TEXARKANA ARK
WAYNE MacVEAGH SPEAKS.
One of the largest political meetings
of the campaign was held at the Acad-
emy of Music Saturday night under
the auspices of the Young Men's Demo-
cratic association of Philadelphia winch
invited Wayne MacVeagh formerly
attorney general under President
Garfield's administration to address
the Republicans in reply to Senator
Sherman's recent speech and explain-
ing his reasons for abandoning the
Republican party expressed in a re-
cent letter announcing he would vote
for Grover Cleveland. The great hall
was tilled and many turned away. The
audience was decidedly Democratic in
its sympathies and received the speak-
er with great enthusiasm.
Byway of beginning MacVeagh re-
ferred to the fact that he attained his
majority the day the Republican party
was born; that ho never voted for a
Democrat and four years ago he voted
for Harrison. Until now he had not
felt at liberty to vote for any but Re-
publican candidates. In 1876 he be-
lieved Tilden entitled to the electoral
vote of Louisiana. President Grant
Secretary Chandler Gen. Sherman in
command of the troops in the State
and Secretary Robeson with the gun-
boats in its walers were all deeply in-
terested in that election. United
States Marshal Packard was seeking
the governorship with hosts of depu-
ties at his command and yet when the
polls closed Tilden had 1000 more
votes than Hayes. The speaker ob-
jected to this sort of thing.
He watched with pain the steady
growth of the corrupt use of money
in polities. He hoped the Republican
party would turn itself against the
congressional bounties and diminish
that traffic in votes. His hopes had
been disappointed and lie was con-
vinced unless the Republican party
was checked it would make the poor
poorer end the rich richer more cor-
rupt and selfish and less patriotic. Ile
demanded that the rich shall not de-
stroy the source of national life. There
was too much truth in the rumors
that the election of 1888 had been
bought. Prominent Republican man-
ufacturers had said “The McKinley
bill is ours we bought it.” There
was no way‘of accounting for the
action of the Republican party for the
last four years than by the bargain
and sale of legislation.
He did not see how any man in his
senses thought it wise to inflict upon
the poor the burdens of McKinley or
debauch the voters by offering them
pensions or to impoverish taxpayers
to buy quantities of silver for which
there was no use or insult a small
weak sister republic like Chili by
sanding such a diplomat as Patrick
Eagan or threaten her with war with-
out waiting to translate her apology
for the wrong done.
Referring to Senator Sherman’s
speech on the McKinley bill he said
no one knew better than the senator
that the cordage trust was an illegal
monopoly plundering the people in
utter contempt of the law. He took
Senator Sherman to task for the stand
he took on the silver question which
was opposite to the view he expressed
in 1871.
On the tariff question Mr. MacVeagh
said that less than 12 per cent of the
laborers of Pennsylvania could secure
employment in the protected indus-
tries while the other 88 per cent had
to pay a bounty on almost everything
they ate and wore. The rich paid
substantially nothing but on the con-
trary realized immense privileges out
of the prevailing system of taxation.
The prices of the necessities of life
were frightfully increased to those
who could purchase only In small
quantities. Owing to the cordage
trust and similar evils the hardwork-
ing farmer each year found himself
growing poorer until now in Ohio
and Pennsylvania land was worth less
than half of what it was twenty years
ago.
Depreciation in the value in farms
in this country since 1870 was greater
in the speaker's judgement than the
cost of any manufactory in it. The
farmer had to sei) his wheat for a
price fixed in a pool and less titan it
cost hint. The farmer was forced to
pay a big bounty to the cordage trust
for twine owing to the McKinley
bill. The farmer found Ids poverty
increased by the tax he had to pay on
almost everything lie had to buy.
The laboring men were obliged to pay
artificial prices for sugar on account
of the sugar trust kept alive by the
McKinley bill. Seeing these tilings
it was not strange that ministers of
the gospel cried out that the laborer
was looked upon as a beast of burden
and Carnegie and ids associates were
responsible for every drop of blood
shed at Homestead. These were no
the snj lugs of anarchists but. Chris-
tian teachers and what is true of the
McKinley bill and the great group of
gigantic monopolies which are nour-
ished by it. i< true of the reckless pen-
sion legi.-bltion. ’1 h ■ wickedness of
1 such legislation is more apparent when
it was known that every dollar voted
to pen-ions evolved a distinct diininu
tion of the members of the laborer.
Elegant millionaires spoke glibly of
$160000000 voted for pensions for-
getting that this vast sum came almost
entirely from the earnings of toilers.
The speaker did not object to just
pensions. An eminent divine had
said that every skulkingcampfollower
deserter and fraudulent claimant had
the etlontery to demand his bribe and
his vote became a commodity. What
infinite dishonor such names brought
to pension rolls dedicated to the he-
roes who went to the front!
Speaking of silver he said if was
known that in the present year silver
had been mined in vast quantities at
a cost of 88 cents per ounce and sold
to the government at over 70 cents; so
it was probable the silver dollar was
not worth over 60 cents. Yet we
have hundreds of millions coined and
stored in vaults and a thousand tons
uncoined stored in the same way.
Still the government continued to ac-
cumulate at the hands of the Republi-
can party and the price of silver con-
tinued to drop. This was driving
gold out of the country and it was
only a question of time when we
would be reduced to a silver currency.
All this is due to the election of Har-
rison in 1888. Such results would be
secured at the expense of the moral
degradation of the people.
It had come to be that men of large
wealth persuaded themselves that they
were at liberty to pervert this govern-
ment from its lofty functions of secur-
ing the greatest good for the greatest
number to taxing the majority in
order to hand over those taxes as
bounties to persons who will contri-
bute large sums of money to carry on
the elections. In 1883 $600000 was
Used in Indiana but that was not a
patch to New York. The proportions
of this corruption was appalling. The
speaker said ho would rather place
money in the hands of the burglar to
bribe a watchman to rob his bank than
to contribute money to be placed in
the hands of Quay Martin or Hackett
to be used in politics.

The wisdom contained in the great
poetic injunction of Longfellow's “ls"t
the dead past bury iis dead” is nearly
if not always apparent. But we can
not help uttering at least one sigh
over the premature grave of ourcity’s
great and needful improvement
scheme which was consigned to at
| least temporary oblivion by the cor-
I porntc owners of large property inter-
lest. Had the vote been a majority
one of individual citizens instead of
taxable values Texarkana would have
had one of the best sewerage systems
and have been one of the most thor-
oughly improved cleanest and must
attractive cities in the two States
But alas: two soulless bodies corpora-
tions and minors have defeated the de-
sires of a thousand souls. Oh! well it
is only a question of time when this
great good for our city and people
will be accomplished and doubtless
we shall appreciate if only the mote
for having to awnit so long and pa-
tiently its coming. Poor consolation
perhaps but it is a consolation for all
that because we believe In it as a
true prophecy.

Deafness Caul he i iireil
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is nnly one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the muscous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the
result and unless the Inflammation
cun be taken out and this tube re-
stored to Its normal condition hear-
ing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out often are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by tak-
ing Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars; free.
