After the procession had passed to Hart

1000 people assembled at Luce's Hall to

The house was called TO order By VIM.
Alden Smith, who said that one pleasure of
the campaign work was that we ealways get
something good from New England. She
always sends to Michigan some Of the best
speakers of the country in every campaign.
This evening one of Nermonts most fay
ored sons will explain the principles OF Re-
publicanism to you. / have the pleasure
of introducing to you Hon. Frank PiuRley,
of Vermont.
Mr.. Plumley was received with a round
of cheers and applause which shook the
very walls of the ancient structure. He
said; ladies and gentlemen, i am sorry
thar you are obliged TO come from Hart
mans Hall to this place 10 listen to me
when you would so much rather listen to
the distinguished Republican who is speak
ing there. l tell you there is great differ
ence between nice fresh tender sirloin steak
and pork and beans. lLaughter.l
The monster procession which / have
witnessed in this city this evening augur,
"A
party in November next. l am glad that
an here tonight. 1t has always been my
wish to make this beautiful city a visit.
Our friends or foes. those on the other
side, say that the tariff is q tax. an exces-
sive tax, and with this false cry are trying
TO dissuade the American voter from that
W hich Is true and right.
The Republican party is the representa-
tive of every good deed and law of our
country. Let US 60 back to the first Con-
grsss that met under the Constitutions let
US lift the veil and look At those martial
men who had placed their bodies q living
sacrifice for the freedom of our country
aud you will see that one of the first laws
which they saw was necessary to the
prosperity of the country was q protective
tariff. This bill was signed by the Father
OF His country, by Jefferson. by Hamilton
Jefferson was a protectlOnist and if there is
is anything that Democrat glories In il Is
that ne is a follower oi Jefferson, next to a
Jefferson Democrat is Jackson Democrat
and Jackson was a prOtectionist. be said
we should get rid Of English merchants. we
should get more AmericaniZsd. we should
feed our own lsbOrers instead of European
laborers How much this falls in with the
very words of Republicanism today. If
you are q Jefferson Democrat you are q
pFotectiOnist.
The free trader stands and saws
that this industry or that industry
can be DESTROYED without injzry to the
country" he then drew an excellent
smile from ths cutting of q strand Of the
suspension bridge at NIagars, the whole is
so interviewer that the cutting of a single
strsud would weaken the entire structure
1T makes no difference whether it is the
Industry Of the manufacturer, or OF the
WOO grower, or Of the fruit grower of Cali
foruis which Is cut there will be . weaken
ing Of TIE whole structure.
