of the farmers than the Republican
bill of 1688. The people who make Iron
and steel frails tell us that the sched
ule on iron and steel wa absolutely satis
factory and they did not ask any more.
The great bugbear is free, trade. You
cannot have free trade and everybody
-knows it.
Caa't Wave Froe Trade.
A people that has to raise $500,000,000 a
year to carry on its government, as we do,
with no method of raising taxes a other
states have, must raise its revenue by im
port duties or internal revenue duties.
And you can't have free trade and every
body ought to know it. That bugaboo is
nonsense, and in my judgment It Is equal
nonsense to say that legislation touching
the tariff -can bring prosperity to this
country. It cannot doit. I believe that
this is the most important campaign that
nas ever been made. I believe it will-go
down in history as the most astonishing
toman. When you consider that all the
wealth of this country, all the great trusts,
all the great corporations, and all the
newspapers are on one side. I believe
that the people, whatever may be their
politics, will rise up and have the courage
to say that their Interests do not lie with'
that crowd
Do you believe that the Whitaeys and
the Ickelheimers are lying awake nights
and looking after your interests. When I
see all these agencies arrayed in one way,
and when I hear these men who have been
fighting honest labor everywhere, all at
once begin to be serious about the Ameri
can farmer and the American laborer, I
feel just as the Irishman did who,
when his employer fiald: "I'm afraid your
wages wIU bo cut in two if you vote for
Bryan," replied: "If you thought it
would, you would vote for Bryan too."
(Laughter and applause.)
Let me say one word about Bryan, for
fear somebody may think that I am not
in accord entirely. I say to you here now
after an acquaintance of mora than seven
years with Mr. Bryan and a pretty close
aexuaintance with him, too, that in the
whole ranks of the Democracy, there was
not a man better equipped and more
worthy of nomination than be. He who
calls him an anarchist i a slanderer of
the vilest character. There is no man in
the state of Illinois who has a better moral
character than Mr. Bryan. There is
no man in the state of Illinois with
greater intellect or more moral courage,
He may not be an Abraham Lincoln, but
he has got all the elements that made
Abraham Lincoln great. If ho is elected
president he will see to it that there is fair
dealing; theie will be no bonds sold at a
discount to syndicate friends. I was de
lighted with his nomination and I shall
be greatly delighted with his success.

The threats of western secession were
hardly worth denying and none of
them were heard of in America."
"No doubt," said Mr. Herbert, 'some
of the gold Democrats will feel obliged
to vote for the Bryan ticket, because
Bryan carried the Chicago convention;
but many will not do so. In my opin
ion, the Bryan movement has reached
its height and is now declining.
"I should be sorry to say," Mr. Her
bert continued, "that the sUverites are
fanatics and fools. Many of them are
good men. But tbipk the silver party
is mistaken in its aims aad policy."
Mr. Herbert said that his official posj.
tion prevented him from speaking more
freely.

ChicaCK, Sept. 8. The crowd gath
ered at Sharpshooters' park, the spot
selected for the Labor day parade, very
slowly. At 1 o'clock there was probably
not to exceed 1,000 people around the
speaker's stand. Many of ' them were
ladies. After that time there was a
steady stream of people flowing into the
grounds and the available places were
soon occupied. At 2:30 a mighty shout
went up from the outskirts of the crowd
and there was a great rush for the caj
riage occupied by Mr. Bryan, which had
just then arrived within the' enclosure
of the park. Hundreds of people pressed
forward seeking to shake Mr. Bryan by
the hand, and the passage of the car
riage through the crowd was somewhat
slow in conseqnence. He finally reached
'the speaker's stand, where he was re
ceived with prolonged applause. On
the stand were seated Judge McConnell.
Judge Prentiss and a large number of
representatives of the trades unions of
Chicago. At 2:80 Mr. Bryan began his
speech, being introduced by Edward
Carroll, president of the building coun
cil in a brief and appropriate address.
Mr. Bryan began by extolling the value
of organized labor and showed how
great had been its benefits to the toilers.
His discourse soon took on a political
aspect. He said:
Let me dwell for a moment upon the
object of government. In this land it is
our boast that our government derives its
just powers from the consent of the gov
erned. What hind of government will
people consent to when they nre free to
consent? There is one kind of govern
ment above all other kinds that ihey love.
(A voicet "Bryan's government." Ap
'plause.) And a government which knows
no favoritism, a government in which
every person stands on the same plane,
and where tho government treats Ihein
all alike without regard to position in
society, or even without regard to wealth;
a government which gives equal i ights to
all, but confers special privilege; upon
none. (Applause.) (A voice: "Good boy.")
That is the kind of government that ap
peals to the affection of the common peo
ple. Ahaaaa of Govoranaeat.
I Our government is the beat form of gov
ernment knowu among men, not because
every law is good, not because wo have
upon the statute dooks every law needed
to protect each citizen in the enjoyment
a tils rltrht.). Our ffnrernmnnt Is llin hnat:
j toim of government known among men,
because it- is possible under our form of
government to have just as good govern
ment as the people deserve. Ours is the
best form of government becauso it is
possible for the people to make it reflect
the best intelligence, the highest virtue
and the broadest patriotism of all the peo
ple. Let me warn you against confusing
; government with the abuses of govern-
t ment. Andrew Jackson said that there
were no necessary evils in government;
that its evils existed only in its abuses.
tie was rignc, my inonas. anerc are no
necessary evils in government and no
man who understands the advantage of
government will ever raise his voice or
hand against government itself. It is the
abuses of government against which we
have the right to complain.
There are some who would silence every
criticism of existing law. There are
those who would denounce every one who
'advocates a change as a disturber of the
public peace. Thore are those who would
call him a disturber, one who breeds dis
content. I want to say to yoa that dlscon
toat lies at the foundation of all progress.
(Applause.) So long as you are satisfied
you never go forward. It is only when
you are dissatisfied with your conditions
that you try to improve those conditions.
Why, my friends, had our forefathers been
satisfied with English political supremacy
,we never would have had a declaration of
Indtpendenpe. (Applause.) They were
not content with the conditions under
which they lived and they put that ex
pression pf discontent in the form of a
deelaratlon of indspandenpe, and they
malntalnea that declaration with their
bison gad it gives us this form of govern-
nwhv. 2
j There is this dlffennoe between our form
of government and the monarchical. If
you are discontented under a monarchy,
hew can you get relief t You can petition,
.hat your petition may be disregarded. Dis
eatent under a monarchy may end in de
spair, or it may end in revolution, Dis
content under our form of government
ends in reformation through the peaceful
means of the ballot. (Applause.) ' I am
not going to violate the proprieties of this
occasion by entering into a discussion of
partisan questions, but I desire to call your
attention to pertain broad questions which
cannot be coafned by party lines. The
ballot is the means by which the psopls pf
this country must right every wrong, and
If the people have not the independence,
Jf they havetot the intelligence to right
their wrongs at tne nauot nox, they have
pot the courage to secure then rights in
'any other way, (Applause.! gufc my
friends, conditions arose in this country
jwhich make it impossible to use the bal
lot which they had. There were certain
influences so strong, so powereul, that
men were afraid to exercise freely and
upon their own conscience the political
rights given them under our institutions.
What did they dor
Origte of Aaatraliaa Ballot law.
I honor the laboring men of this coun
try, and organized labor standing at the
head of the laboring men (applause)
because they secured to the people of this
aountry an Australian ballot. (Applause.
.''TJijit ballot will put you in, too." Re
newed applause.) That ballot did not
come down to you from above; the ballot
istheresultec your own demand. It s
the result of your own influence. The
faberingnun today enjoys the advantage
of an Australian ballot because the labor
'tog men of this country compelled the
adoptipn of an Australian ballot law.
Kbw, my friends, among all the agencies
Which for the past few years have been at
work bettering the condition and protect
lng the rights f the laboring awn of this
country, 1 believe that tha labor organ
fautioas stand first among them aU. It
has brought them together where they
seasnlt with
Htm PPd compare their views,
they neahl nnjte toeir strength, where
they eoumnmke their tofneape efeettve
efforts to thank for such
'hlwestwaTs as he has secured..
. Now my fi lead,., some have criticised
labor organizations. (A voice "Banna.'.'
Applause.) There are some who believed
that bankja organisations are joint as
soemtattns; that' .managers .of railroads
should join associations; that everybody
was entitled to join an association except
the laboring man. (Applause.) The labor
ing nmn'a association has been the means
by which he has protected himself to hia
warfare against other organizations
among ether people. Now, my friends,
the labor organization has done much
of goad, and yet there is a good that
i society can do that will add toandsup-
I element the work of the laboring men
' themselves.
! BHIavw In ArhMratlon.
I want to speak of it here the principle
ef arbitration of differences between cor
porate employers and their employes.
. That principle has been forced upon the
' attention of,the American people. I be
lieve in arbitration. (Applause.) Arbitra
tion is simply the extension of the
Idea of tha court of justice. It
Is merely instituting a tribunal an Im
partial tribunal before which men may go
and settle their differences instead of re
sorting to violence to settle those dif
ference. Tou say the laboring men are
interested in arbitration. Yes, they have
so expressed themselves, but I want to say
to you, my fi lends, that society has a
higher interest even than the laboring
man in the principle of arbitration. So
ciety has a right to protect Itself against
these contests between labor and capital.
Society has a rlghtto say to both employer
and employe. Instead of asserting a right
or a claim and defending it by force, you
shall, to the interest of society, submit
that to an impartial tribunal and let jus
tire be done by those who can see both
sides. 1
Now, I appeal to you to take the Interest
to. the government that you ought to take.
I want you to take an interest In politics.
I am not here to tell you-what opinions
you should hold I am not here to sug
gest to you what measures would, in my
judgment, bring relief, but I .have the
right as an American citizen, speaking to
other American citizens I have a right,
I say, to beg of you that you shall recog
nize the responsibilities which rests upon
you as citizens and prepare yourselves for
the intelligent discharge of every duty
imposed upon you. My friends, if you
And a large number of men out of em
ployment, you have a right to inquire
whether idleness Is Inflicted upon the
human race by natural laws, by the act
of tho creator, or whether it is due to
legislation w hlch Is wrong. If from wrong
legislation then it is not only your right,
but your duty to change that legislation.
Orrataot Menace to Labor.
The greatest menace to the employed
laborer today is the Increasing army of
the unemployed. It menaces every man
who holds a position and if that army con
tinues to increase, it is only a question of
time when those who are, as you may fay,
upon the ragged edge, shall leavo the
ranks of the employed and join those who
are out of work. My friends, I am one of
those who believe that if you Increase the
number of those who cannot work and
yet must -eat, you will drive men to des
peration and increase the ranks of crim
inals out of those who would be earning
breed under better conditions. The New
York World of a few days ago editorially
complained of the increase of crime. My
friends, if you find crime increasing, if
you find idleness growing it is not a priv
ilege only, it is a duty that you owe to your
selves and to your country to see whether
you can change conditions and improve
the conditions that surround you.
Now, when you come to the ballot, I
want you to leniember that that ballot is
given to you not by any man who employs
you. That ballot was given to you by
law. You had it before he employed you;
it will be yours when your employment
ceases. You do not tell him that if he
does not vote according to your opinion
you will quit working for him; and yet,
you have just as much right to sjy that to
him as he has to you, that you have got to
quit working for him if you do not vote
the way he wants you to. My friends,
when I say this, I am not afraid of offend
ing anybody, because if thore is an em
ployer in this country 'who believes that
he has the right by paying wages, to con
trol the vote of those to whom the wages
go, I say, if here is such an employer, I
cannot offend him becauso that man can
not be offended by anything.
I cannot impress upon your minds any
more important truth than this, that your
ballot is your own to do with it what you
please, and there Is nobody that must bo
satisfied with your vote except your judg
ment and your conscience. (A voice:
"You will be satisfied.")
Just at this point the limb of a tree
broke down.
Don't worry, my friends. (A voice:
"They are coming down out of tho gal-'
lery.") He has not made the mistake that
some mako he docs not saw off the limb
that is under him as come men are trying
to do when they destroy the producer.
There is only one citizen in this country
who can prove himself unworthy of the
ballot which has been given to him, and
that if the citizen who either sells or per
mits it to be wrested from him under
coercion.

The Booth For Protection.
When the south depended upon the la
bor of its slaves and employed little or
no free labor, it was as earnest an advo
cate of free trade as is England today.
Now that it must report to free labor it
fs placed upon the same footing as north
ern producers, jt is compelled to pay a
like rate of wages for a day's work and
therefore demands protection against the
foreign producer, whose product is made
or grown by a cheaper labor. And we
find all through the south a demand for
protection to American industry against
a foreign competition, bent upon their
destruction and determined to possess
the' American market. Hon. William
