 He then answered the argument of over- production by saying that last year we bought $450, ,060, 900 worth of foreign goods.

Why, he would put an extra rail on the fence, wouldn't hei Now, we have great American pasture and this is fenced in by the tariff. Yet there is a restless bull on the ocean; Qaughter.) I needn't say John Bull, for you all know him; and this Bull wants to get over our tariff fence. Gentlemen, it remains with the American ballot whether he does or not.
 Why, we have land so richly stored with every material to feed nations life that believe if we lived 10, 900 years, we wouldn't need to go outside of America to procure the Rscessaries of life.

 it for everything that Q nation should be proud of. have also travelled through the West, the garden of God, as it were, for
 believe there is no land to equal it in riches. Now you send your manufactures to the mar kets of the West, to one grand part of our own people, and why should you then desire to supply the markets of the worldl Well, I say to my Democratic friends, why don't you take the markets of the world if you want them. Take your products to England for you can't get over the fences of France, Germany and Russia. But England don't want our goods. Well, then, to South America. We can not do it, for where the countries of Europe pay sixty-five cents day we pay three dollars for labor. We can't compete with them and we don't want to. Just as soon as working men consent to work for sixty-fve cents ! A. al av.I England, but not before.

 What brings the Irishmen here2 The peo- pie of that country have struggled since 1169 in continual bloody protest from every generation against the tyranny of England. If our country was free we would be proud of it, but we couldn't love it more than now, and yet we leave 1t. Whyi have suffered for my country in English jails and this is the very prime of knighthood. You know about one hundred and six years ago we had an Irish parliment in Ireland, led by such men as Fitzgerald. Let me tell the truth. There wasn't man there but that was 6 patriot. What did they doi They first of all laid @ tariff fence around the emerald isle Gentlemen, there's one thing that we Irishmeu weren't indebted to Americans for.

O God, it Was as that grand English poet Lord Byron said, 6 union of the shark with it's victim. The duties between this country and the rest of the world were abolished and the land handed to the 1niseries of free trade. It took just four years, till 1891 to kill, savagely kill, the entire prosperous industries of the country. Americans, beware Something close akin to this will come to you from that vicious destroyer, free trade. Ireland had four anG half million of happy people. God forbid such time agsinI In 1S48 was there and saw her sons writhing in the grasp of cruel famine, weltering in the blood of their brothers murdered by English lords and made aliens and exiles from every people in creation. The peasant swain that labors in the fields is grander woman than she who rules England to-day and does
 nothing for her people or mankind.
 Gentlemen, the sons of Ireland, from one end of the country to the other, are gradual ly opening their eyes, and their brothers across the ocean unite with them in one voice, which is laundering appeal for suc- cess to Harrison and Morton. [Great ap- plause.
 The speaker then related the work done by the friends of Ireland throughout this coun- try. He stated that an anti free trade club had been established in every district in New York and that there were at least fifty Irish organizations in that city alone all struggling for the election of Harrison and the over throw of Cleveland. He then read several extracts from the New York Herald core spondents throughout New York State, all showing the sentiment of Irishmen to be in favor ot the Republican candidates.
 s'The Democrats have @ bandanns," said the orator. "It is red, it is a symbol of the cross of St. George, and where is the Irish- man that hasn't fought against this cross, whether he be standing or throttled by 8 Briton's graspi It is the emblem of England and should be condemned by every true Irish heart. Here is our standard" :" said he, taking 6 small American flag from his bosom. "It is the banner that has never been overthrown, the dearly loved emblem of a hundred Amer ican heroes, the winding sheet of that great soul lately consigned to his last resting place. our sign of conquest and waves proudly above us in this great campaign. (Tremend- ous and prolonged applause)
 When the applause subsided Chairman Daley announced that Senator Frye would speak at at the Hyperion Theater on Tuesday night of next week.
 The Hon. J. A. Tibbits of New London was then introduced.
 After complimenting the elegant appeal of Judge Morrison the speaker stated that the wild theories of professors and dreamers were being cast into a merited oblivion by Ameri- can workingmen. "I remember" said he, ''that four years ago number of Republicans refused to support the greatest living states man, James G. Blaine. (Applause). But I have found that in nine cases out of ten where you scratch the back of a mugwump of 's4 you find beneath the shell downright free trader or a civil service reformer. (Laughter9 But these men, these civil service reformers; how sick and tired they must be. They have waited for four years for civil servics to move.

I wonder sometimes if he remembers how our soldiers suffered from '61 to '65. I say, if he has never had the patriotic feeling to let these thoughts enter his mind, he is not a fit man to head @ nation that has one million survivors of the terrible struggle of the sixties, and also say that these soldiers can never do nobler thing than write 'sVeto" upon his reelection this fall. (Applause.) The meeting broke up at about il o'clock, all enthusiastically pronoancing it one of the best of the campaign.
