pie have. When the tariff’ bill was pending in the senate news was cabled from Europe that if the sugar trust schedule became a law Spain would retaliate by abbrogating the reciprocity agreement under which American produets were given special rates by Cuba and Porto Rico. So great an impression did that cablegram make on the senate that a resolution was adopted a.-king the secretary of state if tie had any knowledge of an intention upon the part of Spain or any other country to retaliate upon the United States because of the tariff' bill. In answer to that resolution Secretary Gresham said that he had no such information and intimated that nobody else had and that he did not believe any country contemplated such action. Now, when tiie :«tate department is in possession of the official notification of the abrogation of the reciprocity agreement with Spain for Cuba and Porto Rico, lie says lie is not surprised and that he expects oilier countries to abrogate the reciprocity agreements made under the McKinley law. It looks as though Mr. Gresham also allows the interests of the sugar trust to regulate his official ut-
terances.

it returns to power in 1896. The leading policy of the democratic party has been against the union soldiers; the soldiers feel that the controlling party has been against them, 30.000 having had their pensions suspended. The speaker showed the tortuous wending of a pension claim from the first examination to its final adjudication and then showed how easily it was hung up by the party in power “for further evidence.” This is a crime against the soldier, and one of the first acts of the republicans on tak ing control in 1896 will be to restore these pensions. He then showed how this was a billion dollar country now and that democracy found it greatly changed from what it was when they operated the government before They spent in appropriations $44,000,000 more money than did Tom Reed’s congress. They have cut down $29, 000,000 hut that was all soldiers’ money and if they have any credit for a reduction it is off the soldier; outside of that they have spent more money than did the republi-
cans.
Mr. Owen showed how most of the millionaires of this country grew rich under unprotected trusts. The Vanderbilts in railroads; Astors in real estate; Smith of Philadelphia in board of trade; Mackeye and Standford in mining and railroads; the Chicago princes in stores, etc., all of them unprotected, while the protected ones could be counted on two hands. He showed how Great Britiau was the home of trusts and how democracy sought to fashion this country like it. Democracy enters this campaign thoroughly crippled in ever}’ icspect. During the war the demo-
saries of life went down. They said it would close the ports of foreign markets to our goods; the year after the McKinley bill was passed we shipped abroad $202,-

some American laborer must lie idle one day. In compensation for this idleness the democratic party proposes to give him cheap goods. The three million idle men do not ask for (heap goods; they are pleading for work. The one hundred workingmen from Philadelphia who knocked vainly at the door of the ways and means committee room were not asking for tariff reduction; they were not asking for cheap goods, but for employment, and for their homes and their families. They were not even asking for cheap clothes and cheap food. They were asking for man’s natural privilege—employment. The country can gain no advantage through cheap goods that can at all compare in its min-
order out of the present ruin. His ! remarks were well received, and though following such a brilliant | man as Mr. Owen, Mr. Overstreet; made a favorable impression.
