We believe that the correct theory of tariff legislation manif estly enjoins strict economy in public expenditures, and their limitation to legitímate public uses; for we believe that the tariff is a tax, and we denounce the McKinley bilí as a heavy burden laid upon the shoulders of the people to enrich the few at the expense of the many. We denounce the liepublican party for its broken promises made the agricultural interests of the country in the campaign of 18S8. We detnand relief from the heavy burdens of taxation. And we commend our candidate for congress, James S. Gorman, as a congressman who will well represent the interests of those who demand such relief. We commend the present state administrátion of public for the savings made the administration of public institutions, and for the passage of an absolutely secret ballot law. And we pledge a heavy majority in this congressional district for Cleveland, Morse, and Gorman. While waiting for Congressman Gorman, Lieut.-Gov. John Strong, of Monroe, was called on for a speech.
