/ tuiS very uay Inc cutlery Oi tDdJ NEW
Britain, Conn.,, make is sold in Birm-
lnghan and Sheffield right under their
very noses. [Applause.l Oh, indeed!
They are going TO shut up shop, are
! they Laughter. Going TO get mad
[Laughter], be tomfools, aud get mad
when Hancock Is elected? Going to
make no more cutlery and send it
abroad TO make money? Oh, fellow
citizens, il is dish onorable,i 1T is dishonest
to The very core of their rotten hearts,
for men to talk in that way. [Applause.]
"A2ain, there is ID my own city
machine shop-one OF tue largest In the
vorld-tbe shop of Pratt L. Whitney.
The head of the establishment is sgen-
tlenen, although he is Republican,
strange as it may seem. [Laughter.]
lie don't undertake to bulld0zs his psn.
There are TOO or 500 of them. But his
father does, and stockholders do, aud
tell the men that there won't be any
work; that their shops will shut up-the
same old story about the poorhouse If
hancock is elected. What is the fact
about that industry? Why, this day that
establishment is executing orders for
the Emperor of Germany, for the rtpub-
lie OF France, sending their wares across
the Atlantic and competing with and
beating British manufacturers in mark
cts TO reach which the latter have only
little channel of twenty-five miles 10
cross. [Applause.] Shut up shop, will
they? This was spoken with peculiar
satire, and ELECTED roar of laughter.]
"Again, there is lhe great cotton in
dustry of this country. We are so far
ahead of our British competitions that
they are pirating our trade marks every
day. [Applause1 l say this because,
as Chairman of the Committee on For
eign Aft ,irs in the Senate, it was my
: duty to look into this thing. tell this
great audience that England cannot
: make any of these goods and put them
} down in London and Liverpool for the
{ same price as we make them. So the
- Euglshmen take the gummed and
3 Almsystarched cotton goods aud put the
z trade marks of American mills on them
y to delude and Cheat their own people"
[Applause.]
Senator Eaton told story of how he
had exposed the dnplicity of the manu-
:, tacturer before all audience by cha,leng-
ing him to deny thai he could make
: goods aud sell them in New York at six
1 and a half cents yard that could not
|. be manufactured in Great Britain for
e eight aud half cents yard. He said
" that IN the face of this exposure the
n oulldozing manuf cturer was as dumb
$ rs an oyster. Yet tat man had been
# telling his workmen that he would have
- to shut up his shop if Hancock was
- cleo Ell, because the British merchants
:, would come here and undersel him
Laughter The mau knew that he wa:
IL telling lie. As to the charge that ht
e was free trader Senator Eaton said
MIR. Hawley said In reference to th'
e bill have told you of, in large puhli'
- meeting, that this was the bill OF FREE
r. trader. Now, Shakespeare says some
| thing about a mans writing himsel
down an ass. An American, whos'
1. Government owes $1,000, 100000, the in
10 Lerest upon which, together with the ex
nj penses Of the Government, must be paid
:: would be an ass to suppose that ther'
d can be any such thing as free trade
Z: Therefore, not desiring to enter int
N competition with any Republican, hav
is declined to become M mber of an,
II tree u ade club" This allusion to Gar
ol fields membership i'll the Golden Clul
Il brought down the house Senator Eat
in on continned: "They say be is only al
a honorary member. Well, never SAT-
r. he was an honorable member. Laugh
r. ter.1 said he was member, and
Of suppose they made him an honorar!
p member because they thought he was il
Of accord with them" [Great laughter.
" Senator Eaton next reviewed Gen
= Garfeld's record on the Chinese ques
a tiou, and said that showed the hollow
D. ness OF his pretence that he or his part.
at had tue interest of the wolkingmeE a
,K heart. lie said that Garfield had bee
le covered with mud by Republicans TO
~ his bad record, and now the same Re
re- publicaus were currying and cleanin
d him. TLaughLerl He wanted to hca
AL Garfield deny it if he dare, and the
w swear to it as he did to his Credit Mo
y. bilier record. [Laughterl He wa
H. satisfied from the evidence that Gar
nd field had been in favor of the Chimes
a cheap labor that had been brought her
n to compete with American workmen
a, Senator Eaton deprecated the attempt
n 10 frighten American workmen, and de
ic ared that he believed such attempt
ve would fail, because the white lahore
Sc was entitled to quite as much freedom
be as the black man. He next spoke q
mi Grant as "blppodroming about tn
~ country" in tile Interest oil his own Ihlr,
~ | term. and in accordance with Conkline'
e., bargain win -Uarheu' nv ""' NSi
n tain 4 bat MIR. Conkling had compelled
W Garfield to put it III writing, because h
II knew enough not TO trust him. Laugh
n ter.l Senator Eaton then spoke of tn
A. necessity for change OF the navigation
= laws so as to permit the purchase o
M ship for the American shipping trade
,e He declared that as soon as the law
ut would permit the capital would b
| fnrih,oming 10 pu chase forty steam
Pc hips, which would be the p!oneers OF a
n American CONNER cial marine. In col
clusion he called upon New York to d
,a its duty i'm the coming election, so tina
.r she might he lp achieve the greatest vic
q, tory for the rights of mankind tina
Ie ever was won by five millions OF people
