Mr.. Hampton's main arguments agans! the tirln
bill Of 1896 were quotations and deducusns from
speeches and letters of certain democratic members
Of Congress from Pennsylvania. Mr.. MeCandless
met them all and nobly sustained the principles OF
the new tariff law-lts business and equaity OF u'A
ation-whilst he exposed 70 the satisfaction OF lhose
who heard him, the injustice and inequality OF
the tax law of 1912 particularly 10 the producing
cIasres-farmers and laborers. He demonstrated
clearly the fallacy Of the whig "home market, ana
proved that, Notwithstanding the boasted "home
market the farmer never realized more for his prod
uoe than il was worth in New York or Philsde-
phia, less freight, and charges OF commission, @c'i
and that upon the farmers and laborers, who com
pose the great of the consumers OF foreign nm
ports, rested the burden Of supporting the govern
ment.


Has the course pursued by Mr.. McCandless in
the canvass been sustained by the democracy OF this
district Let the tables speak the result.


Mr.. MeCsndless is perhaps the only democnue
candidate for Congress in this State who has re-
duced the whig majority for Clay In 1874.
Ii the democratic members of Congress from
| Penns ylyana had paid less attention 70 the whg
''touch me not" cry Of the tariff Of 1912, and had
given their support TO the new bill with such modi-
hcaticns as they could have obtained and then gone

tale would have been told on the second Tuesday OF
| October.


McCandless supported the new law, and wha
was the consequence He reduced, even in the fur
| mace doors of the manufacturers, Clay's majority
l6i, and amongst the farmers, outside Of the city


limits, he reduced Clay's majority 1852 more-thui
making total reduction Of Ciay's majority slnc'
| 1874 amounting to $685. even in the hot-bed Of wing
i ery and prneey manufacturers, who were able AMI
willing 70 spend thousands Of dollars TO secure hi
II defeat


They have succeeded in defeating MeCandless
and in doing so the manufacturers have sacrificed al
that is good and noble for the sake OF party
triumph. But, fortunately for the cause Of equa
rights the power and influence Of the manufacturer


10 direct and control the legislation OF the country
for their own asgrandizement has received check


and an awakening sense, on the part Of the people


to their burdens will long arouse them TO action
