he has driven, and regretted that neither
the workingman nor the workingwoman
could feast the eye upon their beauties.
"Why," he queried cannot those who
make the bouleyards drive along them J
Why cannot those who build the 6ne
houses live in themI Why cannot those
who build fine carriages ride in themY
These were questions the people intend
ed 10 ask until they were satisfactorily
answered. They did not propose to des-

but to enjoy them. [Cheers.l :.

wore broadcloth Of foreign importation.
By ladies' who wore gloves offoreign i'm
porta,ion. Why, az to that, everything
In the country was originally Of foreign
importation. Americans were not gen.

The trades.unions OF Great Briton
numbered, when their last convention
was held, $4,000 men; yet nobody in

Of 100, 900 men to shoot them down.
They had not made asses OF themselves
like American boards Of trade, who clam.
ored for an army, but be would say
that there were one million OF working.
men organized 10 meet those boards Of
trade any day. Prolonged applause.l
He alluded TO the educational system
in the English manufacturing districts,
and said It was preferable 10 that In
vogue in Massachusetts,. He wanted to
know why Mayor Heath was not there 10
preside at that meeting, as he ought to be.
II be wa there they'd make communist
Of him. CLaughter.l
"Heath's looking after the GattliDg
guns" crided voice from the crowd.
He then dealt with the short-hour
and other questions in the usual platform
strain.
Taking Of convict labor he said It
would be all right II the prisoners rec.
eiyed fair union wages, their food and
clothing 10 be deducted and the balance
given to themselves when they came ont.
They did not get 1.-THE men 10 the

He concluded by reciting poem, the
refrain Of which was,
Eight hours for work,
Eight hours Tor rest,

Several persons rose 10 leave.
