Col. HiIl made the following response a
CinCinnati,to the toast, East Liverpool,
Ohio; oneof our great pottery centres OF
the United States, From my earliest
recollection tho village in which l have
lived has been surrounded by pottery
kilns, In East Liverpool, Ohio, the bust
ness in this country was first put upon a
paying basis. This was in "yellow" and
buckingham" ware. More recently the
manufacture OF 6ner grades has become
paying branch Of the business. The tariff
OF 1851 gave US the protection we so much
headed, and the work has now become
great one. Yet there never was time
when crockery could be bought so Cheaply
10 this country MS to-day. To-day, by The
benefit OF our experience, We are makinga
class Of goods even superior to that manu-.
featured abroad. The people OF the West,
further west than this, are, reglet to say,
opposing the tariff. They surely do not
understand thatthe lack u protection will
send abroad many millions Of dollars each
year.

that was offered for sale in the South. We
mean by this that the SO per bale Is a
clean, sweet surplus-a surplus over the |
actual profit Of raising ib-over what the
farmer expected to get for tia surplus
over what has usually been paid for II,
The boom has dropped in Atlanta already
(e50 900 bales having been receiyed)-S650,.
900 OF surplus money, that Is just as gratu.
itous to the farmer as il 1t had been paid
by the Bank OF England as a bonus-just
