[ DEMOCRAT“?iiAhMtiiitAirtixti. l l A Rousing Meeting in tho Opera lluuuc Inst Night. 3 The Cleveland and Thurman Club, of} the borough, raised their large and hand-i some banner last. night amid a glare of l fireworks. Heine’s band was stationed: on the sidewalk and made tho musing, After the banner had been raised all; hands wont to the Opera House, which was packed. llvinc‘s band was stationed 3 in the front and they discoursed good‘ ”music. In the background of the stage, was hung a picture of Cleveland and; Thurman. Lori Warner called the nieet- , ing to order and then read a list of vice; presidents of the club and invtted them - to take seats on the stage. Among the“ list of names read, the reporter noticed one which is on the Republican roll and was put there of the man‘s own free will. . After the vice presidents had taken their seats Asa Smith presided over the mect~ ,: ing, and iii a few words introduced; Hurry Ii. Clifford, of New York. Mr. ‘ Clifford begged the attention of the nu- dlence, and said he should make an ad- dress, the like of which he never before had made. He said for the first time in a decade the two parties wore arrayed against each other, and it was kindness against brutality and falsehood. The issue of free trade was it ffllrltflflf‘ld and it» should endeavor to show it. He then . rcferrtd to the war of the rebellion as the late unpleasantness and said the taxes had increased until now there was in the United States treasury a surplus- a nounting to “15,000,000. After that unplcmntness the first thing the Repub- licans did was to remove the tax on irr- Comc and on playing cards, while they left the tax on tho holy bible ‘13 per cent. Mr. Mills found it necesmry to reduce taxation. tbs poor man numb-d it, the, rich did not want it,and he cited to show , that there were not runny rich tneninl the Democratic party. and said that till the millionaires in the party could be. counted on the flout-rs of one hand. Mr. i'lltford thought timber and tin should be on the free list: timber, because we, could then becomootic of tho mmt ex-: tensivc shipbuilding nations on earth, and tin, because the poor man needed it, to carry his dinner in. Salt should also be on the free list, because everybody was obliged to use it and it was used iii smelting gold and silver. He said that the democracy had to fight as they never fought before, and it was no child's play to Win, and likened the man who would desert. the democratic party to one who i Wtilllil desert his general after being led into the jaws of battle. If wool was, put. on the free list he thought the stntel of Connecticut would dcrivo great belie- flr from it. The talk about the solid ‘ south was all nonsense and he was willing ; to "Let her go Gallagher." Mr. Clifford said his talk had been a dry one but he; was looking for votes, and the rcpubli—‘L can party would smell tho stench of their own corruption after November. Mr. Clifford was a good speaker and at times was quite eloquent. The next speaker was A. ll. Ilnvrrion,‘1 assistant district attorney of New York. l Mr. Dawson made a brilliant speech; which was listened to with the closes“ attention. He was quite dramatic. flint whole argument, which was a small one, ‘ was against protection to the farmer. l He said I! much its to any that Grover7 Cleveland was the only honest man in, tho world ml if he should did they] could not tell where to find another one. The meeting broke up with three chem for Cleveland and Thurman at to o'clock. l Thought Ila Wits (luv. Abbot. Inst evening I committed cams down from the borough to meet (for.

We are a nation of consumers us well u laborers. This statement would sound very silly to the masses of toiling men and women, were it not for the fact that in the present protection craze we bear little or nothing about the con- sumer. A man, in South Norwnlk for It is natural then, that any appeal to him as to protection for his own trade should stir his sympathies and prejudice his rote. Brit, what is good for him is good for other workers. Secretary Manning in his‘ report of 1885 stated that the present number of distinct taxes is considerable over 4,000. There are thirty-six different rates of taxes-or "protection" your republican friend would call it—upon the single article of woolen cloth, imported to this country, England gets the entire bulk of her renvenue tariff front about five articles, namely fruit, tea, wine, spirits, and tobacco. The republican party, evidently anxious to cater to the grow- ing nntmaloon feeling in the country, proposes to take the revenue off from liquor and tobacco, and of“ccurse, to consequently increase the price of every- rthing else which the laboring man has to buy. The surplus in the treasury, shows that Uncle Sam's income is abundant. He has more than the combined wisdom of his distinguished statesmen has been able to dlSPOt‘t’ of. And there» fore, if Uncle Sam, getting only a small per cent. of the great income of this country, isso well to do, what of his subjects, the people? Who has the rest of thesurplus? If you admit that the miners, the coal hearers, the carpenters and brick layers, the mill hands and rail road men of this country have it, then you pay a higher compliment to the generosity of the capitalists of this nation than our workinguien have been willing to allow, because they burn been forming trades unions, and Knights of Labor organizations, and have been en- ! gngcd frrquently in strikes for the pur- pose of getting what they considered Mr. lllaino has recently said that, "this ‘couutry proposes to give the- working- trian all the wages he wants." 1f this is so. and for twenty-four or five years .now. we have bad a protection policy, rigid audssverc, why is it, that for fifteen years, one has scarcely taken up a morning journal without reading of a strike somewhere? - The sudden and spasmodic conversion of some of the lending labor agitators, to the doctrines of “trusts," and “syn. dicates," is something to be seriously tbouglltof. For, it was during a r.— publicun administration, that promi- nence was gains] by the- “unions," the ”accretion," and the “lutxir organiza- tions," which, under a high protection [(illt‘y, have been thought essential, in order to protect the workiugrtian.

Must of our readers are wags workers. But, they are, the consumers too. Let us suppose, reader, that you hrs a work- lngriuili and earn reasonably good wages. It is when Saturday night comes around that you feel the hardships of an excess- ive tariff on the raw materials of in- dustries with which perhaps you have no connection until you want to buy the manufactured product. Suppose you start out to buy yourself, your wife, and two children, two sets each, of good, durable, fins woolen underwear.

Editor of Tat: SEN'l'lli’Ebt—Some per- son writingnnder the name of “Citizen," sees fit in your issue of yesterday to crit- icise my presentation of the "question of wages"ns illustrated by an English and American but at the East. Norwnlk meeting last Friday evening. If he had been present at that meeting he would have known that I invited an examina- tion'of the bats and the most critical consideration of the items of labor cost. I had with me the detailed estimates of rhree manufacturers at South Norwalk. Tire bats were so examined by men who know a but from an umbrella, which "Citizun" evidently does not, and my estimates were not questioned upon a single point. In view of these facts, the insinuations and inuendoes are un- worthy of him, if he is a gentleman, and if he is not, no extended reply to him is necessary. Permit me to say that I have never had much respect for anonymous communications. If a man tells the truth. he need not bi ashamed of it: if he lnsitiuates and prevaricates, he writes under a false name, It is easy to throw mud into a crowd from behind a fence, but it is u despicable thing to do. Let "Citizen”.comn out squarely and sign his own name, so that we may know whether he is the one whom many sup- pose him to be, the avowed and out- spoken free trader of the borough, who is trying to bring the local Democracy over to his wiry of thinking.
