European powers that have better navieS
than the United States. Even the China
men with one of their two great war ships
can come up to within ten miles of New
York and anchor there and lombard the
town, and there is no navy to prevent
them. The American navy has been used
as an election machine for paying Repub-
lican election expenses. When Malone
was king in Virginia, vessel was sent to
Norfolk for repairs. 1t took eight
years and seven months and 5000 900 ex-
penditure to repair her. (Applause.) An
other ship was sent to California to repair
and it took twelve years and seven months
to finish the job at an expenditure Of
5000 900. That was the way the Republi-
cans ran a political navy.
FREE TRADE.
1 understand there is gentleman here
to day to speak, to say that we are ''free
traders" They would like to make the
people believe that you are free traders.
They are the free traders themselves
There are seven millions of men engaged
in labor on the farms in the United States
and Republican Congress passed Law
admitting contract labor from abroad to
compete with the American farm labor.
That was free trade. You have great
iron ore interest here and the Republicans
of the Eastern States are clamoring for
free raw material. That is free trade!
James G. Blaine said in Maine that he had
voted for free coal, some more free trade.
Under the present Republican tariff the
duty on coal is rs cents ton. But the
shipper can bring it from abroad and the
government allows him rs cents rebate.
How is that for free trade? The Repub-
1ican tariff admits free all the hard woods

MISCELLANEOUS
after DINNER:

Persons who suffer from Indigestion
can arrest the progress of that painful
pill, so composed that it will give tone
to the stomach, prevent heartburn, rouse
the liver to healthful action, invigorate
the kidneys, and thus, through the activity
of these organs, promote the natural
movement of the stomach and bowels.
AYERS PILLS are SO compounded that
their action, though mild, effectuaIly pro-
duces the above results. They also, in
curing Constipation, remove the cause of
Biliousness, Liver Complaint, Kidney Dis
ease, Rheumatism. and many other serious
ailments.

 It is spring again, the sweet May sunlight steals in at the window as 1 write, and l hear the turtle dove down in the distant wood.
