THE BUSINESS MEMS "ADDREss."
The following address was read to the
multitude and enthusiastically adopted:
meeting assembled, on the eve of an impor-
tnnt Presidential election, address them
selves TO their fclow.citizens as follows:
"First,,The question to which every clector
is asked to give careful and Intelligent
thought is whcther American industries and
honest toll shall be protected by the National
Government against the competition of FOR
eign cheap labor Upon this sub ect ono of the
great polite II parties has expressed Itself in
pos tive terms. and has placed in nom nation
gentlemen who have both the hral alns to formu-
late their views and the courage TO utter them;
while the other comforts itself alike upon the
ambiguity OF its confession of faith and the
enforced silence its chosen apostle.
"Secnn i-Apart from their platforms. the
position of the two political rartes has been
well asccrtainei by thor recent action in
Congress-. The Democratic rarty defeated
an avowed protectionist and elected pro
nouncea free-trnder to the Speakership. and
he promptly assigned another free-traier to
the Chnlr'nanship of the Ways AMI Means
Committee, who, in turn, introduced a free.
tr'fe measure which paraly2ed enterprise,
imnaired commercial and financial conf.
uence and uns tiled values, thus threatening
capital and labor alike. And but for the
courage ana wisdom of tho Republicans a
statute would have been enacted which
woull have neCe ssarily reduced the salaries
and wages of our employees, who have as
Sc nhlcd with us to-day to vouch their indig-
nation that their representatives should en-
courage foreign handler IT to the exclusion
of that of the American workman. lCheers.l
