Mason Hakes Beply to Candidate MacVeagh, Opening Talk of the Campaign In Chicago. B«i. William, E. M»son ably dis­ cussed the tariff and answered Mr. MacVeagh's questions before an im­ mense audience at Central Music hall, in the city of Chicago, a few evenings since. Following is the substance of his address: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle­ men: One week ago to-night a dis­ tinguished gentleman of Chicago, who is the democratic nominee for United States senator, opened his party cam­ paign in this hall, and at the request of a few of the republicans of Chicago We are here to-night to make respectful answer to that speech. We are notified by the democratic press that the language of that speech is pure English. This is probably true. It is also true that the politics therein expressed is also purely English. [Laughter.] In his demand for free trade [laughter], which I 6hall show hereafter is the only question upon which he takes a square stand, he is supported by all leading English states­ men, and the bill known as the liriee- Gorman bill, which he praises in one part of his speech and condemns in an­ other [laughter], is praised and upheld in England for the same reason that he praises and upholds it, and is con­ demned in England in those parts con­ demned by Mr. MacVeagh, and for the same reason, namely, that it leaves a small measure of protection to the in­ dustries of our own country. The words "tory" and "liberal" occur in his speech quite as often as the words "republican" and "democrat," and a brief reading of his speech might con­ fuse an ordinary person to know wheth­ er he was a candidate for the house of lords in England or the congress of the United States, or whether the speech was delivered on State street in Chi­ cago, or in Piccadilly, or White Chapel, in London. [Applause and laughter.] Mr. MacVeagh complains of the re­ publican party because no candidate for senator was nominated, and an­ nounces his party as the only party that gives the people a chance in the selection of its candidates. [Laughter.] He must have smiled somewhat to him­ self in the quiet of his study when he wrote himself down as the people's choice, when the merest tryo in politics in Illinois knows that he was not the people's choice, but Hopkins' choice. [Derisive cheers.] Again, if his party is so desirous of putting the senator- ship close to the people, let us call his attention to the fact that in the demo­ cratic senate there has been lying for more than thirty days a resolution passed by the house of representatives by more than a two-thirds vote which proposes to submit an amendment whereby the people would vote direct­ ly for the United States senators. That resolution sleeps, and will con­ tinue to sleep while the senate of the United States IB democratic. Defends the Silent Commander. His scholarlv and sarcastic essay on the past of the republican party we would entirely ignore as a mere display of rhetoric if ne nad not seen fit (in or­ der, no doubt, to show the purity of his democracy) to cast odium upon the names of men like Roscoe Conkling, Ulysses S. Grant and John A. Logan, who were not merely the heroes of the republican party, but of the day and of the generation in which they lived. [Applause.] I quote: "It was easy for t the bosses, the Camerons, the Conklings - and the Logans, to rise up and take control of the party themselves." Speaking of the bosses, later on he says: "The third step was from the stage of bosses, who, bad as they were," etc. He knows very well that, at the time indicated when Conkling, Camer­ on and Logan tried to nominate their "Silent Commander," they werq not successful, but were defeated by Gar­ field, but fell in line like loyal men in favor of the principles they professed. [Applause.] A boss in politics seeks to drive men. John A. Logan arose from a plain people to a seat in the United States senate. [Applause.] John A. Logan from a private volunteer soldier rose to the command of an army. [Applause.] John A. Lo­ gan in war and in politics always said to his friends "come," and never said "go." [Applause.] John A. Logan was a leader of men, and not a boss. [Applause.] Mr. MacVeagh's use of Gen. Grant's name in connection with "the whisky frauds, the star route scandals, the Credit Mobilier rottenness and the back-pay grab" is as unfair as it is uncalled for. [Applause.] Those were things charged against Gen. Grant in the heat of politics by the people and press, who are to-day supporting Mr. MacVeagh for senator. [Continued applause.] We saw that silent commander from Donelson to Appomattox, the honored president of a great nation; the honored guest of the kings of the world. [Great ap­ plause.] We saw him betrayed by his preteuaed friends, and in sickness and in age laboring that those who de­ pended upon him might live. And since the day the American people of all creeds and parties lifted him as tenderly as a child to Mount McGregor, none but cowards have tried to assail his name. If the gentleman who is a candidate has one true friend in the democratic party he will probably be advised to husband his resources. MacVeagh's Speech a Mere Statement. His whole statement in regard to the financial panics is mere statement, and his allegation that the protection which keeps the money in our own country has produced panics is entirely without foundation in fact. True, we had great financial panics following the great fires in Chicago and Boston,when insur­ ance companies failed and demanded prompt payment of all mortgages held by them. It is true that we have had slight financial panics during the years mentioned by him, caused by feckless speculation, out there has never been an industrial panic--when the factories were closed and the workingmen beg­ ging for bread--since the democratic free trade days of 1857. [A voice, "That's so." Applause.] Coxev's army was not recruited by reason of a finan­ cial but an industrial panic, and Cox- ey's army never would have marched across the continent if Benjamin Har­ rison had been elected president [ap­ plause], nor would the mobs have burned our towns and murdered our people if Joe Fifer had been elected governor erf Illinois [applause], nor would the executive department of Chicago have shown its sympathy for 'lawlaanMi if George f£ wit bad taken the seat to which he was elected, f Applause.] But the crowning act of intellectual legerdemain and word jug- f ling is where, in his essay, he at-empts to make it appear that the re­ publican party is responsible for the present condition of affairs. [Laugh­ ter.] During the Harrison administra­ tion, and for more than two years after the McKinley bill became a law, every hand that wished to labor found work to do. [Applause.] To-day the scene is changed, and 50 per cent, of the men who labor with their hands are either out of employment, or are working ft>r less pay than before. The recklessness of his assertion in this connection can­ not be better illustrated than by his statement that "they (the re­ publicans) showed an anxiety to get out of office before the storm burst." Of men iiv ofS«e H hai been said: "Few die ancr none^ This seems to apply to all parfiVtfi [Laughter.] The republican party tried to maintain its hold and Vive prosperity to the nation, but men |iki| Mr. MacVeagh told the working poouj? that they would have better wa^es f(>r what they produced and buy whai.tltf>y consumed cheaper from some other country. That was the change they were promised. That was the change they did not get, and to-day they are saying: ^ "What matter is it how cheap a coat is if we are out of work and have not the price." [Laughter.] Mr. MacVeagh and his party say: "Buy your clothes in England." That is, so that at the end of the year they will have our money and we will have the rags. The republican party says: "Buy your clothes at home. Keep the money in your own country, and before your old clothes are gone that money will float by your dotfr and you wiU get a chance at it." We come now to th© only question upon which Mr. MacVeagh takes a square stand. He says: "I am a tariff reformer," and approves the Wilson bill as far as it goes, which means that he is in favor of protecting the products of the south, such as rice, 6ugar and peanuts, and uncovering the products of the north, like wool, lumber, salt and vegetables, to competition with the producers of the world. [Applause.] He demands free raw materials. Time will not permit a completo list of raw materials from the standpoint of the tariff reformer. Here is a fartial list of raw material from he Brice-Gorman bill: Posts, rail­ road ties, telegraph poles, cab­ inet woods, clapboards, hubs, laths, shingles and 6taves. [Laughter.] Raw material is material just as nature left it and before any human being has contributed to its value by labor. It is not republicanism to protect a thing, but to protect labor that goes to make the thing. [Applause.] When a farmer produces a crop, feeds it to his sheep, cares for them and takes off the fleece and carries it to the market, it is to him a finished product, and is no more raw material than the watch is to the watchmaker. It is republican doctrine that no American citizen shall strike a blow or shove a jackplane in competi­ tion with the natives of any other country in the world. [Great ap- filause. | The tariff reformer and free rader tell us that with our ingenuity and resources we can compete with any nation in the world. So we can. We will meet them in war or in peace, science, art or manufacture, but there is one field where we decline to meet them: We will not permit the labor­ ing man of this country to meet on a level in competition with the starving, underpaid labor of the kingB or ozars of any nation in tho world. Mr. MacVeagh and Free Trade. He says: "I believe in tariff reform which tends to free trade." This is the plank upon which he squarely stands. This means that every manufacturer of articles in this countrv which can be shipped must reduce the wages to an equality with men in the same line of manufacture in all the countries in the world, and that there is to be no pro­ tected industry in this country, ex- * cept as it is protected by the cost of transportation, which is practically nothing when you consider that you can bring a ton of freight from Liver­ pool to New York as cheaply as you can haul it from one end of the city of Chicago to the other. Every steel rail, every spool of thread, every bundle of dry goods, notions and hardware that is imported into this country brings with it its schedule of wages, and when we reduce our schedule of wages to the level of that of other countries, or even threaten to do it, it is the nat­ ural producer of strikes, lockouts and riot, financial and industrial despair. [Applause.] But the free trader tells us thwt protection is & rsstriction to trade. Well, suppose it is. So Is law a restriction to anarchy and crime [ap­ plause], and so there is a lot of dudes and mugwumps who cannot find any­ thing good enough for them in this country, who either earn their money here of get it by inheritance, and they need a little restriction to keep them from spending American money for the labor of aliens and strangers. [Laugh­ ter and applause.] A certain amount of restriction is a g-ood thing. A pro­ tection boy was flying a kite, and after it was nicely located in the sky, with the string all out, the free trade boys came along and said: "That string is a restriction; cut the Btring and see her go up higher." And the protection boy, knowing that the restriction was the thing that kept it in its place, de­ clined, and the free trade boys were named Wilson and Gorman and Brice and Grover, and they cut the string, and for two years the kite has been hang­ ing tail up and head down on a tele­ graph wire [laughter], and the Spring­ ers and the Wilsons have promised, with the aid of popguns, to put it in the mud for the next two years. Three Great Principles of Protection. Protection is not alone the levying of a tariff, but consists of three great principles. It is protection to Ameri­ can labor that compels the foreigner to pav for the privilege of selling any­ thing here that can and ought to be manufactured here. [Applause.] The second great principle of protection is that there should be no tariff on the things like coffee, tea and spices, which cannot be produced in this country, because its importation into this coun­ try does not rob any American citizen of the right to use his labor in the pro­ duction of these things. [Applause.] The third great principle of protection is that any nation which is sending to this country any of its products, free of duty, shall have a tariff laid upon them even though they be upon the free list if that country discriminates against any of the products of our country. [Applause.] This is called reciprocity. It is part of the Mc- Kinfey Dill. It has increased the sale of our products in at least a dozen countries of the world, and it is a contribution of the genius of the matchless Blaine. [Applause.] These, in brief, form the great principles of protection. When pracuoed it has brought prosperity. [Applause.] When abandoned it has brought distress, and when we shall have all passed away and been forgotten the intelligent American lawmaker will still insist that the nations of the world may bring their laboring classes up to our level but we shall never consent that ours shall descend to theirs. [Applause.] Speaking of sugar, the learned gen­ tleman says: "We did not reduce the protection of the sugar trust as far as we intended." No schedule could show better tho real difference between tariff for protection and tariff for revenue, than the sugar schedule. Here is a brief statement showing the tariff on sugar under the McKinley law, and also under the Brice bill, with the per­ centage of increase, which shows that tinder the McK.inley bill molasses, which came in free, has a tariff of 15 54-100 per cent, under the present democratic law. Also that li sugars, not above No. 16 Dutch ,stundard in color, tank bottoms, sugar drainings, sugar sweepings, etc., came in free under the McKinley bill, while under the Brice bill there is a tariff of forty per cent, ad valorem. Under the McKinley biU it was free because the importation of sugar did not compete with the labor of this country, and the tariff of forty per cent, is put on under the Brice bill, first, to produce revenue, and second, to give to the sugar trust a profit of 844,800,000. This, according to Mr. Wilson, the democratic chairman of the ways and means committee. Two Simple Questions for th* Candidate. The speech of the gentleman does not refer to "trusts" as often as one would expect from a democratic candidate for senator, and fearing that we may have been misinformed as to his prac­ tical position on trusts, when he is practicing his politics and not his scholarship, we desire to ask him one or two questions: Is it not true that j our business house, with your knowl­ edge, consent and approval, declines to sell certain brands of cigars unless the dealer to whom you sell them agrees to sell them at a price not less than that fixed by your house? [Laughter and applause.] Is it true that the price of sugar in your house is fixed each day by telegraph by the sugar trust, and that you are under agree­ ment not to sell to any merchant un­ less he agrees to retail it at a price equal to or greater than the price fixed by you? [Great applause.] These questions I ask respectfully and in good faith, based upon information re­ ceived from reputable merchants whose names can be had if desired. The principal complaint made by Mr. MacVeagh against the republican party Is made on account of protection, and he charges that we have gradually drifted away from the great princi­ ples of the party in the past. Resolu­ tion No. 12 of the republican platform of I860, upon which Lincoln was nom­ inated, declares in favor of such an ad­ justment of tho tariff "as to encourage the development of the Industrial in­ terests of the whole country," and clear down to the time of the nomina­ tion of "Harrison and Reid [applause] the republican party has stood in favor of that proposition, and tho statement of the gentleman of our drifting away from the principles of that time is wholly without foundation in faot. . Wanted I More Feet for the Colossus. A large share of the gentleman's essay is devoted to the subject of sil­ ver, and in the discussion of this ques­ tion he reminds one much of the Colos­ sus of Rhodes, not so much on account of his greatness as his ability to straddle. [Laughter.] With one foot firmly planted on sound currency (to which ne points when talking to the practical business man), the other foot rests in a oloud with a silver lining [laughter] (to which he points when talking to the populists and free-silver democrats), he cries in a loud voice: "I am a bimetal- list of the bimetal lists." [Laughter.] Is it not too bad that the gentleman has not more feet, that he might rest one of them in the greenback party rrt fis money? [Laughter.] Let us be fair. The populists and the free-silver dem­ ocrats demand a free and unlimited Coinage of the silver of the world at a tatlo of 10 parts to 1. A democratio Senate favored it, a democratic presi­ dent opposed it. The republican party, by its platform and legislation, op- poses it, and now will the gentleman please come out of the clouds and t^Jl Us where he stands on the subject? Of a truth, fellow citizens, we are not Buffering from a lack of money, but from a lack of circulation of money caused by idleness of men and money. I A I I -- tnpuiauoc.j xuc QaliKa uavc muuey tv end, but no customers. The man who has been wise enough to make mone^y In this country is too wise to set it afloat upon the sea of investment while the democratic party is in control of the government. You may pile silver dol­ lars as high as Washington monument and cover the streets of Washington, but it will not help the American citizen who is out of work. [Applause.] It Is not the party that stamps or prints money to pile it up in the treasury, but it is the party whose wise, economic laws give employment to the people that does most for its day and generation, and when the Earty gets Into power that will put its ana upon the pulse of the American people and not wait for cablegrams from the Old World to determine upon its own laws capital will come out of its hiding and give employment to the people and prosperous times to alL Labor and State's Rights. The principal part of the gentleman's speech upon the question of labor la devoted to defending himself for not approving tho president's action in sending troops to Chicago to defend our homes and our property from the ravages of the mob. [Applause.] He says: "I declined to sign the telegram promptly, unhesitatingly," and he gives as nis reason that it involved "a question of great constitutional im­ portance." If the nomination at Springfield had not removed the last drop of republican blood from his protect our lives and property, on that point at least he was a republican and violated the law of state rights, as defined by Gov. Altgeld, and violated the law of home rule, as defined by Mr. MacVeagh. Mr. MacVeagh says that no one knows better than he with what regret the president felt obliged to "use the army in an industrial controversy in a great city." I deny that it was an in­ dustrial controversy. The hour of in­ dustrial controversy had passed. It 3s an insult to organfced labor to call it an "industrial" controversy. [Ap­ plause.] It was a controversy between law and order on on® side, and violence, arson »ml murder on the other. [Applause.} The whole tenor of the gentleman's speech on organized labor and orgaa- ized capital tends to increase, rather than diminish, industrial controversy. The labor of to-day is the capital of to­ morrow. [Applause.J The capitalist of to-day Is the laboring man of yester­ day. Labor furnishes capital with in­ vestment and capital furnishes labor with employment [applause], they are brothers [applause], differing only in age, and the man who seeks to separate the two by public harangue or scholar­ ly essay ought to be put in training for the hig-h and dignified office of American citizenship. | Applause.] The republicans learn in their kindergarten that all wealth comes from labor: that when the laboring man is employed the country is prosperous. [Applause.] They also learn of a class of labor agi­ tators who, under the guise of friend­ ship for labor, lead them on to riots, mobs and disaster, and in the very primary class of the republican school we are taught that as the Grand Amy of the Republic gave notice to the world that there was room for but one flag in our sky, so we shall give notice that In all the soil from the lakes to the gulf, and from ocean to ocean, not one*square inch of it can be devoted to the seeds of anarchy. The essay is remarkable almost as nrach for things it did not say as for things it did say. [Laughter.]* For in­ stance, he did not mention that plank in the democratic platform which In­ dorses the political career of John P. Altgeld. [Groans.] This was evidently an oversight on the part of the gen­ tleman, and the next essay will bristle with facts and figures supporting Mr. Altgeld in his management of the parks, state institutions and the law and order of the state of Illinois. [Derisive laughter and applause.] Another thing which he seems to have forgotten was that clause in the democratic tariff bill which presents to the whisky trust not only 30 cents a gallon for "all spirits taken out of bond, but puts it in a posi­ tion. practically, where it will neve# be required to advance another dollar out of its treasury to the government. Last year we received 8100,000,000 from internal revenue, a large portion of which came from whisky, and the whisky trust went to Washington, and, by the use of sufficient argument (laughter], secured a provision in the bill which allows It eight years ia which the whisky may ripen at the ex­ pense of the government before the trust needs to pay one dollar. And hereafter whisky will be sold to the retailers be­ fore the tax is due, which amounts to a firesent of millions of dollars annually o the poor Infant industry known as the whisky trust. [Laughter]. Poor, struggling whisky trust! Noble, gen­ erous democracy! [Laughter]. Issue bonds and borrow money in order to lend government funds to the owners of the whisky trust stock. [Laughter]. Mr. MacVeagh evidently forgot t.Ma- Will he explain? i Some Things for gotten by WinTi>|i Mr. MacVeagh does not state his po­ sition on the pension question. Does he approve the action of Hoke Smith, his secretary of the interior, who ruled that a union pensioner charged with an offense should be considered guilty unil he proved himself innocent [ap­ plause], or does he agree with the people of the republican party that all men should be considered Innocent un­ til proved cfuilty [applause]- and that a pension from the government of the United States to an honorably dia», charged soldier should be considered a * badge of honor and not a certificate ol pauperism?
