that he shall be clothed, and therefore,
that public policy, that craftsmanship
is the highest and best that attends to
the. primal needs of human nature first,
and says: Here is bread for the hungry,
here is clothing for the naked. and
the tariff which protects the American
laborer IN his wages, the American
capitalist in his investments, the inven-
tive talent of the country in its enter
prise, is the issue which lies at the very
foundation of the prosperity of the
American people, and the very founda-
ton of the success of the Christian re-
ligion. When you send out your mis-
sionaries to destitute places, you
clothe the little naked children
and give them food at the first
step; therefore, Il repeat that the great
conflict of 1884 closes with the people OF
the United States standing face to face
in two parties, saying whether they will
adhere to that policy of protection
which has trebled the wealth of the
United States in twenty years, or
whether they will abandon it and return
trade. ("NeYer! NeverP0 1t involves
other issues too. No nation can
grow so powerful as the United
States has grown and is grow
ing, without continually charging
its relations with other nations. As
these relations become so enlarged, they
become complicated, and therefore the
foreign policy of the United: States goes
right along with its domestic policy,
supplements and compliments it, and
we cannot, in any affair of our destiny
and our people, separate one from the
other. Now, gentlemen of the church,
l address an earnest word to you. The
policy of the United States in the past
and in the future must be one of broad,
liberal Christian principles, and III that
/ policy it must be one, in my Judgment,
which draws nearer within the SYM
pathies of the United States those other
struggling republics of North and South
America, which bring them first into
trade relations and then into
close personal and moral rela-
tons, and 1 believe that we
shall not only have that great gain that
comes from intercourse, but we shall
/ enlarge the civilization of the Anglo
| Saxon until its limit shall include the
most southern point of the continent.
l did not intend, in accepting and ac-
! knowledging the great sense OF obllga-
ton I feel for this honor, to go into a
prolonged political speech. l have but
indicated two leading points, which
think are involved in the pending cleo
ton. 1t only remains for me to say to
you, that I recognize at its full worth
and its full worth is very great, the
meaning of this assemblage. We have
no union of church and State, but Wa
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 go forward
as we have gone, the State
growing and strengthening by the ex
ample of the church and the church
growing and strengthening by liberia
cooperation with all the great reforms
which it is the immediate province o.
the government to go forward and I'M
prove. Gentlemen, thank you again
, and bid you very cordial good morn
