treasury.
Another form Of protection is subs
iy. Mr.. Bayard cited the case of Joh
Roach, of Chester, and his application
to Congress for a subsidy of $4,000
per year for ten years for his proposed
steamship line between New York ant
Rio Janeiro. Had this been carried
'ut, private lines from other American
ports to Rio Janeiro would have beel
driven from the seas and the ship own
srs would have been ruined by compe
tition with their own Government.
The Harlan & Hollingsworth Compa
uy, and the Pusey & Jones Co. build al
good ships as float the ocean. Mr.
Roach is one of their competitors; ia II
right that the capitalists and mechan
les OF Wilmington should Dc brough,
in competition with the treasury o
the United States standing at the bach
of q private individual? If such sys
tenn is to prevail the people will NJ
longer uphold the nation with strong
arms and faithful hearts, but will craw.
at the feet of paternal government pick
ing up what crumbs it may let fall.
The revival Of trade in this country,
Mr.. Bsyard said was contemporaueous
with the advent Of the Democratic ma
jority in both Houses Of Congress. He
did not claim that the Democratic par.
ty brought it about, but he modestly
claimed that II did not hinder it's re-
vival. The great Increase he said
came from on high in the crops that God
bountifully sent, and no small part
Of it was brought about by the great
cotton crop of the South, that section
SO despised aud hated by large part
Of the Republican party.
Mr.. Bayard then referred to his po-
sition in the Senate Finance Committee
no desirable position to fill, but where
he had striven to divise a law thst in
stead of shutting up the workshops of
Wilmington would start two factories
where there is one now, employ ten
laborers where there is one now and
that lsborers should be paid So, where
81 is now paid.
Referring again to the tariff N. Bay
ard declared it to be system of war
tax, and he censured the Republican
party for keeping up such a system in
time of peace. The Democratic party
would lay tariff so as to bring reve-
nue.. There are now hundreds of arti-
cles on the tariff list that do not bring
in cent. The best informed manu-
facturers want certain articles placed
on the free list, and there have been
many petitions from manufacturers in
this city asking that certain articles
needed in manufacturing here be added
10 that list.
We now, with population Of 50,-
900, 900, manufacture enough for 100,-
900, 900 of people. The Democratic
party proposes by adjusting the tariff,
to give manufacturers such materials
as will enable them to carry this sur.
plus into the markets of the world.
The Democratic party would not build
a Chinese wall about the capitalist and
the laborer, but would give them the
world for o market.
Mr.. Bayard had nothing to say
against Garfield nor the 329 charge but
be declared that the issue in this cam.
paign was not the bloody shirt, rebel
claims, nor the tariff. General Garfield
Is a member OF the Free Trade Golden
Club. The tariff question is but side
show. Under Gsrfeld's robes is the
Third term. Garfield mas surrendered
to Grant and Grants party, and he is
but stalking horse for their power in
1884. Garfield could not have been
unless he had given him
self over to the party Of which Grant is
The dangerous head. The election of
Garfield means a Grant triumph, and il
paves the way to third, fourth or a
fortieth term.
Mr.. Bayard closed with high eulo-
yium CT General Hancock and predicted
his triumphant election.
Three cheers were given for Bsyard
md Hancock.
