“We favor the entire repeal of the internal taxes (on whisky and tobacco) rather than the surrender of any part of our protective system.”—Chicago platform. “The platform is in entire harmony with my views.”—Ben Harrison. “Unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation.”—President Cleveland in his letter of acceptance. “Trusts are private affairs with which President Cleveland and the people have no right to interfere.”—Blaine in the interest of “Trusts.”

“Such combinations have always been condemned by the Democratic party. The declaration of its national convention is sincer dy made, and no member of our party will be found excusing the existence or belittling the pernicious results of these devices to wrong the people. Under various names they have been punnished bv common law for hundreds of years; and they have lost none of their hateful features because they have assumed the name of ‘Trusts’ instead of ‘Conspiracies.’ We believe that these Trusts are the natural offspring of a market artificially restricted; that an inordinately high tariff, I esides furnishing the temptation for their existence, enlarges the limit within which they may operate against the people, and thus increases the extent of their power for wrong-

(doing. With an unalterable hatred for all such schemes, we count the checking of their baleful operations among the good results promised by revenue reform.” — President Cleveland in his letter of acceptance. “Unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation!” Down with the war taxes! Free raw material! Open the markets of the world! Increased consumption! Increased production! Create demaad for labor! Gives steady employment! And more remunerative wages! Stop the surplus! By reducing taxes on the necessaries of life! Leaviig the money with the people! And in the channels of trade! Is the Democratic theory.

The Republican theory is: Increase taxation! Pile up the surplus! Give the bondholders big premiums for the bonds!

Untaxed whiskey and untaxed tobacco! Cheapening those stimulants! Increasing their consumption! Untaxed gaming cards! Taxed Bibles! Untaxed poker! Taxed religion! Foster monopolies and trusts! Favor Chinese and contract labor!

At the expense and distress of our wage-workers!

vv hen we take into account the amount of money expended, and the extraordinary exertions made by our Republican friends to insure a success of their rail / today, must say they have met with a signal failure. Flaming posters had been scattered far and wide; excursion rates secured on railroads; prizes offered to delegations and a general drumming up of adjoining counties, yet it failed to draw more than about 2,500, all told—men, women and childrem—Republicans, Prohibitionists and Democrats. Compared with the meeting, called to hear Mr. Porter eight years ago it is a fizzle! General comment this afternoon on the efforts of Messrs. Porter and Harvey, the latter posing in the character of a laboring man, is that of disappointment on the part of their friends.

The republican speakers to-day in their efforts to convince their hearers that they did not feel the burdens of the war taxes, and that the Milla bill is sectional in its features, proved a dismal failure.

Some of the delegations at the meeting to day contained a number of Democrats, hirsd and paid for the occasion. Th * prizes offered was the impelling motive that inspired the projectors of the scheme. The g. o. p. is on its last legs.
