JARRbTfS PRACTICAL SPEECH.

A Big Turn Out of the Republican Clubs to March in ihe Mud.

THE IRONWORKER TELLS HOW THE TARIFF OPERATES.

An Argument that Appeals to the Reason of Workingmen— Local Notes.

Tlie weather can't prevent Republicans from coming out to hear Republican speakings. That was demonstrated yesterday. The rain during tho afternoon had made the streets muddy. Consequently the committee issued orders in the evening instructing clubs not to turn out for parade. But arrangements had been made before the approach of had weather and since the clubs claimed priority of arrangements they paraded despite the weather and the committee's order. Not oniy that but the parade was very creditable. The clubs waded the mud with the apparent carelessness of those who had determined upon their destination, had their course mapped out and were going to proceed at all hazards. The Ringgold band led the way followed by the various clubs. The advertised line of march was followed and the number of spectators assembled on Main street showed that the people did not expect any backing out. The car works protection tariff club followed a large banner bearing inscriptions on four sides, displaying their ideas of the present canvas as it relates to wage workers. The rmlroad club had a novel and attractive feature. It was two locomotive I lead lights, locomotive lanterns and a locomoti vo bell ou a wagon and the bell in motion. The crowd of spectators conferred upon this club, whose members carried lanterns, the ribbon. The b)ng line 5)f torches on Main street would have made it appear that there had been no bad weather. As County Chairman Fans said before introducing the speaker, these men were the ones who could not be restrained and it is not known what on earth would be the result if all had received orders to turn out,. The parade would have been very creditable for fair weather, but for such a day as yesterday it was superlatively so.

Mr. Karis introduced the speaker, r. .John J. .larrett, who applied himself directly to the tariff question. Mr. Jarrot.t has had much to do with the wage system of this country in his capacity of president of the Assocociation of Amalgamated Iron and Steel workors. His eminence in this respect was also recognized by the congressional labor committee which consulted with him when taking evidence upon that subject, some years ago. The speaker began with the fundamental principles of the taritl and allowed how it had been regarded and II tali zed by England and by both parties in the United States, lie refuted the denial, offered by the Democrates that they are free traders, very uniquely and completely by saying that it was no more necessary for a party to recommend the placing of everything 011 the free list before we might bo allowed to call it a free trade party than it is that a man should utter nothing but lies before he becomes a recognized liar. The audience grasped the point in full, lie said that the tariffs 'Hi and T7 were called free trade tariffs by both parties, and that the tariff proposed by the Mills bill, being a long stride in the same direction, could not be regarded otherwise. lie paid his compliments to England by saying that she had enjoyed a protective tariff system for ."1.0 years while circumstances were favorable for that policy with her. ward the III. began the policy by imposing export duties, because England raised the finest wool, but manufactured only coarse woolens, while the remaining liner wool was exported for manufacture. By prohiditing the exportation of

Knglish wool Edward Jhe TIT. had compelled foreigners to come to England with their machinery to get the wool for use. So with Elizabeth, and with Cromwell, who drove the Dutch transfer ships from the high seas. England adopted her so-called free trade measures only when she considered it to her best interests.

I 1838 the laboring men of the United Slates organized for the first time. They organized to support the protective tariff system so that the standard of labor and wages would be sustained and with this in view they elected General Harrison president. In those days and in after years the free trader argued that the consumer must be cared for while the Whigs and Republicans have ever argued that the producer must be cared for. The former says, why dig coal and iron and lime stone and pay laborers 79 cents per ton for their work when it can lie procured from other countries that pay their miners but 3 cents. But Mr. larrett very aptly added that 79 cents paid at home and kept at home is much to be preferred from a business point of view. To clinch the proposition he said that the limit of difference between the wages of English and American laborers was almost exactly proportionate to the difference in the degree of protection to the several articles on the schedule. Then the laborer receives the protection, aud that is what he wants. Following in this same line he said thnt he came to this country in 13(0, a Democrat and free trader because he had been brought up that. But his wages in England as a puddler was $3.25 per ton: here they are paid $3.50 per ton. 1 England they are now paid 81.05 per ton, while here they receive 85.50 per ton. These were and are the highest wages paid in both countries. This was but one of the many employments that might be considered. There comes an appeal for the protection of the carpenter, bricklayer, stonemason and others. This he met by the statement of a principle recognized by those who have to consider the adjustment of wages. It is this: that the wages paid to manufacturing workmen and farm-hands constitute the basis on which all other wages are regulated. Thus the wages of the tailor, shoemaker, carpenter and all others are regulated. Then it follows that the greater the diversity of manufactories, the better the condition of labor in every

THE TERRE

jine. Even the free trader's stronges argument, viz: That wages are higher in free trade England than they are in protected Germany did not remain unassailed. He gave the reason for this a reason substantiated by facts that are of history, and by those not yes old enough to become history. German laborers do not receive as much wages as the English, but Germany instituted a protective tariff only in 1879, while England then had protection benefits of many years. There was then a vast difference, but now glass blowers in England receive 21 cents per box in Germany and 20 cents in England. Not that alone, but English laborers are now idle while Germany ships her products into English markets and sells them.

He then spoke of the immigration from England to tbis country and asked himself the reason why this was going on. During the last ten years more than one million had come here from Great Britain, 4,000,000 people had come to this country became here they could be better fed, clothed, and coukl have more liberty as citizens. They could obtain more work and better pay could live in more comfortable homes and own more of them. He spoke of the importations of iron and steel from Eogland to this country and said that England's export trade had fallen of 17 per cent, within the last six years but while such is the case this country is advancing under her protective system. Last year we manufactured 8274,000,000 worth of woolen goods while [in '82 we made but 8210,000,000 while England had a proportionate decrease. England's exportation here of steel rails is also rapidly falling off while last year we manufactured more than 1,000,000 tons of steel rails more than in '82.

Again the imports of England exceed her exports. The balance of trade thus against her. Under low tariff was so with us but during the last fifteen years there has been a balance of trade in our favor of SI,760,000,000, and during that time and bv reason of that fact the public debt has come into our own hands. It should be remembered in this connection that the balance of trade is the most exact criterion by which the thrift of a nation can be judged.

figures to was con-

Mr. Jarrett's command of substantiate his statements elusive. He closed his speech with a brief review of the candidates and an eloquent appeal to employes to maintain the proper respect and to fulfill proper respect they owed to their employers. Not only this but employers owed similar obligations to the employed. He also appealed to his countrymen to think of their homes in England that little kitchen, dining-room and parlor that they were all in the same room but think of them all the same and compare them with their homes here. Also should they remember that Grover Cleveland vetoed every important labor law that was proposed while he was governor of New York. But Harrison's record was unmistakably with them. Mr. Jarrett is an eloquent, earnest speaker, and the facts at his command are more eloquent than any appeals that can be promulgated, lie was interrupted by applause frequently and the audience gladly gave him three cheers at the close. Then with three rousing cheers for the entire ticket the meeting adjourned.

Miss Anna Dickinson the eloquent platform orator, will speak at the Republican wigwam here on Monday evening, September 24. Miss Dickinson is of recognized superiority as a platform lecturer.

The Harrison and Morton Railroad club will meet hereafter on Tuesday nights at Vigo hall, on Second steet, between Ohio and Wabash streets, according to arrangements made with the West End Hustlers, who meet their regularly.

Mr. George T. Hammons, of Springfield, 111., was in the city yesterday, in the interest of the Messenger, a paper publif^^l by and for colored Democrats. It is wefrto be on guard, as some might subscribe for a paper which they would much prefer not to have, without asking a question concerning its political nature.

Messrs. S. Daniels and C. H. Washing ton addressed a rousing meeting of Republicans at No. 9 school house, in Linton township, last night. The house was full and standing room in demand. The audience was anxious for the orators to come again.

Mr. John Jarrett says that farmers and laborers everywhere are taking greater interest in the tariff this year than ever known in the history of this country. He has been speaking in^ Wisconsin and other parts of the Northwest. and the farmers have been going long distances to listen to the discussion of that topic.

The measure of the Gazette's condemnation for publishing the reckless misrepresentation of Congressman Johnston's meeting at Riley a few nights since is full and running over. Not only Republicans but Democrats of Riley are condemning the Gazette and its anonvmous correspondent. Mr. P. 1. Brill, one of Riley's foremost business men, is direct authority for both the above and the following: There were 500 Democratic voters at the Johnston meeting and there were at least 1,500 people, all told, present. Both members and enthusiasm were exceedingly gratifying to the managers of the meeting and their party associates. The speech too was well received and things were reported to the Gazette that were not said. Moreover the reporters of that occasion to the Gazette were not at the meeting. They remained at their homes in the adjacent neighborhood. There are fifteen or more persons in Riley and Pierson and southern Lost Creek townships, who have been life long Democrats and who are avowed workers for Harrison, Morton and protection this year. That is what makes the unterrified of Riley so angry that they are poisoning themselves with their own bite and venom.

Veterans of the Grand Army Stop to See the Next President oLthe United States.

VISIT OF THE CHICAGO IRISH AMERICAN CLUB

General Harrison Makes a Speech. That Sets Them to Cheering Enthusiastically.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., September 15.— The first delegation to visit General Harrison to-day was a company of sixty G. A. R. veterans from Missouri en route home. At 1 o'clock they marched out to the Harrison residence carrying their muskets. At 3 p. m. a delegation of 1,200 will arrive from New Albany, Ind. The Irish-American Republican from Chicago and Greencastle, Ind., are expected about the same hour. Special preparations for the reception of the Irish-American visitors have been made by the local Irish Republican clubs and the Columbia club, who will escort visitors from the depot. The Irish delegations will be received by Gen. Harrison about 5 o'clock.

A company

of G. A. R. veterans from Texas headed by Colonel J. C. Degress, of Austin, arrived at 2 o'clock from Columbus. They brought a huge pair of Texas horns, which will be presented to General Harrison this evening. The company.of Missouri veterans, the first to visit General Harrison to-day, were the Scott rifles, Captain Brandt, of Kansas City. As they formed in line in the yard Cieneral Harrison appeared on the bteps, and was heartily cheered. In introducing his company Captain Brandt told the general they were members of the National Guard they had not come with any malicious purpose, and that in bringing their arms with them they did not intend to do him any violence. General Harrison responded:

Captain anil comrades—I did not need to be assured that comrades of the Grand Army, whether beating arms or rot, brought me no peril. No loyal and orderly citizen will mistrust their friendliness. The people of Indiana will not ask that you procure any permit or give bond to keep the peace before passing through tills loya' state with arms In your hands, am especially conpltmented by the visit of this organized company of Missouri militia composed wholly of Uuton veterans. It gives evidence that those who served in the civil war are still watchful of the honor and safety of our country and Its tlag that our government may rest with security upon the defense which our citizensoldiers offer. And now without alluding at all to anv topic of partisan interest I bid you welcome and will be pleased to have a personal Introduction to each of you, 11 that is your pleasure.

Each member of the company was then introduced to the general. The delegation from New Albany and Floyd county, over a thousand in number, was the next to pay its respects to General Harrison. Their spokesman was James Atkinson, a glass-blower at the DePauw Glass Works, who spoke at slme length, touching wages and tariff. General Harrison replied as follows:

MY FELLOW CITIZENS:—There is something very distinctive, very interesting and very instructive In this large delegation of workingmen from the city of New Albany. Your fellow workman and spokesman has S3 eloquently presented that part of the is tie in which you have the greatest interest, that I can add nothing to the force of conclusiveness of his argument, fle has sold that the Interests of workingmen were especially involved In the pending political contest. I think that Is conceded even by our political opponents. I do nut think there Is a man so dull or so unfair as to deny that the reduction of our tariff rates fo as to destroy the principle of protection now embodied in our laws will have an inItuence on your wages and on the production of your mills and factories. If this be true, then your Interest In the question Is apparent. You will want to know whether the Influence of the proposed reduction of rates is to be beneficial or hurtful whether the effedt will be to stimulate

01 diminish protection whether it will be to maintain and increase the wages you are now receiving, or to reduce them. As you shall settle these questions so shall you vote In November. [Applause.] No man can doubt that a reduction of duties will stimulate the Importation of foreign merchandise. None of these plate-glass workers can doubt that a reduqtlon of the duty upon plate-glass will increase will Increase the Importation of French plate-glass. None of these workers in your woolen mills can doubt that the reduction of the duty upon the product of their mills will increase the Importation of foreign woolen goods. And If that is true, Is It not also clear that this increasrd importation of foreign made goods means some idle workingmen in your mills? The party that favors such discriminating duties as well develops American production and secure the largest amount of work for our Am-rl can shops is the party whose policy will promote your interests. (Applause and cries of "Hit him again.' I have heard it said by some leaders of Democratic that the reduction proposed by the Mills bill, and the further reduction which some of them are candid enough to admit thfy contemplate, will stimulate American production by opening foreign markets and that the interests of our Indiana manufacturing establishments would thus be promoted. But those who advance this argument also say that it will not do to progress too rapidly In the direction of free trade that we must go slowly, because our protected industries can not stand too rapid an advance It would not lie safe (Laughter.) Now, my countrymen, if this plan of revenue reform Is to be promotive of our manufacturing interests, why go slowly? Why not open the gates wide and let us have the promised good all at once.. (Laughter and applause.) Is It that these philosophers think the cup of prosperity will be so sweet and full that our laboring people cannot be allowed to drink It at one draught? (Applause and cries of "Good, good.-') No. my countrymen. this statement Implies what these gentlemen know to be true: that the effect of the proposed leglsla tlon Is diminished production and they desire that you shall have an opportunity to get used to It. (Applause.) But I cannot press this discussion further. I want to thank you for the cordial things you have said to me bl him who has spoken for you. I trust, and have always trusted that intelli-

enee and the conscience of our working people. They will inevitably find out the truth and when they And it, they will justify it. Therefore there are many things that have been said to which I have not, and shall allude while this contest Is on. They are with you: the truth is ac esslble to you and you will flna it. Now. thanking you most heartily for the personal respect you have evidenced, and congratulating you upon your Intelligent devotion to that great American system which has spread a sky above you and your children. 1 bid you good bye" [CheersJ.

Late in the afternoon the Texas veterans, headed by Colonel J. C. Degiera, who is also chairman of the Republican state central committee of Texas, called at General Harrison's residence and presented him with a beautiful set of mammoth Texas steer horns, measuring forty inches from tip to tip.

Late in the afternoon a train with 300 members of the Irish-American club of Chicago arrived. On account of rain the reception was held in the Dennison hotel. John P. Boggs acted as spokesfor the visitors. General Harrison said:

Mr. Boggs. and friends of the Irish-American Republican club of Cook county I1L You were Irishmen you are Americans [cheors], IrishAmericans fcontlnued cheering], and though you have given the consecretcd loyalty of your warm hearts to the stary flag and your adopted country, you have not, and you ought not to forget to love and venerate the land of your nativity. 1 Great applause.] If you could forget Ireland, If you could be unmoved by her mlnstrdlsy, untouched by the appeals of her splendid oratory, unsympatheUc with her heroes and martyrs I should fear that the bonds of your new citizenship would have no power over hearts so cold and consciences so dead. [Cheers.] What if a sprig of green was found upon the hiooily jacket of a Union soldier who lay dead on 1 Missionary Ridge? The flag he died for was his

Upon peaceful and lawful lines HI jet seenre for Ireland that which as Americans we so much value, local home rule. (Continued cheering.) I am sure that you woo have In your own persons or In your worthy reprepresentatlfM given such convincing evldency of your devotion to the American constitution and tlag and to A merlon Institutions will not follow In thl» great civil contest to which your spokesman has. fittingly described! Who, If not Irlsh-Aniirtcans, versed In the sad story ot the commercial rain of the island they love, should be Instruced" In the benificient Influence of a protective tariff, i^tjwl and continued chferlng.J Who. If not I rial leans should be able to appreciate the frl Influences of the protective system upon their individuals and upon tneir home. [Applause.] Which of you has not realize that not the lot of men only, but tw lot of women, has been made softer and easier iftder Its Influence. (Applanse and "hear," "hear,! "that's what's the the matter.") Contrast the Jimertcan mother and wife, burdened only with the cares of motherhood and of the household with the condition of women In many of the countries of the old world where she is loaded also with the drudgery of toil In the fields. (Applause.) I know that none more than Irishmen who are so characterized by their deference for woman, and whose women have so liily Illustrated that which is pure In female character, will value this illustration of the :ood effects of our American system upon the _iome life. [Long continued applause.} There are nations across the sea who are hungry lor the American market, fCries of "You bet they are," and "That's right," and "they won't get them, They are waiting with eager expectations for the adoption of a free trade policy by the United States [Cries of "That will never happen" |. The English manufacturer tt persuaded that an increased market for English goods In America is good for him, but I think it will be Impossible to persuade the American producer or the American workmen that it is good for them [Loud applause and cries of "That Is right"']. I believe that social order that national prosperity are bound up In the preservation of our existing policy. [Loud cheering and cries of "You are right."] I do not believe that a republic win live and prosper whose wageearners do not receive enough to make Mfe comfortable, and do not have some upward awnues of hope open before them. When the wage-earners of the land lose hope, when the star goes out social order Is Impossible and after that one why on the czar. (Cheering and cries of "that's It.") I gratefully acknowledge the compliment of your call and exceedingly regret that the storm without made it impossible for me to receive you at my house. (Applause and cries of "tnanks," "thanks.") I will now be glad to take each member of your club by the hand. (Loud and long continued cheering.)

Each one of the visitors was then presented to General ^Harrison who also shook j^hands with a large number of veserans congregated in the city, en route home. At the conclusion of the reception (general Harrison returned home, and the visiting clubs marched to Tomlinson hall, where a largely attended mass meeting was held to-night. Ex-Governor Porter and several members of visiting delegations spoke on the issues of the 'campaign. The Chicago club will remain in the city until to-morrow.

THKRFC'S TROUBLK BREWING.

The Street Commissioner Jisobeye«l—'Tliat Main Street Grade.

For a time yesterday morning there was some excitement at the corner of Fifth and Main streets caused by a repartee between Street Commissioner Kinser and an employee of the Street Railway company. The double tracking of Main street has been completed as far as Third street, but a gangjof men have been replacing the stone crossings which were torn up by the company. As Kinser was passing he noticed a workmen drilling holes in a large crossing stone.

What are you going to do?" asked Kinser. "I'm going to break this stone in two," was the reply. "Well, you are not," said the commissioner. "If you do you will have to pay fot it."

The laborer replied that he had orders to break the stone and he proposed doing it. If it were to be paid for the car company would have to do it. He was employed to break the stone and he would not disobey his employer. He refused to stop and went on with his work, disregarding the commissioner. Kinser called attention to the fact that there were smaller pieces of some lying about which could have been used between the tracks, but what was wanted was one stone just large enough to fit the space. In a short time three holes were drilled and the stone cracked when a blow was struck at the end. Councilman Sam Hybarger came up at this moment and declared that the company would have to pay for the broken stone. A crowd collected to witness the proceedings. The workmen rolled the stone across the street to place it into postion. In doing so they broke it diagonally across, and it was no better than if smaller stones had been used. The query is, whether or not Commissioner Kinser and Councilman Sam Hybarger will make the car company pay for the broken stone.

Councilman Thomas Donham, of the Sixth, said to a reporter yesterday that the committee on streets and bridges, of which he is a member, would recommend to the council the paving of Main street with Southern granite. The committee visited Cincinnati, St. Louis and Chicago. Intheir opinion the streets at Cincinnati were the best paved, Georgia granite being used. At St. Louis, Missouri granite was employed, and at Chicago, Wisconsin granite and Devil's Lake granite. Mr. Donham said that cedar block paving would be much cheftper, but would wear out in about ten years. Granite will last for fully fifty years. As to the cost of paving Mr. Donham said he could give no accurate estimate. The street will have to be cut down and given a grade of about four inches. There will be but little difficulty in securing a bed upon which to lay the concrete. If the street is graded the city will have to build a sewer as far as Ninth street. It can not be avoided, he says.

TERRE HAUTE'S OLDEST CITIZEN.

He Is Nearly Ninety-Nine Years Old—He Wants to Vote for Harrison.

Uncle John Dawson is improving from the effects of a recent fall, and was able to sit up this week. He regards the present presidential campaign with much solicitude, and is anxious that he may have the strength to get to the polls on election day and vote for Benjamin Harrison. He will be 99 years of age on November 15,1888. He has always been a Whig or a Republican. About 1837 he became very much disgusted with the character of legislation then enacted, and did not vote for three years. He had almost resolved to never vote again, but when General William Henry Harrison was nominated, his partial resolution was banished, and, returning his sta tion in the ranks of the Whig party, he voted for Harrison and has been voting ever since. He remembers President Harrison a sturdy, honest farmer and a kind, efficient general under whom he served and since Ben Harrison sustains an untarnished record he is as anxious to vote for him as he was to vote for the elder general in '40. Mr. Dawson's 99 years are telling upon him from day to day. Physically he is very weak and his memory, though bright when prompted by questions, has not the activity it once had to connect events.

Two Brazil Girls Follow the Mexican Band Here and Get Married.

?.»

The Brother of One of the Girls Tries to Persuade Her Not to Do It.

A rather sensational case of infatuation and marriage culminated yesterday afternoon before Justice Alexander Thomas. Miss Carrie Yocum and Mies Ida Arney ran away from Brazil, came to this city, and are now Mrs. J. M. Manoy and Mrs. D. G. Alvarey, their husbands being musicians in the Mexican band which accompanies'the Indian medicine man who has been selling his wares here for the past few days. On Thursday the girls, who are about

years old,

came to this city from Brazil. They attended the performance*of the doctor which was given under a tent near Eighth and Main Btreets. Officer Voit was among the crowd and chanced to stand near the girls. A brother of Miss Yocum came up and asked his sister why she had left home. She said she had left because she was married to Manoy. The brother was very much distressed and begged her to return home. He implored her in vain for she simply replied that she had been married in Brazil. Some one stepped up and whispered to brother and sister that an officer was near. They immediately left and noth ing more was learned. The girls remained in town and were seen on the street. Miss Yocum is a tall girl, a brunette and rather good looking. She is slender, while Miss Arney is fleshy, not so tall and of much stouter build. She is of .light complexion. Miss Yocum's home has always been in Brazil and her brother is now a business man of that place. Miss Arney formerly raided in Vandalia, 111., but has been in Brazil for about a pear with the Yocum girl. The Indian doctor came here last week from Brazil. While they were there the two girls were among the crowd that attended the free performances nightly. They dressed gaudily and were somewhat conspicuous. The two members of the band contrived to meet the girls, and were with them considerable while they remained in Brazil. When the band left the young women followed them here. Both of the men are Mexicans. Manoy can speak I0uglish so as to be understood, hut Alvarey can scarcely utter a single word. The former plays a cornet in the band and Alvarey tools the big horn. The licenses were procured late during the afternoon, and an effort was made to keep the affair quiet. The two couples appeared before the justice, and in a few minutes the knots were solemnly tied.

ored with a serenade by the band, which by the way, furnished excellent music. The doctor leaves to day for Indianapol is, where he will remain during the state fair.
