[Second Dispatch.I
INDIANAPOLIS. August A. At a
meeting of the Association held in
the Rink at noon to-day, after a
lengthy address by John L. Hays, of
Boston. on the manufacturing inter-
ests of this country, the following res
olutions were adopted:
ResoiUed, That We approve the prin-
ciple of fair and just protection to
home industry, not only as applied to
wool aud woOlens, but to otner
branches of protection and manufac-
lures, as opening the way for compe-
titiOn, for fair wages, for an increase
oE h~. k-odn hama raEwLnN hnatF ~
foreign trade, and the best good of the
people.
ResolUed, That we recognize the
free trade movement, as a struggle on
the part of our British competitors
for the control aud possession of cur
markets By breaking down our new
industries, which control would
be disastrous to cur industry and
finances.
ResolUed, That we ask the frea
traders to take open ground for free
trade and low wages, the latter being
the inevitable result OF their theory,
and no longer claim or pretend to be the
friends of the working man, when 10
fact they are his enemies, and their
success will reduce him to the pauper
pay Of British factory workmeu, or de-
prive him wholly of employment.
ResolUed, That we ask the manu-
| facturers of England and Europe t.
come here with their capital, skill,
workmen and machinery TO help pay
our taxes. be fed from our farms, pay
their workmen American wages, anC
share the benefits of our free instltu
tions; and we welcome them to a full
aud fair enjoyment of the benefit:
which they claim we enjoy, By reason
of our protective policy, and consider
such fair competition far more honor
able than the effort to reduce our peo
pie to national ruin by the spread ol
/ free trade sophisms among US.
