emotional sentiment, that this is the
"home of the free; the land of the op-

migration had continued for twelve
years before the people OF this coast
objected to it, and it required time to
educate the people of the East up to
our way of thinking. The Democrats
in the South had had 200 years expert
ence with an inferior race, and were
ready to oppose Chinese immigration.
He predicted that there never will be
equality between people of different
races-one will dominate. He was in
Chicago at the last National Conven-
ton, and helped draw the plank oppos
ing Chinese immigration. Mr.. Hoar
objected, but he insisted that nine.
tenths of the people of this coast are
opposed to Chinese.

The Senator took strong grounds in
favor of a high tariff. He argued that
agricultural communities never attain
high rank intellectually, and are less
prosperous financially than manufactur.
ing communities. He would build the
wall of protection so high that it would
exclude the importation of all articles
manufactured by the pauper labor OF
Europe. He said the tariff led to in
ventions which lightened the labors OF
the people, and he thought the time
would come when no person would
have to work more than few hours
day to support himself and family COM
fortably. In agricultural districts there
are no inventors, comparatively speak
ing, while in manufacturing districts
the average is one in 700 Of the popula-
ton. Before a tariff was placed on
wool, it was nearly all imported; now,
four ffths of what is used in the United
States is produced at home, and the
one-fifth that is imported is of the
poorest quality, used for carpets, and
such an inferior article that civilized
people would not attempt to produce it.
MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS.
The Senator alluded to the famous
McSwoeney case, and said Mr.. Blaine
and our Government was not to blame
for his imprisonment. He also read
some letters from MIR. Blaine regard.

also relating 20 the Panama Canal and
other subjects of international note.
He claimed that whatever party is in
power the Government should protect
it's citizens, and no did not charge the
Democratic party with being less patri'
otto in this respect than the Rspublis
can party.
He paid tribute to the bravery of
the South, aud he did not believe that
1900, 900 people ever Intentionally did
wrong, but the South made a mistake.
Mr.. A. Kleinhans asked the Senator
how il IS that Butler pictured the coun-
try as being anything but prosperous,
with men out of employment, etc., not
withstanding the tariff, while Blaine
saw it through glasses of another color.
The Senator answered that the waves
of the ocean rise and fall, but did not
change the general level of the water,
and explained at some length the cause
of the business depression East, and
closed by thanking the people of Hum
boldt for favors always shown him.
During the two hours and over
which he spoke he was listened to with
marked attention, save when inter-
rupted by applause. He is forcihle

has the faculty-not very common among
public speakers--of not offending anyof
his hearers. There is another similari-
ty between our Senator and Represent
alive in this campaign. and that is. each
is stronger than his party, fact which
is apparent to all who heard both gentle
men speak. At the close Of the speak.
