eARr1ELD's GREAT SPEECH.
His Address Nominating John Sher-
man for the Presidency.

man for the Presidency.
AS tribute from statesman and soldier
who has passed to the great hereafter we
print the speech delivered by James A. Gar
field at the Chicago convention in 1880.
nominating John Sherman for the presi-
dency.
Gen. Garfield said:
l have witnessed the extraordinary scenes
of this convention with deep solicitude
Nothing touches my heart more quickly
than tribute of honor to great and noble
character; but as sat In my seat I'd wit
messed this demonstration, this assemblage
seemed to me human ocean In tempest
| have Sc q the sea dashed into fury and
tossed into spray, and its grandeur moves
the soul of the dillest man; but remember
that it is not the pillows, but the calm level
of the sea from which all heights and depths
are measured.
When the storm has passed and the hour
of calm settles on the ocean, when the
sunlight Dathes its peaceful surface, then
the astronomer and surveyor take the level
from which they measure all terrestrial
heights aud depths.
Gentlemen of the convention, your
present temper may not mark the healthfnl
pulse of our people. When your enthu-
siasm has passed, when the emotions OF
this hour has subsidized, we shall find below
the storm and passion that calm level of
public opinion from which the thoughts OF
mighty people are to be measured, and
by which their final action will be de-
termined.
Not here, in this brilliant circle, where
Is, 600 men and women are gathered. is the
destiny OF the republic to be decreed for
the next II ur years; not here, where see
the enthusiastic faces of 756 delegates, wait
ing to cast their lots into the urn and deter
mine the choice of the republic, but by
four millions of Republican fresides, where
the thoughtful voters. With wives and chill
dren about them, with the calm thoughts In
spired by love of home and country, with the
history of the past. the hopes OF the future,
and reverence for the great men who have
adorned and blessed our nation in days
gone by, burning in their hearts-there
God prepares the verdict which Will deter
mine the wisdom Of our work to night
Not in Chicago, in the heat OF June, but at
the ballot boxes Of the republic In the quiet
of November, after the silence OF deliberate
Judgment, will this que stion be settled.
And now, gentlemen Of the convention,
what do we want?
TWENTY i've years ago this republic was
bearing and wearing triple chain OF
bondage. Long familiarity with traffic in
the bodies and souls Of men had psrslyzed
the consciences of majority of our people,
! the narrowing and disintegrating doctrine
of state sovereignty had shackled and
weakened the noblest and most benific eDt
powers of the national government, and
the grasping power OF slavery was selling
upon the virgin territories Of the west and
dragging them into the den Of eternal bond
age
born. 1t drew its fret inspiration from
that fire of liberty which God has lighted
in every human heart, and which all the
powers OF ignorance and tyranny can never
wholly extinguish. The Republican party

ticle now paying taxes could not be manu-
featured here, 1t should he placed On the
free list.
The object of the tariff laws was to en-
courage home manufacturers Ia competi-
tion with foreign rivals, as well as to go
cure revenue; aud, therefore, these laws
should be as permanent as possible. con
sistent with the needs Of the government.
American citizens were encouraged to in
vest their money in expensive machinery
and buildings; but they bad no special
privileges, no monopoly. All the world
might, in this country, enter into competi-
ton with them. The President, however,
seemed TO think that they we're public enc
mics. To chase away the successful manu-
facturer by a change of duties was to legis-
late for the foreigner and against the Ameri-
can citizen.
The most important benefits conferred
by the tariff laws was that they not only
diversified American industries, but secured
to the laborer employed In manufactures
higher wages and better surroundings aud
advantages than were enjoyed by iaborers
in similar employments anywhere Ia the
world. The treatment Of this question by
the President was
A DIFFUSION AND A SNARE.
The President assumed that the cost of living
ESPECIALLY of food aud clothing) was higher
in the United States than in Europe. That
was rot true. Food of every kind Except
sugar. was cheaper here than in any market
in Europe. The clothing worn by working
men fincIudipg blsnkets) was sold here at
as low prices as In London or Liverpool.
The quantity and quality OF food Of labor
ing men were confessedly better and greater
here than in Europe. and the rate OF wages
was from 50 to 100 per cent higher here.
The President did not dispute these points,
but appealed to the manufacturer (who had
been represented as robber. conspirator,
and extortioner) not to reduce the work
ingman's wages, but to pay more out OF
surplus profits-p profits very often found on
the wrong side of the ledger. What work
ingman did not feel that this was sheer
