MIR. CARLISLE SPEAKS.
Mr.. Carlisle. in his speech, said:
The secretary of the treasury, in the specch 10
"hiohyou have just listened has made such clear
ana satisfactory statement concerning the conduct of
your financial affairs during the present administra
ton on all disputed points, at least that there is
nothing left for me to say upon the subject and
shall, therefore, in my remarks call your attention
briefly to one or two other matters which, in my
opinion, the people of the whole country ought to
take into serious consideration in this campaign
secretary Fairchild has spoken of the intimate
business relations existing between people in yari-
Gus parts Of the country and of the dependence of
each local community for its own prosperity upon
the prosperity of ali the Others think this is the
case now to a greater extent than ever before in
our history. One of the most beneficial results of
the last presidential election was the establishment
OF harmonious relations-socal. political and COM
mercial-between the people Of the north and SOUTH
Iho social and commecial intercourse between tho
people OF these two sections has never been
so close and intimate as it is now. The union
otsates was never strong it is today and 1t is
strong because the people everywhere feel that they
are once more citizens of free governmental gov
eminent which will treat them justly and fairly
The north has never had so good market i'll the
south for its products as 1t has now and the south
has never had the use of so much northern capital
as 1t has now 1t is not too much to say that if the
policy which hos largely conduced to produce these
beneficial results shall be continued four years
longer it will be impossible for any political party to
secure power by appealing to the prejudces of one
section OF the country of people against
another section or another race.
believe If there no other reason for the re-
election of Grover Cleveland president of the United
States, the fact that his administration has inaugu-
rated an era of good will between the different sec
tons aud different races would be amply sufficient
That it is the deliberate purpose of the
leaders OF he republican party to reopen
the sectional and race agitation which was
alayed by the election of Mr. Cleyelend must be
apparent TO every one, who properly considers the
present situation. Already bills and resolutions
which mnst eventually have this effect have been
introduced into the republican senate and their
passageis earnestly urged by gentlemen whose
counsel have q controlling influence with their
party. Sectional agitation and strife necessarily
means business depression TO greater or less ex-
ent. since the Inauguration of the democratic ad-
ministration the people of the county have been
at peace with each other and the OF business
III ShViS sSSt4oH DeSA regular anu prosperous.
Capital from the north has found profitable fields
fornvestment in the SOUTH and the earnings of the
south have been freely expended in the purchase
OF the products of the north. Aided by northern
investment and northern experience aud Skill rail-
roads have been constructed; mines have been
opened and developed manufacturing enterprises
have been set on foot, In nearly every quarter of
the SOUTH and all these great enterprises are -four
ishing under the peaceful and fraternal policy
which now prevails. Can any substantial interest
of the people either north SOUTH be promoted by
reyersal of this policy, and will not the revival of
controversies at once impair the security if it does
not absolutely destroy the profits OF capital invested
in southern parts of the country
Such controversy not only exc!tes tie people of
one section against the people of another but 1t
ferments discord among those who live together in
the same section 1t discourages capital and de-
nlorazes labor; 1t impGirs the prosperity of both
sections
Iappe6i, therefore. not to the selfish mercenary
spirit of the business of New York but to their
treason and their patriotism to unite in securing
the country the continuance of the wise and just
policy on this subject, policy which will cement
the union of the States promote the prosperity of
the people, and guarantee the equality Of all cti-'
zens under the law.
