BRUMM FULL
OF VIGOR.
He Made a Rattling Address in
Town Last Night.
CONVINCING ARGUMENTS
Points Showing That Democrats Believe
That Protection Docs Protect Con
gressman Rellly's Hecord.
The people who assembled In Itobblns'
opera house last night heard one of the
best talks on the tariff that has been
given here In this campaign. Hon. C. N.
Brumm, the Republican condldate for
Congress, was the speaker of the evening,
and although his talk was rather Im
promptu and nsmatterlngof tariff topics,
It was an able effort and the large
audience listened with undivided atten
tion to the end. At times tho remarks
were greeted with enthusiastic applause
and there were frequently remarks of
approval In undertone.
On account of tho disagreeable weather
there was no extended street parade. The
Grant Band, committee and members of
the Hastings Club marched on the pave
ment from the hotel to the opera houso.
The hall was very tastefully decorated.
The meeting was opened at 8 o'clock by
Mr. Horace E. Dengler and the following
officers of the evening were elected : John
G. Davis, chairman ; Thomas Balrd, M.
P. Fowler, John Lee, C. W. Dengler, J. K
Kehler, Sr., Jacob Bamburger, J. J. Price,
A. II. Roads, John Wagner, John H. Reese,
J. P. Williams, R. W. Stout, John W
Morgan, P.W. Blerstelu, Michael Graham,
R. A. Glover, D. II. Llewellyn, D. H. Lau
derman, James Grant, Marshal Baugh,
A. D. Gable, B. C. Church, David Mor
gan, James McElhenny, T. R. Edwards,
Daniel Ogden, J. B. Lessig, William
Thickens, Morgan Price, Archie B. Lamb,
Moses Owens, Jacob Shane, John Kase,
J. 0. Roberts, J. L. Hassler, Pierce Walker
and M. J. Lawlor, vice presidents ; W. J.
Watklns, secretary.
T. II. B'. Lyons, Esq., of Mahanoy City,
was the first speaker. He prefaced his
brief but very Interesting address with
the statement that at the Inst moment
Connty Chairman Payne had been noti
fied that Hon. John B. Robinson would
not be able to attend the meeting; that
he was 111. Mr. Lyon then turned his
attention to the industrial and financial
condition of the country and com
pared the conditions under Republican
administration with the conditions
under that of tho Democratic
party. The arguments were clear
and concise nnd evoked expressions
of approbation. In speaking of Hon. J.
J. Coyle, the Republican candidate for
Senator in this district, Mr. Lyon was
very earnest. He said: "Few men In the
Legislature of Pennsylvania havo made
the mark in a single turn that Mr. Coyle
has. He is able and willing to serve the
people In this district, and Berve them
well. As a legislator, as a man of ability,
as a manjwho can, if he will, and he will,
serve the Ipeople well, I think there is no
comparison between Mr. Coyle and Mr.
King, and I Bay this with no disrespect to
Mr. King. I know the two of them. Mr.
Coyle Is the superior as an intellectual
man, as a man adapted to a place in the
legislative halls, and he can make his
welght'.felt. The people of this district
havenot had for years as a candidate for
the Senate a man of his ability, or one
truerto the interests of his constituents."
After the applause that followed Mr.
Lyon'sretirement died out the chairman
Introduced Hon. Charles N. Brumm,
Pennsylvania's war horse In the battles
for protection, and he was greeted with
most enthusiastic applause. Mr. Brumm
said ha intended to bold himself In re
serve for the grand Republican rally to
be held in Shenandoah on tho Monday
preceding his election and his remarks
would be directed only to a few random
thoughts on the questions of the hour.
He did not propose to indulge in per
sonalities, or hurt the feelings of any one,
and if any one within the hearing of his
voice should become offended it would be
because the truth hurt. Mr. Brumm said
that whatever faults the Democratic
party was responsible for were due to the
control and domineering power of Demo
crats from certain sections of the country.
That the issues which have been urged
by these men are not the issues of the
Democratic party. From the days of
Thomas Jefferson down to 1893 the
Democratic party never was a free
trade party. In all its preceding plat
forms It favored protection to American
industries, sometimes high, sometimes
low, and always at least favored Inci
dental protection, and if he were a Demo
crat he would this fall rebuke with his
ballot the Democratic party as a father
would rebuke the erring child, telling the
promoters of the false issues that they
must come back to the moorings of true
Democracy.
Mr. Brumm then took np discussion of
the trne intent of protection, free trade
and reciprocity, and after eulogizing the
late Hon. James G. Blaine in a manner
which aroused the audience to enthusi
asm he took up the tariff schedule and
discussed it by sections, pointing to the
inconsistency of the New Orleans Demo
crats demanding a high tariff on sugar,
the South Carolina men making the same
demand for rice, Tennessee Democrats
Insisting upon a high tariff on marble,
Senator Murphy growing desperate in his
efforts to have a high tariff retained
o'n collars and cuff, nnd yet all these
Democrats and others denounce Protec
tion as a fraud, n robbery, and as uncon
stitutional. They protect Tennessee mar
ble and put Vermont granite on tho free
list. Tennessee marble Is quarried by
cheap negro and convict labor; Vermont
granite is quarried by better paid and
legitimate white labor. Tennessee is n
Democratic kate. Vermont is n Republl-
stato. ;
Mr. Brumm wended hia way through
the tariff schedule adopted by the last
Congress until he finally reached coal.
He Bald "when tho committee reported in
favor of putting coal ou the free list not
a single Democrat voice from Pennsyl
vania was heard to protest against It,
except the voice of Sibley, from Erie.
Co.al is mined in Pennsylvania. It Is tho
greatest product of our state. Pennsyl
vania Republicans and Mr. Sibley Insisted
that we must have protection also, but
the Democrats who controlled tho Demo
cratic party said 'No, we don't care a jot
for Pennsylvania. Why I Pennsylvania
doesn't give ha an electolnl vote. It Isn't
a Democratio state. It Is our business to
take care of those states thnt are giving
us majorities," and coal was put on the
free list.
Mr. Brumm then turned his attention
more directly to a recent article that ap
peared In the Pottsyille Chronicle In which
it was stated that Congressman Heilly,
while In the committee of tho whole, or in
caucus, voted for a tariff on coal nnd
could show tho record for It. Mr. Brumm
said the writer of tho article either knew
very little about parliamentary law, or
stated that which he knew was not true,
When you go Into the committee of the
whole, he Bald, or a caucus, or before the
committee on ways nud means, there Is
no record kept of your vote. You vote
viva voce, or you can demand n division
and get a standing or rising vote and the
speaker will count the votes ; nnd ILyou
are not satisfied you can call for tellers
nnd tho speaker will appoint them, one
teller from one Bide and one from the
other ; then the Congressmen pass between
these tellers and the tellers tally "Ayol,"
"No 2," etc. The names are not put down,
On this subject Mr. Brumm concluded
"I challengo the Chronicle to produce the
record," and he was enthusiastically ap
plauded.
The speaker then took up Congressman
Hines' published BtatemenE'in regard to
the payment of two thousand dollars by
the Hazard Rope Works of Wilkes-Bnrre
to have steel wire rope retained on, the
protected list, in which he stated thnt the
Congressmen who hnd chnrge of the rope
matter were Congressmen Cadmus, of
New Jersey, and Reilly, of Schuylkill
county. Mr. Brumm said, "I don't want
you to go nwny and say that 1 said Mr.
Heilly got S2.000, for I don't. 1 say here I
don't believe Mr. Reilly did get them.
don't believe he got one cent of that
money. I have known Mr. Reilly from
boyhood up and In all my dealings with
him I always found him a gentleman,
reliable, truthful nnd trustworthy. But
1 have said In Pottsvllle, and I say ngnln,
I don't charge Mr. Reilly with receiving
those $2,000; but I do say this: that if
Mr. Reilly had such potentential force
and power in the service of the steel rope
company as to keep the protective tariff
that the McKInley bill put on wire rope,
why didn't ho exert somo of that power
in favor of coal. (Great applause). He
succeeded in keeping the duty on steel
wire rope, nnd not a constituent of his Is
in that industry ; and yet he voted to put
coal on the free list."
"They believe," continued Mr. Brumm,
"that the tariff will protect wire rope,
cement, collars and cuffs, etc., but not
coal."
Mr. Brumm then took tip the Demo
cratic answer that there is no tariff on
anthracite coal and never was, because
there is no other anthracite coal like that
produced ,n Pennsylvania and it can pro
tect Itself, and that to take the duty off
the bituminous coal would not lnjuro
anthracite. "Don't you know," asked
Mr. Brumm, "that if wheat is very much
higher than rye the people will use rye as
a substitute t Anthracite and bltumlnoua
are products that have but ono function
that 1 know of, and that is to generate
heat.and by generating heat they generate
power and light. When you know one is
very much cheaper than the other the
other will not be bought, but when you
keep the prices nearer together the
condition is different. Nova Scotia is
waiting. Mr. Whitney and other
New York capitalists hnve the
option of almost the entire coal
fields of Nova Scotia. The coal from
this place Is beginning to pile Into the
New England states. It is beginning to
push anthracite coal out of the market,
not bocauso it is a better substitute, but
because It is the cheaper one. Our pro
duction will fall off In proportion as that
takes oar place, and instead of working
three days a week at nine per cent, below
the basis, my friends, you may only havo
one day a week and twenty per cent, be
low the basis. This Is where the Bhoe
pinches. Even If it shouldn't shove an
thracite out It will shove bituminous out
of Pennsylvania, and when It does
thousands of men will bo out of employ
ment. They are miners, ' hey will want
to work the coal and thej will come into
the anthracite field and make a still
greater over-supply of labor, and you
will stand powerless to say anything as

Topics of General Interest Touched
Upon With Intelligence.
ACTIVE CAMPAIGN WORK !
Advice to the Republican Voters A
Victory Not Sufficient It Should
Be Made a Glorious One.
Special Herald correspondence.
Pottsville, Oct. 31. The Republican
camp fires nro burning brightly through
out the county. Two weeks ago very few
thought such nn encouraging change
possible. Tho workingmau, the business
mnn, In f net everybody who has suffered
from the chango from Republican rule
and good times to Democratic rule nnd
stnrvntlon times, is wide-awake nnd
seriously contemplating the situation,
and on election dny will deposit the ballot
that will bring back the good times which
Protection alone can afford.
Yes, tho skies have brightened and be
token n grand old Republican victory nil
along the line. There are few skulkers
In the ranks now. AH, ornenrly Bll.hnve
come to the concluion to let bygones go
ns such and nre determined to help to
make victory doubly sure. It is easily
seen thnt there Is a marked difference In
tho nppearnnce of things In the Republi
can ranks.
Tho nrrlval here of that grand old mnn,
Gnlushn A. Grow, the other day,",brought
out the old Whigs and Republicans, many
among them who have been taking little
Interest in politics the past few years, and
he awakened in their bosoms the old spirit
that did so much in making tho Republi
can party the greatest, the grandest of
nil that has ever been Installed under the
stars and stripes, the party that leads and
never follows.
"Majorities" Grow enlivened the great
crowd with some grand truths. The lag
gard brushed the cobwebs from his eyes
and once more listened to enlightenment
and clinched facts. Few left the hall
without tho conviction thnt the Republi
can party is the one to rule this country
and keep it intact, safe and patriotic ; that
it is the only pnrty with a safo and able
financial policy and made of able and
reliable men. Mr. Grow held an Informal
reception after the meeting nnd shook
hnnds with many old friends. I noticed
in the nudlence many people who have
not taken an Interest In politics for many
years.
I understand the demind for speeches
from Hon. Charles N. Brumm on the
tariff question Is so grent that it is next
to impossible for him to fill all tho dates.
He has tho tariff qnestlon down fine nnd
his views nre so convincing It is seldom
that he falls to make converts on the spot.
The Journal's fight ngalnst the high
price of bread Is getting interesting, not
withstanding some paper are trying to
throw cold water on it. There Is no tell
ing where tho discussion will end. Many
think it will result in a reduction In tho
price of the loaves. The Journal deserves
commondatlon for Its work In this direc
tion. It is n step in the interest of the
masses and should be especially appreci
ated by the people who must buy brend,
The point mauo that brend Is kept as high
as It was when flour cost twice or three
times as much as it does now is certainly
worth consideration.
The Democrats nre making a desperate
fight for the Legislature in this district
with the hopo of being able to make n
break In tho Republican ranks, but they
will be obliged to do a great deal more
hustling than they hnve It they want to
come anywhere near the mark.
I notice the Dally Republican Is not
carrying the Republican ticket, state or
couuty, at Its masthead. What Is wrong,
friend Zerbey f You always claimed your
paper was tho organ of the Republican
party and It seems strange to boo you out
in the cold. You ought to get In line nnd
be with tho boys when they give tho
Democratio ticket Its Wnterloo.
Scarcely two weeks more, boys, to elec
tion day. Much more work Is required to
make the victory a grand one. Don't re
main in doubt for a moment about the
result. Just as sure ns the sun rises on
the 6th of Novomber a victory will bo
won. Work a little harder nnd the glory
will be all the greater, nnd you will cele
brate the victory all the better for having
helped to win It. So once more for the
Grand Old Party.
