CApplaose.) And Mr.. Garnet Of Vir-
ginia, in the closing hours Of that session
Of democratic Congress, stood up and
proclaimed to the country that the cleo
ton Of James Buchanan was free trade
1t had broken down the
bulwsrks Of protection.
Still later, in the very last hours Of
that session, ]. Clancy Jones of Penn
sylvania, the official head OF the House,
as Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee, and also the supposed repre-
sentative of James Buchanan, was obliged
to admit, in the presence of his masters,
that he was not in favor Of tariff for
proteciionl That statement, thank God,
cost him his political life. lie was smit-
ten by the blacksmilh's hammer aud the
woodman's axe. (Cheers) In this Con-
gress, where the representatives were
from the bosom Of the people, and where
Pennsylvania has the ablest representa-
ton she has ever had in the council balls
Of the nation, the tariff bill wen; through

great bulwark of sectional despotism-
or which should rather be denounced as

lovely Kansas, asking admittance into the
sisterhood of states, but she fell weeping
at the doors of that democratic senate
Thus are all the dearest rights OF the
people disregarded aud violated. The
democratic party, inspired by this despot
ism, has fallen away from the faith Of the
fathers. 1t has fallen away from the or,
dinance of 1887; it has fallen away from
the line which gave half the territories
to freedom and half to slavery; it hai
fallen away from the squatter sovereignty
doctrine; it has fallen from the doctrin,
