evince her Friendship and affection. He
declared, empHatieally, that England bad
never in orc single instance evipoed any
sympathy for this country, and that she
never had permitted ~ opportunity 80 in-
.jure this country to pass unimproyed.
One of the leading free trade speakers in
England had declared years ago that the
greatest triumph of Great Britain would
be the subjugatiOn Of the markets Of the
United States. In the promise of the
presidents message they could see that
subiugatiOn was at hand. Great Britain
today had her market open TO the world,
while other countries had their
markets partially closed to her.
She found no way within her own Dor
ders but the tieTCest kind of competition
and her industries were falling off. Her
eilk industry fer Instance had been sathtSsS;Ss
lutely destroyed. Hnr agricultural lands
were decreasing in value and from one
third TO One-half of her agricultural Ia
borers were out Of employment, while
those who had employment only earned
from a shilling to n and six pence a day
But England heard the president of the
United States declare that the tariff lthe
only obstacle to English possession of the
American market) was vicious, illogical,
and what wonder that the English
people deafened their ears with
their cries of "Hear! Heart" But
the attitude of the democratic
party was Of more importance practically
than the attitude of Great Britain. Would
the democratic party endorse their new
chief? He was strongly inclined TO think
that it would. lie knew that members Of
that party" had been masquerading for
years as refern!e:s, f&%T0Iiug "iarim iur rev
enue only" and why should not the party
so think3
The controlling element of the demo
cratic party had been always in the south
and the southern wing of the democratic
party controlled Il today as powerfully and
completely as it did before the rebellion
when it compelled the party into the
championship of slavery. There was not
the slightest doubt as to the attitude
of the south on this question.
When the south went into rebellion IL de
elagea IL the confederate constitution that
no bounty should ever be granted from the
treasury nor any law be enacted to foster
or encourage any branch Of industry
whatever. That had been the solemn de-
claration Of southern democrats, and they
believed now as they believed then. He
was satisfied that all the democratic
leaders agreed with the president, except
that they had not the presidents bOldness
or honesty. If, however, by cheating the
people In the next election as to their
position they could get a new lease Of
power, and obtain control of the United
States senate, then the people might
bid farewell TO every principle
OF protection. The republicans took up
the presidents gauntlet Of free trade with
great pleasure and joined issue with the
democrats. The republicans declared
that instead of the tariff icing vicious and
illogical, 1t increased mar9elously the
prosperity of this country and that instead
of a duty being tax paid by the con-
sumner, no instance could be found in
which the duty had not decreased to the
consumer the cost Of the article consumed.
The republicans further declared that the
future prosperity Of this cOuntry-for
twenty-five years at any rate-depended.

AS to the surplus il was democratic in

first place. Some Of it ought to be ex
pended wisely in coast defenses, in. in
