U enthusiasm Is the standard by vrhloh to
measure the success of n political roily , then
last evening's demonstration nl the Farnatn
Stcatcr was a stem-winding top-notchcr
amomi ; campaign gatherings. And It wasn't
the enthusiasm ot an open nir gathering ,
oltbor , for the audience was Iho peer , both lu
polni of numbers and make-up , of any that
over assembled to listen to a discus
sion of political issues in this city ,
t was , in fact. Just such an audience as it
was desired to have assemble to bear a
logical , dlspnssionato exposition of political
questions by a speaxcr who appealed to the
good Judgment and common sense ot his
hearers rather tbnn to their partisanship or
prejudices. It was u cosmopolitan crowd ,
withal It was an intelligent and sprlchtly
one. Thcro were employers and employes ,
merchants , bankers nnd professional men ,
skilled mechanics ana artisans , and tbo
ranks of moro uumblo labor were
by no means sparsely represented.
They were not there out ot curiosity , < is was
evidenced by the earnestness depicted on
Iheir faces. They were in oarnos't. They
wanted Information on questions of vital
Importance to themselves , and inoy gel it.
Tbo fair sex was out In numbers seldom
seoi on an occasion of this kind , and tbo
waving of fans and tno flutterieg of Howon
nnd equally cay colored ribbons that added
to tbo attracliveccss and Inspiration of Iho
PCCIIO that confronted the speaker of the
hour.
On the staeo.vcro seated Dr. S. D.
Mercer. Judge W. S. Ttrawn , Edward Kose-
wator. Dr. C. il. Plnney of Council UlufTs ,
Church Howe , \V. K Gurloy , Judge C. li.

Mr. Kiisuimtcr Addressed Them.
, ' 4 delay was occasioned by the non-arrival
of the Eighth ward Harrison nun Held club ,
which was busv with its ( lag-raising , nnd 11
was dually necessary to go ahead without
them , although when they aid arrive , with
their baud and pent-up enthusiasm , it was
necessary to suspend oil other operations
until they were seated.
Dr. S. D. Mercer , who presided over the
meeting , announced the cause of ihe delov
when the great assembly , bocan to get restless -
loss , and asked a little indulccnco , promising
a treat that would moro than malio up for it
after they finally got started.
Tbo uudcnco waited pailcnlly for a few
minutes and then vociferously culled for Mr.
Hosewutor , who stepped forward to say that
ho was not billed for tbo occasion , and didn't
want to occupy ihc time of tbo audience. Ho
stated , furthermore , that ihe gentleman who
would address them had made a special
study of the labor question and all the Issues
of tbo campaign now pending.
"I nm In the city nearly every day , " said
the speaker , "and will have occasion to en
tertain you several times during tbo cam
paign , more , perhaps , wiln the pen than from
tbo rostrum. I bavo couio up from tbo ranks
of labor and have risen to a position in your
estimation of something of a capitalist , while
I am a debtor of even greater magnitude. If
the government will turn out , a lot of monov
for every man , woman nnd child , and my
creditors will accent my share , t nm willing
it should do It. A body of men mot here ten
unys ago who think tbo government can
miiKo men rick without labor , and they want
the government to fix them out all
around. Some of them Ibinlc tbev wilt
bo satisfied with only ? T 0 per capita.
Now , if they could keep this money tnus
distributed for only ouo hour it would bo n
feat nobody clso on earth has ever per
formed or will over be able to perform.
Thcro is hardly any ono in this house who
couldn't spend his J.'iO in fifteen minutes. If
money was so distributed hero tonight , in the
morning some would have JWHJ anu others
would nave nothing.
'Anolner proposition that is very current
among these contiemcn is that tbcro ought
to be moro land , or rather thai il shall be
raoro evenly distributed. 1 asBod Allen
Hoot a short time ago how much of his land
ho was willing to glvo In order to even up
and I received no answer. Ho bud none
to pivo , nol even to tbo eighteen
others who usually go with dim.
It is easy to got up those fly paper platforms.
They hro gotten up to catch gudgeon , nnd
they catch all the discontented ones , all who
nro suffering from drouth , indolence , bolls or
anvthlng else. "
Tbo speaker said ho thought that Iho audi
ence should nol longer bo kepi waiting , and
resumed bis seat , leaving the andlonco in
excellent bumor.
Introiltirnil liy Dr. Morcrr.
In Introducing tbo speaker of the evening ,
Dr. Mercer said it was not often that the
citizens of Omaha bud an opportunity to lis
ten to a discussion of issues of national
Importance by a gentleman ot such
wide reputation , n reputation co-exten-
siva with civilization , and ho
took grout pleasure in Introducing
on this occasion Hon. Hoswell G. Herr of
Michigan , n writer on the New York Tri
bune , the napor owned and culled by Hon.
Whltoluw Held , the republican nominee for
v'co ' president nf the United Stoles.
As Mr. Herr arose ho was most enthusias
tically welcomed , nnd II was some llttlo time
before be was permitted to fully acKnowledge
Iho cordial greeting. And wnllo thus ex
pressing Itself , the audience did not neglect
to tnko menial note nnd measure of the ro
tund person , full benevolent features , and oven
tbo spreading gray chin whiskers of the emi
nent ceutlotnan from tbo Wolvrrlnn state.
Tbo Inspection resulted manlfeatly satisfac
tory to thorn , and at 8:15 : o'clock tha speaker
was allowed to proceed.
Mr. Herr said :
"Ladles and Gentlemen , and Fellow
Citizens : I purpose ibis evening to discuss
some of the questions about which sorao of
the people of Ibo United States differ. The
political parties do not agree as to tbo propur
policy of ihU government on certain vital
principles. I shall apeak from the stand
point of a republican , n I have boon a
republican all my It to. Out before I co >
inrnugh , if there nro any aomocrats In the
nudienci' , Ihoy will IbinK lhall know about
ru much about the democratic pnrty as they
would euro to have mentioned in a public
HKOCb | ,
"Tbo democratic party does nol bolluvo in
a protective tariff. Some of them believe in
n lanff for revenue only , wilb protoctlon as
an momenta ) result , Accldonlul would bo : i
butter word , for If the democratic policy over
benefited anybody It would bo entirely accl-
denial. Tba democrats do not like to bu
called free traders. They prefer lo bo called
lariff reformers. They line lo boar the word
reformer * , but thai carries my mind back
to Martin Luther and all that son of men ,
and when .you como to langlo Grover Cleve
land up wilh Martin Luther you are getting
things rather mixed , und so I call them frco
traders , not lo hurt their feelings , but to
save myself from mental confusion.
nin'urmii KluiU iif Protection.
"Thoro is no country that proceeds strictly
on the principle of free trudo
Great Britain levies a tariff on
articles that aba cannot ralso herself
Our protective tariff lovles duties on u plan
exactly opposite to that. Wo object to levy
ing duiiai on articles of necessity not pro
duced in this country , because that kind of a
duty Increases ( bo price of au article and
taxes the consumer , Tbo revoouo from such
a tariff uon.es out of tbo pockets of tbo com
mon people. The dutius on loa collected In
Grout llritaln last year amounted to
Srj.OOU.tXW. This was paid by the common
peoplo. Wo object to such a duly as ibis ,
und our policy of protection is to adm'.t tea
nud other necessities not produced In this
country free of duty.
' Tbo protective ayitoui Is to levy a duty
on articles which wo can produce in this
country. Our democratic opponents object
to this. They claim that a duty placed oil au
article that wo can produce bas exactly ttio
mine effect a oue levied ou au arttclo that
we cannot produce. That * , ho dutv I * added
to the price of the article and Impoverishes
the country.
llfTcct" of I'mlri'tlmi.
"Now , there are four natural results of our
system ot protection thai 1 want to call your
attention to. First , it bull.Is up new In
dustries nnd furnishes tabor for moro people ,
and this oven our frro trade fricnas cannot
deny. Wo not only do that but in the second
place we pay bettor wages than the laboring
people got In any other country on the face of
the globo. Once In n while wo dnd someone
ono wbo denies this , but it is tree
whether ho denies It or not. Then
some of our opponents claim that whtlo our
wages sound bigger , everything that a labor
ing man uses costs so much more that he can
buy moro in Europe with what be gets for
a day's work there than bo can
hero with our wages. I wonder if they
really bcllovo It , For it that is true tbo
worKlnguian in Europe is bolter off than the
workingman In America , and if that ts the
case what makes so many of them como over
hero ! I can understand how railroad and
steamship lines can concocl schemes io pro
mote Immlcration , but wnon they find what
turriblo country thev have como'to and com
pare their pitiful condition hero with the
elegant times they had over there , why don't
they go back ) Did you over hear of any of
them colng bacu , except some of those who
como over In the steerage and go back as
cabin passengers t Why , these people know
thai there Is no country In the world wboro
tbo working classc.3 nro so well off us they
are horo.
"Thn third polnl Is thai wo keep Ibo money
in this country. I don't need to argue thai.
If Iho money is kept bore , it Is hero. Tom
Hoed settled that point when ho decided
that when n member was in tbo house ho
was In Inn house. When wo produce the
goods in this country and sell them In this
country wo necessarily keep tbo money hero.
.Mtikri Tilings Clicupur.
"The fourth bcnetii which 1 claim is that
wo cheapen tno price of commodities. Now ,
some of our free trade frithds dispute this ,
nnd ono of Ibo things that Ihoy claim has
risen in prlco as ibe result
of the protective tariff is binding
twino. I have been out hero to Fremont
where they are manufacturing binding twlno
right under the guns of the McKmley bill.
They loll mo Ibal since the protective tariff
wen'- Into operation Ibo price ot binding
Iwino has boon reduced from 14 cents lo H'-j
cents u pound. Among all tbo articles which
have been produced under the protection of
the tariff I don'l know of a single article that
has uol been cheapened after wo gel fairly
lo work. When I was n boy wo couldn't get
a cascknifo to cat with that did
not bear the raarit , Shefl'.eld , Eng
land , ' nnd they were clumsy things ,
too. Tnoso knives cost moro than
the light nnd highly finished cutlery wo have
now , which is manufactured in this countrv.
A mowing blade , such ns 1 paid $1.40 for
when 1 was n boy , costs mo Co cents now ,
and u shovel that , used lo bo vvortn $1.2.1 Is
now sold for GO cents. There Is not u single
implement used on the farms in Ibo United
Status that has not been cheapened by pro
ducing il in our own country. Crockery
furnishes another case in point. Most of us
can remember when every piece of crookery
wo used bora tbo stamp of the lion
and the unicorn. If the republican
party has never done anything
clso to deserve the support of the people It
has made it possible lor a man to eat a
square meal without that English cbromo
staring him in tha face and it coats less than
half w'uat it did thon.
Watching Til fin 'Make Tin Plate.
"Now is there a single article that bas
nol been cheapened by tbo protcclivu tariff !
Somebody always says 'tin plate. ' They suy
thai there is no Un plate manufactured In
this counlry notwithstanding the lariff.
Bui they can't make mo believe that , for 1
have been in five different factories myself.
I have seen the sttel Ingots rolled
back and forth unlil tboy were re
duced to tbo required thickness , then
dipped in Ibo vats ot oil and iben in the vats
of tin that adhered to the steel , und then
burnished , cut and packed for shipment.
Tnoy would have to talk nn hour to make mo
believe that there is no tin pinto manu
factured in Ibis counlry. Wo have twenty-
two factories making bright tin and rooting
tin and forty-one others getting ready , and
before long wo will make one-third of all the
tin plato used In this country.
"But they say Ibat tbo article is not
cbeupcned. U is selling S ceuts a
pound cheaper in Omaha todav than it
ivas when' the McKinley bill passed ,
and wo have only begun to manu
facture it. Inside of two years wo
will make bolter tin und sell it cheaper than
over before , and still the democrats say wo
can't make Un plato.
CUM .Mnko Anything In Amurlrn.
"I bclievo thai we can make anything hero
Ibal can bo made anywhere on ibis earth.
They suid wo couldn't muee steel rails and
plate glass. They got quite religious over
the plato glass question. They suid lhal
God did nol intend ihal p'.ale glass should bo
made In this counlry. Tney roado Ibat re-
murk In congress , and we wondered how
they found it out. We doubled whether
their relations wilh Iho Infinite were
such as lo make them good author
ity on Goa'a ideas. Then they said
we could nol manufacture linen in ibis coun
lry. The fibre of Iho flax was not good.
But tboy bad been In this Ananias and Sap-
phi ra business so long that wo decided to try
it. We put a duly en linen goods und bulll
a mill at Minneapolis that cost $500,000 , and
when the convention that nominated tbo
next president und vice president of the
United Slates met there tbo convention hall
was carpeted with linen manufactured at
this very mill. 1 want to paste tne Ameri
can flag on to this 'luon and shako it in Iho
face of every frco Irader I meet.
"If you can produce uny article on Iho
other side of Hie ocean for less money than
you can In this countrv , it is because they
take Iho difference in price out of Ibo bo no
and sinew of the men wbo do the work.Vo
believe in protecting the man wbo do the
work.
"Again Ihoy sny that to manufacture tbo
goods In ibis country brings lu tbo pauper
labor of Europe. I will Join bands with liny
free trader hero to prevent Ibo dumping ot
crlmo and imioranca on our shores , bul I am
disposed to welcome Iho honest man wilb
a day's work in him nud remember lhal
some of Ibo rest of us haven't been here
such a great while ourselves.

"And now I want to talk especially to tbo
working-men a llttlo while. All prouerly

"In primitive days I suppose all the animals

fruit il became bis own. Water ts the com

and there is n mortgage on it , but I
put it there myself , Tncro are sorao cnsn
where a mortgego is Riven lo cscapo from
sotua pressing waul , but In ntno cases oul often
ton it is put there because the owner be
lieves that ho can Improve himself by doing
it , and tno money is obtained to effect some
Improvement that bo regards us n judicious

"Another cry is mndo that wo want moro
money ; that tbo country Is going to tno dogs
and the ouly way out is for the government
to manufacture what money wo need. This
whole effort comes from the mistaken notion
that the government creates money. In
coses of necessity it can Issue notes and
make the people take them , bul will nnyot.o
claim that , this should bo tosortcd to lu times
of pcaco nnd prosperity I Some time
ago the government made the yard
stick measure thirty-six Inches. They
might change 11 to two and ono half fcot if
they wanted to. Now our greenback frlonds
practically assort thai the government can
not only make two and ono half fcot n yard ,
but make the two and ono half foot as long ns
throe feet. The government can produce
money but it cannot create value. It cost
Ibis notion a good deal to put down tbo rebel
lion wilh a depreciated currency. It was a
"
casn of stern necessity. Tbo" republican
party has mndo every dollar of tbat money
as good as any other dollar , and wo Intend to
keep It thai way. You cheapen the
dollar and tbo man wbo feels it first
is tbo man wbo labors. Some of us
can remember back In the fifties whun wo
had money galore , and when we took n dollar
lar wo didn't know whether it would bo
worth a cotit the next day or not ,
Shrti'kx of the t'lihimltlstti.
"Now , how does it como about thai the
people of Ibis nation follow off tbeso pepplo
who are trying to make us believe that
everything is going to ruin } It is because
they are prone to reason from n few Isolated
Instances and form senoral conclusions. It
is tbo same as assuming lhat because a
preacher Is once In a while guilty of ssme-
IhlPg wrong the wbolo class nro unworthy ;
tbat because there Is a cnso where a mother
bas abused her child that there is no moro
any such n thing as mother love.
I oflcn woudor what kind of a history
Brother Weaver or Brother Van U'yck
would have written of Job nnd his troubles
with bolls. Job was n Chaldean and I sup
pose Ibat lo read their history you would
think that tbo whole Cbuldefc nation was
one great carbuncle. Thai Is just Iho wav
Ihoy do It. If ihero Is a hard frost they Inj-
tt to Ibo McKiuloy bill. If n cyclone comes
they sny it is another 'republican ticket. '
They co about tntng to taako everyone dit-
sutistlcd , lo make us beiievo that this is tno
meanest nation on tbo' glebe for a working
man lo llvo In.
"Lol us stand In thl ? coming great fight
by the party thai has over stood bv ' labor ,
by the party that does everything it' can to
build up our industrles.'that stands by the
government and stood by It when il wcs in
peril. I can refer to , this because Grover
Cleveland nud I served 'iu ' the same brigade
during the war. W < 9 both belonged to Ibo
homo guard. But wo quTer in this , that I
would not have vetoed the pension bills Ibat
gave old lo Iho boys who d4d so much for the
nation. "
Mr. Horr's address occupied an hour and
three-quarters and hold tbo closest attention
of the audience throughout. Ho concluded
amid n storm of apolause , and Ibo audicnco
dispersed while Ibo band rendered a seleo-
Uon.

Just as tbo sun shod its setting rays over

"Vou cannot teach your children a bolter

them la lovu ibo flag and you may rest as
sured tbat they will grow up und become
American citizens lu every sense of the

"There Is nothing tbat I can soy upon tbU

"GoJ pity the American who does not love

"Tonight repubhran bands hare raised
