Justice liraden, OF Canton, next
spoke. The audience showed him
marked respect We also esteem him
but he 10 too truly Justice 10 talk
Protection. With due regard for him
We give You u few gems from his
speech: "There has got 10 be q tarlll
10 pay the expenses OF the Government
! But when We come 20 talk Protection
the trouble begins" That Is true
England In the past kept out every
thing, and ruined Ireland by keeping

Protection 10 doing for the Americans
Here he offered an illustration 10 show
how the merchants OF Canton are pro
tected by the yender's license, He then
said: "This is Projections only extend
II, that Is all. But II the poor lady IN
Canton can save i've cents by buying

grew out Of the war; wages, taxts and
prices reached an abnormal condition,

aud they are simply coming down." All
right bring down the war taxes In pro-
portion 10 the wages and we will not
kick Speaking Of pension vetoes, he
said, "Our President has vetoed more
pensions than any OF his predecessors,
but the opposition will say he has
granted more. He has, but they were
not presented 10 the other preSidents,'
What In the name of common sense
were these Republicans doing all these
twenty yearsY Why did they not pre-
sent themY
After the speakers finished the Ber
