va Ia had been acquainted with Mt.
N.,ris TAYLOR, one of the editors Of that
-,osr for . long time, and he was
r Tsr for whom he had the highest re.

X S soue others on that paper to pattern
ahE him. IL,
Tianv one would take that editorial
and compare it with what he did say,
tSw would be convinced Of the unfair
TsT fit. 1t was strange that men
vho profess TO run O newspaper could
IA 30 stupid as to publish such tissue
cffslsehoods. He did not know II that
U,npr urofessed to represent the rank of
IN Democratic party, but he would ad'
viss the young gentlemen who act as
pDOrters for it, to tell the truth and
l6sms the devil.
MI, Hastings expressed his intention
cfrepeating part Of bis Newark speech,
Dthst his hearers could judge between
what he did say ,and what he is reported
Slhsying said. He believed that he
was addressing a body Of intelligent
VOrEingmen, who would agree with
him in what he had said in reference to
protection of American labor. The
speaker then read from manuscript,
what he had said on that occasion,
which was In effect that In order to COM
ete with others he was compelled to
employ labor rs cheap as any other
man In the same business, still he was
In favor Of paying as much wages as
his business would allow; II projection
we're removed, then wages must come
down, and he could not afford to pay
more than others.
Hsshowed the evils that must result
fthe tariff was removed, and said that
the position Of the Democrat party in
advocating free trade, or q tariff for
revenue only, was q delusion and o
snare, and all their talk about the ben.
eAts that would Jesuit from free trade
was nothing but the sheerest nonsense.
1t Is only Democratic fiction, indulg-
cd in by Democrat orators to prejudice
the people against the Republican doc
trine OfprOtection.
Mr. Hastings then reviewed Senator
Bayard'S recent spesch in the Opera
House, in which he said that nearly
thirty million dollars that had been
saved to the manufacturers of Bessi-
mer steel rails, had gone into their
pockets. He denied this assertion, and
said that this money had gone to the
Norklngmen in the way of wages, that
tae manufacturers would not have heen
abe to pay if it had not been for the
tariff, which secured them against
lulnons foreign comp tition. If che
DelhooratiC doctrine of free trade had
prevailed that money would have gone
% English manufacturers, instead Of
American wor &ingmen. Mr.. Bayard
Iaa accused him OF being in favor of
sle Tariff because 1t protected him In
as business, and he admitted the fact,
SQt DO claimed that it also benefited
MT Bayard, and not ouly him but the
snOle American people and they know
Mr. Bayar&, In that same speech had
snu the Republican party had put the
sA on matches, and 30 they did, but
SAen they done 1t, it was necessary to
v YAK almost everything to obtain
means to crush out the war that had
seen lnangurated and carried on by the
Senatcrs friends, but now they were
whipped, the necessity for its cOntinu-
nSe had ceased.
Inc Senator favored the tax on
l"tches because he said 1t did not cost
anS Sthlng TO collect it, and did not op-
pess anyone; still there are great
auuOer OF persons who feel that they
ae oppressed by it, anu when he as
