Pray tell me where and whence came this de-
mand for free wools It is said the Democratic
party is act ng in the interest OF England and
that we desire to subserve the interest Of En-
glish manufacturers. I deny the statement.
Why. the first demand of late years that came
for free wool came from a convention or gath
ering OF wooden manufacturers themselves,
held in this country, wherein they discussed
their interests and unanimously resolved to
petition Congress to put wool upon the free
list believing it would sueserve the interests of
the manufacturers themselves. tApplause.l
The Democratic party, in acceding to their
request is endeavoring to do some
thing for the WOODEN manufacturers Of
subserve the interest of foreign manu-
facturers. What did they says OF the
go. 100000 pounds OF wool used in this
country, and necessary to be used, only 300,.
Half OF it nearly came from abroad and
necessarily comes from abroad. Some of it
is OF different quality from that used In this
country, and these manufacturers said
English manufacturers get their woods
from Scotland, and get them from Australia.

can not, however, get Australian wool, except
by payment OF duty, and we, therefore, can
not compete with English manufacturers. For
the purpose of getting relief from this unfair
and unjust competition they petitioned Con-
gress for the placing of wool upon the free
list

newspapers forged extracts from English pa

them have been shown to be torgeries, and it
can be proven that they are all forgeries.
Talk about President Cleveland being friend

message than the one in December last, in which
he asked that Congress should give him the
necessary powers to enable him to retaliate in
behalf of the rights of American fisheries and
the rights of American citizenship. tApplause.l
And this cowardly Republican Senate refused
to give him this reasonable and proper power

The speaker proceeded at great length
to demonstrate that the Democratic party
was not engaged in a crusade to reduce the
wages of the working people. He referred
to the fact that the first anti-Chinese bill
passed by Democratic votes was vetoed by
the last Republican President of the
United States, and that the Scott bill,
passed without moments hesitation by a
Democratic House, was passed by the Re-
publican Senate only with extreme lie
luctance. In his judgment, nothing bu.
the exigencies of this campaign and the
record of some Of their candidates induced
them to pass it The conclusion of his ad-
dress, which was listened to with the
closest attention, was greeted with great
