and evidently not recovered from his
recent illness. but spoke distinctly and
vigorously. He said:

myself the pleasure of coming, If only
for the purpose of making my excuse
in person. and in addition to that of eX-
changing congratulations with this vast
assemblage of Republicans on the pros
poets of the Republican party through
out the Union, and to remind you that

a clipping from a recent ISSUE of the
London Morning Post. Well-knOWn
and prominent organ in England. the
organ of the late Lord PalmerstOn, an
influential paper advocating hitherto,
as all English papers do, the
DOCTRINE OF FREE TRADE.
The Post is getting little fatigued
with certain arguments of the free trad
erS; it does not believe all that is said
against the doctrine of protection, and
am sure | can Instruct You no more
PLEASANTLY than to ask my friend from
Brooklyn, Mr.. Tenny, to read from ali
editorial which L stall hand him from
the Morning Post. The editorial is as
follows:
But for The serious consequences entailed
upon our working classes, who feel every
day more and more the pinch OF foreign
competition, it would be decidedly amusing
to note how completely every one of the
principles ASST n I'd by the one sided free
trade school OF this country is ucgatiVed
by facts and falsifed by the experience of
commonplace business men. We are con-
stantly told protection raises the cost of com
modiues; that a hostile taFif-aS John
Bright said but few days back in published

tax which the community PAYS TO support
the particular industry benefited By it. As Il
matter of fact, what do we find in America:
Why their manufacturers can actually beat
us out of the field on the score OF mere cheap
ness only. SO far from protection enhancing
the cost Of their goods, they can turn them
out at rates with which we, with ali our free
trade, cannot manage to compete. The Yale
lock makers can afford to pay the carriage of
their goods 10 England and yet uudersel the
HOlYerham masters i'll the heart or the lock
trade, just as the Belgians can quote lower
rates for angle iron delivered i'll Derby than
the local iron masters of the Midlands The
Philadelphia engine makers can turn out as
SeTViceahle q locomotive as any English firm
and ship it all the way to New Zealand for
5000 less than the English tenders. In South
Russia the agricultural trade is said to be
passing into the hands of American export
ers, in spite of English and German com
DetitOTS though the latter are nearer by 8. 900
miles TO the local market. With The cXcep-
ton of made-up clothing, which is dear, be-
cause labor is high, and not because the duty
on SIuffS is SO heavy, there is not single
manufactured article produced in the United
States, from carpets TO cotton, from locOmo-
tiveS to steel axes, from agricultural impe-
ments TO cutlery and Yankee notions as
many little domestic appliances are called,
which is not as cheap, or even cheaper there
than in this contry.
That is most ,effectual contradiction
to the story which the free trade orators
have been telling us during the whole
campaign, that the people of the United
States are ground down by high prices.
1t is not so, and at last we get an En-
gliSh witness to admit, and | say here
there is not one article in the United
States to-day that is not far cheaper
than it was when protection was APP
piled to it-not one. And the argument
that is now closing between protection
and free trade is the argument which L
took pleasure in saying in the first
speech | made in the campaign. is not
Tor capital; it is for labor. 1t is not one
for capital; it is not one for the rich; it
Is one for the wage Garner. and il it is
lost. it is lost to the hurt of every man
in the United States who earns his
bread by the sweat of his brow. TAP

You are reading a good deal in Demo
cratic papers Just now as to Lord Sack

ADMINISTRATION want to show their indig-
nation for his intervention. 1t would
only take one word to recall him. What
they are doing is trying to get the En-
gliSh prime minister III London to recall
him. Three foreign ministers in the

has done in intervention with
our affairs, and Mr.. Bayard
or President Cleveland neither one OF
them q make that prediction to-day:
there is week left of the campaigm

Mr.. Phelps. the American minister in
London, as we get news over the cable,
is dining out at Hatfield with Lord Sal
iSbuTy, to see if Lord Salisbury will not
relieve Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Bayard
by recalling Lord Sackville. So that
we are not only to have the British min
lister intervening in our affairs, but we
are TO have the British premier in Lon
don decide whether he shall stay and
intervene some more.
THIS Is TIE SITUATION.
Now, my friends, it is very peculiar
situation. l observe that Patrick Col
Inns, of Boston, representative in con-
gress, in ali interview states that it is
very remarkable circumstance that
Murchison'S letter should have been
written Oh the Sd of September and
Lord Sackville's Oh the 18th, and that it
should have been published in New
York at an Irish meeting in Madison
square by me on the 25th of October.
Well The letter had been published
for four days, and Lord Sackville adj
mitted it, and Mr.. Bayard had three
times criticised it by saying that it was
