REED AT CHICAGO.

Thomas B. Reed addressed an immense audience In the armory of the First Regiment I. N G., Saturday night. He said, in part: “Our market has grown smaller and smaller. Until the year 1892 our mar-; ket was the greatest market In the world. Do you know what made it the greatest market? What makes a great market? What is a great market? It is a place where people have money to spend. [Applause.] When we left off having money to spend, in just that proportion we left off being a market. Cheapness without a cent of money In your pocket to buy with is bitterness to the soul.” Speaking of the statement of a Democratic tPftper that cotton cloth Is a cent cheaper than a year ago, Mr. Reed said that might bo; that the men who madtthat cloth get their cloth 10 per cheaper, bnt have lost 23 per cent, on their wages. The Kaiser is allowed a salary ol |3,852;000 a year, which is just twice the amount granted by the British Parliament to Queen Victoria.
