peat that the great conflict of 1884
closes with the people of the United
States standing face 10 face in two
parties, saying whether they will ad-
here 10 that policy Of protection, which
has treblcd the wealth Of the United
States in twenty years. or whether they
will abandon ID and return ouoe more to
the failing theory Of free trade.

States has grown. and In growing
without continually enlareing its re-
Iations with other nations. As these
relations become 20 enlarged they be-
some complicated. and therefore the
foreign policy of the United States goes
right along with It's domestic policy,
10 and compliments il
and we cannot In any affair OF our des-
tiny and our policy separate the one
from the other. Now, gentlemen of the
church, | address an earnest word 20
you. The policy of the United States
in the past and In the future must be
one of bread, liberal, Christian priuci-
pies. and In that policy IL must be one
in my Judgment which draws nearer
within the circle of sympathies of she
United States these other struggling
Republics Of North and South America.
Bring them first into trade relations.
and then into close personal and moral
relations, and | believe we shall not
oniy have that great gain that comes
from Intercourse, but we shall enlarge
the civilization Of the Anglo Saxon until
It's limit shall include the most southern
point of the continent.

you that recognize at its full worth,

meaning OF this assemblagc. We have
no union of church and state, but we
have proved that the church Is stronger
without the state, and We have proved
that no state can be strong without the
church. Let us 90 forward as We have
gone. the state growing aud strengthen.

the church growing and strengthening
by liberal cooperation with all the great
reforms which IL 10 the immediate prov
