restllenre, tempests, and all the gre 4,
accidents that come to us without are
power to prevent it, are beyond our
reach, yet there is great political
organization in this country that can
give you policy written by its
iaish and its own hand, against all
the evils that can come TO you from
bad legislation and the reckless
Wickedness of bad finance. For such
a business insurance, the business
men of Cleveland and the business
men of America are manifestly will
ing to make some effort and bear
some sacrifice, and that, take it, is
the business meaning of this assem-
blage here to-day. Now, the second
thought | had was: You are citi-
zens of Ohio, and you are living illus
tgations of the first children of the
pioneers who planted Ohio. When
your fathers were born Ohio was un-
known except as trackess wilder
ness, and yet where the smoke from
not dozen white mems cabins
assembled to the sky in all this terri
tory, now three and a.quarter mil
lions OF happy people. prosperous,
honorable and successful, are living
and guiding the destinies of apeOple
as great in numbers and wealth as ali
who inhabited the thirteen colonies
when our father won their indepen-
dence. What a spectacle is that /!
And all this prosperity was won by
the simple, plain, straightforward
process of downright hard work.
That WAS what did it. Labor first
laid out on the raw materials that
God made, and then capital. which is
only another name for crystaliZed
labor saved up, protected and saved
ty the strong arms of equal and just
and honest laws. Now that is Ohio
Well, now there is a third, and larger
thought. Proud as you are of what
you have been and what you have
done for Cleveland, for Ohio; yet
your pride rises at a little piece of
bunting-a flag with stars and stripes
upon it; that speaks of a great con-
tinent, with government that covers
~ ilOiIi oSo w SCttS HUM VIC idhCS W
the gulf, and that you, as citizens of
that Republic, have a right to walk
on every foot of it as the equal of any
man that lives anywhere, and that
the score of black men that see here
and there have just as good a right as
the whitest of us all. Now, these are
the thoughts that come to me as |
look upon these Cuyahoga faces.
"You are in the midst of a great
contest, gentlemen. On that contest

Gen. Hancock and his party have
lost each other in the mazes of the
tariff labyrinth, out of which there
issue distressful cries for common
meeting point. Senator Randolph is
so old and shrewd politician that
his blunder in inviting the candidate
to explain to the people of the coun-
try how little he knows of questions
of political economy is inconceivabIe
and the Democrats may tender him
all the thanks they please for his ex-
plot. We do not know that any
situation in politics could be more
absurd than this one. The decIara-
ton of the Cincinnati platform was
in favor of "a tariff for revenue
only" That little word "only" is
not difficult one to Understandable
has no mystical double significance.
In this connection it means that the
Democracy expresses its desire for
tariff solely and singIy for the pur-
pose of raising the government rev.
enue, and that if it elects General
Hancock and preserves a majority in
Congress it will so legislats as to
wipe out the American practice of
protection to native Industries.
Moreover, Gen. Hancock, in his let.
ter to Blanton Duncan, written when
he was sounded as to whether he
would accept Greenback nomina
ton to the presidency. said that he
would of course endorse the platform
of any party from which he should
accept nomination. Thus, in tax.
ing the gift proffered him by the
Cincinnati convention, he bound
himself to support its free trade
dogma, and there is no word in his
letter of acceptance to indicate that
that dogma was distasteful to him.
1t was only when actual proof made
it apparent that the Democratic par
ty was cutting its own throat in In
diana, Ohio, New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut by its avowed hos.
tility to protection, that Gen. Han
cock, at the luckless instigation of
Senator Randolph, coolly undertakes
to revise the national platform and
place it on a par with Republican
economical doctrine. Where in the
document to which he SD recently
subscribed does he find even the
slightest implication that "a tariff for
revenue only" means "a tariff for
revenue and incidental protection" +?
His Juggling with the English lam
guage will not persuade any of the
artisan voters of the United States
that defeat has changed the tariff
notions of the party managers who
have their superb candidate in
charge. -B0ito American.

minute. 1t should be mentioned that her
hull, or rather hulls, are to be OF iron, each
five feet six inches in diameter and cigar
shaped. OF course it wal be understood that
she will have no cabins below the water,
as in the ordinary steamboat. On account
of peculiar boiler, Mr.. Voorhis expects
to be able with perfect safety to carry 10
pounds of steam to the square inch, where
as the common boats rarely exceed from
thirty to thirty-five pounds. Great speed
is expected to result from the following
considerations: From the length and mar
| rowness of the engine cylinders, giving
great speed to the machinery, and from the
shallow draft of water, the draft amidships
being less than three feet and gradually
diminishing to nothing fore and aft In
proportion to her displacement, no other
boat has one-third the power this novel
steamer will possess. 1t is intended to use
her as passenger boat. and her carrying
capacity win be seventy-t three tons or about
five hundred passengers.
She will have four bulkbeads comprising
hve alr-tight compartments, which will be
placed nine feet apart, and the deck over
her center will be 125 feet long, including
a saloon of the same length and as wide as
the vessel itself. In case Mr.. Voorhis' new
nautical venture turns out to be the great
success which he anticipates. the so-called
| fast boats Of the day will have to retire on

era in steamboating on the historic Hud
