estk OF that people. IL In source OF graft

large audience under the auspices OF IN,
young men. would much rather lcav,
this question TO the young mems clubs o.
the north than 10 the Golden club New
er have We had 4 presidential campaign Ii
which there are less Of politics than this
We are 70 decide In this contest whether
or not America shall own herself; whether
her markets shall belong to American
products or 10 European; whether thu
price OF American labor shall be measured
by the European standard or by the Amer
lean. IL Is, In fact, simply a home ques
ton, question OF the fireside and oil The
hearthstone. No question more import
ant can be presented 70 the American PEG
pie, or any people, than that OF the indus
trial relations Of that people. The par
allel running between. these. two dates
---ls60 and 1855 Is peculiar and very sug.
gestive. In the year 1880 an attack was
made BY the solid Sonth, aided and abet-
ted by large fraction OF the democratic
party In the North, against the political
system OF our country. To-day an attack
Il made by the same section OF the count
ny and by the same fraction Of the demo.
cratic party upon the industrial system OF
the country. know there were
many democrats who put on the blue,
stepped into the ranks OF the Union army,
and with high resolves declared that, come
what might and cost what 1t would, this
republic should not die. know that In
this early autumn there are thousands and
tens Of thousands OF democrats coming
aud mills, and with equally high resolves
are declaring thai American industries
shall be protected from harm, from what
ever source IL may come.
remember, as you remember, that IN
the year 1S60t the grandest democrat OF this
age declared that there could be but two
parties, patriots and traitors. SO we de-
clare In the early autumn of 1888 that In
this tremendous struggle there are no re-
publicans, no democrats, but we are either
free traders or .pr0tectiopists. remem-
Der that In December, 1860, Mr.. Buchanan.
then president OF the United States, sent a
message to Congress, In which he said
II can find nothing In the constitution
sovereign State" / remember, too. that
last December Grover Cleveland sent q
message to Congress, In which he declared
that the tariff law which went upon our
statute books In 1S60-6l, born out of the
necessities Of the republic, law that went
upon the statutes by the patriotism OF our
people, a law out of which this nation has
grown to its matchless prosperity say
that Grover Cleveland OF New
York declared In his message that this
law vicious, inequitable and Illogical.
But the comparison stops not here. NO
sooner had rebellion crystallized into
shape than England began to show sym
patty for the South Her privateers came
out upon our seas to harass. American
vessels. Confederate bonds were sold IN
English markets, British gold bought
powder and balls by which traitors for
four years stood knee deep In human gore
In Their attempt to shoot this nation TO
death. What did England do this for Sim
ply as a matter of business. She wonted
10 Qetc0ntrof Of our market. She knew that
here was for her success.
She knew that while plunging her beak
into the vitals OF this nation she would
grow rich and prosperous, and that our
disaster would inure to her benefit. Had
she any reason for this 7 Let us see. No
sooner had the Southern Confederacy
itself into;governmental form
han it incorporated into its constitution a
Tree trade plank, and IN order that may
De right, and that you may know what
he spirit is which lies behind the action
II to-day, let me read you something from
he constitution OF the Confederate Con-
yress. You will find II in section eight
The Congress shall have power to lay
md collect taxes, duties, impost and
excise, for revenue but no bounties shall
1e granted from the treasury, nor shall
my duties or taxes on importations from
oreign nations be laid to promote or fos-
er any branch OF industry, Ifthis is not q |
Of free trade, the English
language cannot express It, England
snew that If the South succeeded In the
contest, she would have ready and free |
ldmittance to our markets. How Is 1t to- |
iayt No sooner had Grover Cleveland |
ssled his message Of last December than |
III England lis on tiptoe with delight, |
md the London Spectator conveyed the
sentiment Of Its people when It de-
Jared that Grover Cleveland had done
more for free trade than any prime minis
er. But, my friends. l will drop that
Iubject by saying we will beat them now.
I Ell at the very threshold OF this canvass
he democrats say they are not free trad
RS, that the issue Ia not protection on the |
me side and free trade on the other, that
hey are simply revenue reformers. How
onR sincei Since the Oregon election,
,ince Oregon's 100000 Of sheep voted the
,epublican ticket, they are revenue re-
'Ormers. Lumber, wool and all the In
iustries OF Oregon have been TO the bal
OF box. and she gave 5000 majority, and
hey say we are not revenue reformers. II
he question, my fellow citizens, y not
between protection and free trade, why. IS

and every single free trade Journal

Now why IL II they have made this at
