President Perry then read the annual
address, which was an exhaustive review
OF every point connected with the stove
manufacturing business. lie spoke
strongly against free trade with Great
Britain or any Of the provinces Of that
power, which he said could afford 10
food the American market with heI
wares, paying, as she does, lower prices
TO her operatives, and having al the
advantages Of old establishments, great
experience and vast maChlnery-the aC
GumulAtion Of years, when she protected

tablish the truth OF bis atatemenls.
W. II. Whitehead, Of Chicago, then de-
liyered an address OF welcome,
Col. RathbOne, Of Chicago, said while
he admired the ability and statistical In
formation Of Mr.. Perry, whom the ABso
citation had honOred by electing him theil
President during three successive terms
he should like 70 know why Mr., Perry
had thrown q fire brand into the Asso
citation by issuing circular, In which Il
stated that certain patents had been pur
chased by his firm, and others invented
and on which there was threat Of lOgaI
proceeding unless the firms paid u royalty
TO the establishment, at the head Of which
was the President Of the Stove Manufac
turers Association. Mr.. Perry defended
the act by saying that his Grm had
bought several patents, and had done
this merely aa matter Of protection
to its business interests. There were mt
threats. II was only with reference tc
tho legally constituted parties who would
settle tho matters that the firms them
selves could mol agree.

One Of TiItOn,s Letters.

New York Dispatch to Chicago Tribune
Eyarts read the first letter, and an ex-
tract from it shows It's singularity clearly
enough;
@But II Jesus Christ had taken wife,
and iathcred family, ! believe that this
fact would have so completely humanized
him in the eyes Of the world, that he new
or would have been regarded as God, or
the only begOtten Son OF God and yet, II
as the son OF Mary, he had become tho
husband Of Galilean girl, and these
twain had dwelt in cottage by the Lake
Of Genesaret, and unto them had been born
children like those Of whom he said,
"SuHer them to come unto me" let me
inquire whether or not you would love the
character Of Jesus any less than you love
1t nOw?"
The stupcndous insolencC Of conjeCtur.
ing jesus Christ in a marital capacity In
plain English dumbfounded the court,
Such vast possibilities had never occurred
to the majority Of tho spectators, They
were 10th to believe their ears, and when
the voice Of the reader stopped, there was
ono loud murmur Of amazement.
