ssWe claim to be body of men who ask
nothing for ourselves and only seek the good
of the government and wise policy. / am
desired by my friends, who sur
round me, to say 1t is their
most emphatic conviction that the question TO
be decided in the coming presidential elec
ton which dominates all others, is, that shall
the American idea of tariff for protection of
American labor and industries be maintained
as settled policy Of the United States. We
claim this is the only question now worthy
discussion. We pledge to you, sir, the hearty
support of an overwhelming majority of this
| club. II there should be small remnant
| OF our members who desert the party on
election day, it viii be only they who live by
free trade.
Mr.. Blaine responded as follows:
Gentlemen Of the Union League club, ]

to express the deep obligation feel for the
courtesy you have shown me by this call. The

one who has followed our national
progress for the past quarter
of century can be fnsensible
of the great aid which your organization
