to be his constitutional privileges and
rights.

denounced as untrue the charge that the
democratic party was free trade party,
and declared that the Mills bill was the
embodiment of the democratic doctrine
of protection to the many and not of en-

Fellows of New York and Representative
Breckenridge of Kentucky. The hall did
