Charles H. Treat was introduced to
the audience by Chairman Guthrie After
ez pressing his great pleasure at being in
vited to address the people of New Cas-
tie, he said the question they were to
consider was whether the surplus money
was to remain in the United States treas
ury. Mr.. Treat said that-the Republican
party had always been the friend
Of the laborer and that it was
through it that the United States
holds its present position in the world.
He compared the pauper labor and degre
dation of England to the labor of this
country. He spoke of the loyalty of the
Irish citizens of this country and said
they were beginning to see which was
the party that benefited them most and
that they were coming to see the differ
ence between free trade and protection.
Mr.. Treat expects to see the Democratic
party converted from free trade to pro
lection in less than twenty live years. He
gave many illustrations of the wages paid
the laborer and the prices received for
goods in Delaware in the old Democratic
times. and the advance on both during
the present era Of Republican ascendency.
He read from an old almanac Of the time
OF William Henry Harrison. the platform
Of the Republican party of that time. Mr..
Treat then read the false accusations made
against him through the Every Evening
on last Wednesday, and fully explained
the falsity and absurdity Of each charge.
The audience was very much pleased
with Mr.. Treats address and appiauded
him heartily. After his speech the band
played Columbia, the Gem Of the
Ocean. Edward Challenger then read a
letter from William c. Spruance ESQ,
stating that he was unable to be present
on account OF serious but not dangerous
illness. His place was filed bv Anthony
Higgins, Esq. who made thirty minute
speech, talking on the iron question
Colonel John f. Dunn of Wilmington

tion by the band the meeting closed.
