reduction in public e spend it res Shall we ft e have it shall w e b have g good government shall wo we have e cheap hap government shall we have lower taxes they tell us that the tile government can aan be well carried on fur for 1 0 less than is now az X collected collo cred from the public if cleveland shall come into the presidential office I 1 believe he lie will bring bi ing the cs ex V lures tures down to the last dollar that will support the government economically administered cheers and then when he lie does that ha lie will have accomplished what general jackson said was the duty of any government A government has not the right to collect a dollar from tho the people except what is necessary to meet the public publio service cheers and crieg of that is right what a government needs she has a right to come te to me ine or to you or to all of us and make us pay for it but when sall all that slie she needs for economical administration she has not a right to take another sixpence out of our private wealth and that is all we ask when this ticket shall wave in triumph that idea will be established in this country cheera cheers I 1 thank you ou very very much for
