into power again. APPLAUSE l have too much
confidence in the virtue and intelligence Of the
American people to believeitpossible. Democrats
say wrought to profit by the example of England.
England is not free-trade nation. She never
will be. She will re establish her protective
tariff in less than two years from this Day. l
will tell you why. By her advances toward free
trade, and leaving portion of her manufactured
articles unprotected, she has absolutely reduced
her poor people to perfect pauperism, and there
is to-day more suffering, misery and distress in
England among the iaboring people than in any
other civilized country in the world She is
trying to induce us to adopt free trade and thus
make up off of u.s. England levies now almost one
hundred millions per year on the various arti-
eles coming into her ports. We raise tobacco in
this country If | take manufactured tobacco
to England she allows it to-enter her ports only
at high duty. Why2 Because it has been
manufactured in the United States. But if l
take the material there she allows it to en-
ter her ports at a small duty, because
her people can manufacture it, and
thus she protects the manufacturers of tobacco;
so, also, with coffee, spinning -cotton, carding-
wool, and divers other articles.

[ inclined to think that your devotion to
the Republican party has not abated. think
you know as we'll as can tell you what the Re
publican party has done but you do not all re-
member the fact perhaps that when the
party has been doing each one of these
grand things which in the aggregate amount to
so much in the history of the country, there
were two men who stood in the front rank, tax
ing all the hard blows that were struck, and
they were Blaine and Logan. [Applausel In
the very front rank of the men who were mar
shaded, in and out of Congress, to achieve these
grand trlumphs, and in direct opposition to and
in conflict with the men who are now seek
ing to defeat them, they were not

right than be President. [Great applause And
when he said yesterday that he

Ladiesand Gentlemen: Sitting here in the rear,

of people. / know, as you said, that they are
not half here yet; and there will be great
many more when that great leader Of the Re

Fellow citizens, you are confronted by the
same Democratic party to-day that has CON

mood to treat them now as it has treated them
periodically, by giving them a spanking and,put-
ting them in their little bed to sleep soundly for
another four years Great applause We
have put our candidates before the American
people, and it is for them to decide. We did not
go to Chicago to dodge, or shuttle or hide AWAY
the Republican record from the gaze of the
American people, and we put upfor the suffrages
of the people of this great country the man who
had been the leader among leaders an American
amongst Americans. We succeeded in doing
that, and associated with him on the ticket

try produced-Black Jack Logan The Demo
