H e i s Greeted by a. Earge and InteUlgent Audience—An Able E x p o sition of tbe Issues of tbe Campaign—A Gio-vying Enlogium on Warner Miller. As predicted in the columns of the U nion several days ago, the opportunity which was afforded the citizens of this town at the Kink last night, of listening to L. E, Carr on the political issues o f the day attracted an over flowing house, and this in spite o f the counter attraction so artfully gotten up by the democrats to offset and counteract the republican meet ing at the Rink. Long before the hour for the proceed ings to commence, the Rink was well filled with an audience who had come there, not in spirit of idle curiosity to while away an hour or two, but who were prompted in their attendance by an intense and over mastering interest in the great political issues which are at stake in the canvass, and which are soon to be deter mined at the polls. The character of last night’s audience fully justified the asser tion so often made during the present canvass that the campaign is one of thought and argument. Promptly at 8 o’clock the meeting; was called to order by President Frank Hat* denberg, who introduced the Chairman of the evening, Amos Van Etten, jr. Apropos of the oft-repeatedv statement that the campaign was one of the arguments, ideas, etc., Mr. Van Etten said that you would generally find a party’s ideas as to their number and importance, to be in inverse porportion to the amount o f noise they made, and he made some practical applications o f tUat proposition. BIr. Van Etten’s remarks were excellent, timely and elicited frequent applause. He paid a very high compliment to the ability, eloquence and faithful party service of Lewis E. Carr, when he introduced him to the audience. Mx. Carr, as he arose to speak, was greeted by long, continued and enthusi astic applause, which bore testimony to the sentiments of esteem, honor and ad miration which the citizens of this town regard their eloquent and distinguished townsman, and which must have been in the highest degree gratifying to its re cipient. In opening he referred to the gratifica tion which it afforded him to face an aud ience of his fellow townsmen, and their presence in such large numbers was a compliment which he appreciated. Many eloquent speakers had preceded him, and they had heard the issues of the cam paign ably discussed, and he felt pleased and gratified to know that so large a num ber o f his fellow citizens were present on this occasion, to hear what he had to say with respect to the issues of the cam- ^ j^tection, he said, was the great issue —protection to labor. The aim of this government should be to improve and ex alt the condition of the wage earner. He should be something more than a machine. This was a country in which he was a sovereign. Our government was a gov ernment of, and for the people. On the shoulders of the workingmen rested the governing power, and it was ©f vital importance that their material, social and moral condition should be such as to fit them for an intell igent exercise of the franchise through which they governed. At the outset there * was necessity of a superior class of citi zens to subdue the new country, and su jierior inducements were offered to bring them here from the old world. Forests were subdued and the country developed. Our energies were concentrated on agri culture. But then came the necessity of a wider I industrial development and more diver- f sified employment of labor. The develop- I ment of manufacturing arts was recog nized early in our history as an important k duty of government, a function which it [ could legitimately exercise, i Mr. Carr here gave a lucid and admira- I hie explanation of the necessity of protec- I tive duties to enable the manufactures of I our own country, with its high priced I labor, to compete with the under paid . labor of foreign countries. Of every dol lars worth of manufactured goods, 90 cents [ was labor and 10 cents raw material. Our I labor must have a fair chance in our own [ markets. In 1833 came the first free trade I agitation. Under threat of nullification I and resistance, Soutn Carolina forced on I the country the tariff destroying measure I of that year. Its effects were soon appar I ent in widespread depression and financial I ruin. In 1840 came ihe revulsion and by the I emphatic voice of the people at the polls I the act of 1835 was condemned. Under I the lead of Harrison, the grandfather of *the present candidate, the whigs achieved p n overwhelming triumph and admims- Jtered a decisive rebuke to the free trade ■demooracy, such as the republicans of to- FOBT JB R T IS, ORANGB COUNTY, N . Y., SATURDAY EVENINO, NOVEMBER 3, 1888- day, under the leadership of the grandson of Harrison, onr own gallant standard bearer, would administer to the free trad ers of the present campaign. The issue was the same and the result would be the In the Presidential election of 1844 the democratic party, warned by the disas trous experience of 1840, declared, through its candidate James K- Polk, in favor of incidental protection. The people put confidence in their promises, and Polk was elected. But the promises of the democrats were not kept. The effects of the free trade policy of the democratic party were, however, owing to an unusual combination of cir cumstances, for a time postponed. The Mexican war intervened and created a market for American goods. The Crim ean war followed with similar effect. These and other causes of an unusual and exceptionable character postponed the in evitable crash. But in 1857 it came in the form of a financial revulsion, the greatest and most disastrous the country had yet seen. The min of ’57 was fairly traceable to the elimination o f the protective feat ures of the tariff. Mr. Carr then recounted the industrial prosperity and accumulation of national wealth that followed the Morrill tariff of 1860. In spite of 4 years of bloody war, characterized by a destruction of life and property, without any parallel in history, we had prospered under the beneficent influence of our protective tariff to a de gree unequalled in the history of the world. Can any intelligent, reflecting man doubt for a moment that we owe this prosperity to the protective tariff ? Our steady industrial growth, imder the fostering influence of the protective tariff, was recounted. It was shown how the possession of the home market, under protection, stimulated competition and inventions, and how these influences had operated to reduce the price of all manu- factmed goods. The speaker inquired why it was that the democratic party, which favored free raw materials, had failed to put iron ore on the free list ? It was a “ raw material” which entered into more than half the manufactured goods o f the world. Was it because such democratic magnates as Smith M. Weed and Wm. H. Barnum were heavily inter ested in iron mines? Democrats say that the present tariff is inequitable, because it taxes necessaries. What is a greater necessity than sugar ? But they do not propose to relieve the people by the remission of the duty of $38,000,000 per annum on that article. It had been charged that the protective tariff fostered menopolies. Did it create the Standard Oil Monopoly, at the head of which was Henry B. Payne, one of most prominent democrats in the country. Here is the Sugar Trust, at the head of which stands Havemeyer, another influen tial democrat. But there is no proposi tion to take the duty off that article. And there was the Cotton Seed Oil Trust. What had the protective tariff to do with that ? The speaker averred that trusts prevailed in free trade England to a greater extent than here. The philosophy of trasts lay in a nutshell. When production is so small that capital can corner and control it trusts will flour ish. Stimulate and increase production by judicious protection and you will make successful monoply an impossibility. Mr. Carr reviewed the whole field of controversy on the tariff question and his speech was a splendid vindication of the protective system of the republican party. He met and answered all objections against the system in such a convincing and thorough way as to leave his political opponents not a leg to stand upon. Having done this Mr, Carr turned his attention to the administration o f President Cleveland showing that the record was not a good one. The promises of reform in the civil service had been violated. Our foreign relations mismanaged and the spoils sys tem rampant. Referring to the state can- vaSB, Mr. Carr said Warner Miller stands for high license and that means the aboli tion of the dive, groggery and saloon. Said a gentleman to the speaker the other day “ Ihaven’t a doubt o f Hill’s election. He will have the votes and influence of 33,000 saloon keepers in the state and that will elect him.” We boast of our civili zation, our culture and our enlightment. Shall we permit the saloon keepers o f this state to dictate and control our elcctioi s? The speaker then showed the eflSicacy of high license as a restrictive measure and paid a glowing tribute to the fearlessness the independence of Warner Miller in his magnificent canvass o f this state.

Wliero Dovers of Flowers Can Gr-at- ify Their Tastes.-Aetively in Society Circles—Some Timely Criticisms on Prayer M eetings. What more charming time of the year than this for long rambles, or drives if one is fortunate enough to possess’ a turnout. So exhilarating I Just enough breeze to keep the leaves flying around, with those left on the trees, with the sunlight play ing upon them, looking as though var nished. A very attractive feature too on some of these walks is the glowing show of ehrysanthemunes. How pretty any or all our yards would look if this beautiful fall flower were more generally cultivated. There are so many varieties both in color and form. Speaking of flowers reminds us of a recent visit to the green-house of Mr. J. Brierly, situated on High street near Car penters Point. We are fortunate in having a place in town where such choice as well as more common varieties of flowers can be had at short notice. Mr. Brierly’s prices are reasonable. It would well re pay our ladies to make a pilgrimage to this much needed attraction, and at the same time get what is perhaps the most beautiful views of our Delaware. How pleasing it is as we journey around town to at last see that our streets are in dicated by neat sign boards—a long needed want. And now for the houses to be completed by their number—and then the Free Postal Delivery.” We notice the rapid progress by the Gas Light Co. in laying their three and four inch pipes down Main street.

This larger main will give the consumer a better flow Is it not a late day to begin a cannon ading campaign ? The firing of the pro hibition cannon Thursday at midnight must have been very annoying to anyone of weak nerves to say nothing o f the sick. Many houses shook as though we were having an earthquake. Might not our trustees forbid any more midnight demon strations of this sort ? By the bye, we have heard that the reg istry in this village far exceeds any pre vious one, and that there are without doubt a great many fraudulent names there on. These lists and persons should be closely scrutinized on the day of election, and detected if possible. It seems our usually dull town (from a society view) is all agog with party giv ing, which makes the storekeeper smile, for ladies like a new gown for every party, if possible. In the past month my wife has attended a number of parties, divided up in teas, dinners and luncheons, of which her liege lord (that means me) was excluded four times. Can aay one tell me why we, the better half of creation, should be so often left at home to get our meals as best we can? We overheard the other day an opin ion, pretty freely given too, on the con duct of our up-town prayer meetings. This person being a stranger in town had naturally attended them all, in order to hear our talented divines. The ,,gist of his talk was, the honorary Christian members who are generally among the most gifted in the congregation, sitting with closed mouths, when their pastor gives the invitation for a few words of prayer or some r. marks. “ Surely (said he) no church can be a lively one, with too many criticising honorary members.’’ GOOD WEATHER FOR THE PARADE N ew Y oek , N ov . 3, 11.30 a. m.—The weather here is more favorable, and a sharp wind is blowing. 13 m.—Weather clear and prospects bright for parade. “Bi didn’t They certainly knew little,: know that the safest, quickest and most pleasant cure for croup, bronchitis, cough, cold in the chest, etc., is Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup.

James Hogan, a young man well known in this village, died about 7 o’clock last evening at the home of his parents in Pond Eddy of consumption, aged about 33 years. He has been sick with the above disease for a long time and the news of his death was not a surprise to his many friends in this village. He was a native of Ponfi Eddy, and re sided there for many years, where he was employed as track foreman of the Brie. He afterwards came to this village where he secured a position as fireman on the Delaware division and had gained the re putation of being one of the best first-class firemen on the division. He was also employed as hostler in the Erie yard here, which position he was compelled to give up so me time ago on account of his de clining health. He is survived by his parents, three brothers and three sisters. He was a member of Deerpark Council, No. 65, Catholic Benevolent Legion of this village, in which organization he was insured for $3'000, and was also a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire men in which he was insured for $1,500 The funeral will be held on Monday morning at 10 o ’clock from his late resi dence in Pond Eddy; interment at Lack- awaxen. The members of the 0. B. L. and B. of L- F. of this village will attend the funeral in a body. PERSONAE. Miss Bertha Trueic is visiting at Butler and Paterson, N. J. Mr. and Mrs. Pefter E.

Bacon’s Record in Pension Degislation. He Voted to Unseat the Gallant Cap tain W liite—Veterans, Vote for Yonr Friends—Bacon is an Enemy. Hon. Henry Bacon is floodiuR the counties of Orange, Sullivan and Rock land, witn circular-letters appealing to soldiers for support by their “ votes and help o f their friends. ” He claims to have done much to aid them, and promises to do much more when “ re-elected.” In his let'ers to soldiers he is silent as to his record. In letters to other parties, he says: “ I venture to call attention to my record in Congress.” Now as to his record, soldiers are in terested as well as other citizens, and they have noted his record as he made it. They also call attention to his “ Gon- greesional Record.” It shows that he voted to sustain the President’s veto of lependent Pension Bill,” and thereby left 12,000 deserving soldiers suf fering in alms houses, and thousands more being supported by private charity. He voted March 31, 1888, with the “ Rebel Brigadiers ” against a pension for Mrs. Gen. Logan and for Mrs, Gen. Blair. He voted Feb. 7, 1888, to unseat Cap tain James A. White of Fort Wayne, In diana, who had been elected to Congress by an undisputed majority of 2,500 votes. Captain White came to this county in 1854 at the age of 19 years. In 1862 he enlisted in the Union Army—was a gal lant soldier—was wounded at the battle of “ S h ilo!” He voted and held im portant offices in Indiana, and when elected to Congress his seat was con tested on the ground of “ non-citizen ship.” Tet Bacon, the self-styled “ friend of veterans” voted to rob this worthy soldier of his blood-sarned seat in Con gress. But his efforts failed and soldier White holds Ms seat, the pride of his constituents, and an honor to our Ameri can Congress.” Thus we might continue, but these points of Bacon’s record suffice to prove the kind of friendship which he has for soldiers. Again, young men of the XVth Con gressional district, his record shows him to be “ Chairman of the Committee on Manufactures,” with power to appoint his committee clerk, with pay of $6 per day—Sundays not excepted. Whom did he appoint as such clerk! He appointed Henry T. Lyle, a young man from Mary land, now a resident of District Colum bia. He it is who gets $185 per month as Bacon’s clerk. Why is this ? Is it be cause there can he no young man found in Orange, Sullivan or Rockland county, with sufficient ability to act as committee clerk for the Honorable Henry Bacon ? A sorry condition indeed for the young democracy of Bacon’s constituency! Over $1,900 during the present session paid through Congressman Bacon to a South ern man, instead of to some young man from his own district. Veterans I Voters! Don’t be deceived, igrpss.

THE DEMOCRATIC MEETING. An Indiscriminate Attack on Republi cans and Republican Candidates. The audience at the Opera House was not so large as it has been at former democratic rallies, owing to the fact that a large republican rabywas held at the Rink. It was composed largely of old time democrats, who cheered the speaker lustily in his tirade against republicanism in every form. The speaker, Hon. Wm. P. Taulbee of Kentucky, proceeded from the start to “ roast ” tbe republican party and its can didates. He denounced all the republi can administrations as administrations of crime, and laid special stress on his de nunciation of the administration of Presi dent R. B, Hayes. He also denounced the republican press by declaring that as they could not find truth to publish in support of their platform, they must nec essarily resort to falsehoods. Seeing that his audience was not very much interested in his subject, he resorted to the usual means of relating some little, funny anec dote which had nothing whatever to do with the present campaign, but which served to wake up some few in the audi ence, who were evidently very tired. Mr. Taulbee was followed by John W. Lyou, esq., of this village, who made a brief speech on the issues of the cam paign, wMchwas very attentively listened to by the audience. ERECTION RETURNS.

The Ewald shoe factory of Deckertown was shut down for five days last week, owing to repairs of the machinery. C. H. Stanton, Superintendent of con struction of the once P., S. & N. E.

It is said that he is here in the interest of' the re-organized railroad company, and the rumor is rife that arrangements are in progress for the early building of the line in New Jersey. Jos. M. Brown, jr., of Unionville, was threshing in this section last week,and on Thursday gave an exhibition of his steam thresher in the streets of Deckertown. The engine drew the machine up the Union House hill, and ciicled about town with surprising ease and dignity. Seymour Lawrence of Deckertown narrowly escaped a fatal injury last week, by the falling o f the smoke stack o f C, A. Wilson’s steam mill. It struck within a few feet of where Mr. Lawrence was standing. The ladies of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union will sell coffee on election day, near the polling places, in the town of Newton.
