O THE OMAHA DAILY BEEt STTiNDAY , OCTOBER 34. 1894.
hgatitsvho "will betray Iho people to serve
you In the future to reward them for per-
flclf to the people In the past"o ! stand for
our civilization against all comers ! Either
the corporations Bhall rule this state the next
two yearn with corruption Installed upon the
throne of power , or the people ( hall do no In
th4 purity and simplicity ot llio fathera In
which our foundations wtro Uld ,
To the great middle class citizens of this
state You who seek neither offices , nor fran
chises , nor plunder : who are content to live
hdhwtly nnd faithfully ; who love this country
and Its flag ; nro wo not entitled to hontst
Korernmcnt In Nebraska ! Can't we afford ItT
Why should wo nllow ourselves to bo fright-
cned by the nolso and clamor of banks and
railroads turned "calamity howlers ? " who
ask us to pull their chestnuts out of the fire ;
to" oect ! their servants to oOlca to destroy
us forsooth , to preserve "tho credit of the
itate" the good name of Nebraska ! "
TIME FOR TUB GIANT TO AWAKE ,
To our best citizenship ; Is It not tlmo you
turned round and stopped this anarchy ?
What anarchy Is there so hateful , so de
structive and ruinous , as that of the banks
and railroads who corrupt our legislatures
and defy our laws ? It Is this that makes the
other kind of anarchists those of tlio bomb
add red flag ! Let us down with anarchy by
making the corporations , Shu bankers nnd
railroads obey the lawsl Let us not give
them Immunity for their crimes. They must
bo made by you the Krent middle class , the
great citizenship of the slate to take- their
place as servants at the master's table ! We.
the people , are not to be farmed out as the
operatives of these corporations ns wo were
cattle ! Their eagerness to fatten upon the
stlbstanco of the pcoplo must bo curbed. What
Is'your duty In reference to the great labor
ing o'asscs ' , the poor and the Ignorant ! Will
you let thorn see that our best citizenship Is
coming to the relief of the situation In that
you shall decree , that the laws shall be obeyed
by nil ! Think of It , In candor and serious
ness. The laboring men today see their
champions In their contests with capital un
der Indictment and being sent to jail for
violating laws by corporations , which dally
Vln'ato the laws nnd defy the courts and cap
the fountains ot Justicennd of pure citizen
ship , and whoso 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
an the sidewalk and cat the soles ot their
shoes for their br.cakfast , Ihclr dinner and
Supper. To the rich violator of law and
dcspollcr of justice la given the freedom of
the earth to his family Is. brought rare food
and rich raiment from the east nnd 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 ot 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 !
'Theso corporations Jell 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 to a democrat , 01
republican , or any sort of partisan whatso
ever , on the great Issue which Is the only
Usuo In our state politics namely : Shall
wo have honest government In Nebraska ?
Neither the republican nor democratic par
ties 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-
cornb. True , the democrats have named
him , but It was by the real nnd 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
ncit our masters ! The kingdom la at hand ;
tlio kingdom of the people Is at hand !

Opened the BopuUican Campaign Before a

PROSECUTED A SELF-CONVICTED OFFENDER
Out of the Mouth * of Their flrrnt r.rndcrs
tlio Ucniocrntlo I'lirty Stnniln Con
victed HMO I'lclura at
its Work.
NEW YORK , Oct. 13. Thomas , n. Heed of
Maine opened the republican campaign In
New York state tonight before a great audi
ence at Cooper union. The "czar" was In
magnlflcent voice nnd his address was re
ceived with the wildest enthusiasm. Sir.
Hoed spoke as follows :
"I confess to a sense ot unwillingness to
come before this great audience hero tonight.
That unwillingness does not nrlse from any
lack o Interest in the cause which concerns
us all , for I never felt a deeper Interest
than now. Nor does It arise from any doubt
o our success , for that seems to be assured.
H l because the presentation of any argu-
tnent by any speaker seems almost entirely
unnecessary. The case has argued and Is
arguing Itself so thoroughly in the course
of events now taking place , and which have
taken place , that the eloquence of an orator
tor , if I had It , would surely seem to fall
far short of that conviction which has al
ready taken possession of the public mind.
"Tho task of the republican orator was
never more dlfucult. What would be the
state of mind of any counsel for the plalntln
called upon to address the Jury when the de
fendant's attorney had fully confessed his
client's guilt and had overwhelmed him with
nil the reproaches and epithets and de
nunciations of which the language wag capa
ble ? Ills occupation would be absolutely
gone. I have been In the habit for tome
> ars of speaking of the democratic party
In terms which seemed to mo to bo Just , but
which the members of it have not found
satisfactory , and yet I never dreamed words
nbotit the party or Us chief equalling those
which have been shouted in speeches by great
democrats from Maine to Texas , and Italicized
In much letter writing by a very exalted pub
lic functionary. 1 should never have
dreamed of charging the senate of the "United
Slates , though of another political party ,
with perfidy and dishonor , nnd yet that Is
only a portion 6f the epithets which were
chosen by the chief magistrate of ther own
selection. When I saw the senator from
Maryland In the senate chamber with , uplifted
right hand successfully call witness after
witness to prove that their party chief had
beculled them Into the passage of the very
bill he BO bitterly denounced. ! I thought
how far short In the last campaign I had
fallen of depleting actions liable to result
from the supremacy of the party to which
I was opposed.
LAYING ASIDE PARTISANSHIP.
"It Is because I am sure from outward
nnd visible signs , notably from the elections
In Vermont and Maine , that men are laying
aside their partisanship and nro willing to
do their share toward saving the country ,
that I am willing to lay aside mine and dis
cuss on reasonable terms vhnt is best to do
here and , now for the common Interest. When
In politics n great mistake has been made ,
so great that all men can see It , partisanship
can bo laid aside and the case can bo stated
without exaggeration of the merits of your
own side or abuse of the other. Of course ,
man , ever fails to be perfectly fair this side
of the river of death , for prepossessions and
Ilfo associations can never be entirely over
come , but there arc times when men whenever
never before acted together can think alike
These times are shown by the actions of
men and not by their speech.
'VMalno Is a state where democracy Is
rock-ribbed and ancient ns the sun , and yet
In Maine the democracy so expressed , them
selves that the tidal majority ot 27,000 given
yeara ago , when the deepest depression , the
result ot the war , rested on the democratic
party , was exceeded by 11,000. I do not
think you realize what that majority means.
If Now York state were to Rive 300,000 It
would hardly exceed It ; 75,008 would repre
sent only the Increase. None of us expected
such a majority. There- was no special or
ganization. The democrats , dld it them-
selves. Many of them voted with us and
very many more staid at homo , 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 n sensible course
of action , well founded , and one which ought
to bo followed by their brethren In New
York and all over the union ? ' " What Is the
present condition elf things and what ought
wo ns sensible men to want ?
"Tho past fifteen months have been months
of suffering In the houses of the people. Not
starvation ; not deprivation of absolute neces
sities of life , 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 , Bf com
forts to which we have been accustomed.
I will draw no picture of Idle 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
tariff which now exists nny more than they
can to the tar I ft 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 tlmo the
so-called house bill was pending , men could
only fear for the worst , for the houw bill
was about the worst thing which the unwis
dom of man ever devised In these late yeara
of Christian civilization. This bill went to
Iho senate , many a democrat 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 bad actions of the senate ,
and they were many , they saved the demo
cratic party from annihilation. Why do
you suppose these senators , these democratic
senator. ? , made G30 amendments to the house
bill ? Was It out of pure , premeditated
wickedness or was it on the demand of their
constituentst Did the Junior senator from
New York hang out for collars and cuffa by
the direct Instigation of the devil or because
he lived in Troy ? Did Senator Smith rescue
some of the manufacturers ot New Jersey
because the ( lend whispered Into his. ear or
because he heard the human voice of
his constituents ? Hut I did not come
here to discuss the relative merits ot Mr.
Wilson's or Mr. Gorman's system. Doth
were democrats. Nor do I care to discuss
the merits of either bill , So far as It pro
tects reasonably American Industries all Is
well ; so far as It does not , all la wrong to
iny thinking , but It Is the law of the land ,
Hot with my consent , nnd ( or that matter
not with the consent of the democratic can
didate for governor.
CUnSG OP UNCERTAINTY.
"There Is also another fact. So long as
Mr. Cleveland stays In power the evil cannot
be rectified , What , then , remains Is not
for the republican party or the democratic
party , but for the people ot the United
States tc do.
"It Is not necessary. In order to nrrlvo nt
a proper conclusion , to discuss or to decide
which party Is best or which la worst.
Would the success of the democratic party
this fall produce certainty ? Let us tee what
they ay themselves. If they , the leaden.
lie , 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
chairman of the ways and means committee ,
who wis 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 boute adjourned , amid
the cheer * of the democrat * , that the fight
was but begun. Mr. President writes to Mr.
Catching * that this U only the vantage
ground for a new attack. Mr. Hill declares
only the citadel has b en carried nd that
ho Is going back for the rest of the town.
These men seemed backed up by
alt the official democratic ; power.
The democratic press seemi vltli them
It does look as if the. only men tit the
democratic party who naro any disposition
to ovui their work are the senators from
Maryland , Ohio and N'e-.v Jersey , and they I
I&n I
&n being hooted at In nil democratic conven
tions In tha country , nnd where , as In Ohio ,
they ' were not maligned In set terms , the
presiding ofBccr proclaims the doctrine of
'renowed war , ' of 'vantage ground for now
attack , ' nnd such unwholesome advice.
atlN
NO ( HOPE FOR QUIET IN DEMOCRACY ,
"It is pretty evident , then , to any sensible
mail that quiet nnd certainty are not to be
hoped for In democratic success. On the
other hand , the republicans nro forced into
such a position that they must for the next
two years give to business that certainty
which It must have to do anything success
fully. Wo could not make nny change for
the better from our point of view , because
Cleveland nnd the senate could oppose us.
\Yo certainly should not da anything ta maka
the tariff worse , for that Is contrary to our
principles. To sum It all up In a word , wo
appeal to bunlncas men , nnd by business
men I mean almost the whole people , the
democratic party premiers war on business
certainly , while the republicans will give
you rest. We do not promise you prosperity1 !
for these conditions are not of our choosing.
\Vo do not recommend the senate bill. It
was not of ourenacting. Dut it is very cer
tain that if there is any good In It , the
only way to get al It Is to glvo It a chance.
Of course , business In this country must revive -
vivo to some small degree If wo can have
peace. H cannot stay where It Is now , un
less American enterprise Is 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 wo shall
loirn at the costly ochool of experience , and
perhaps Icarri" enough to pay the cost of
tuition.
"Wo shall learn among other things to
avoid the chairman of the ways nnd means
committee and his entire school as men who
are pursuing a by-gone dream.
SOURCE OP INSPIRATION.
"Perhaps , however , he meant to refer to
the condition , of this country the last year
and a half ; perhaps this wonder nnd Inspira
tion came from" the deserted wprkshops , im
pending cuts of wages , struggles'between em
ployers nnd workmen. Perhaps in cloudland
there Is something cheering In the "fact that
only 1,100 miles of railway were "built the
flrst nlne months of this very year of our
IMTU , 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 ID trainmen. In new buildings , in
extensions , In engines and cars. In a word ,
the vtorklngmen 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 ho can really
long to stir up strife , so aa to prolong such
a lovable condition of human affairs. Hut
this world , wedded to material good , will
think otherwise and long for the better days
gone by.
"Education Is tlio necessity of the human
race , not bock education , but education In tlio
working of human affairs. My best con
solation In these times Is that some lessons
arc ] 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 aa to the
foundation of things. Perhaps the knowledge
which comes to us comes fast enough for
oractlcal life. When , years agoo 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
gifts to enterprise of which our country Is
co full. I should not be for it If 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 , ' I should not demand Its retention.
PROSPERITY BUILDS UP FORTUNE.
It is perfectly true that prosppr.ty of nny
kind leads to large fortunes for those 1vho
have the genius to organize great enterprises ,
but this Is the casa everywhere. Sir Joseph
Whllworth , the great * steel manufacturer in
England , 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 I own up
to the same envy that afflicts my brethren
of those w'io ' are better off than myself , is
that all those riches ore 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 cornea
from a Pennsj-lvanla worklngman who de
clared before the committee of ways and
means that If congress would only pass taws
which / wouldenable * enterprise to make
profits the worklngmen would see that they
got their 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 Is the price of the goods and the
consequent profits.
"The only way thus far discovered lo dis
tribute consumable and enjoyable wealth Is
first to give the chance to create It , ' and
then let each fildo struggle for Its .share , I
do not say that thU Is all the way there over
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 you 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 IKJ
watched. I have no such motive. My
motive Is the good , selfish one , that such dis
tribution leads to general prosperity , of which
I 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 that ?
From the rich and the poor , from he who Is
rich a little , from the poor much. If you
were to give mo alone for myself a million
dollars. I 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 n million dollars , dis
tributed among you all , every cent of It
would bo spent , none In looms , In machinery ,
but In the product ot looms and machinery.
This U what makes the market , will eh Is the
motive power of production ; not the largo
contributions ot the few , but the small con
tributions of the many. This largo market
also makes legitimate cheapness. I cay
legitimate cheapness , for a cheapness with
no money to buy Is a mockery to the soul ,
whllo cheapness with good wagea Is the delight -
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 thlng-s ,
and the great fact that gocxl wages , so far
from being lioatlle to their progress. Is Its
very foundation. When manufacturers all
see their Interest that way we shall - witness
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
tension of business and not from the diminu
tion of wagea ,
CAUSE OP TUB ERROR.
"One thing which , led this country into
the error of 1S92 was the history of the
last thirty years. During all that tlmo we
had been prosperous , wages had Increased ,
BO all parties Hgreein the ratio of from JI
to $1.71 , BO that whoever got | 1 In
ISGO , got In 1S31 , for the name work , 11.71 ,
nnd that ? 1.71 bought nearly at much as
$2 did when the -world wns thirty
years younger. The generation which lived
under R. J. Walker and James Uuchanan
liad passed away. A new generation had
come , llavlnj , ' lived all their Urea is pros
perity with Increasing wages , people came
lo 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 tlowly crept Into the minds ot all
the people that there may have been come
brains put Into the government of this coun
try during Its thirty years ot prosperity ,
that all this happened not by luck and
chance , but t > y good management and sound
Ideas ,
"I urn not gotnn to enter Into any pane

nko them. They are never redeemed. We
epubllcans cannot compete ) wo try to pay

annot afford to swap paper with a man who
oesn't pay.
NO DISRESPECT FOR INDIVIDUALS.
"In saying what I have said about the
l , ' omocratlc party I mean no disrespect to
, ndlvlduals. I da not claim that wo are
nuch better as indllvduals than they , pcr-
iapa not at all , except in the average , and
small average al that. 'Why Is it , then , If
ho Individuals nro good the party Is bad ? '
aid a democrat to me. The answer Is sltti-
le enough. A party Is madeup for an ou-
cct , to do something or stop something , or
norely to criticise the other party. That
ist function the democratic party performed
-rctty - well , a little hysterical and Inconsls-
ent , perhaps , but vigorous and omnipresent.
Jut when It came Into power the trouble
legan. It had to get somewhere , not stand
in the sidewalk and find fault with the drlv-
ng , Now the. finest Individual horse that
vas ever put Into a team would never get
mywhere If they all pulled in opposite tll-
cctlons. They could only smash the wagon ,
'hat ' is what the democratic party has done.
They have smashed the wagon , and the only
'cmedy ' they propose is to banish from alt
'uturo harness , the men who , while they
mvo acted badly enough in some respects ,
mvo saved all the pieces there are left of
ho wreck. Now would It not bo belter on
ho whole to have the next wagon carried
o Its next stage with some horses that can-
lot break It up ?
"You will notice that I have not discussed
he present tariff act , the much denounced
enate bill. I do not propose to discuss It.
'Imo will do that. The vice president of

larty very much over free lumber nnd un-

ho prediction that the Kansas and Nebraska
armors will have no cheaper homes. In the

dictate the price except at the borders ,

Inhi he does ndtdaJet will be far from n
tappy one. But fjj Is"of no use to discuss
the bill. If we could come Into power and
rectify It , It might ba well for all the peo-
PiSI lo to have all the Information possible.
Since the enemy have " the executive all hope

Experience may teach ' us more fully than
reason , and whllDt'weiimay view with a cad
anticipation the Ussendd wages nnd the dl-
ntnlshed business.We . may console ourselves ,
since nothing but consolation Is left , that
iust action next 111119will rest upon the
" : > road basis of full popular knowledge.
EFFECT Ol * EXPERIENCE ,
"One striking example of the effect of ex
perience Is se n In the very bill before us.
You all remember how the tlrf plate duty
was talked about. It was said to be the
'culminating outrage of class legislation , ' as
a direct attack upon the dinner pall of the
worklngman. Now what did democracy do
with this ? They did rot protect it , but
they tried to do it. Instead of abolishing all
duties , as they tried to do In the Fifty-first
congress , nr even restoring the duty ot 1S83 ,
they raised the duty of 1SS3 one-fifth of a
cent. This shows much change In mind ,
When democratic reformers find a largo In
dustry In their district It Is surprising how
sweetly they smile on what would be 'rob
bery1 in somebody else's district.
"Hut I had not finished what I had to Eay
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 nol
one word to say. I wish her all the pros
perity which belongs to the rest of the
union. Wo 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 ant
by the protection of rice showed how willing
wo were to help build up the south. The
south In tlmo will right Itself. The good
work has begun in Louisiana and wl !
spread.
"I have said nothing of your local Issues ,
I did not mean to , If you dcslro this
state again In the hands of the official who
rewarded that unjust Judge whom you your
selves have condemned and pUnlshed 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
opinion , with no right to Interfere- , But as
a 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
rise with all the power nnd majesty of the
Empire state end help us sweep out of place
and posit-on these who have assumed the con
trol of a great government without either the
courage to conduct It manfully or the wis
dom to preserve It from ruin.

EVANSVILLE , Ind.,0ct. 13. General Hnr-
Ison appeared at the- breakfast table tlay
right and early , ready for another day of
pccchmaklng1. At 9 n. m , the special train
caring him and his party left over the Air
ino for Indianapolis , Stops were made at
Jew Albany , Jcffcrsonvllle , and other points
Where meetings had been nrnnged ,
HUNT1NGBURO , Ind. , Oct. 13. General
larrlson's train wa met by crowds at all
tvay stations today as yesterday. The first
top was at Uoonevltlcv where nn enormous
: rowd had assembled to greet the ex-prcsl-
ont and to cheer htm on hl way. The beati-
Iful morning1 had made It possible for people
o como In from the country , and farmers
made up a largo port of the audience to
vhlch ho talked. Ho said :
"I congratulate you upon the Improved
weather conditions that we are having this
morning' . The friends I had the pleasure ot
meeting yesterday were standing In the drip ,
> nt things are better today , and that
s the order of things ; sunshine comes bo-
ere the rain , and it comes afterward. We
re here this morning In a country where
hero Is about us everythlg In soil , In climate
and Institutions to nmko men happy nnd
irosperous. Wo como from varied pursuits
n life , but no man Is distinguished from nny
other man by any titles that hf can pass to
ils children. He may have been a Justice
f the peace or a representative In the Icg-
s In Ui re or a congrcsman 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
nstitutlons Is that they give every man a
chance. They do not put any weights on
ilm. They opn the contests nf life broadly
or him , and equip him for It by the magnifi
cent provision which our common schools
.fford for his education. Every man tma to
ncko Ills way , nnd I am glad it Is so. Same
ot these pioneers , who are hero today , came
o this region when It was unsettled. They
ellcd the trees , or deadened them. In order
o lot .In a little sunshine that the crops
night grow. Now the trees are gone , nnd
ho stumps are out of the way , and the chil
dren como Into Improved heritage. Wo all
lice to give our boys and our girls a little
> ettor chance In life tlmn we , ourselves , had ,
and most of us are able ta do It. These
lilngs arc largely dependent upon ourselves ,
nit , after all this Is said , everybody must
admit that the legislation of the national
; overnment upon several Important subjects
jias a direct bearing upon the prosper
ity of the pcoplo. There can bo 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
he entire business ot thecountry. . It may
affect It favorably or unfavorably. Now , my
countrymen , we had , two years ago , good
Imcs. I know somci otour democratic friends
are trying to make it appear that they were
not GO very good , and that , times since have
: ot been so very bad. You know whether two
years ago things were not really In a highly
prosperous condition In this country , and
know what wo have gone through since.
: think every man who will let his mind run
over the question will see that tlita whole
year's agitation of the tariff question , this
proclamation that duties were to bo cut
down all along the line , this uncertainty that
was Injected Into every business pursuit , thai
these have been the things that have para-
yzpd.American tradoand brought dismay and
distress to all our communities. "
AT LINCOIN'S DOYHOOD HOME.
At Lincoln City , the boyhood home of the
great emancipator , and the place where Lin
coln's mother la buried , General Harrison
spoke for ten minutes. His speech was the
: ratorlcal gem of the trip thus far. Ho said
In part :
"My fellow citizens : . I am glad to stop this
morning near the home where our Abraham
Lincoln spent part ot his boyhood. You will
miss your chance If you do not Improve the.
tact of your residence' In the neighborhood
of this Interesting spot by giving a thought
ful study to the life of Lincoln. Who weuld
liave supposed , what prophet would have pre
dicted , such a career to the boy as ho 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
wilt continue to bo so as long as the country
lasts. 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 ot 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 , Tlmt was not Lincoln's
habits. He had n great love for his fellow
men. I remember once when a delegation
of worklngmen 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 ona for your
self , ' There was great good sense in that
remark , and the man will be- happier and
more successful In his life who takes philoso
phy to heart. "
At Hunttngton another large and enthu
siastic crowd greeted General Harrison. He
spoke about twenty minutes , amid great np
plause. From hero the train sped on , making
stops at English , Corydon Junction , New
Albany and Jeffersonvlllo , nt each of which
places there were applauding multitudes .
awaiting htm. ThU afternoon ho will pass
north over the J. M.L. . road , making several >
oral stops , and reaching Indianapolis about
7 o'clock.
WHAT IS THE TARIFF QUESTION ?
What Is the tarllt question after all ? It la
In Its essence this question , whether we will
retain our own market so far as wo can , so
that the things we wear shall be ma'de by
American hands in America , oil whether we
will so frame our tariff that the thlngt we
wear shall be made by English hands In
England , or German hands In Germany ,
do not doubt , at all , that If we were to reduce
wages In the United States to the same love'
that prevails in European countries wo coult
produce many things In competition with
them , but all these worklngmen with us
are American citizens , they are all voters
they are the men upon whom our Instltntlons
rest , and no cannot afford to have a great
class ot despairing men , who live In poverty 1
all the days of their llyes , 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 , nt 12 years o ;
age , to doing It without any betterment o
lot. If we are to have men upon whom re
publican Institutions can safely rest. If wo are
to bavo men who , in time of war , will bring
their strong arms and courageous hearts to
the defense ot of the. flag and the constltu
tlon , e must hare a population that are llv
Ing comfortably , wo must have homes that
have hope as an abiding guest , Tliese pro
tective Duties tend to that end. I do not say
that the tariff l 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 It under IB tha
he docs not know how many acres of whea
other farmers are going to sow this year. He
cannot tell what tbo foreign harvests will bo
These things affect favorably or unfavorably
the prices , but the point I want to make la
that the farmer sells 05 per ccmt of all the
produce of his farm hero at home , and that Is
the market lie wants to look after. If men
are getting good wagea. they live well. We
may think a man will eat about so mucl
bread every year anyhow , but in that wo a
are greatly mistaken. This past year has
shown how largely tbo buying power of our
people lias been reduced by reason of the fac
that so many were out of employment ant
their wages cut off. I Icnve to you this
thought this morning , as farmers , as mer
chants , as worklngmen In these mines am
factories that are scattered throughout your
country ; Wo want to preserve a dais o
workmen , with wages enough lo live comfort
ably , and wagea enough to lay by a llttlfr for
old age and to nlve to the children a little
better chance than the father bad , If we
can do that nothing can thali ? the sura re
pose of his grand republic we lore. Its pee
plo will bo happy and contented , nnd the land
till of prosperous homes , "
At the manufacturing town ot New Albany
a great crowd mot him at Iho stntlon and
escorted him to the stand , where ho spoke
'or forty mlnutos.

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 left 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 VI
cumulated , the warrants covering the amount
being marked "not paid for want of funds , "
and drawing ; 7 per cent Interest. Ho gave fig
ures to show that Nebraska pays heavier
taxes than other states , except Nevada. Ho
referred to Governor Crounse's proposed
methods of meeting these warrants , the last
ot which was to curtail expenses so that the
money drawn from taxes , would eventually
pay the debt. He then said he favored most
rigidly nn economic state government , to the
Injury of no one , but BO that no dollar should
be wasted. The Judge reviewed the "credit
if the state" matter and ehowed up the fal
lacy of charging to Ills election the posslblo
Injury of the state's credit , and made that
charge very ridiculous. Ills manner is that
of a plain , unassuming , honest man , who
