-I THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, SATUEDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1UD4L TER MS ITU NJII ST Cleveland Assails the Protective Tariff SPEAKS AT NEWARK RALLY Ex-President Is Given a Most Enthusiastic Greeting. TRUST ISSUE IS DISCUSSED Conservatism Is Held to, Bo a Need of the Hour Ex-Controller of the Currency Eckels Also Speaks. NEWARK. N. J., Nov. With a. trib ute to the strength and enthusiasm of tha llrst voter, ex-President Grover Cleveland, In Newark, tonight, began his second speech of the campaign. He waited ten minutes for a cessation of the cheering end noise that his appearance brought forth, and for 35 minutes after he began Ills address 8000 persons, crowded together on the tanbark of a riding academy, al ternately listened and cheered. The occaJon was the closing Iemocrat ic rally of the campaign, a rally under the auspices of a club of "first voters." Mr. Cleveland "was the permanent chair man. On Mr. Cleveland's appearance on the platform, cheer after cheer rolled from one end of the armory to the other. Men stood on chairs, whirling bats on canes, women waved handkerchiefs and clapped their hands, while patriotic airs from a band could be heard. For ten minutes the ex-President stood bowing and smiling in acknowledgment, end repeatedly attempting to address the crowd. A half-way quiet was then re stored and the speech was begun, only to be interrupted by another outburst that lasted for three minutes more. It was only when the audience was drowned into silence by the hisses of those desirous of hearing the ex-President that Mr. Cleve land could go on. This -was Mr. Cleve land's first public appearance In this cam paign in his own state. 3uring his speech Mr. Cleveland was interrupted by remarks of approval from enthusiastic listeners, and on several oc casions, when he departed from his text to impress upon his hearers some point -upon state issues, the demonstration Tiroke out afresh and continued for sev eral minutes. The remarks of the speaker upon the needs of a conservative government were received with an outburst almost equal to that at Mr. Cleveland's entrance into the hall, and when he concluded with an ap peal "that the American people may bo aroused to their sense of justice by these sentiments," the audience was on Its feet, while at the last words of the speaker ral lying his hearers to the support of "that noble, that manly standard-bearer, Alton B. Parker," the enthusiasm seemed to gain renewed strength. The President's speech In the main was devoted to an at tack on the protective tariff. Following Mr. Cleveland, ex-Controller of the Currency James H. Eckels, of Chi cago, addressed the 'meeting. ADDRESS OF CLEVELAND. Tariff Is Denounced, and Conserva tism Held to Be a Need. NEWARK. N. J., Nov. 4. The address of ex-President Cleveland at the Demo cratic rally tonight was as follows: It was 20 years ago almost to a. day that I appeared before Newark audiences charged with the responsibility of ray party's Presiden tial candidacy. The Democratic -platform In that campaign denounced the Republican party for having failed to relieve the people from crush Ins war taxes, and declared that that taxation was unjust taxation. This platform also promised that, if intrusted with the con trol of the Government, "the Democracy would purify the Administration from corruption, re store economy, revive rcepect for law. and re vise the tarin! In a eplrlt of fairness to all In terest." In the contest of 20 years ago the tariff then existing was condemned because in and of Itself, without accomplices or vicious associ ates. It was guilty pf despoiling our people in their homes. Trusts and combinations did not then appear as Its confederates. If they ex isted at all, they were Infant Industries, too few and too young to be mentioned in the plat form of either of the great political parties, and too newly born to be the companions of such other Infant industries as, though etlll -unweaned. had actually grown gray at the breasts of sinfully indulgent tariff protection. The multiplication of this new race of in fant industries soon grew to be wonderfully in excess of all other birth rate records. In 18S8 they had attracted enough attention to be de nounced in both party platforms. The pre cocity of these Infant prodigies ran far ahead of the most exaggerated imagination of pa rental pride. Before they were a day old. they recognized in the policy of high protection the way to growth and strength and wealth. Though it is said sometimes nowadays that the tariff has nothing to do with the trusts, Mr. Havemeycr, the most competent of all men to give expert testimony on the eubjeet. has declared "the tariff la the mother of truste." and the trusts themselves were precocious enougn to know this at the beginning of their Infantile existence. Wall Around American Industries. They knew that tariff protection builds a high wall around American industries, which guards them against competition or disturb ance from abroad, and they know that noth ing prerents the raising of prices to the full height of this wall, except competition among these industries themselves, resulting in the -underselling of each other at home and within the fortified area of their operations. They knew that this barrier standing between our consumers and the exaction of prices as hlch as the wall of tariff protection must be re moved, ana the margin Between prices as mod ified by home competition and. the prices at tainable without such competition, be under the control of the industries, if they were to enjoy the fullest extent the fruits of Govern ment favoritism. They knew that home com petition could be eliminated by 6uch agree ments "among the industries interested, as would regulate prices and production and con centrate managements: out. above all things. they knew well that all devices would entirely fail to accomplish the result desired, if any breach in the wall ot protection against for eign interference was permitted; and they Knew that tee higher una wau was raised the greater would be the scope for their extortion ate machinations. Nor Is It alone is this direct and trainable way that high protection Is an essential factor in industrial combination. Those who manage theee affairs take Into account and consider as an asset of their undertaking the increased profits wnicn must result when tariff protec tion is coupled with the suppression of boms competition; and counting this as money in hand, they are enabled to venture confidently upon the purchase of similar independent en- , terp rises at nign valuations paid in watered stock, or to force their co-operation by threats or ruinous attacic Schemes of this sort, secured against foreign interference by a protective tariff, and shielded from domestic disturbance by covenants of Joint participation and defense when consum mated and fully under way. enhance their profits by what Is colled economy in adminis tration, which Is another phrase for consoli dation of management, hut which really means lees work for many employes and laborers, and the reduction of wages to the lowest nossible limit. I have said, that the higher the wall of protection was raised tne larger was the scooe for the -machinations of these trusts and com- Dilutions. After furnishing- figures to show the Increase in the number of trusts and combinations under Republican protec tive measures, Mr. Cleveland, continu ing said: Dictate the Prices. jttrty has Imposed upon the country, and which defends, .not' only haa something to do with trusts, but by its every nature, as wen as by iU actum mkbv, u is ta paraat ca aooea- aory. of the robbing marauders .which vex and aimer our people s nre ana demand tribute in every home of our land. They dictate the prices we snail pay-for the food we eatsthe clothes we wear, and the habitations In which we lire. W Are within their shadow from the 'cradle to the grave. In the Presidential campaign of 1884 Mr. Cleveland said the people were not in the fetters of trusts and combi nations; the expenditures of the Gov ernment -were careful and economical as compared with the extravagance of tnese later days; and the rate of tariff taxation which the Democracy then condemned as yielding more than suf ficient revenue for Government need was moderate as compared with pres ent taxations. Mr. Cleveland continued: I come again after 20 years. The rata of tariff taxaUon has Increased by one-fourth, the expenauure or tne. uorernment nas more than doubled, and hundreds of Industrial trusts and combinations, the vicious progeny of extreme tariff protection openly or stealthily search the pockets, pf our people. Again I use my words of 20 years ago, "the right of the Gov ernment . to exact tribute from the citizen is limited by its exact secensltles, and every cent taken from tho people beyond that required for their protection by the Government Is no bet ter man robbery." As I repvt those words, the question Is In mind whetSer the startling changes we con template will add force and emnhasls to this sentiment which. In 18&1. was Indorsed by our cpuntrytneu, or whether with these changes anomer ot deeper ana eaaaer significance has i&icen. pis.ee. in our peopic-s modes of thought and their conceptions of American sturdlness or. citizenship. Has the steady growth of pub lic extravagance been so artfully concealed by glorification of their country's progress that they no longer consider public frugality as a fundamental element in governmental duty, which they cannot remit either with safety to our institutions or Justice to their own best interests? Have our ueoole been so misled bv the glamour of unsound prosperity, and so deceived by the pretense that an exorbitant protective tariff in some mysterious way assures their happiness and easy existence, that they are willing to accept a blind faith In a prosperity which the masses of our countrymen neither see nor feel, as against the tangible evidence supplied by increased cost of every necessity of lite, enforced self-denial la every home and everywhere curtailed opportunity for remuner ative employment? Has the pressure of the trusts and mon opolies become so familiar and have their pretenses ot benevolent purposes so deluded our people mat they are willing abjectly to surrender their claims to equality before tne law ana to support a policy which, to tbelr undoing, makes these aggregations ot riches and power- more rich and more pow erful? Have the Dlaln seoDle of our land Independent, proud Americans so degener ated that they do not resent the humiliating suggestion that those made rich through un just favoritism will care for them, and are tney content to rely on the tender mercies of such intermediaries as these. Instead of the direct consideration due them from their Government? Have our people reached such a state of listless indifference that they see nothing wrong in a scheme of tariff pro tection which supplies to foreign consumers articles of necessary use, which are the worn oz American hanas ana American in genuity, at a cheaper rate than they can be purchased by American citizens? Are they willing, for the sake of continuing this dis crimination against themselves, to prepetu- ate the policy which burdens them with pro tective tariff taxation? "I will not believe that my countrymen are either willfully reckless ot their Na tion's safety or heedless of their duty of citizenship or insensible to their rights and Interests; but whether they will hear or whether they "will forbear, I cannot refrain' from urging upon them the especial neces sity at this time of sober, conscientious re flection, and exhorting them to a dutiful re view of the intent of our Nation's establish ment, the character of Its mission and Its present plight. If this Is honestly under taken and It the exigencies of the hour are clearly seen and patriotically met, I shall not fear for the result. Plea for Conservation. Democracy, Mr. Cleveland said, is con servative; and a conservative government was never more needed than now. De mocracy insists that the Constitution should be the chart and constant guide of National conduct; and never was a re newal of obedience to Constitutional com mands more necessary. The Democratic party regards tariff charges as a. tax upon the people. Justified only by the necessity of providing for the expenses of their Government; and it holds that, like all other taxes, these charges should 3e as equitably distributed as possible. It' con demns tariff legislation for the sole pur pose of protection as an unavoidable source of Inequality an.d favoritism and as promotive of oppressive industrial com binations; and so far as tariff duties im posed for revenue may incidentally- result in some degree of protection, it insists that this should be so arranged as to best subserve the general welfare. Concluding, he said: Our party makes no warfare upon the rich nor upon any legitimate enterprises. Its definition of American citizenship Is broad enough and Just enough to embrace all peo ple, the rich and poor alike, and all cor porations and associations ot capital, legiti mately engaged In legitimate business; hut It Insists that the Government should In no way, and by no device or abuse of Its func tions, be accessory to the creation of vast combinations of Industrial and business en terprises whose inevitable tendencies are to control wrongfully the cost of our people's living and strangle Independent and Indi vidual business effort. Equality before the law and equal oppor tunities for all define cardinal Democratic doctrine. Under this flag we fight the bat tle of the people. We seek to Invest them again with the equality which is their right by virtue of American citizenship, and to restore to them tho equal opportunity which Is the right of American manhood. ETJSSIA EXATTOENG IT. Britain Walts for Her to Approve Draft of North Sea Convention. LONDON, Nov, 4. Regarding the . re ports of the complexion of .the Anglo-Russian convention the Foreign Office to day recited that while an agreement in principle appears to have been reached regarding the form and scope of the Inter national commission, nothing has yet been settled anent the venue and personnel, and nothing can be definitely settled until the authorities at St. Petersburg have an opportunity to examine the text of the BRITAIN GIVES WARNING.

Foreign Secretary Lansdowne, in a letter dated November Z, has informed a British shlpowning firm that "It is not permlssibln for Brit ish owners to charter their vessels for tho purpose of following the Russian fleet with coal." The letter was In reply to a di rect query from the firm, which drew the attention of the Foreign Office to the British collier Roddam, which was then lying at Vigo, awaiting the arrival of the Russian squadron, and asked If Brit ish owners were entitled to charter their vessels for this purpose. Warships Will Likely Venture Out. SHANGHAI, Nov. 4. Advices reach ing Shanghai today say the Jap anese assault on Port Arthur contin ues with unabated- vigor, and that tho Russian defense is dogged and deter mined.

Russian Fleet Was Told to Expect to Meet Japanese Boats. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 5, 4:15 A. M Bt Petersburg newspapers and their cor respondents have been unremlttent in their efforts to Interview Captain Claddo and his fellow officers from the Baltic squadron, who, however, have steadfastly refused to talk for publication. The No voe Vremya this morning prints a long letter, dated Vigo, Otcober 28, and cred ited to a man of the Baltic squadron, containing a summary of events leading up to the firing on the British trawlers and the incidents of the night of October 2L The letter says that Admiral Rojest vensky and the Admiralty, before the sailing of the squadron, received from secret agents a mass of Information re garding the plans and whereabouts of Japanese in European waters. The letter says: "The Japanese had torpedo-boats in the Norwegian fjords and also purchased a number of fishing vessels at Hamburg, Hull, Southampton and Chris tlanla. The Russians also purchased a number of fishers, small steamers for scouting .duty. "The Russian government warned the governments -of -Germany, Denmark and Great Britain "of the information in Its possession and asked that special precau tions be taken to keep the track of the squadron clear of commercial vessels. Ger many and Denmark both responded. Den mark sent a warship with the squadron and warned off a number of fishermen and coasting craft Before leaving Skagen, Admiral Rojestvensky received further specific Information stating that four Japanese torpedo-boats, accompanied by a collier, were waiting west of Cape Skagen. The Baltic squadron left in the morning, and the Japanese, in order to make a night attack, were obliged to fol low and catch up with the warships In the North Sea." The writer enters Into a detailed state ment of the movements of the various divisions of the squadron the day the ships left Skagen. tending to show that all the Russian torpedo-boats were sent ahead and that none of them were any where in touch with the battleship and cruiser divisions. The night of October 21, according to this letter, Admiral Ro jestvensky received a wireless message from the transport Kamtchatka, saying there was trouble with her machinery, that she was 20 miles' In the rear and asked whether the squadron would await her arrival or proceed. The letter goes on: "Then came a number of wireless mes sages in Russian, also signed Kamtchat ka, asking the squadron's whereabouts by latitude and longitude, especially where the battleships Orel and Knlaz Souvaroff were These messsages excited suspicion, and the flagship replied, asking the names and the number in the family ot a cer tain officer on hoard the Kamtchatka. Thereupon the messages stopped." It was 12wa o'clock that night, the writer of this letter continues, when the squadron saw a green flare such as is used by Vessels In distress, evidently a signal asking the squadron to stop and assist. Sooa iharaaftar & searchlight m thrown on the Russian vessels by a ves sel supposed to be accompanying the Japanese torpedo-boats. This made the squadron a plain target for attack. At tho same time the Russians made out the forms of two torpedo-boats In the darkness to one side. Searchlights were immediately thrown in tho squadron on the strange torpedo-boats, who instantly darted ahead at full speed. The squadron opened fire and the boats came under the guns of tho Orel, Knlaz Souvaroff and Borodino. It is thought that one was sunk. Meantime the squadron got en tangled with the trawler fleet, which was displaying no lights, flags or signals. Ad miral Rojcstvensky, however, despite the fact that soma of them were close enough to do serious damage had thoy had evil intent, signaled the squadron to stop fir ing. Some of the trawlers were then close under the bows of the squadron. The Russian ships did not stop, either to assist or to inquire if assistance were needed. Such proceeding at night time, the letter says, would have been entirely too hazardous. The letter says Admiral Rojestvensky was detained outside of Brest to wait for orders, and then proceeded to Vigo. BOARD MAY SIT IN TEN DAYS. Delcasse Says North Sea Commission Will Meet In Paris. PARIS. Nov. 4. Foreign Minister Del casse announced to the Council of Min isters today the detalU of the approach-v lng session of the Anglo-Russian commls- eion in tho North Sea incident He said tnat by agreement between both Dartles Paris has now been formally determined upon for the sessions of the commission. These may begin about November 1$, If arrangements are possible to secure a full attendance by that time. Otherwise the sessions will open soon after that date. The commission will be composed of British, Russian, French and Ameri can Admirals, one from each country, these four to select a fifth Admiral. The sessions will be held at the Foreign Office, probably in the hall of the Am bassadors. M. Delcasse is arranging to give the commission every facility. It is the understanding that the commission will hear oral testimony, chiefly that of the Russian officers who were detached from their ships at Vigo and the principal witnesses who testified at the Hull in quest The desire of the authorities here is to expedite the inquiry, as It is under stood to be the wish of all concerned to reach an early decision. M. Delcasse's statement to the Minis ters was based upon official advices show ing the present status of the negotiations which continue to be open to modification pending the formal adhesion of both par ties to tho convention. However, as the reports show that both Great Britain and Russia are In favor of the sessions being held in Paris, the officials here consider that the point is settled, but they recog nize that the composition and member ship of the commission and other details will not be final until Russia formally accepts the convention. Chance for Russian Mistake. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 4. The possibility that there may have been some misunderstanding of signals during the trawler Incident In the North Sea is suggested by a fact made public in an order of the day issued by Vice-Admiral Crpuknln. commander of the Black Sea fleet wmch records the fact that officers of the latter fleet are so unfamiliar with the new code system adopted by the Ad mlralty that during tho recent maneu vers not a single ship understood ' or obeyed the Admiral's signals.

LOSSES REPORTED ENORMOUS Besiegers Take Fort No. 3, but Are Unable to Hold ItNog'I's Actions Show He Is Confident of an Early Victory. CHEFOO. Nov. L Information has been brought by Chinese that the six days of bombardment and desperate efforts on the part of the besiegers to take tho fortress of Port Arthur ceased on Thurs day. The Japanese took Fort No. 3, but were unable to hold it The Japanese losses are reported to have been enor mous. Chinese who left Port Dalny yesterday evening report that batches of wound ed Japanese were then passing through Dalny. They report also that during the recent battle fr68h Japanese troops were constantly going to the front It Is widely reported at Dalny that the Japancso killed or wounded in front of Port Arthur during the last three months approximate 40,000. There are persistent rumors that the Japanese have occupied the forts on Rihlung Mountain and certain forts of the Keekwan Mountain group, but well-informed Japanese here consider these rumors as premature. These Japanese, however, are confident that the end of the Russian occupation of Port Arthur Is fast approaching. They admit they have been disappointed heretofore, but say that their previous hopes never had such a fact-based foundation as those they at present en tertain. The fact that General Nogi. com mander of the Third Japanese Army before Port Arthur, has allowed the Associated Press dispatches to leave the front of the base of his operations is looked upon as strongly indicating the confident spirit of the besiegers. Further tidings of events at Port Arthur aro awaited here with an inten sity of interest greater than any dis played since the beginning of the war. TRY TO GET FLEET OUT. Admiral Togo Is Seeking to Compel Russians to Leave. LONDON, Nov. 5. Conflicting reports emanate from Chefoo regarding the result of the latest assault on Port Arthur, Bennett Burleigh, of the Dally Telegraph, who passed the fortress in a steamer, says that all was quiet at 6 o'clock Friday morning and that there were no signs of firing or of any movement His steamer was thrice chased and boarded by Japan ese within a brief period, the Japanese forbidding any navigation within 20 miles of Port Arthur. The Dally Telegraph's correspondent at Chefoo learns that the Japanese are seek ing to compel the Russian fleet to quit the harbor, and that Vice-Admiral Togo is prepared for this move. If It Is effec tive, the correspondent adds, the Japanese will settle down to a "Winter's siege. GREAT RELIEF IN RUSSIA. Consul Reports the Japanese Assault Was Unsuccessful. ST. PETERSBURG. Nov! 5. (6:40 A. M.) Great relief is felt in view of reports indicating that the Japanese assaults on Port Arthur have been unsuccessful. A direct report from the Russian Consul at Chefoo says he has received information from Chinese sources that the Japanese finally relinquished the attempt on No vember 3, the Mikado's birthday, after losing enormously. The Consul Bays the carnage was awful. The bombardment continued six days without Intermission. The Japanese breached and took Fort No. 3, but ac cording to tho Chinese, were forced to abandon it owing to the concentrated fire irom the supporting fortifications. No confirmation has been received here of the report that General Stoessel was wounded. Among high officers at the "War Office. where the true conditions Inside the fort ress of Port Arthur are known. General Stoessel's ability to hold out against the efforts the Japanese concentrated on it during the last ten days is regarded as marvelous, but no confidence la the ulti mate result Is entertained. Officers have been prepared to hear that the fortress had fallen. Dogs Locate Russian Sentinels. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 4.
