Tanner's ability as a speech- maker tliat considerable interest waa manifested in the first address of the campaig-n, which he gave at Carthage Monday. The speech does credit to Mr. Tanner's ability. It eTidences a good common-sense understanding of the subject djscussed. " Mr. Tanner xnust be given credit for more political shrewdness than some of his fellow-re-, publicans Hre showing in the conduct of the campaign. He launches out boldly in condemnation of t he money policy of his opponents,; and does not evince any desire to evade or chauge the isstte. His remarks are calculated to antagon­ ize the silver democrats and to make it easy for the gold democrats to sup­ port the ticket on which he stands. The speech is embellished with sev­ eral apt figures and attempts at wit, as the following will show: "Perhaps, my friends, Gov. Altgeld and Buck Hinrlchsen, will make a war fleet, sail over to London and regulate, by force, the unfavorable rates of exchange which must Inevitably follow American free sil­ ver coinage. Such valiant knights can, perhaps, compel a recognition of the popu­ list arithmetic at the cannon's mouth, .so that every English or German boy will hereafter read in his school book, not that the whole is greater than any of its parts, but that one-half is, under the new gospel, fully equal to the whole." Mr. Tanner contends that if the act oi 1S73 was the cause of the fall in the value.of silver the depreciation should have been sudden, whereas it has been gradual. In declaring that "the mar­ kets of the world are not thought of im­ portance in the matter of silver, though our democratic friends thought them of vast importance as bearing upon the tariff," Mr. Tanner suggests the change lhat has taken place in the attitude of the parties since 1892. Mr. Tanner's remarks on the subject of the tariff cfl-e more after the ordinary style. He gives considerable attention to state issues and Gov. Altgeld's ad­ ministration, declaring that the latter, in its treasury management, "presents a striking parallel to the--record^ of President Cleveland's financial adminis­ tration in Washington." In view of Gov. Altgeld's known hostility to the Cleveland administration, probably he will regard this as the most damaging charge that could be made against him. Mr. Tanner makes much of the act of the democratic legislature in 1893, making such a low, tax levy as to leave the treasury embarrassed. This was a cheap trick, and has always been buked. Since then there has been a re publican legislature, for which the lead ers on that side have cause to apologize [From the Chicago Inter Ocean.] There is nothing vindictive or abusive in the arraignment by Mr. Tanner in his Carthage speech of the Altgeld ad minis tration. It is a calm and fair state ment of facts, without the display of any animosity. It is true that the first approach of facetiousness in this manly speech is at the expense of the governor but that hit was as good natured as if was justifiable. "You have ail heard.' he said, "of the crime of 1S73. It seems to be the only crime that the present populist democracy of Illinois has failed to pardon in the last four years." The later reference to the turnpike promises made by Gov. Altgeld four years ego was much more than a bit of bad­ inage. It was a flashlight exposure of a sample of the bi-oken campaign pledges of 1892. We quote the entire passage, tibe conclusion of his remarks about' the penitentiaries; "Perhaps, if Gov. Altgeld succeeds him self, he will enter upon this great project, not, I believe, heard of since the close of the polls in 1S92, of building turnpikes for all the farmers with convict labor. I sup­ posed from his campaign speeches in 1SP2 that long ere this there would have been a pavement of brick or block granite on every section line in Illinois over which the farmers could draw the product of the farm to market. But the mud in the coun­ try roads is still nearly as deep in a rainy time as the political quagmire into which democratic blundering has thrown the state and national government." The opening statement of Mr. Tanner In his discussion of state matters was the fact that the democratic party found in the state treasury a cash bal­ ance of $3,000,000. That was January 10, 1S93. The legislature at that time beginning its biennial session was dem­ ocratic in both branches. What was the result? "Gov. Altgeld himself," to quote Mr. Tanner's exact language, "was compelled to recall the legisla/- ture of 1895 in special session to make good the deficit created by bad democrat? ic financiering in 1893." Those who wish to understand the machinery of levy and'expenditure will find a clear expla­ nation in this part of the speech, but for most voters these two great facta are explanation enough. If "Gov. Alt geld can explain them away let him do it. The contrast between democratic and republican state financiering is forcibly brought out, also the parallel between Cleveland and Altgeld, as public finan­ ciers. There is nothing fanciful or straining in the comparison. Cleveland turned debt reduction to debt increase, and a heavy state debt which the de­ mocracy of Illinois had contracted the republicans paid off, and, going out, they left $3,000,000 in the treasury, which in less than three years was all gone, and'-the administration was at its wits' ends for funds. It is true the democratic state treasurer defaulted, but that did not cost the state a dollar, or contribute in the slightest degree to the embarrassment, for the bondsmen at once made the full amount good. It was a clear ease of democratic failure in the management of state finances.- ! [From the Chicago Evening Journal.] Capt. Tanner developed unexpected, qualities as a satirist and maker o grams in his Carthage speech. He: Bome specimens of his work: "In these days nothing needs explaining Quite as much as a democratic explanation, and. it requires all the penetration of Eoent- : gen's new system of photography to , find out what is really going oil in the dark recesses of the democratic mind." j * * * w,t'They wanted to make money; j out of nothing, which is the same ma- ; teriafout of which the silver people are making their arguments in the present campaign." * * * "When popu- listic cyclones are abroad in the busi­ ness atmosphere capital goes to-the cel­ lar and waits for a calm." . ' f It is: noteworthy also that the .captain makes a special plea to the plain peo« . ' • •" 11 [From the Aurora Daily News.] i People who profess to believe that John R. Tanner cannot make a speech should read his effort made at Cartilage', yesterday. It fills four columns of the Chicago papers, comprises over 6,000 words, and is as plain and forcible a presentation of the issues presented in this campaign as has yet_ •been made in the state. The central committee should see that a copy of the speech is put into the hands of every voter who can read English. THE WAGE QUESTION. Illinois th« Workingmon Interested Issues of tho Campaign. One of the best signs of the campaign is the interest manifested by Illinois workingmen in the issues of the year. In every industrial portion of the state they are talking protection and honest money, and the local newspapers in these respective localities are present? ing daily data for their guidance. The Tribune at La Salle tells the intelligent worlcingman that if he will study up the Wage question in connection with the howl for 53-cent dollars he will learn that in every country in which silver is the standard of coinage, as it must be here under free coinage, the face value of the coin is just double its purchasing value; and, what is more to the point, the rate of wages is from one-half to one-fourth that of the gold standard countries. A table of comparative wages shows that, while in the gold standard countries unskilled labor brings from 50 cents to $1.50 a day, and skilled labor from 75 cents to $5, in the silver standard countries unskilled la« bor ranges from 10 cents a day in Chin^ to 60 cents in Mexico and 80 cents in Central America; and skilled labor is exceptionally requited at $2.50 a day in*. Peru, the prevailing mnximni^i being $1.50. The American workingman who will deliberately vote to cut his insure ance, his savings deposits and his build­ ing loan investments down one-half and his wages two-thirds is a person whom dime museum managers would be glad to exhibit as a freak. The Aledo Republican makes local application of a comparison of the re­ publican and popocratic declarations on foreign immigration. The republic­ an party pronounces emphatically in favor of enforcing the present laws and of making them still more stringent. The popocratic party, on the other hand, makes no promises; they say the impor­ tation of foreign pauper labor is a bad thing, but offer no help to the Amer« iean laboring man from the present conditions. The plank is practically a contradiction in itself. It first starts out with the assertion that "the most efficient way of protecting American labor is to prevent the importation of foreign pauper labor," and then for fear this same laboring man will forget the great, one idea of the convention, free silver, tells him that the great reduc­ tion in the value of our labor and prod­ uce is due to a "vicious monetary sys­ tem." The laborer can easily see through the false veil of "a vicious mon­ etary system." THE "SILVERSNAKE." Chairman Hitch Kefuteg a Campaign Story--The National Committee's In-- dorsement^ Chairman Charles P. Hitch, of the1 republican state central committee of Illinois, referring to newspaper reports respecting the "Silversuake," a pamph­ let on the silver question, authorizes thfli following statement: "The statement that the "Silversnake,, is to be withdrawn from circulation or that errors have been found In it by thai national committee is a campaign lie,' Thero is no truth whatever in the asser- tion. The only places from which the> Silversnakes" are being "called in" are the printing offices, and thence we are getting them in by the tens of thousands to send to the people. The demand is sa great for these pamphlets that we are rushed night and day trying to fill ordersj and in addition the national committee) is placing orders with us for them in Eng-i lish, Scandinavian and German; beside^ this, 17 other states are getting the boofc for circulation from Illinois: The diffi^ culty is that the 'Siiversnake' is not liked; by the 'free silverites,' and it is no wonder] they should circulate false reports toj weaken the effect of the book or to dl-^ minish its circulation." Perry S. Heath, chief of the bureau of printing and publication of the national} committee, referring to the same sub^ ject, says: j No member of the national commttte« has ever made any of the statements at-i tributed to this committee about the 'S3-« versnake,' nor has any person with au* thority to speak for the committee madaj any such statements. Jveitiier this eom-4 mittee nor any person entitled to speakfon it has ever stated that the 'Silversnakei contained errors or that it ought to boj called in. Any statement to that effeetj attributed to either this committee or toj any other person entitled to speak for lt^ are wholly unauthorized and pure fabrica­ tion." Too Small an Item. In his speech two hours long Mr^ Bryan promised that free coinage bJJ i this country would turn the world'sj stock of silver from $4,000,00^)00 into $8,000,000,000, yet he nevetf once referred! to the fact .that the revenue of the! United States is less than its expenses* The monthly deficit of several millions is too small an item to appeal to tha Bryan imagination.--Globe-Democr«tt| Wants the Best. 1 \ Senator Bu,tler, chairman of tho pop-i ulist national committee, has opened! his headquarters at the Shoreham, inj Washington.
