-fca-a THE .PITTSBURG DISPATCH, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 9, 189L 2 of tho world shall have fcy concurrent action fixed the ratiobetwccngold and silver: 'The Republican party stands, .therefore, for a dollar worth 100 cents whether it shall ho gold, silver, or paper money, "nnd approves of the legislation of the last Congress which requires tho Government to buy. 4,500,000. ounces of silver every month nt,its market value, and that is a littlo more than the en tire silver product of the United States, nnd for everv dollar's worth of silver thus pur chased tho Government issues a Treasury note which snail be legal tender forall debts, public and private, and redcomablo in coin at the will of the holder upon presentation to the Treasury or the Untied States. The Treasury note thus isued has behind it a dollar's worth of silver purchased in the markets or the world at tho market value thereor. Under the silver legislation or 1S78 Congress required the Government to lmv nnd coin not less than 2.000,000 silver doll.trs every month, which silver dollars area lesrai tender, and tho silver bought by the Government n as bought in the markets of the w orld according to its market value. The difference between the commercial value of the silver hich is in a .silver dollar and the coin valno of the silver dollar went to the credit of the treasury of tho the United State. What the Sliver Producers Want. The -ilver in the silver dollar averaged to the Government rrom SO to SI cents on every dollar, and the Government puts its stamp upon M cento worth of silver and made it a legal tender for ICO cents, and the difference betweeen what tho Government paid for that sllverand tho Jaco value of that silver dollar went to the credit of the United States and the benefit of the American peo ple, and in the 12 vears we coined tinder that law. $f.7,0O0,(O0 of pro tit, or seignoragc, orpnin went to the credit of the Government, nnd for the benefit or the 63 OuO.OOO of people. Free nnd unlimited coinage of silver would give the profits to the silver producers of the world instead of to the Government of the United States. You can buy to-day 371i grains of pure sil ver -which constitutes tho silver dollar ron can buy it in the markets of the world to-day for 76 cents. Free nnd unlimited coinage invites the silver producers of tho world to bring their 70 cents wortlrof silver to the mints of the United States, tho'Gov ernment agreeing to coin the silver Into a silver dollar, and bv its fiat compel its peo ple to take it for 100 cents, nnd the differ once between 76 cents, which is thenrico of silver to-day. and 100 cents, which Is the face value of the "ilver dollar, would go into the pockets of the silver kings of this conntrv and of the silver kings of the world, nnd ir we had free and unlimited coinage in tho last M j ears the ?67.POO,000, w hich was the seignorage or gain to the Government, would have been divided among the slver prodnccis of this country and the silver producers of the world. roslllon of the Hcpnbllcin Party. The Republican position is that if there is to be any profit in this matter of money making, thaturoflt should go to the Govern ment of the United States, and not to any class of our citizens or any silver producers anyw hero in the world. Applause. When we sell our labor, or onr crops, wo want to get for it a money that is as good as the thing we give for that money, and we want the thing we get to be unvarying in value not only good to-day, lint good anv day of the every week of every year. Not only good In the UnitcdStates,butgood wherever trade goes. Cries of "good" and applause. In a word, e want no short dollar, we want no short weight and wo want no short measure. Wiien the fanner sells his hu-hcl of -wheat he Is required to give a fnil bushel in measure. When he gets his pav he Is entitled to have a full dollar in value. Cries of "That is itV and applause. A short dollar always falls most henvilj upnn the poor. The rich can take care of themselves. They hoard the best money and pav out the poorest which will pass cur rent under the law. Why there is a general notion that if we had free and unlimited coinage of silver that -ne would have more money in the United States. Instead of hav ing more ninnev we would have less money, for eveir dollar that is worth 100 cents would go out of circulation at tho very ap pearance of a silver dollar that was worth but 76 cents, for I will tall you a 100-cent dol lar won't keep company with an )-cent dol lar. The Lessons of Experience. It never has and it never will. Applause. And if there is anything we have a right to demard ot our Government it is that the dollar that the Government issues shall be fixed and unvarj ing in value, and represent a full dollar in every mart and marketln trie w oi Id. Governor Campbell said in one of his speeches the other day that I had voted for free and unlimited coinage or silver. So I did. In 1-77 I voted to reinstate the ancient silver Collar to its place as a part of the coin age or the United States. Silver had been stricken from our coinage in 1S73, stricken l)J both political parties, the one just as re Fionihle for it as the other, and in 1S78, be ing in favor of both gold and silveras money to be kept at parity one with the other. I oted tor the restoration of the silver dollar. When I did it e had but 8OU),0O0 of silver dollars in circulation. -When I did it -ilver was more valuable than it is to day. We ha e 403,030,000 or silver dollars to day, and that lsa much as we can maintain nt par with cold with the price or silver that prevails throushout the world. Governor t'nniphcll and I voted together more than once in the Conirress of the United States. In Js'iJ the Governor voted against freo nnd unlimited coinage of silver. He is for free nnd unlimited coinage of silver now. Laughter and applause. He voted in 1886 that unless the nations of the world by the 1st of January, 1K would, by concurrent nction, fix the ratio between gold and silver that then the whole silver coinage of the country should be suspended. Tlicy Voted Together Once. He and I voted together then laughter. Ho was not willing then to change it ap plause. He is willing now cheers. I have twice votco, and I don't know butoftener ncrninst free and unlimited coinage of silver. Thirteen years ago when silver had been stricken lro:n coinage of this country I took every occasion to reinstate silver to its an cient rlace in our monetary system, because I wanted both metals. I am opposed to freo and unlimited coinage now because it means that w e w ill be put upon a sil er basis, and do business with silver alone instoadof with gold, Filver and paper money, with which w e do the business of this countryto-day, every one of them isgood a gold applause. I w'ant to tell the workihgmen here, and the farmers, that it takes justa- many blows of tho hammer, it takes Just as many strikes of the pick, it takes jnst as much digging, Just as much sowing and reaping to get a short dollar as it does to get a full dollar. Applause. Now there is one Issue between Governor Campbell and myself. I was going to -ay It is one issue at least between Gov ernor Campbell's platform In Ohio and the Republican platform on which I stand to day. Laughter Taking Up the Tariff Issue. Now the other issue is the one relating to the tariff. The Governor does not liko pro tection now. Laughter aud cheers. I re member when in a former Congress Mr. Morrison brought in his bill, which was only a 20 per cent reduction of the tariff, and a-ked leave for the poor privilege of hav ing it considered and made a motion to that effect. I demanded the ayes and noes, and Governor Campbell voted with me tnen. Applause.) Governor, you were tight then, and Gov ernor, you did not want to vote for tho Mills bill, either, did you? Applause. I have an inteiview with the Governor which I shall not use until I have passed it t6 him to inquire whether it is correct. Xow, my fel low citizens, it is not a question of what Governor Campbell believes now, or whit he did in tho pa't, or what I have done in the past, it i a question of present nnd liv ing ibsues. Cheers. Governor Campbell has a right to change his mind, and it is n poor man who sacrifices right for consist ency. Applause. I have found in my public lilc tli.it a man has got all he can do to look after the votes and the business of the pre-ent and the future, guided by the lights lie now has, and so I am hero to dis cuss with the Governor the difference be tween his present revenue tariff -policy and the protective tariff policy. The Governor tells me the interview handed him is not correct and I will not use it. Now, my fellow- citizens, there are only two ways to test any great question of public policy. Tho one i- to test it by reason nnd nrgument.and the other Is to test it through experience nnd history. Xow, the Governor's platform commits him to a tariff for revenuo only. The Position of tho Hemocrats. That is a tariff upon foreign products with no other object in view hut reyenuo, un mindful of every other consideration but revenue not caring for tho industries and occupations of tho people, levied with a view to revenue nnd revenue alone, nnd tho tariff that will produce the most revenuo is the tariff which the revenue policy main tains to-day. A revenue tariff will raise revenue for a government. A protcctlvo tariff will do thnt. A revenue tariff will do nothing more hut raise revenue A protect ive tariff will do more than raise revenue. It wi-1 stimulate the industries of the peo ple. It will encourage the skill and genius of the American people. It will develop the resources of our country and will secure to us, as it has done in the last SO years, the first rank in mining, in agriculture and in manntacturifig of a,l the nations ot the world. Applause; Tell me, my fellow citizens, why the for elm producers should bepennittcd to enjoy this market equally with the American citi zen? Tell me why the foreign producer should havo the same privilege to enter this market with his competing products as the American citizen has to dispose of Iris in his own market? The foreign producer contrib utes not $1 to out State, our country or our municipal improvements. Ho is beyond our jurisdiction. Yon cannot reach him: you cannot oompel hitn to pay 1 cent of tax. Tho Federal arm is not longenough to reach him, the Foderal tax gatherer cannot touch him. The Splendid Home Market. You have built up this splendid market, you built your schoolhonsos and yonr churches, yon improved your great high ways, you have built your canals, and you maintain your State institntions of every charaoter, and yon havo done it by taxing yourselves. The foreign producer has not contribtcd one dollar. Why should ne db pormitted to come here and enjoy equally with you this matchless market that you have made yonrselvcsT Applause, Here tho Federal arm can get into vouf household and take the flower of your flock and put them into tho army to defend tho flag of the country and save his Govern ment. I can demand of him the best llfo's blood. Ycu cannot reach the foreigner for any such purpose. He is beyond our Juris diction; be owes no allegiance to our flag; and why should ho upon any consideration oPcitizenship or fair play be permitted to divide this market with "tho American peo ple? And tho only wav we can touch him is when he brings his products to our shores. Why, the Governor snvs we pay tho tax. If we do, in God's name what is England making such a fnss about? Applause. Why is Germany crying out against the now tariff law if we pay all tho tariff? The Only Way to Do It. But as I was saying, the only way wo can touch the foreigner and tho fathers had that idea when he brings his products to our shores and seeks to enter our markets nnd compete with ns is to tell him to halt and say to him that before yon can land on our shores you must pay so much for the privilege of doing it, and that willgorfnto tho Treasury of the United States to .help share the burdens of tho American people. Applause. If yon want to know who pays tho tax go ask the Canadian faniicr-.who brings his wlient to Krle countv, N. Y to the citv of Buffalo, and tho Erie connty fnrmer"brings his. They meet nt the snroo market place. The Erie county farmer takes !XI cents home with him, the Canadian takes 90 cents less 25 cents, tho American tariff. Applause. Xow, my fellow citizens, they say a tariff is a tax, aud the Governor cites a number of things to indlcito we pay a tax, and be has his chart. Great God, if you have to have a chart to tell a man what he pays! Laugh ter. A chart to point out your povorty in the midst of plentv! Who pays the tax? The duty on salt is 22 4-10 cents a barrel, or 12 ceuts ner hundred nounds in bass. Salt can be nurehased at 30 cents a bushel where it is maniiractured, and 50 cents a barrel. In cluding tho barrel, which costs 20 cents, which makes the cost of the salt, if the Gov ernor is right, 8 cents. A Practical Tariff Illustration. That is to sav we get 8 cents above the duty and but for tho duty wo should buy at less than 8 1 ents n barrel, barrel and all, and the barrel cost 20 cents, and so It is as cheap at it is in Englaud. and cheaper if tranpor tation from Liverpool to Xew York be added. Hera arc nails. The old duty was cents a pound, that wns reduced to 2 and2K cents. These nails can be bought where tbey are made at two and two-tenths cents a pound nnd the tariff is two and a half. Who pays the tax? Steel rails can be boucht for $30 a ton, $6 above tho average price in Liverpool and the tariffisSU 44 a ton. The duty Is 25 per cent on boots and shoes. Tho old duty was 30. I want to tell the Governor that when ho voted for the Mills bill ho voted to make binder's twine equal to 1 cents a pound.and we onl v make It tour-ten tns of a cent a noun d in our Chinese bill. And this is true of cot ton gaocls and woolen goods. Facts for the Farmers. Tlie duty on linseed oil is 32 cents a gallon and on tho farmers' flax it is 20 cents. In London It is 33 cents a gallon; if the tax is added then oil should sell here for 65 cents a gallon, but it don't; it only sells for 36 cents a cnllon. Who pays the tax? Applause. But I must hurry on. The Governor com plains that in this iniquitlous tariff law of 1830, we gave a rebate of 90 per cent on im ported raw material which was worked Into the finished pioduct nnd then entered for the export trade. I -want to say to this audience that that rebate principle has been in every tariff law since the second adminis tration of Goorgo Washington. It was in the Mills bill which tho gentleman himself voted for. It is true that the rebate was only 90 per cent in the Mills bill, but it is 93 -in the new tariff law. Xow, let me givo yon good authority for this 99 per cent on a rebate, and I beg to call the Governor's attention to it. I hold in mv hand a report of January 20, 1885, from the Committee on Ways and Means, of which Mr Morrison was Chairman: Abraham S. Hewitt, a member: Roger Q. Mills, a member all of them uniting in this report. What is it? Let me read it. "The Committee on Ways and Means report bill n. It. "651, en titled 'A bill to amend section 3019 of tho Re vised Statutes, relating to drawback on duties on imported material when manu factured and exportea, with the recommen dation that the same be enacted into a law. As the law stands, 90 por cent of the duty that has been collected on foreign materials used in manufactured and ex ported in manufactured form is refunded to the manufacturer; In the case of sugar, 99 fercentIsso refunded. Tho theory of the aw was to retain a sufficient amount of duty to cover tho cost or keeping accounts, but in practice it has been found that only about one-tenth of 1 per cont isnecessary for the purpose. Inasmuch as it is desirable to remote all possible obstacles to the growth of our export trades, tho committee are of opinion, which is concurred in by the Secretary of tho Treasury, that it Is no lontrer wise to retnin any portion of tho duties which have been collected on mate rials thus exported. The general idea is to remove all unnecessary obstacles to the growth of our domestic Industry, and its competition in the open maikets of the world v ith the products of other countries. A Practical Iionus to Other Nations. "A tax upon the raw material which en ters into our exports is to that extent a practical bonus to other nations who do not pay such taxes. It is undoubtedly a wise policy to give as much employment as pos sible to our own people, and this object is attained when wc prepare the commodities entirely reany for use, instead of shipping them in a crude form to be manufactured elsewhere. So domestic interest will he in jured by the return of theduty.on materials tuus cxporteu. out many Dranclies or do mestic industry will be greatly benefltcdand enlarged. Your committee, therefore, recommend the passage or the bill." And the very urovision recommended by the Democratic Committee on Ways anil Means in the Forty-sixth Congress was niloptel in the new tariff law of 1S00, which Governor Campbell complains of to-day, be cause it gives to tho Standard Oil Company a rebate of 93 per cent. Applause. Why, let mc remind tho Governor that t no Mills bill, which he voted for.gave to the Standard Oil Company free tin absolutely. I have taiKcu to you on tne sauject oi tne principal of a rcvenus tariff and a protective tariff. Xow I want to give you experience, for that is n bettor teacher than a chart. There is nothing in history in our own experience to justify the revival, of oar protective system or change our pro tective laws. A Low Tariff Increases Importations. Alow tariff has always increased the im portation of foreign goods, multiplied our foreign obligations, produced a balance o'f the trade against the country, supplanted the domestic producer and manufacturer, impaired the fanner's home market without improving his domestic prosperity, dimin ished tho value of nearly all ourproperty, in fact. Major McKielev then read extracts from speeches made by Senator Ewing, Presidents Fillmore and Buchanan, Horace Greely, Joseph Casey, Thomas Jefferson and others in behalf of the tariff system. He continued: Xow, let us compare the United States with Great Britain. The latter's proportion of tho foreign commerce of the world in 1830 was 27.2 per cent, in 1870 it had fallen to 24.5 per cent. In 1SS0 It had fallen to 21.2 per cent. Iu 1S30 the United States had 3.7 per cent. In 1870, 9.2 per cent. In 18S0, 11.5 per cent. Great Britain, between 1870 and 1880, lost 13 per cent or her trade. The United States gained 22 per cent. Let us turn to our internal commerce The Governor talks about our commerce having left our seas. Why, we have got the greatest internal commerce that is known anywhere in the world It extot.ds from ocean to ocean and from lake to lake, and the entire commerce of tho United States is greater than the whole commerce of Great Britain, France Germany. Russia, Holland, Belgium, Aus tria. There is a single railroad company in the United States, and it passes through this village, that carries more traffic in ton nage than all tho merchant ships of Great Britain. Great Britain's commerce is only 'one-sixth of onr domestic commerce. Questions About Foreign Itnslness. Do you think that a customer in London Is better than a customer In Xew York? Do you think a customcrin Beilinis better than a customer In St. Jxjuts? Do you think a customer in Faris is better than a customer in San Francisco? Protection has built up our loreign markets. From 1945 to 1860, under a low revenue tariff, we bought $460,000,000 of goods from Europe more than we sold to Europe. From 1867 to 1831, a period of 14 vears, nndor protection, we sold to Europe $1,600,000,000 more goods than wo bought from Europe. Applause They say this tariff law keeps us out of the foreign markets. Wo have got more, freo trade under it than we have bad under any tariff bill sinco the beginning of the Govern ment. Fifty-six per cent of the goods im ported in the last II months under the valua tion were free I mean 56 per cent of tho value of the importations in the first 11 months of this no w tariff law were absolutely free to the American people. The bill that Governor Campbell voted for the Mills bill only made 44 per cent of imported goods free. I cannot ndd a word to this bill, tho Gov ernor cannot add a word to it, it tells its own story now. It is a year old to-dav. Ap plause. Just one year old. The compaign prevaricator is out of business, for the bill speaks for Itself. It Is no longer declama tion, it Is demonstrated, f Applause. What has the biil done? In the first ten months under that bill we bought more goods in Europe than wo ever bought in nny ten months since the formation of the Govern ment, and largoly because of the increased freo list of articles that we could not produce in the United States and which protection lets come In free. The Best Featnre of the Hill. More and better than that, in the first ten months under tho law we sold more Ameri can prodncts in Europe than wo ever sold in any ten months from the administration of George Washington to the administration of Benjamin Harrison, and when Europo set tled with us after ten months of operation of tho new law Europe paid to us $3.2,000,000 in gold, a balance of trade in our favor. Applause. Why, they talked about a foreign market. They think there is something sacred about n foreign market thnt does not attach to a home market. For mo aud mine there is no place like home. Applause. The Gover nor asked mc, nnd I wnnt to answer it now lest I forget it, if I am in favor of organized labor. I say I am and always havo been, and I am not only in favor of organized labor at homo, but I am in favor of defend ing labor at home from tho products made by tho cheap labor of other countries. Applause. It don't make very much difference to our labor if the product of cheap labor of Europe is pormittod to como in here free of duty. If protective tariffs hurt they must show that they hurt elsewhere. Xow do the pro tective tariffs increase the debt of the United States? In 1870 our national debt was $2,386, 000 000. It Is to-dav $9SS 000,000. The State debts in 1870 wero $332,000 000 Twenty years afterward thoy were $152,000,000. The connty debts in 1870, and we have been all this time under protection, wero $187,000,000; in 1890 thev were $115,000,000. The per capita debt In 1870 was $76. The per capita m 1890, after di years oi protection, is soa io. Contrasting the Slaking of Panpcrs. What effect has protection in tho way of making paupers in tho United States? Con trast the United States with free trade En gland. The populatton of England is 37, 000,000. The paupers in England are 9SS,003; paupers to the 1,000,000, 26,650 in free trade England. How in the United States? Pop ulation. 61,000,000; paupers, 97,200. Paupers to 1,000,C01, 1,163, ns against 26.650 in fieo trade England. That is better than a chart; that you cannot get awny from. Why, the Governor complains that real estate has been lessened in value for taxation, and ho argues from that that there has been a de preciation in real estate. Well, I believe the Bonrd of Equalization did reduce the assessed value of farms In the State of Ohio. That was to equalize teir valuation with other property. That does not fix the value of the farm nnd there is not a farmer in Hardin county that would sell his farm for anything near like tho assessed value for taxation. If any of you want to sell out at that price, follow ing the Governor's opinion or argument, please rise up and be counted. Applause. And if there Is nny farmer in this audience who feels hurt that his land has been less ened in value by the tax duplicate of the Board of Equalization I would like to have him get up, but the Governor complains nil the enormous tax protections is upon the consumer. He does not give the prices, for things were never as cheap as thoy nre to day. I mean manufactured products. A bushel of wheat will buy more manufact ured products to-day than it would have ever bought before in the history of the United States. I have a list of 50 leading articles, the prices of them in 1857 that was under a Democratic law tariff and the price of them in .889, 180 and 1891, and every one of them are lower in price thnn they were a year ago, notwithstanding tho new tariff law. A Slap at Governor Hill. Except pearl buttons the Governor spoke about pearl buttons well, we did raise the tariff on pearl buttons. We raised it to put our pearl button men to work, applause and it is no fault of the law that the Gov ernor's Democratic friends in Xew York set the prison labor of that State to making pearl buttons to compete with the free labor of this country. The only thing that has gono up is pearl buttons. How many of them do you use? Do you nse as many nenrl buttons as you do sugar? An ux "in 1873, nnder the Governor's tariff cost $1 45 cents. In October. 1889. it cost 93 cents; in October, 1890, it cost 92 cents; in September, 1891, it cost 88 cents. Who pays the tax? Binding twine in 1889 cost Hl cents; in October, 1S90, It co3t H cents: in Septem ber 1891. 11 conts. A pair of blankets cost in 1857, $6 83; in 1890 they cost $4 23, in 1891 they cost $3 17. Who pays the tax? I might go through with the whole 50 articles, but somebody In this audience says when I spoke of sugar, "Goodfor free trade," and so the Democratic idea is, and the leaders will say some of them, Mr. Mills is not saying it, but they are saying of course sugar is cheaper because sugar is freo. We have always been for free sugar. My fellow citi zens, tho Democratic party was never for free sugar. From the first tariff It ever made down to 1857, which was tho last tariff it ever made, every one of them had a tariff on sugar, raw and refined. Even the Walker tariff of 1846 had a tariff on sugar of 30 per cent. Democrats Never for Free Sugar. Every Democratic tariff law that was over proposed had a tariff on sugar; the Wood bill and tho two Morrison and the Mills bill, which was tho latest embodiment of Demo cratic purpose and which the Governor voted for, had a tariff at from 2 to 3 cents a pound, nnd when I brought tho now tariff law in with its free sugar clause in it every Democrat in the House voted to strike it out nnd reinstate tho old tariff. When it went to the Senate every Democrat in the Senate voted to strike ft out, and justified their vote on the ground that it was a Democratic rev onue tariff, and that you have got freo sugar to-day Is in spite of tho Democratic party and its united opposition. Applause. And whv have vou cot it? Because nnflpr tho principle of protection everything that we can not produce, except luxuries, shall como in free. Everything which artcr a fair trial we have not been able to produce suffi cient for onr consumption, or nearly so, comes In free. We have been 100 years try ing to produce sugar. We did not produce as much in 1SS9 as we produced 50 years before that. It was costing us $55,000,000 to sustain the sugar producers of the country because it was a revenue tariff, which is always paid by the consumer, and tho Kopublican party took it off and wiped it out. Bat thoy say wo havo a bounty which is worse than a tariff. So wo did give a bounty. When we como to take that tariff we found millions of dollars Invested in sugar industries in this country, and thousands of men employed in these industries. Xcver Breaks Down Industries. Tho Republican party never breaks down industries. Its mission is to build them up and so wo gave a bounty equal to the tariff to the producers of cano sugar, tho producers of maple sugar, and borghuin sugar and beet sugar, and the bounty this year will cost us $10,000,000; the tariff cost us $55,000,000, there is an actual snviug of $45 000,000 to the Amer ican people. Applause. And you never had sugar as cheap as you havo got it to-day. Why, who paid the tariff, $55,000,000? The American people did as they ulways have to pay a revenue tariff, tor when a revenue tariff breaks down competition, as it always does, then tho piico to the consumer is fixed by tho Jorolgner, which is the loreign price with the American tariffadded. But it is not so with protection. When vou have successful manufactories in this coun try able to supply domestic demands, this competition among 63,000,000 of people fixes, determines aud regulates the prices to tho American consumer, and there is not a thing you uuj i.u-ujr ,uu, uaa ueen stipulated uy a protective tariff that is not cheaper than it was ever before. Applause. Why they said that we conldnot make a dozen articles that we are making to-day, that the climate was against us: but we havo made them, and in the making of them we have created com- Ectition; wo have encouraged genius; we avo promoted invention until w6 aro able to make these articles cheaper to American Eeoplo than they were ever obtainable ororc. And we propose to maintain this protective tariff. Applause. Questions for the Governor, Will the Governor tell me what rate of tariff ho 'Would put on Imported articles when he comes to reDlv. "Will he tell me whether he is in favor of restoring tho tar on tea nnd coffee; will he tell me whether lie is in favor, as Mills is, of patting back tho tariff on sugar and repealing tho reciprocity provision of tho new tariff. I want to know what articles ho would put tho tariff on; I want to know what articles ho would release from the tariff. I want him to toll me tho rate of taxation. Freo trade that is the doctrine of the Democratic leaders of the day; they used to be afraid or it. Lot mo tell you by way of parting: let mo tell this audienco how easy it is to criticise The Governor criticises and carps about the bill. Ho tolls in what con dition the people of this country are in tho midst of their prosperity. I want to com mend to him these words or Robert West. and to all of thoso who are around arraying class and preaching tho gospel of discontent and despair. RoDort West said, "Xo talent, no self denial, no brains are reqnired to set up In the grumbling business." Laughter. But those who are moved by a genuine desire to do good have littlo time for murmuring or complaining. Ap plause. I am not here to preach the gospel of dissatisfaction, discontent nnd despair. Thank God the Republican party never taught such a doctrine. Ours consists of tho doctrlneofhopenndcheer. Applause and cries of "That is it". I will tell you when we can have free trade, when the nations of tho world bring their conditions up to ours. Then wo will meet them in the neutral markets of the world, and it will be tho survival of tho' fittest; but I tell them, I tell the Governor, that we will never lovel our condition down to theirs. Great applause. REPLY OP CAMPBELL. THE GOVEBXOB GOES OVER SOME OF HIS OLD ARGUMENTS. Ho Fires a Question at McKInley, IThlcIi the Major Answers With Vigor His Position on Sugar Defined Campbell's Tilt at Tin Plate. fFKOM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT. Ada, O., Oct. 8. In his reply to Major ATcKinley, Governor Campbell said: I concur most heartily with Major McKInley that this is tho greatest and the best and tho proudest nation on earth, but, unlike him, I would distribute that greatness and that wealth, God distributed the dews of heaven, upon the just as well as tho unjust. Cries of "Give it to him." As I said at the outset, when I depicted from the statistics the condition of the farm ers, and spoko of tho reduction of wages of workmen, the answer is not in the words that I am a calamity striker, but by a quotation from somebody who says: "Ton musn't grumble." Applause. A voice "Hit him another one." Tou men, tho Findlay glassworkers, who have had your meager wages reduced; you steelworkers of Cleveland, who havo had your little pittance cut down, you musn't grumble becauso your povorty adds to some other men's worth. Applause. Cries of "givo It to him" and "shoot him in tho neck." I will take care of him now, if you will let mo alone. This is a good-natured fight, for we aro both good men and there is only one of us can he Governor, and, as I am there already, why, perhaps I had better stay there. Laughter and applause. Nothing to Say on Wages. The Major has spoken for an hour and a half, but he has not said to mo nor to this audience why, with his bill raising the tariff from 47 to 60 por cent for the purpose of raising wages, he has not pointed out tho wngeworker in all this broad land who litis had his wages raised. He has had some sweet things to say about sugar, for in stance. Nev er mind about tin and wool, we will get on to them very soon. Tou know the Kopublican song this year is: "With sugar and tin, we are sure to win." Thoy took tho tariff off sugar to make, it cheap, and they put the tariff on tin to make it cheap applause, but no acrobat, how ever skilled, was ever yet ablo to rido two, horses going In different directions without' falling to the ground. Applause. If" free sugar is a good thing, I will ask the Major, and let him answer it out of my time, whether sugar was not reduced by tho Mills bill, and whether, when in tho Ways and Means Committee tho subject was under dis cussion, he did not oppose any reduction of sugar; Loud and continued applause. Come bov, let us have a square deal now. Major McKInley said in reply to this ques tion: McKlnley's Strong Answer. I want to say, gentlemen, in answer to the very courteous inquiry, and the opportunity which the Governor has given mo, that the Mills bill did reduce and proposed to reduce the tariff on sugar cries of good, good about 20 per cent. It was between 18 and 20 per cent, as I now remember. In tho Ways and Means Committee room of the House of Representatives in tho last Congress that revised tho tariff, I was in favor of reducing the tariff on sugar, raw and refined, 50 per cent nnd give np bounty to the sugar pro ducers. That was my position in the House nnd in tno Ways and Means Committee. When the committee fixed it freo I took it into the House, advocated it, and voted for it. Loud applause. Continuing, Governor Campbell said: I just wanted to know whether the people owed all of that free sugar or not to tho Major, and I found out that they did not. Now, I would call attention to another good thing that was done by the last Congress for tho benefit of the farmers, which the Major has dilated on to some extent Cries of "Free silver'' and that is the article of bind ing twine, which vre are told is cheaper now than it was before the McKInley bill passed: and so it is, and the tariff on bindlbg twine was reduced. Loud applause. Who Reduced Binding Twine. Now cheer a little louder, and I will tell you who reduced it. Binding twine of this country is made by a trust, and when Major McKinley's bill wont to tho Senate the Sen ate struck ont all of tho duty on binding twino, hut when It came hack irom the Sen ate Major McKinley made a fight for a re tention of tho duty upon that article, and as lato as September 17, after the conference committee was in, and a partof theduty had been put back, in spito of the Senate he said: "I wish to sav further that the duty (upon binding twine) in this report is wholly in adequate in my Judgment; theduty ought not to have been so low as seven-tenths per cent." Applause.) And then tho Major entirely forgot what I had left to him, be cause he is a workingman In that industrv himself, nnd thnt is tho manufacture of tin plate. Loud applause. Witticisms on Tin Plato. After the election, if the Major should happen to want something to do, he can go to work in that industry; but I have got the tin here. Look here (showing some small plate3). Tou know that wo aro paying about $16,000,000 of duty upon tin. We always did pay $7,000,000. and to create this great in dustry we have to pay $9,000,000 more. I am giving the round figures. Applause. Now that industry has been established, so I have been told, in tho State of Ohio. A voice, "Where." I lmive had no end of trouble to find that very tiling out. A voice: How about silver. My dear frienris, Mnjor McKinley said in Congress that the Republican party had dono nil the financial legislation of this country for 30 years. If there is any 80-cent dollar in this country, it is a Republican dollar. Loud nnd continued applause The Governor then followed up the tin industry with some sharp witticisms that kept the crowd roaring. The matter has already appeared in The Dispatch. Fourth Convention of the C. T. A. U. The fourth annual convention of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of the Pittsburg diocese will be held Tuesday, Oc tober 13, at Braddock. It will open at 8 A.

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Henrietta Duffy and her daughter were returning to their home on Thirty-third street AVhcn near Dixon street two men attacked them, demanded their money, and when they found that they had but n little change on them, took alarge bundle from them. The bundle contained some clothing. The ease was reported to the Twelfth ward police station. MONEY RUfflfflG LOW. Allegheny Street Improvements Eat ing Up an Appropriation. GOOD ELECTRIC LIGHT WANTED. Unsuccessful Attempt to" Settle Bchenley Park Bridge Damages. SOME SNAP SHOTS AT CITT MATTERS The Allegheny Committee on Public "Worlcs met lost evening with W. M. Ken nedy in the chair. A large amount of busi ness was transacted. The principal sub jects discussed were the system of lighting the city and the re-leasing of the stalls in the market house, but nothing definite was arrived at in either case. The first business was to hear a statement by Dr. Langfitt, one of the stockholders of tbc Allegheny Heating Company, relative to their building that is on the wharf property. Dr. Langfitt stated that they had secured tho ground rent for $60 per year from the city, and had erected thereon' a building at a cost of 51,300. The lower part of the building was used as a reducing sta tion, and the upper part they had rented out as a cigar store at a rental of $25 per month. Lately someone has seen fit to ad vance their rent from $00 to 5450 per year, nnd he thought that was too much. The matter was taken under advisement The pay rolls and bills were next approved. AN; APPEOrKIATIOS' NEAELT GOXE. Mr. "Wertheimer called the attention of the Chief of Public "Works to the fact that the appropriation for street improvements was nearly run out, not more than S20,00d remaining, and as Chairman of the Finance Committee he served notice that there would be no transfers from the sinking fund or any other fund, and that the depart ments would have to retrench and live on their appropriations. The contract for paving Myrtle avenue, oq which there was a tie between Fred Givinner and Thomas Carson .vas awarded to Mr. Givinner and the contract for paving Ehlers alley was awarded to Thomas Car son. The resolution for a stone retaining wall on California avenue was referred to the city solicitor for an opinion and the resolution for a retaining wall on Perrys ville avenue wns affirmatively returned to Councils. An ordinance fixing the rates to be" charged by the city weighmaster was re turned to Councils with an affirmative recom mendation. The ordinance doing away with the elec tric light lowers and substituting mast arms was next taken up. A BETTEB KIND OF LAMP WANTED. Mr. Knox snecested that the city was using an inferior lamp, and proposed that the tower at the corner of North avenue and Federal street be manned with Thompson-Houston lamps, and the one,nt the cor ner of Lacock street have Brush lamps placed on it, then it conld be ascertained which were the best. Mr. Gerwig said the trouble was that the city didn't know what it wanted. The best plan was to wait and find out what it did want. The ordinance was accordingly laid over. A number of propositions to put in smoke consumers were referred to a sub-committee. The question of repainting the market house was called up and a number of bids were presented. Mr. Lowe called atten tion to the fact that the general committee had not authorized the advertising for bids, and as this was found to be right it was decided to return all bids and readvertfce. Citv Solicitor Elphinstone, who was pre sent, called the attention of the committee to the fact that they had no authority to do any such thing nnd that they were violating the provision of the "Wallace act- Before any money could be spent out of the treas ury, it was necessary to get an ordinance or resolutfon through Councils authorizing such an expenditure. This matter causedconsiderable discussion, the members having a hard time to get at an understanding of it, and after discussing it at some length the committee adjourned. THEY COULD NOT AGREE. An Unsuccessful Attempt to Scttio the Schenley Park Bridge Damages. The board of arbitration appointed by the courts to adjust the difference existing be tween the city and Black & Baird over the value of property taken for the new Schen ley Park bridge met yesterday afternoon for the first time. Assistant City Attorney Carnahan, for the city, and George "W. Guthrie, for Black & Baird, were on hand also. Black & Baird have laid out a plan known ns the ''Library Park Place" lots, on the land adjoining the park entrance aud fronting on the hollow spanned bv the new bridge. "When the bridge was built it was necessary to rest one of the supporting piers on the Black & Baird property, and two of the 25-foot lots are affected. But as both are almost entirely on a steep hillside that a goat could hardly climb, it was not thought that the owners would ask much for them, and Chief Bigelow proceeded under the city's right of eminent domain. AVhen the bridge was finished an attempt was made to fix up the purchase of the lots bv the city, but the erection ot the bridge Ladin itself increased the value of the lots, and the owners were not willing to take a cent less than their full value. The city only offered what the lots were worth before the bridge was erected and a settlement being out of the question on that basis, the Court was asked to appoint a board of arbitrators. J. H. Miller, H. S. A. Stewart and Leslie Glon inger were selected. At the meeting yesterday a proposition was made by Black & Baird but it was con sidered entirely out of reason and the city's representatives would not listen to it. Af ter a long discupsion it became apparent that no agreement could he made and the board adjourned until November 2. BATTEBY B'S NEW NAME. As an Honorary Title It Will Call Itself nampton's Battery. The members of the Hampton Battery Association, composed of survivors of Hampton's Battery, held their eleventh an nual reunion last evening. They met in the office of A. H. Bowand on Grant street Twenty members were present. President E. J. "Wilkins presided and J. C. Shalcr acted as Secretary. The day was the thirtieth anniversary of the date the bat tery was mustered into service. The com mittee on the monument for the peach orchard at Gettysburg reported that the monument had been completed and placed in position. It was decided to have printed a pamphlet containing a histori cal sketch of the battery, the names of its members and pictures of its four monuments, two of which are at Gettysburg, one in the Allegheny Ceme tery and one in Allegheny parks. A re quest was received from Battery B, N. G. P., to be allowed to adopt the name Hamp ton's Battery, to perpetuate the name of that battery. The request was granted. The new title for Battery B will only be an honorary one, as under the law its official name must continue ns Battery B. The following officers for the association were elected for the ensuing year: Presi dent, E. J. Wilkins; Vice President, Amos S. Pctrec; Treasurer, Henry Heuplc; Sec retary, J. C. Shaler, Jr. At the conclusion of business the members of the association adjourned to Goodwin's restaurant, where a well-covered table greeted them, and the remainder of the evening was spent in sup plying the inner man with good things, re lating war reminiscences, exchanging toasts and enjoying themselves generally.
