habit and hope it will remain our habit
TO the end of time. Loud applause. 1
simply call attention to these matters to
show you that President Cleveland, when
he said that the only vital question
before the country was tariff reduction,
previously mistook the temper of the
American people. We have other things
to think Of besides the tariff, although
that is the most important question. We
have to uphold and maintain the dignity
of our flag, to extend our commerce, and
to protect our citizens who go aoroad on
lawful missions. All these things are In
the programme of the republican party,
all these things the republican party has
pledged itself to uphold. Cheers.
In the convention which is approach
ing,
Our STANDARD BEARER
will be chosen and he will stand on that
broad platform of American nationality
and American progress; he will lead US on
against this new line of battle, not gar
nisheo in smoke and flame, but rather
wrapped around with free wool and
armed with cotton balls. We will have
to meet this army, gentlemen, all of US,
at the polls next November, and we
must be prepared then, as we'll as we
were in the contest OF the rebellion, to
suboue the foe that is marching steadily
upon Us. Let the industries of America
be preserved, the prosperity that has
been given TO Us by perhaps the wisest
statesman this nation has known, not
to be surrendered without struggle
worthy of the American people. 1 can
not believe that the leaders OF free trade
can succeed in this wild crusade against
American industries. I am glad to be
able to state that l have received SO
decided an answer to that question
from the assembled representatives of
the republicans OF Wisconsin. APP
plause.
Gentlemen, let US march ahead on that
old road to victory sc familiar to US, and
though the battle flags are furled, and
though many of our grand old chiefs
sleep bereath American earth, which has
wrapped them fondly in It's embrace, still
there are left men sufficient to guide us
yet to as grand
as they have ever wrested from foe.
Cheers. And let US, grasping up the
old national banner, standing npon this
broad and magnificent platform, pro-
claim to the men of all nations that
America welcomes to her shores by viz
tue of her own prosperity, by virtue of
the freedom she gives the workingman
and the secerity she gives the employer,
all that is best in the old world; that she
is not afraid OF the demo ,racy of Europe.
that the best blood of the old world has
been shed, with American blood, to main
tain our freedom and prosperity and to
gain the liberty that has smiled for a
hundred and twelve long and glorious
years over this land of freedom and will
smile down again upon Us as the re-
joicing beams of the setting sun rest
upon the flag of the stars and stripes
floating aloft and proclaiming that once
more the wisdom of the American people
has trampled beneath their feet the in
siduous foes that in peace as we'll as in
war would seek to mar our glory and de-
stroy our prosperity. CONTINUED ap-

BISMARCK, Oak, March 24.-The Mis-
souri, river gorge at Washburn broke this
morning and the river is rising rapidly
at this point. Everything has been placed
in readiness for food but 10 danger to

great danger is at Sibley Island where the
the most disastrous gorges of the past
have formed. The flood must soon be at
its height.

Does Mr.. Cleveland take the American
people for idiots? They look around
and see a country
PROSPEROUS FROM END TO END,
here and there, indeed, marred by few
conflicts between capital and labor, not
the result of protection, not the result of
misgovernment, but simply the desire on
one side perhaps of too much gain, and
on the other perhaps occasionally hasti-
ness to misjudge men who are large en-
ployers. But those questions can be
disposed of by the exercise of the ballot
and without sweeping revenue reduc-
tions, and the precursors of free trade.
