HOME. ... .
When the special train left Allentown, Pa,
on Saturday morning. Mr. Greeley might well have ex
penenced sensation of relief Ia turning his
face homewards after so many days OF conun-
nous and wearisome travel. He had mado nearly
200 speeches, short and long, In ii days.

Of enthusiastic citizens and had been subject to degree
of fatigue which had worn out nearly al OF thosc
accompanying him. Only twice had he met with any
thing like decided feeling for the denomination ucket

Gov. Randolph reoined the party, and came to New

returned home The principal speeches OF the day are
appended:

my position. Now, then. turn to the platform of the
Cincinnati and Baltimore Conventions and what We
say the subject OF tariffs We say that there Is
an honest difference Of opinion on this question
and that each citizen shall be at liberty TO vote for
bers of Congress in accordance with his own
cerained aud determined shall rule. DO you believe In

Now, feow-ctzens is there man unntellgent as
not to know that the present prosperity OF the iron n
OF this country depends not at all tariffs but on
the fact that all the world iron in great demand
and is selling prices nearly double those three
years ago. The world Ia ronhunRTy the world calling

and the world cannot be provided with as
much iron as wants probably for years 20 come. Tie
price then is high because of combinations between
producers though they may IN time of scarcity have
effect not because OF tariffs though they have had Their
influence. 1t my judgment when the war closed
that large duty on iron-I mean duty OF $40 tun-
would have led TO a rapid duplication of our furnaces,
and in a time like the present would have secured
cheaper iron TO US than nov stili believe that be-
eye If tho duty had been fixed at sl0 un st the close
