qualify and explaio away, ard jumble, and reverse, and tarn, and trim ihz, .Igirestbat tbey hop to deceive tbe people as to tta true intent cf the assault made upon the prd ;ctiTt aystem. Ia my judgment, Mr. Mills brought Lis bill to a poor market, wbio be appears r its defender in the eity of Evansvilla. Before tbe war we had a tariff like unto that which Mr. Mills embodies in his bill, and now, prey. look tack twenty-eight years, and retail wbst a small tor.n Evansville then was. Tben look, to-day, at her population! More than 50.000 people, who are engaged in a variety and combination of manufactures aa ex traordinary. I think, aa can be found io any city of its size in the whole Union. Evansville has one of the largest cotton-mills to be found west of New Eos-land. It he five wooleo-tnills; it has ten iroo foundries; it has Ave estabhehtnents for the manufacture of steam-boilers; it bas ten carriage manufactoriss; it has seven teen establishments for tbe manufacture harness and saddlery; it has fire establishments for the) building of steam-engines; it hae eight furniture factories; it has f our establishments for the manufacture cf shoes; it has thirteen establishments for the manufacture of farm-wagons; it has tit re potteries; it has seven plauing-mllle; it has twenty establishment working in copper, tin and sheet-iron; and I might continue the list through brass foundries, stave factories, stone-yards asd tanneries, and 1 know cot bow many more, amounting in the aggregate to 150 different establishment. Does soy man in his somes believe that all these establishments, or any considerable proportion of them, would ever bare been founded and maintained and prospered in EvansviUo under the f res-trade tariff existing before the wart Or does any man believe tbat ther would continue in prosperity under a tariff of practically the same kind sow proposed by the President and the Democratic party in Congress! He knows little of the currents of trade in tbe past, or little ot the terrible competition beyond the sea, who thinks that all these results could have been produced, or could now be maintained, under a low revenue tariff, which practically means free trade. "Mr. Mills does me tbe honor, in his speech, to quote what I said upon reaching home after a year's absence in Europe, to the f fleet that a tariff was primarily for the protection of American labor. I think any man is blind whs does not see, and practically dumb who does not say, tbe same thing. Xiet me illustrate: Mr. Mills proposes to take the tariff from wool and give to our manufacturers wool from Australia as cheap as they pet it in England. I will take that as a test case, for wool is made a test case in tbe Mills bill. The wool beiogtnesame as the air and tbe light, mod tha water being tbe same, aod tbe necessity for human labor being the same, bow shall we make woolen goods here to compete with the cheap woolen goods of England unless we reduce tbe wages of the workinc men far below those now paidf A man might as well dispute an axiom in geometry ma to dispute tbat fact; and tbe inevitable result most be oca of two things that we shall lose tbe market for wools in this country, or must red ace tbe wares of the laboring man from ?Xi to 45 per cent. President Cleveland evident ly accents tbat result, for, not long ago, when pome blanket were to be purchased for our army, proposals were invited from foreign countries as well at from our American manufacturers, and an English manufacturer, bidding loweet by a few cents, was awarded the contract The money was carried out of the country, and English workmen were preferred to American workmen by tbe present administration, for the avowed reason tbat they worked cheaper. The question, as I said, was, before all things, one of wages to tbe workmen. "Man of Indiana, the Democrats address yon as though yon ware all farmers and wsre fearfully imposed upon by & hostile elass of manufacturers living in distant States. That is a great mistake. Indiana is herself a great manufacturing State, and baa within her own territory all the elements needed for manufacturing cn the largest scale. Great as are the products of her fields, the products of bsr shops, with trie multiplied power of steam and machinery, are equally great. Yon hav9, therefore, on your own soil the perfect results of protection in bringing the consumer and tbe producer close together. The farmer needs the home market which the manufacturing towns a fjord, and the manufacturing towns must have tbe suprlies furnished from the farms. Each is

required by the other, and both, working tog-ether, make a prosperous community of people. One without the other will never grow rich and powerful Look at the other side of tbe pieture, and see what a happy country we should have if the freetrader eoold enforce bis pat tbeor? of ha ring everything where he can get it cheapest. We should have our wool from Australia, our woolen and cotton goods from En gland, our silks all from France, our copper from Chill, our sIt from Turk's island, our coal from Nova Scotia, our iron-ore "?m Spain, ocr steel tails from England, our rgttvg-ad JSM&L-mae winery from Belgium. It would be a free-trader's paradise to see thie condition of aiTairs, but protectionists instinctively know a bet- r and a wiser policy. They know that if all tbe articles named shall cost mere within our own borders, the grand compensation is found in liberal wages to American .workmen and in millions of happy American homes. Mr. Elaine's address received the closest attention, and at its close a well-known and influential Democrat remarked: "Blaine is a logical talker. He gets more into a few words than any man I er heard. What he says is worth thinking ever. Colonel Snowden gave such satisfaction that at the conclusion cf Mr. Blaine's remarks he was again called to the front and compelled to once more address the audience on the subject of Mills's address of the nigbt before. The crowd seemed to enjoy hearing the Pennsylvania orator dissect the Texas nan's address. Before closing, the Colonel paid both General Harrison and Judge Gresbam glowing compliments. Gen. A. P. Hovey, Republican candidate for Governor cf Indiana, next addressed the audience in a ten minutes' speech. He was followed by Hon. Frank B. Posey, Republican ean- - didste for Congrats in the First district. . At night another demonstration took place, far eclipsing in numbers and beauty the ore of tbe fornoon. Colonel Snowden addressed a large audience at Evans's Hall Mr. Blaine left at 10 T. t . via the Louisville, Evansviile & St. Louis road, for Louisville, where he will spend Sun day. OTHER MEETINGS IN THE STATE. Thomas It. Reed Reviews the Record of the Democratic Party on the Tariff Question, (pedal to tee Indianapolis Journal. Fost Watnx, Oct. 13. This eity was again the sesne of an enthusiastic Republican meeting vnight Hoc. Thomas B. Reed was the chief aod the mammoth Princess Rink, with a seating eapactty or tuny 3,009, was crowded to its utmost capacity. When introduced, Mr. Reed disclaimed any unking feeling towards Democrats, because be believed thou sands of them were with us in this campaign. and whatever be should say against that tarty would ha more in a spirit of sorrow for its weakness than cf arger for shortcomings. He said that In every presidential campaign some new issue waa presented to tbe people, and, although the tariff question had several times before figured in national contests, it had this time boon accept

ed by both parties as the one great question to be passed upon by the voters of the Nation. Reviewing the history of protection, Mr. Reed said that before the war the South possessed a vast amount of labor labor endowed only with muscle aod brawn as mind was impossible in slavery. The Southern statesman and planter thought cotton waa king and always would be. and tbe labor of the South was almost exclusively employed in its cultivation. The proudet of this labor was sold in European markets, and, naturally, in return the Southern man favored a system which would allow him to purchase bis supplies and necessary machinery in the cheaper English market, and have them imported free of duty. On the other hand, here was the vast section lying north of Mason and Dixon's line, populated by a free people a people not only free btft Intelligent a people interested in manufactures, and, in consequence, favoring the exclusion of the products cf foreign labor. Thus arose an antagonism between the two sections cn tbe question of protection, which, as proven by tbe Mills bill, still ists. Speaking cf the present attitude of the mocratio leaders, he riid: The Democrats of to-day deny that they are for free iraie. I am glad they do because that relieves me join the neces;ty of proving it. You know it is invrent in a large part of the human race to object to wx,iEup. So with Tenjocracy; they don't lite to wn up. bat it is not tbe name we are after; it is the iva. You may always know a man by the company fctteeps. Jmes.are meaningless, but association vti.1 tell. ' All of the free-trade clubs in the land are sending out great packages of documents advocating Cleveland election and iree trade. One secretary of a free-trade club came into Maiae to make Breeches durisg the recent btate election. I Uon't know whether he made any patches or cot, but jnugiog from tbe returns I believe he did. Yen may always knew what a maa will build by the tools be crrie. Now I have as much respect for Mr. Mills a gentleman ss I have lack of confluence in his states-d-.-iP gir to tod

selected. Tbe country has been groaning fin

her mind) under the immense surplus. She groaned for a month before they aelected tbe chairman of tbe ways and means committee. Mr. Mills made a speech 1 W" m in wticn t saia me uemcersts weie sot tor free trade. He also made a speech in 1SS4 (April 15) in which he sail CLt he was in favor of "free labor, free men and ree trade." 1 read this speech in the House of Kepissentatives for two reason If Mr. 31 wis were not in favor of free trade, as be said in New York, I want him to have an opportunity to justify himself. If he were in favor of free trade I wanted to see if he hsd the courage to say eo. But it seemed that he had neither the repentance nor the courage, so at the close of my remarks he turned in nia seat and said: .Mr. Ci airman, 1 don t rare It he docs have the last word, let's bave a vote.' You see we are not hunting an epithet but to find where the party President s friends stand. Kevenue reform is a name, as much as free trade, and tbe name makes no difference. The policy known by either name would do tbe same amount of harm in either case. The borse is known by almost as many different names as there are languages. But in every country in the world he is an animal that Las four legs, a mane and a taiL Cheers. J 1 he essence oz free trade is that the consumer pars th tax not only oo imported goods, but upon goods cf home manufacture. J adge Tharmtn, an ancient Roman, speaklog at Port Huron, very close to Canada, stud that the consumer paid the tax, and that all of the tax on imports went to the national treasury while all the duty tbe consumer paid on good of our own manufacture went into the pockets of the manufacturer. This money ii all wasted. If the consumer pays the tax. as .President Cleveland sa:d in bis Uecvmber mes?a?e, Jude Thurman is right, and we've been doing that absurd thing. If Judge Thurman is right, every man who doesn't want to waste money would naturally wast free trade, to avoid wasting this money, it matters not whether they call it revenue reform or free trade; it's the essence of protection. Suppose a man should paict a very largo representation of a livintr cow and should tack it nn there on the wall and raint undr in the larg esfof big black tyre, "Ihis 1 not a cow. "would that prevent the living or itd rial from giving milk? One of these men, whose faces detectives study, when sitting before a camera fr a likeness, to be used by the detectives, distorts bis face. He doesn't look th same as when sitting for a picture for his wife. But there is the same substanee ip. front of the camera. We are looking for the sub star.ee and not for the shadow. lie then turned his attention te the wool subj?ct and sbowed tbat in the East tbe Democrats, advocated free wool to encourage manufactures, and that in tbe West they advocated free wool so that the farmer's could get bigger prices. while they told tbe laboring men everywhere that free wool means cheap clothing. Then he added: The Republicans in 1S3 reduced the tariff on wool 10 pur cent. The !emoerats went into Ohio and de feated them on that fact alone. Then they said that a 10 per rent- redaction minel everything. Now they sav that the removal of the remaining 90 per rent, ot th duty on woe I by Democrats will improve matters. The ability to manufacture depends upon a market to take the products. The' say that the tarij has i f.tl.T? to do with wazes. lo avoid nenres to be store bled over he used one of moderate pretentions. Suppose that 3,000 men prcduee $5,000,000 worth of goods.

Whvn ar the bet wagesT When two men seek ne job cr whan two jobs seek one mauj It wAaM be impossible to follow Mr. Reed in his masterly arraignment of tbe Democratie leaders for their trade heresies, but the speech, as a whole, was tbe most convincing of any delivered daring the present campaign. After Mr. lieed had finished. Colonel Bridglaud, of Indianapolis, was called upon, aod made a vigorous eoeeeh ot about twenty minutes, ana was frequently and enthusiastically applauded. He dwelt on the State issues, and mentioned the legislative outrages and tbe mismanagement ot State institutions. He warmlr eulogized General Harrison, whom he has known long and intimately, and made a special plea to tbe old soldiers to stand by their honored leader. After he bad finished there were loud ealls for Captain White, candidate for Congress, and he made a short speech on tbe tariff issue, whleh was well received, as bis utterances invariably are. Tbe meeting was enthusisstle and snowed plainly tbat Fort Wayne Republicans are gathering energy in the good cause every day.

THE GREAT BATTLE-GROUND

resent Condition of Both the Parties in the Empire State of the Union. The Republican! Are United, lUrraonlous and Confident, and the Democrats Have a Monopoly cf the Political Tribulation. Secretary Fairchild and Speaker Carlisle Address a New York Audience, And Srcretary Whitney Visits the City on a Mission of Political reace-Gov. Hill Si peaks at LafsTeite and Logansport. NEW IORIC STATE. The Itepublk ans Are United, "While the Demo crats Are Crippled by Disseasions. Special to tba Indianapolis Journal. New York, Oct. U With tbe election only twenty-six daya off, there ia special encouragement for Republicans in tbe fact tbat about all the tribulation hereabouts Is for the Democrats. New York State is at present tbe great battleground. It is here tbat tbe decisive engagement is likely to be fought. Therefore it .ia rleasurably observable that the Republican ranks show do defectiocs, while the opposing lines ot the Democracy are badly broken at various points. Governor Hill has in his speeches this week paid hardly any attention to Cleveland, ns be did at the outset of his campaign, bat bas devoted himself to bis own boom. Ilis cwn and friends' overtures to the President, inviting co-operation in the canvass, met witn no acceptance, and no surmise of tbe electioneering has settled more definitely into a certainty then that Hill will permit bis followers to vote against Cleveland. Tbe candidacy of Mayor Hewii for re-election puts forward a second enemy of Cleveland a man who scarcely gets through a day witbont telling sornsbody, in answer to a question on tbe subject, tbat be dislikes tbe President personslly very much, but tbat be will feel constrained to vote the entire Democratic ticket Hewitt has cot yet given a dollar to the national Democratic committee, and there is little probability that he will do so. Thus the expectation that the beads of State and city Democratic tickets would be inimical to Cleveland is realized to tbe uttermost. A further loss of Cleveland ballots will be caused by unexpected Labor party nominations for tbe mayoralty and one other eity ofCce. The policy of of the labor leaders is to swap votes, not slyly nut shamefully, but openly and on principle. Workingmen wiil be urged by the Labor party to bargain to vote for any candidate for any office excepting only tbe two for which Labor party candidates are in the field, provided they gain a vote for those candidates in return. In that way they calculate a large showing of strength can be made at tbe polls by their organization, since a single Labor party man may trade off his ballots sufficiently to brine in half a dc .en or more to his own cause. Of course, the talk is wild to some extent about tbia scheme, for some of its advocates declare tbat they cao elect a Mayor by means of it; but the curious movement is of consequence, when it is considered that the New Yoric State vote in 1S34 lacked only a few hundred of exactly balancing as between Cleveland and Diaine. Warner Miller has relieved tbe chief anxiety of the Hepublicans in this State. The vim and industry of tbe Prohibitionists, under tbe leadership of General Fisk, seemed at the outset likely to lsciease their former vote of about SO,000, and. as the temperance sentiment is concsdealy Kepubr.can, the dread was tbat all tbe recruits earned by Fisk wocld be a direct loss to Harrison. When Miller took tbe Republican nomination for Governor on a platform of bis own making, io which so much was promised to temperance people tbat a- certainty of loaiog votes among tbe Germans was palpable, there was a difference of kindly opinion as to the wisdon of such a radical departure. But Miller knew that be waa right, morally aod shrewdly, because bis action bas prevented a stampede of Republican total abstainers. He has personally made the most vigorous canvass known to New York in half a centnry, and tbe successful result of it is already proven by the fact tbat Fisk bas largely withdrawn bis efforts from this State, transferring them to New Jersey and Connecticut, ltut Governor Hill bas continued lively, and be and Miller bave made a round of the autumn county fairs. At these places Hill had tbe advantage of being the Governor, invited to address tbe farmers. Although be did not abuse his privilege by mentioning politics, of eourse io the character of a mere exhibit be was a help to his candidacy. But tbe Republicans ofcet this, in most eases, by seeing to it that Miller was also a visitor at the fair, aod very often be, too, was officially invited to speak about agriculture. Babies were actually kissed by both gentlemen, on tbe oldfashioned plan of reaching the hearts of the fathers through the mothers' pride and tbe infants' cheeks. Tbey tell tbat up in Onondaga county, Hill was by trick and device led to watte half a dozen kisses on babies maliciously bronchi from an orphan asylum, and imposed upon him as tbe offspring of fathers who were still voting.' If the law disqualifying as a voter every man who bets on the result of an election should be enforced, the most careful calculations of tbe campaign managers would be worthless. Betting bas beeoine in this eity almost a mania, and men hitherto unaddieted to It are now making wagers every day of their lives. Eepeeially among men whose business is at all speculative does tbe betting fever rage. Tbe traffic at tbe various down-town exchanges is intermixed with the banter wh'.ch accompanies the making of wagers. Wall-street men compelled after Nov. 8 to buy their own winter bats or overcoats, will do so with a keen sense of defeat. But tbe betting has risen and spread far beyood such trifles, and speculators have gone into it in a manner quite as business-like, to say the least, as most of the dealings io stocks. The operators aim, by taking shrewd advantage of enthusiasm, aod by following in a gene ral war the system of turf book-makers, to make a great number of bets so advantageously, in the aggregate, as to yield a certainty of some profit and a probability of a great deal During tbe week the betting on Cleveland and Harrison bas ranted about even, and yet earnest partisans bave often been ready to give a little odds on tbeir own man. Tbe business-like better is delighted when he can follow a wager of ii3 to 9100 on Cleveland by another of ?D5 to $100 oo Harrison, for by tbe combination he is sure of (5 gain. But tbe roan who is profiting remarkably without risk isTSilly Edwards, tbe ex-prize-tighter and present bouncer in tbe Hoffman House cafe. That is a nigbt heaiquartxs of sportive rounders with a desire to bet, and somehow the practice has arisen of making Edwards a sort of general scent. He takes all sorts of propositions, proclaims them, arranges acceptances and often holds the stakes. Men who thus make a facility of him are apt to be liberal with tips. Besides, he is often paid a definite price for bringing about a wager. Again, he bas excellent opportunities of making up a book on his own account. Many thousands ot wagered dollars are therefore going to be left in Billy Edwards's pockets, FAIIlCIIILTi AND CARLISLE. Tbe Secretary and the Speaker Address New York's Democratic Ilostness Men. New Y.ork, Oct. 13. Everything was favorable for the big demonstration of Cleveland and Thurman down-town business men this afternoon, and the meeting before the sub-treasury in Wall street and the subsequent procession np town were fully equal to tbe hopes of tbe managers. The meeting was presided over by Joseph J. O'Donohue. When Secretary Fairchild arose be was welcomed with a roar of applause. Mr. Fairchild said that when he addressed the business men of New York he felt tbat be was speaking to the whole eountry, maintaining tbat there was no dividing line, and that what was favorable for one section of the country was beneficial to all. Discussing tbe condition of the government's finances, Mr. Fairchild said: "In some quarters tear bas been expressed lest trouble would be caused when tbe gavernmeat might suddenly withdraw its deposits. I can imagine no state of affairs under which it would be necessary to do this suddenly. Tbe amount thus deposited Is about $57,000,000. Look at tbe last statement of assets aod liabilities, and see if a Secretary of the Treasury ever need suddenly to call lor this money, or call for

it in a wsy to cause embarrassment to general business. Tbe Postoffice Department account, disbursing officers' balances, treasurers' transfer cheeks, drafts outstanding, interest due and unpaid, matured debt, accrued Interest, and like liabilities, amounted to about $54,000,000. This sum always remains nearly constant, hence about tbat amount must always be kept on deposit somewhere to meet daily liabilities, and then, after money had been set apart for all ot these liabilities and for every other liability of whatever came or nature, against which the most foreed construction of law could require cash to be provided, there remained the balance of J9G. 444. 843. 81, aud in addition to that r24. 845.820.22 of subsidiary silver, or in all a balance of 5121,290,066. 06. It must be remembered tbat these deposits are not like ordinary deposits, but tbat bonds are given to the government as securities, which, when a bank repays its deposits, it ean at once sell to tbe government on inch terms as will give tbe bank from 25 to 30 per cent more loanable money than tbe government deposit gave it. Can any intelligent man, acquainted with affairs, say, after consideration of all these facts, tbat si Secretary was not grossly incompetent who could not manage to withdraw tbe whole or any part of the money now on deposit without causing the least general business trouble? Mind you, I do not defend tbe depositing of large sums of government money in banks; it objectionably mingles private with public business. No one can disapprove of this more than I do, but in our wrong condition of Dublio revenue, tbe only choice is tbe choice of evils. 1 maintain tbat tbe administration has cloaen the lesser evil; I claim that on the whole this perplexing business has been well and prudently managed." Of the surplus he laid: "Of coure, I believe, as does every man of sense, tbat tbe best use which can be made of the accumulated surplus, which we will not and cannot use otherwise ia to buy interest-bearing bonds with it. and stop interest charges; but it takes two to do this one to sell and one to buy, Tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury who wishes to buy must watch for him who wishes to sell, and make tbe best bargain he ean for the government. United States bonds are not lying in every bank and every broker's office here in Wall street ready to be sold at reasonable prices to the first comer, as I bave reason to know. Nor are they banging on every blackberry bush in the country. Wbat would you think of a Secretary of the Treasury who would rush into tbe street, crying. 'I have a hundred milliona of dollars to spend for bonds, and I am to have another hundred millions before the fiscal year is out, and I am likely to bave a hundred millio'ns each year for tbe same purpoic I must hare the in at once, right off; I want to stop interest.' How much interest do yon think tbat he would save by that performance! Unfortunately, in the present situation of our national finance, it is often not a question of what may be best for tbe government in dollars and cents, but bow to avert the universal ruin which our grossly excessive revenues threaten, and therefore a prudent Secretary will not try to boy too many bonds daring tbe dull stssoa lest be absorb all of tbe salable bonds and bave no means of releasing money in the active days, when money must be had to pay tbe farmer for his crops and thus precinitato a financial panic1' Speaking of the profits of national banks, be said: "I bave seen in the newspapers that Mr. Maine bas thought fit to try bis well-known skill in deceiving tbe public upod this question of deposits io national banks. He says that, with money at 5 per ceo;., a deposit of $G9,000,t 000 would be a gratnity to the national banks holding tbe money of $3,000,000 a year. Tbat is not true. Tbe profit to the banks could not exceed 1400.000 oo $00,000,000 of government deEotits, with money at 5 per cent. He says that e reads tbat Colonel Brice has a million of surplus in his bank. Until within a week I did not know whether this were true or not, for until then I did not know whether or not Colonel Brice bad a bank, or waa interested in a bank. 1 bad never before beard of bin in connection with a bank. But it was possible that thta was true, for any bank which applied at tbe proper time and offered the security would have got a deposit of that amount 11,100,000 was tbe maximum allowed to any one bank. If it had been true, it was well, for the monev was safe, as is tbe future and honor of the Democratic party in Colonel Brice's hands. After tbe postponement of this meeting Isst Saturday, I met Colonel Brice for tbe first time, and asked bim about this statement of Mr. Blaine's. Colooel Brice told me that he owned a majority of the stock of a bank io Ohio, but that the bank never had a government deposit; that he aho bad some stock in the Chase National Bank of New York, of which, if politics are to be

considered, it is proper to say that Mr. Cannon, the last Republican Comptroller of tbe Currency, is president, and that a majority of the directors are Republicans. I find that this bank did bave a deposit of ? 1,100,000, which it has repaid to tbe government recently, not finding a profit of &0,000 a year, as Mr. Blaine states, or propably any profit in the business, else it would not bave chosen to discontinue it" When Mr. Fairchild bad finished. Mr. Carlisle was introduced and was warmly greeted. Mr. Carlisle claimed tbat the Democratie policy bad resulted in benefit to tbe eountry and urged the re-election of Cleveland on the ground that it would tend to prevent a revival of sectional animosities. Tbe Republicans in the Senste, he said, bad already introduced bills and resolu tions that would cause renewal of these section al quarrel,' which ultimately would aeriously affect all business interests. These movements he denounced as unpatriotic. In speaking of tbe surplus and the tariff, be said: 4, e have been prosperous in spite of the fact that the administration and country have been embarrassed by a financial system which compelled the collection annually from the people of about 1100.000,000 more than tbe necessities of tbe government required. This enormous and unnecessary burden noon the Industries of the eountry has cot yet been removed, and I regret to say that it is not probable it will be removed at a very early day. One thing isjcertaio; the Democ ratio party in Congress will never agree to any measure which proposes to prevent tbe accumulation of a surplus in the treasury by increasing tbe taxes on the necessaries of life, and as thie is one of the prominent festures of tbo bill now under consideration in the Senate, it is not difficult to predict wbat its fate will be. Wbeu we reduce revenue we propose to reduce taxation also, and we do not propose to remove taxes from luxuries and leave them on clothing, buildiog materials, medicines, tools of trade, and other articles alsolotely necenssry to the people; but 1 do net intend to discuss the tariff question before this audience, except, perhaps, in a very general way. The necessity for reduction of revenue io order to prevent the accumulation of large amounts of money io the Treason", ajid the necessity for a reduction of taxes in order to diminish the burdens upon the people, are both recognized by the Democratic party, and in the measure which passed the House of Representatives during the present session an honest effort was made to accomplish both of these results. The Senate committee, however, in reporting a substitute for the House bill, attaches no importsnee whatever to the question of taxation upon the people, exeept so far as it reduces tbe surplus and prevents competition in our markets. "It is not and doss not profess to be a bill for tbe relief o! tbe masses of tbe people who pay taxes. It is not and does cot profess to be a bill to give tbe people cheaper clothing, or cheaper machinery, or tools and implements for use io their busmen. It is trus that the dutiss on some commodities are reduced, but with tbe exception of sugar, which is almost purely a revenue article, tbe reductions are inconsiderable and do not equal the increases. Wbat is needed now is a judicious and substantial re daction of tbe revenue, not by an incr& of taxation, but by a reduction of taxation upti tbe necessaries of life and upon the materials used in our industries. This would be of far greater advantage to our manufacturers and to the laborers who work in tbeir establishments than nil the increases of duties pro posed io the Republican t at iff bill, and besides it would afford a much needed measure of relief to tbe great body of con sumers, who at last pay for all tbe materials and ail the labor used in our mining, manufact uring and mechanical industries. With cheaper materials and cheaper machinery there, would be no necessity or excuse for cheaper labor. With wider markets for our product there wou!d be no necessity or excuse for lockouts and sus pensions of work, and labor would bave con stent employment at fair wages; capital would realize steady, uniform profits, and the con scmer would not be subject to the extortions of trusts and monopolies. The crowd of listeners contained probably 15,000 persons, independent of the business men's procession. Tbe number ot persona in line is estimated at 20,000. A substantial platform on tbe sub-treasury steps contained tbe invited guests, and it was gorgeously decorated with nags and streamers. A Isrge portrait of President Cleveland and another of Allen G. Tnurman were suspended on tbe two large pil lars of the building facing the people. DOXT LI KB THE FLAG. Futile Effort of Virginia Democrats to Capt ure the feytnbol of Loyalty, fpeclal to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, Oct. 13. It appears tbat the unreconstructed Confederacy in Virginia bas been taking desperate steps to hold the Old Dominion in the Democratie line. There can be no longer any doubt as to the unreconstructed condition of a considerable proportion of the population of Virginia, as an incident just broogbt to tbe attention of your cor respondent will illustrate. H- L. Amiss, of Jsffsrsonton, Culpepper cosnty, Virginia, has written a latter here, under date ot the 11th instant, ia

which he states that, on the night before, a

most outrageous attempt was made to capture an American nag which be keeps floating before his bouse. The flag is run np on a halliard during the day. and at nigbt is drawn down and taken into the bouse. It aets as a severe irritant upon the disloyal population in the vicinity, and a number of times threats bave been made tbat if the Msg was not taken down the owner would suffer. Oo the nigbt of. the 10th instant a party of men called at tbe house of Amiss and indueed bim to go out upon the road some distance, upon tbe representation that a neighbor was very UL When be had proceeded some distance from the bouse he was pounced nnon and eiven to understand by tbe mob tbat. unless he delivered up tbe United States flag at bis house, he wonld be killed. He said he would die before be wonld do so, and while be waa held by a part of the mob, otbers went to the bouse and demanded of tea oia lsdv that she produce the flag. Instead of banding out tbe flag she pointed a shotgun, well loaded and full cocked, in tbe faces ol too man. and eaaliv informed them that unless ther left tbe premises she would kill somebody. Tbe party fled, and Mr. Amiss, who is well-known in tbia eitv. was released. It is stated upon good authority tbat tbe men who attempted this capture of the flag belong to the F. F. V. the first families of Virginia. All of this Incident ooenrred within thirty miles of Washington. A rOLlTICALi PEACE-MAKER. Secretary Whitney Visits yCx York and Triei to Iteconctle the Factions. Special to the Indianapolis Journaa. New Vobk, Oct 13. The political tongneawtra set waggioe to-dsy by the sudden appearance in this city of Secretary of the Navy William C. Whitney. He had come post haste directly from the White House, and he lost no time in hurrying to the national Democratic headquarters. He was there for several hours, closeted with Chairman Brice in a most earnest, emphatic and confidential interview. Rumors as to the real object of the visit are 'numerous and various, but it was almost agreed, however, tbat it had to do with tbe local fight in New York, where the Democratic factions are more decidedly than ever at variance with each other. The President had deputized Secretary Whitney, the current reports had it, to employ every means at his command to prevent the impending slashing match. The local bosses, Croksr and Tower, were again summoned to a conference, but neither put in au appearance. In fact, the invitation to help save tbe President seems to bave been absolutely ignored. Power was busy trying to whip what remained of hie regiment into line for Mr. Hewitt, while Croker was engaged in an endeavor to make a deal with Coogan, tbe Labor candidate, for Mayor. Close friends of Mr. Whitney did not deny that that gentleman had declared tbat the President was alarmed over tbe aituation here, aud repeated his desire for a union candidate for the mayoralty. The President, it is well known. also expressed a wish that if tbe factions fsiled to effect a compromise on tbe msyoralty ticket., tbey would at least favor bim by nnitmg upon congressional nominees. Io this way he hopes to secure a solid free-trade delegation from tbis city. But Mr. . Whitney arrived a day to late, and it was with unconcealed indignation that he learned of Tammany's game of bin ff in having passed resolutions advising onion on congressional candidates and then turning around and naming a successor to Cummings in tbe bixth, Fitcn in the Thirteenth, and Cox in the Ninth districts, in direct viola tion of this declaration. Tbe breach between the Countv Democracy and Tammany widens, and Mr. Whitney's visit seems to bave had no soothing effect on the warring rings. A lammany aachem, to-day, when be heard of the visit . r : j a j i i . l ; oi rresiaents aia-ae-camo, remaraea, opeuiy, in tbe Hoffman House. "What's Grover Cleveland ever done for ns?

There were no demonstrations at tbe towns en route from In dianapolis. The party was met at the depot by an escort composed of tbe Old Roman Club of Purdue, the Hendricks and Blue Jeans clubs, of Indianapolis, with the First Regiment Dand and the Lafayette Drum Corps. They were escort ed to the Lahr House, where they rested until coon. I be continuous rain oi tbe put few dsjs rendered the stteeta very muddy, interfering greatly with the street demonstration, which took place at 1 o'clock. The eitv was crowded with visitors from sur rounding counties not less thsn ten thousand strangers present About 2,000 men partici rated in the parade, marching through the mud and rain, cheering enthusiastically. The feature of the parade was a drum corps of twenty young ladies wearing bandanna dresses and helmets. Too massmeeting at tbe rink convened at 2 o'clock. ExSenator French, editor of the Journal presided. Tbe buildiog was crowded to suffocation, and several thousand were unable to obtain admission. Governor Hill received aa ovation as he appeared. He spoke an hour, and was repeatedly interrupted by wild applause. Many of his tariff arguments were the same as employed at Mitchell and In dianapolis. The following is a synopsis of bis address: "Mr. President and Fellow-citizens I accept this kind reception which yon aceord, net as a mere personal compliment to myself, but as your tribute of respect to tbe gallant Democracy of the Empire State. I bring to you the greeting of tbe Democracy of tbe Empire State, and troat tbat jour canvass msy be successful here and tbat you may greet a most most magnificent victory, and trust tbat you may cot only carry the State for tbe elec toral ticket, but that yon will elect your gallant standard-bearer. Colonel Matson, who is here." Great applause. Tbe sneaker tben reviewed tbe results or trie administration, for tbe past three aod a half j-ears. "I thick," said he, T speak tbe senti ments of the people when l say tbat tbey are reasonably satisfied with this administration. ( A voice. 'You bet we sre.'I I know wbat was predicted four years ago in the presidential canvass. Nearly four years of prosperous government have given the lie to the af sertions made by the Republican party four years ago. lAnplaose. Tbey made these same assertions eight years ago. Tbey made them twelve years ago. but tbey have cow been completely aod entirely answered. Our workingmen are better employed than in years. Tbe merchants in some of our great cities, especial ly in New York city, are selling more than for years, the Southern trade being tbe best for many years. Tbis is so because, under the wiie, patriotic and statesmanlike administration of President Cleveland, tbe eountry has been entirely pacified. Tbe principal question of tbe hour is that of the reduction of taxation. The Democratie narty believes that uncecessaty taxation is unjust taxation. We believe that there has been enough legislation for classes, and we prorose to legislate for the masses. (Great applause. We believe that the interests' of tbe consumers of the country should be consulted cow, rather than tbe interests of selfish classes and intereats of monopolists. Upon tbis question the two parties divide. I know that tbe gentleman from Maine who is now in this State seeks to impress upon - the people of Indiana tbat all the blessings which they enjoy may be attributed to a high protective tariff. A voice: 'He can't do it' I suppose tbis magnificent weather of to-day may be attributed to a high protective tariff. Laughter. He seeks to prove that because, during tbe past twenty years, your population bas increased; because your farms hare been well cultivated, because, to a great extent, your industries have prospered, tbat all this may be ae counted for by tbe mere existence cf what is called a high tariff. My friends, because yon have worked hard and cultivated your farms you are entitled to tbe credit of it. and no one else. The increase of your population ia cot due to any tariff system. (Applause and laughter. Your country bas prospered, cot because of the tariff, but it bas prospered in spite of it." The Governor continued his speech at seme length, employing much tbe same arguments nssd at Inaianapoiia, and concluding with a eulogy of Cleveland and Thurman. LortAsspoKT, Ind., Oct 13. Governor Hill and party arrived at Loganrport at 7 o'clock, having made the trip from Lafayette over the Wabash road on a special excursion train, escorted by 300 members of the Hendricks Club, of Peru, Ind. A crowd of perhaps five thousand greeted tbe party at tbe depot The Cleveland and Thurman Railroad Club, wearing red uniforms and carrying lanterns, and tbe First Voters' Club of Logansport, acted as escort to the Governor's carriage. En ' route to Dolan's Opera-house, tbe procession marched - through tbe principal streets of the city. Ilany buildings were illuminated

and the streets were bloesed for squares with thousands of spectators. Tbe opera-bouse wss pseked from pit to dome. On the stage sat a glee club of fifty ladies from Koxomo, who rendered several stirring campaign songs. Dr. Graham N. Fitch presided, and at 9 o'clock Introduced Governor Hill, who spots at len-th noon tbe tariff, the Mills bill and the result of President. Cleveland's administration. Ilis discussion took a wide range, touching upon all tbe questions and issues of the campaign. Among ether things he said that the issue of this csmpaign is the tariff question. It need not necessarily be complicated one. Viewed from a non-partisaa stand-point, viewed from a stand-point of patriotism, tbe tariff is nothing more oor less than tax. Formerly it was cot considered in tbat way, but the American people are now awakening to tbe conclusion that a tariff ia eimply a tax, and therefore 1 have the right to argue from these priaisea that our beat interests will be subserved bv making taxes in thie country aa light as potsible. We are cow burdened by a system of taxation, or, rather, a rate established daring tbe war and soon after tbe war, imposed to meet tbe extraordinary expenses incident to tba war. We say that, tbe war baying ceased, the war tax should cease also. I need not argue tbat an overflowing treasury is dangerous in invitinC extravagant expenditures. Tbe presentation ox a bill to reduce tbe tariff by tbe Kepubhcan Senate is a direct retreat of that party from the position taken in tbeir platform. 1 do cot desire to misstate tbeir platform, but yon know it is) the itroncest platform they hare ever tad upon this question. The party has taken a leap in tba dark, and ever since tbey have been trying te explain why tbey did it. Voicef "Why not give ns free sugar!" My friend. I will tell you tbat the Democratie party in this very bill does prcpose to taxe a large amount from sugar. In 1&S4 and in 1SSS tbey said we must proceed gradually in these redactions, so as coS to seriously affect tbe business interests of the eountry. We believe it is wiser to take them oft gradually, ratber than take tbem off at once, and have to give tbem bounties. Cheers, and cries of "How's your sugar now!" One of tht largest itema of reduction proposed in the Mill bill is on sugar. It was only a few years ago when the Republican party absolutely opposed any reduction on sugar, but at that time tbey thought the Republican party had'eome show in the State of Louisiana wild cheering and cries of 'Give bim some uzar, but the moment tbe election to Louisiana. last spring, resulted In 75,000 Democratie majority, tben they wanted to punish that State by taking all tbe duties off eugsr. (Cbeers end cries ot "Give bim more sugar Tbe Republican parry has attacked patriotism and loyalty, and is seek ing to monopolize the American flag as an insignia of tbeir party in tbsir eodeavora to prove their loyalty. There never was a mere impudent action by any party. We took aa our insigoia tbe red bandanna of the Roman from Ohio. Cheers. They might have taken grandfather's bat. Laughter. 1 Tbe American flag does not belong to any party. It is tbe Use of our common country, for which Democrats aa well as Republicans fought Tbe Governor coneluded his address by eulogistic references to President Cleveland, which elicited wild applaufe. and wben be promised that tbe State of New York would cast her elees toral vote for the Democratie ticket, the great audience broke into vociferous and prolonged cheers. It was 10 o'clock when the Governor said his farewell words and retired amid thunders of spplanee. An overflow meeting was held at the rink, which was addressed by ex-Senator George S. Raines, cf Rochester. Both meetings continued until 11 o'clok, at which hour tbe etreeU werer yet filled with parading dabs and drum corps.
