Not more than one-fourlh OF thes
officers occupied seats on the stage.
On taking the chair Mr.. big. ins wa
greeted with applause. He said that no
the least interesting feature of thi
struggle was that the first championship
of the principle Of protection 10 Amer
can industry came not from the north
but the south, and from that part Of tn
south known as the Border States. /
was Henry Clay Of Kentucky, who sal,
that the protective system was the AmeEi
can system. Forty-eight years ago

Virginia, hut now Of New York, who wa
received with q storm of applause an
cheers.
MIR, wIsE's SPEECH.
Mr.. Wise said That at the organizatio
Of this government two ideas struggle
for supremacy. One that the citizen wa
the resident Of one particular state, th
other that over all sections and all Cit
zens should spread the broad e&is Of til
union. The union idea triumphed at til
fall OF the confedeEscy, and Bince then
should not matter what state man hal
from, in the discussion OF the great q1e
tons that affect the government. vi
Rinia gave to the county George Wasl
ington, it's first President and John Ma
shall, its great chief justice. The timt
change and we change With them. Take Ii
question of tie tariff and you can ST
how things change, when Governor Vanci
who spoke here last week, favored prC
tective tRrif Aud the changes come s
quickly tina. he changed from free trad
10 protection between Washington au
Wilmington, ans bsck to free trade b,
tween here and New York. Daniel Wei
ster at first favored free lrgds and Jon
o. Calhoun favored protection BIT ufL,
the experience Of protective tarta Wei
ster became champion OF projection
while Calhoun yeered TO an advocate
free trade. Governor Vance in 1e5
WAS the great champion Of Rnownothia
