of our secret societies, as well as all of our
political organizations. They are always
represented in our municipal goyer0ment

Now suppose all this was changed 10 the

that il the great question Of protection to
our home industries or IN other words the
fear that 'sfree trade" may be substituted for
it. II is the one great question that should
command the attention Of our people All
other considerations should sink out of sight.
It seems strange, while the advocates of pro-
lection are constantly growing stronger here,
that our people are weakening ON the matter
of protection. We certainly have reason 70
expect that free trade policy in our country
would do tor US what it has done for thls,aud

purchasing interest would bring irretrlevaole
disaster, and our great home market, almost
our only hope. would by its decay notably
mark the shortsightedness of our pretended
Statesman. What we want is more of the
practical and less of theory. 1t is results
that we want to know about. Ours is IN
Ioubtedly the most prosperous, the most
wonderful, and the most desirable country in
the world, and one in which one may live, if
he will, in perfect happiness; certainly it is
the only country where he has the opportu-
nity. | hope and believe it will be awake to
its interests and not let the whitening blight
Of free trade fall upon its fair face.

Wednesday evening seventy voters of
Irish blood living in Ward g, in Lawrence,
Mass, met and formed Blaine and Lo-
gan Club. No republicans were present
and no republicans were consulted. The
meeting was the result of mature deliber-
alton, and after the organization seventy
oil them appended their names to the roll,
pedging the signers to vote and labor for
the election of Blaine and Logan. The
pledge extends no further than the Pres-
dental ticket. The organization embraces
large part of the Irish-American resi-
dents of the ward who are held In esteem
for their Intelligence and worth.
