son, Hale, Dolph, Pugh, Eustis and
Blodgett.
Al the close Of the morning business
Mr., sherman moved to take up the
Fisheries treaty. Mr.. Beck opposed the
motion on the ground that there should
be some time devoted to the calendar.
The motion was carried by q party
vote OF "a TO %, and Mr.. Rlddleberger
addressed the Senate in opposition to
the ratification OF the treaty:
Mr.. Riddleberger quoted from Sir
Charles Luppert's speech in the Cana
dian Parliament statement, which he
said had never been denied, to the effect
that MIR. Bayard had assured him that
| il the fisheries irritation were allayed,
there would be no obstacle to arranging
for A free interchange OF the national
products OF both countriesin accordance
with the policy OF the Democratic party.
That meant, said Mr.. Riddleberger, that
the fisheries treaty was intended TO lead
up to Free Trade. He arralgned the adj
ministration and the Democratic party,
which backed it, as a pro. English Or
panization, and he proceeded to read eX-
tracts from English periodicals to prove
that the Mills bill and the Presidents
messape we're in the direction OF Free
Trade: and that the Presidential cleo
toral contest was conflict between + rec
Trade and Protection and nothing else.
He read an extract from the speech OF
Mr.. S. S. Cox, in the House, speaking OF
Protectionists as robbers, rascals and
plunderers and said he was not surprised
ut that sentiment when he read book
published by the same gentleman many
years ago entitled, "The Buckeye
Abroad" in which such sentences as
these occurred: ,
"Old England-God bless her. With
tears in my eyes, l beseech heavens
best benison upon her. lremember her
only as the land OF noble deeds and gen.
eroi,s hearts"

Free Trade Democracy was. He knew
that Mr.. Cox in debates in the House of
Penresrntatives had pleaded the "baby
