He staled to the farmers that he
voted for the duty on binder twine;
and if, after hearing his reasons for
doing so, they should not be con
vinced that he was right, they were at

sugar except brown sugar of an in
ferior grade was placed upon the free
list, and said that should a trust be
formed in sugar, consumers could use
this brown sugar, which was below
number 16 Dutch standard, exclusively,
and break the trust. This method of
fighting trusts did not appear to com
mend itself to many of his hearers,
who appeared to think that American
consumers were entitled to refined
sugar of the best quality at all times
and under all circumstances. He said
he voted to double the dut? on tin
plate and had no apologies to make
for doing so. He underestimated the
intelligence of his audience by as
serting that Carnegie’s great wealth
bubbled up from the earth in oil wells
and was not wrung from the hard hand
of labor. He devoted considerable time
to waving the bloody shirt and en -
deavoring to arouse sectional bitter
ness, which he appeared to think was
the right and proper thing to do. After
exhausting the subject and many of his
hearers his discourse came to an ab
rupt termination shortly before 11
o’clock.
P. K. Demuth, the democratic can
didate for coroner, is a worthy dem

the people.
There is not a section or a line in
the entire (McKinley) bill that will
open a market for another bushel of
wheat or another barrel of pork.—
