day at South Bend, Ind. The first stop this
morning was al Ann Arbor, where there was
very large crowd around the depot. But the
students of the University seemed TO have taken
possession of the place, and when Blaine APP
peared their cheering and yelling were so hearty
and so long continued that they seemed likely
to occupy the whole time the train could re-
main at Ann Arbor. All attempts of the local
committeeman to get hearing were utter fail

Immediately subsidized. He said:
During the war we used to hear a great deal
about the rebel yell,' which was supposed to
imply great vigor and determination, but it
seems to me that the young men who do me the
honor to appear here to day could have terrified
the whole army OF Lee. But am glad TO hear

constantly recruited the Republican party.
| wild cheering What We lose from desertion
and disappointment and dissatisfaction on the
part of the elders is far more than made up
yea, ten-fold made up, by the young men of the
country who are just coming into action. lGreat
cheering. Not only that, a proportion which
holds good for young men OF all classes, but we

Gated young men of this country. | wish to
| leave with these young collegians a problem in
relation to one of the great industrial issues of

college youth who are fro. TRADERS at 20 become
protectionists at 40 [LalS hter and cheers.l I

at 40 they have taken their degree in the univer

Il am glad to meet you, not merely as those

men who are the pride and hope of the country.

| is every day more and more placed in debt to
| his country, and that just i'll proportion as he
! progresses in knowledge and wisdom, just in
| that proportion will he be expected to pay back
! in patriotic labor the couRtry which nurtured

tunity, to n harvest that is ripe for the reaper,
| into a field continually expanding. You go
| forth. each of you with just as good a chance
| in life as any other man has, and you go with
| the added opportunities which education gives.
| l commend to-you your responsibilities for the
| responsibilities of an educated American are
| higher, deeper, and broader and greater than
| those of an educated man in any other land,
and just in proportion as your opportunities are
| greater will you be held to account in this life
| and the life which is TO come Great and pro-
longed cheering.
