(Laughter ) When I have tried to be Don parti ( san 1 have not always sue caedet3; but today I am not going to try. I think < you are a pood deal as they were at i , meeting I once addressed at Buckhorr school house, baok In 84. As I wen ( In the bouse, a little school house, one , Of the Democrats whispered to me: . "Hit 'em bard, there Is not a Repub , llcan here." (Laughter) It was h-* i Idea of a gooa meeting. (Laughter ) But I bad & splendid chance 10 say ar . I wanted to say. The faot 1b I reall; J ei joy a meet id g better If some r-pir licans are present. I bate to cc?k speech od great questions, in grea: < orlses, and feel that all the people ( whom I am ta'kiDi,: to are all rtgb and don't need wbai:, I say. I like to feel that possl ly there ma k be some ooe who ought to be saved < and I can after awhile look baok an feel that I have saved seme one as * bran from the burning, but if 1 cannot -make a speech to R^.publicum ; here, I can make a isp eob like I woulr. maka to Republicans so that you may know how we talk to them up Nortl < where they need talking to. (L&ugb , ; tor) TBIBUTK TO CHRISTIANITY. ( My trip arounl tbe world has beei ; an in&truotiva one, it bas given me ' great enc uragement. I was glad tba' ' this meeting was opened with prayer 1 I have been a ir ember of tbe Oailb tlan ohmoh since I was 14 I hope 1 ! have gro*n In graoe, as they say. 1 think I bavo learned to appreciate 1 the Christian Ideal more tban I ever ; did before, for I Lave seen the need of ' It in tbe Orient, anc- I have returned with the belief that what tbey need 1 ; t*>i> Orient more tban anytblDg else i? ; the Christian id^al that wll! giv^ tneir a conception of life worth living uj 1 * to. J When In China tbey to'd me that * ihev were living no to the Confuo'.out, 1 Ideal, and tb&t in our oountry we are j not living up to the Christian Ideal. ' and I told them tfoat a man could fab j short cf the Christian Ideal and ye1 1 live on a much higher plane tban 8 man who lived up to the Confuolou; Ideal. It Is the glory of cur ooncep ; tlon of life, the Christian ideal, aut- ' while It is within sight of every one ' it is beyond the reach of an? to en- -1 tlrely fulfill it. 1 I was glad to find everywhere that i democracy was growing. Democrac} 1 means the rule of the people. We h&v } not visited a land but we f jund there . evidence of growth of the demooratlc j Idea. Nothing more impresses one than the fact that there is not a na j tlon on earth where its seed has noi 1 been sown in places where tt Is not s now making progress Even in Tur c key, the most backward of all those 1 nations, a man was talking to me one \ day on the beat?the next day he sen : me apologias because he did not talk longer. Ho said that he had some re form ideas, that he was under suspfc t Ion, that he saw a spy watching bin. s when he waB talking to me and he was . afraid to talk any longer. They are c talklrg reform everywhere, ere work ; ing toward the Democratic ideal. It j is growing In this oountry I ; niAAi Vr a# fKIa nvntoKh a ftov q . Will \JL ?uio Kivn VU aivwi ? L while. I come to bring: you words of en j oouragement In regard to the ultimate i triumph of these ideas to whioh you \ have stood re steadfastly. * Before 1 do that I want .to dwell a , little while od a subjeot that has beer t brought before the Southern people j by one of the members of the oabiaet, t Seoretary Leslie M Shaw, who is vis t ltlng North Carolina, making tariff c speeches, especially in districts where e they have small Republican majori- c ties. I thought it worth while to call attention in the South to the speeoh t ' he made, and to show how completely ] this speeoh proves to you all we con- j tend for on toe tarm question, secre- j tary Shaw la one of the leading Be- t publicans, that Is, he Is one of Che { leaders in one branch of the Republi- q can party. a republican party doomed. The Bapubilcan pirty 1b divided, q and It In dividing more and more. 1 want to say to you Demror*t8, you p know what it was for Democrat to be l< divided, I want to say to you who suf- f, fered terribly while that division last- a I want to say to you who walked b _ .... ^ rlth fear and trembling through t- e in alley of the shadow of death thai th be division brought about?we have B< asned through It and our party 1- nc iow united, asd u it d on the Tight tb ide. (\cplaus?) Tne Republican ofe larty Ik j ist enr.erlnsr that valley of he shadow o. death (Laughter) And t has to gn through tue same process a ve did. Oar fight was an internal one re o decide which would control the to Demooratio party, tbe voters or th? n? iorpcratlons. That was our fight, and ga ve won it. And our fight has been >j von by the people; and we are going w urw&rd wiih the Democratic party to b( neet tbe questions and to decide them n m U e peop'm'a Bide. The same strug < fie through which we passed the K.3 a I jublicr.n pany must pass, we may pity a item, we may be sorry for them, but Ji we cannot help them. (Laughter) oc rhey have got to go through it; they si iave got to decide in their party as at we decided in ours. tl Oar party is to be conduct in the h nberest of the m* j ir Ity and not in the ei interest of organlzjd wealth. Now aa ;hat division appears more and more tl distinct the leaders on each side stand ci )UC Wltn greater sua gie*v fiuiui lence. Some R?publlo*ns say some di ihing mast b3 done some reform mus p; je unce taker.; others sa;s nothing it I aece.'sary. ti Mr. Shaw is one of the ones who ci jhinka nothing is -neccessary, and is ti )ne of tbe ' stand patters," one of th< n eaders on tbat side wbo declares that j| ibe R publican party has done every &i ihtng it ought to have done and left iothlDg undone that It should have G lone, aad that there is no unrighte al uaness in it. o Now he made a speech and I want w io 8*y to you he has not paid the South yi i very high compliment in making si he speech down here that he tried in n [owa and It was rej .oted He comes sc loan here and palms cfl second band a lew to bear an aavocate or the tarur ^ La It Is oontradicfc himself, he oannot tt nake a Bpscoh without it. SHAW CONTRADICTS HIMSELF. til When a man gets through defend &L ng high tariff he oontradlots himself Wl 13 often we are reminded of the fol- ac ow who was travelling through the & nountains?he satd that be travelled 10 i road so crooked be often met him- &li ell coming bask. Now after they lecl&ru that they annually sold foui ^ millions abroad oheaper than at home P ;e forgets all about It and makes the. 00 tatement which I am now going to ead to you. (air. Bryan read exiract from Mr. Shaw's speeoh.) He w ays In one plaoe we annually sell Iti .broad four millions a year at a muoh slower pnoe than at home, but in the ,ame speeoh tells you that on one it lundred and twenty millions?thirty ilmes as muoh?we give a draw baok dl f 5 per oents., so they can sell cheap- fo ir at home. They either do it, or >o< lon't do it. *' They either sell cheaper abroad re >han at home or don't sell it oheaper. :f they do not we have given them 5 * ier cent, to enable them to do whai? m< ror them to put money in ty iheir pockets and oolleot from the QC oreigner unless they praotioe fraud id the treasury department or they dc ell 30 times as muoh abroad as Sec- j0, etary Shaw Bays they sell abroad pa ibeaper than at home. ac He can take whichever side he eit ile&ses, whichever side he takes it pr saves htm in a position he cannot de- )8 end. He explained the foreigners uc re selling here oheaper than at ge cme, and estimates he Is selling on ^ slothes of Republican farmers of Iowa oc or brand new suits, and he tries to fc ret the people down here to accept what the Republicans of Iowa refusei oc io acoept. al SHAW WAS ROUTBD rl U | Shaw went to Iowa and made _ CE tpeeches, and he pointed out the r> .'anger of tar;ff reform, but be was ?, routed in his own party. Now he p] ones down here and makes in the 01 toush a speech that he oannot m?.k\ n Iowa any more. But I am glad he nade It, because the Damcorats can jrove their positions by the R?pub- tt tcjns. All you have to do to prove tu , our position Is to take a Republican Ql ipeeoh of any length and you will find y< ih&t the Republican not only contra Hots himself, but con trad lots all tbe t? policies and principles of his own 0] ?nrcy. Now Secretary Shaw is the Uf 'icretary of the treasuiy, and as h, ju.Ury be has to do with the tariff y( juehtlon, and he knows all about ez p] ports and import*, and in this specoh at it Salisbury he started to show that ^ *here we i xported and sold abroad dJ jheaptr than at home It waa a f*oi a, ,bat we elve a rebate on raw material y< mported fur use In making the thing m xported. (I Hd tells you the otjjot of the re w Date is to enable the manufacturer to d< sell abroad cheaper than at home. w When we first asserted it they u lenied it, and now they admit it and oi iitempt to txplain it. In tbelllustra \ jlon he gives in his speeca he not )nly admits our n anufwCLurers do seL al ibroad cheaper than at home, but he g0 idmlta tbe draw back is given?thus gl maoiing them to sell abroad cieapei si ihan at home. What else does it prove. It prove; 4i ;hat tne consumer pays the tax. A ra lraw back is given to him beoause he ? paid it, or else you must regard the ei Republican administration ver> w jenevolent to give a man money mder false pr etc nans. For years we tl nsisted that the oonsumer paid the ct tariff, and for years they denied It, w ind in Lheir own speeches they lllus- d< .rale It; but lb nukes a great deal ol 0E i.ff-rence who pays the tariff. Mr Shaw has first proved that we do sell j? ibroad cheaper than at home, and Ui lecocaiy teas iue ouuhumer pays me 51 ;ax?3, and thirdly that the Amer- g] can laborer docs not need protection tr ? enable him to receive better wages, tr In the firit part of his speeoh he )e >ays that they had an Investigation, te ihat it continued for three years, er ihat the evidence filled 18 volume* d( ind Senator dalllneer, a Dew Hamp- ai ibire K;publlcao, had gone through ie ihe volumes aud collected the data at ind stated in tbe senate that ancual- gc y there was sold abroad four millions g] orth of goods obeaper than at home, te rhat 1b ihe statement in the very >eglnnlng of his speech acd he bacii gt c up by reference to the 18 volumes he >f evidence taken In three years. It ra s eptom:zed by a Republican senator cc ind endorsed bv Seorelary Shaw. He fa tontradlots blmself. It is nothing se i av?)a?e 15 ppr cent cheaper In of is coun:ry tha~ t ey do In Eurcp?> pi: !duse of that be thinks If we do it have the tariff tbey would flood to ie country wltb gcods sold bere oa leaper tban tbey do !n Europe. fo Shaw went from the West to the pa ast, and they scared bloc, end he Is to little timid. Now I have so muob bi spect for a timtd man I do not like is i frighten him any more than is tb scessary, but to allay bis fears I will 1 y to him if we do get in power and ive a chance to revise the tar ff wf sa ould leave at leait 15 per cent., so St ; need not be scared any more of pi iving our country fljoded with cheap fo ttriscf other countries. Iam not tf 'raid of reduotng the tariff so low it d not high enough to kebp from fo aaoping on us goods from another :a mntry. In another part of hit pi >eech be went on to argue that in pi iead of selling goods abroad obeapex oi lan at borne we were selling at & ul igher price, and he mentioned sev- oi ral articles. st Let a Republican state bis propcsi- i Ion whichever way he wants to, you pi in answer it with his own argument ?1 I think we are going to have some SI iBCusslon of the tariff In the cam ec algn upon whiob we shall sjon enter (I for one will have no objection if the K iriff is made a part of the nez ot impaign.

Aboui ten years c | ago a Hcosier ricked up two pigs h ! Pennsylvania wbioh struck hfm as ( odd, and brought them home for an < ! experiment. The peculiarity of these ' ; pigs was that they had hoofs like a ] s mule?no splits, but just one solid ] foot. Another feature that struok ( r the wandering Hoosler farmer was 1 ; that his purchase, as they grew larg- ; , er, looked suspiciously like r< zor- backs, : the long snoute being especially con- j ; splcuous. This led to an inve9tiga- < lion of a genealogical nature that was , at fl.st not reassuring, as a wild-eyed , J rumor was fun down to the effect that ' these pokers with the queer pedal ex tremitles originated in Arkansas Vera3 olous chroniclers insist that the orlglnal razor-back ran wild ilong Bed ' ??<! th?nti?h the rt?nahr*tpfl nf ilYUl auu VLUUU^U wuw V?^>VVJ.??VW f r the lowlands, and they trace the r "mule-foot" In a dlreot line to these 1 plebeian forefathers.

It seems, however, that the "mole-foot," like most 1 other animals, may be Improved by ' changing Ills environments for the bet' ter, and when Introduced to tne lua? oloui Hoosier clover and the mammoth 1 corn ears of the White river bottoms he sheds a lot of his rustic character' istios and becomes more civilized.

If f the well-authenticated stories coming In may be accepted, the "mule-feet" 0 are marvels as weight-makers. In 5 fact, some of the figures are stagger1 ing.
