stand ss to what is the real character
and purpose Of the Democratic party
with regard to the tariff question. Ii
the same speech, made on the 23d o
september, 1880, your Sen ator, resident
IN this city, said, in a.public speech a
New York
"Fellow eiti2sns When read the
silly and vsporing platform Of Mr..
Pierrepont and the self adulations Of
Mr.. Sherman and his associates, claim

restoration Of sound currency (uot yet
restored) and the presence Of pros
perity which has come despite the in
reference and obstruction in the South
and the continuance Of war tariffs in
time Of peace" etc.
So my friend, Mr.. Bayard, on the
23rd Of September, thought that pros
perity hal come sin dsspi.soi the con.
tinuanos of war tariffs In time Of peace
He is too sincere q man to have de
ceiysd that audience. He weighs hi
words too well TO have meant othel
than he said, and that means, II il
means anything, that the war tariff
should be ended In time Of peace. L
it does not mean that, somebody ia
cheated, and somebody, upwittipgly Of
course, lent himself to the process Of
cheating. There is NO escape from it,
Delaware needs protection. My
friends, referring evidently to asligh,
oommotion in some part Of the house,
don't be disturbed with regard to any
thing of that kind. am always glad
when there comes any sign II agony
among the unconvertsd SO long as 6
man can be stung by the truth there Ii
hope for him. (Applause and laugh
