here IN time for dipuer. Afterwards they
addressed 3 DE nocrslic meeting, Judge
Thurman being The first speaker. He said
be would not make Any extended speech
upon The tarid. for one reason because Speaker
Carlisle. an expert upon this subject, was 70
follow him. and for another reason De
cause the tariff has been under discussion
for about twelve months, and Mr.. thurman
said I think I may say 10 every man who "
willing 10 open his ears b he ruth That IN
this long discussion The Democratic speakers
have had victory on their side [great cheer
ingl and that our opponents feel this 90 be
so u very evident. 10 seems % me, from
several circumstances 10 which VIII
now refer. II they did not believe that
The argument on this question OF the taril
was on the Democratic side, why IN the
world did they try and invent snother
issue 20 talk about? Why did they reject
The fisheries treaty ard sticmpt to make OUT
that the President Of The United states had
not stood up in both 10 = manly manner Tor
the interest Of the people OF TIE CoHed
States? why did they do ~ Gentlemen,
there is 4 yay Of testing how sincere they
were uDou that subject. The President me-
gotaied the treaty In regard 10 the fisheries
He sent il to the 6enste 81 the United
States; tor 4 treaty cannot become bind
ing until il j. confirmed or ratified,
&c Il il called by the Senate. He sent 1t
10 the senaie. and they rejected Il. They
would not have 4. They gave BIN to un.
dcrstand they would have no treaty NJ all
upon that subject. What did that mean 3!
Now, when YOU arc IN dispute with q foreign
Power YOU must settle it pe0cfably oy q
treaty or By ANONYMOUSLY backing down,
or you must, II you reject both these
methods, then settle 10 by arms. There
Is 70 other way 20 DO. They
must noro,iate and agree or back
down or fight. Vol, the Senate did not
cav "bIck out not they. On the contrary
they clamOrcd and clsmOred about The Pfesi-
dent not standing up for the rights Of
America, although no man could show
wherein hc had in any particular surrendered
those rights. They nd not say " negotiate,
for they rejected tn tray. Now, IL that
treaty were NOT a good treaty, Che Senate has
mower 10 amend Il. IL they wanted 20 treat.
If thew wanted TO preserve peace
with Great Britain. II they wanted
II have peace on an our borders and
thought that tho treaty needed amending,
WHY IN ihe name Of Heaven didn't they
amend it? 1Great cheering.l they would
not amend the crossing 81 a "t' or She doi-
ting OF an "i,' but they s'ernly. md with
coutamely l might say, rejected TOE treaty.
what. then, was the President 10 dof They
had told him by their action We will have
no treaty" That is what they had told hin
by Their actiou: I'VE won't back down a
peg" ~ tho tresty they did not make
us back down q peg, and so ihey too
him ia substance that the time h1d
come when we must resort to value
measures 10 defend American righi..
The President took them ~ their word.
- scnt a message 90 them, and remarked,
90 As you are iu 2 fighting mood ~ 10 nnt
Use hts hnguagc. but J give the substance
