 Hon. J. s. c. Blackburn, of Kentucky, was then amid stormy applause introduced He ppefacsd his remarks by saying that he had come 8 thousand miles from where they preach the same political faith to ad- dress them upon Americas surrender of the seas to England. He said it was well known our great commercial marine has disappeared and it should be declared by congressional action that American workmen should have even terms with their foreign com petitors. It had been said that the war destroyed our commerce.. He de- nied it. No people could bet. commercial without 8 commerce and the protection theory was that people had no right to trade. If so they needed no shops. To-day.we are ignored and almost despised abroad on &C., count of the legislation carried out by the party in power, which was contrary to the idea that if we would buy We must sell. Af- ter referring to the fraud of 1876 the speaker urged harmony and unity as to the coming candidate He himself cared not whether the candidate be the old standard bearer from New York (great cheers) or the can didate from any other State so long as the party were united. He concluded by saying that though not a free-tradsr, he favored bring ging about by gradual processes a state of affairs most beneficial to all interests.
 Hon. Frank Hurd, of Ohio, next spoke upon ''America's protective policy" He referred to the defeat of the Mor- rison bill, saying it was done by forty one misguided Democrats voting with the Republicans. The issue he said is whether the present Republican tariff shall be con- tinued or whether judicious reform shall take place. He denied the governments right to support one man at another's eK- pense. Any man had right to buy in the cheapest aud sell in the highest market he could find. If they wanted to protect lab 1T put a duty on labor, but he was not know nothing and did not wish such duty. It was not the tariff that made American wages high and he was opposed to making contracts with foreign labor by which the American labor was revived.
