A BRIEF ADDRESS BY MR, BRUMM
Tub First Lithuanian Band Also Enlivens
the Meeting The Congressman Tells
the Assemblage What a Voter
Should Acquire.
The P0IUI1 and. Lithuanian Bcpuhlicxn
mass meeting in Bobbins' opera house last
night was a complete success nml met with
the full expectations of the committee. Tho
hall was filled, and even after Congressman
Ilrumm concluded his brief address to the
Knglish speaking pooplo and left the hall to
attend a meeting at St. Nicholas there re
mained a large gathoring. Tho meeting was
callrd to order by Hon. Joseph W'yatt.

Before tho speaking commenced tho First
Lithuanian Hand, which had previously
paraded through several of the streets in tho
interest of the meeting, played a selection in
the hall.
Congressman Ilrumm was tho first spcakor
and occupied the platform but a few minutes,
on account of his St. Nicholas engagement.
His lemarks wero as follows: "F.very citimi
of every tongue, or language, ought to bo
able to got all tho information ho can 011 tho
issues of this campaign. It is immaterial
from what climo you come, or what tongue
you speak, unless you understand the issues
that nio involved you cannot vote an in
telligent ticket. You must first know why
you vote and what tho result of your voto Is,
and what question is Involved, that you may
voto and know whether you arc voting in
favor or against an issue. It seems to me
that following the history of tho Polish and
Lithuanian people, in tho broad and com
prehensive sense I mean, without distinction
as to dialects within them, that if there aie a
people in tho world who have snlfered in be
half of liberty for Bepublicatiism, they aie
tho Polish, Lithuanian and Hungarian
people. Kach country struggled with tyran
nical power and fought with a record for
bravery, gallantry, heroism and sacrifice not
exceoded by any other people. Your history
proves you waut liberty. You are a libeity
loving people and, of all people, there are
none more interested in the questions of this
campaign than vou are. As workingnien
you will feel more keenly either goud times
or bad times. All miners and laborers, who are
tho brawn and sinew of this country, will feel
bad times quicker than men who liavo better
employment. Whou times aro good you get
tho benefit of it slower than others. 011 all
know wiiat tho times wero under Republi
can rule. Tliero aro many of you who voted
for Cleveland four years ago. Thoy told you
then that if you would do that your wages
would bo better. You wero told that free
trado would givo us good times; that you
would havo full working time six days
every week and better wages. Well, the
tiino has passed. You know whether you
havo got better wages. You know whether
you have got moro work. Tho result is their
promises wero not fulfilled. They said thy
didn't want protection, but freo trado. They
Dud times havo been getting worse. Now
they have got something else anil they call
that freo silver. They aro introducing that
as another fraud or trick to catch tho votes of
the poople who don't understand tho
issue. I declare that over since this
country has been created thoro never
was so bad, so sinful, so damnable
a trick perpetrated upon tho American
pooplo as that now under tho head of what
they call froo coinage of silver. By that
system they would take it out of tho hands
of tho government and put It in tho hands of
inch who own and control silver, and there is
no limit to tho power of these peoplo, and in
that way they will make tho dollar worse
every day of tho yoar. Wheat and pork aro
going up mid your freo silver men started out
with a lie when they stated that silver anil
wheat ran together throughout tho markets
of tho world. Tho tiuotatlous of tho last
couple weeks prove the fallacy of this claim.
While wheat and pork and other products
have been going up, tho silver is wurth loss
to-day than over. Tho silver dollar to-day is
actually wurth but 40 cents."
At this point Mr. Ilrumm produced a gold
and silver dollar and held them side by side.
"This one (tho gold) Is worth one dollar in
itself, this 0110 (tho silver) is worth 10 cents ;
and this one (producing a nickel fac-siinilo of
a dollar under free coinage) is what they pro
pose to load you with. How do yuu like it?"
Tho facsimile was about tho size, in cir
cumference, of tho bottom of u tin quart
measure and roars of laughter burst furth as
it was produced. Mr. Ilrumm concluded his
remarks by 6tatlng that every man who votes
for llryaii, Shepherd and tho Democratic
ticket votes to say that tho civil war was a
failure in its results and that stato rights are
paramouut to tho authority of tho United
States government.
Dr. Julian Czupkn, L. L. D., lato of Phila
delphia, followed with an address in tho
Polish language and his remarks brought
forth frequent outbursts of hearty applause.
The doctor was eminently qualified toaddross
hlscountruion. Ho is a native of Austria
Poland and a graduato of the Lemberg
University, Austria, where ho mado a special
study of political economy. Ho lias resided
u this country 15 years. Adam Tabor, tho
butcher, tried to argue with the dor tor at the
close of tho meeting, but was unable to bold
his ground, despite the hope of P. V. If 1. 1 -stein,
who engineered the movement in
behalf of the silvcrites, and who did not
have the courage to tackle the doctor himself.
lioinau Dauksha, of Shamokin, spoke to
tho Lithuanian portion of the assemblage
and his remarks wuro enthusiastically ap
plauded. lloth speakera woro questioned by Tabor
and when thoyunswotod him and knocked
oir tho coating of information he had re
ceived beforo attending the meeting ho ro
sorted to taunting tho speakers that they had
been hired to speak to their countrymen.
Pictty nearly everybody is going to Fer
