General Harrison Favors Assisting
American Vessels TO Carry the
Mails.
INDIANAPOLIS, August The Republ-
cans OF Henry county, Indiana, to the
number Of about l 100 paid their respects to
General Harrison yesterday, The General
spoke on new subject when he touched
upon our commercial relations with South
America, and advocated the subsidizing OF
steamship lines to the Sonth and Central
American States In the course Of his ad-
dress he said:
ain ell the addresses which have been
made to me, there has been some reference
TO the great question OF the protection of
our American industries. see it upon the
banners which you carry. Our party
stands unequivocally. without evasion or
qualiio alton, for the doctrine that the
American market shall be preserved for
our American producers. We are not at
tracted By the suggestion that we should
surrenderto foreign producers the best
market In the world. Our 60 600 600
people are the best buyers in the
WIN 1hN ehSJ oAo buCu because our
working classes received the best wages
tApplausel. But we do not mean 10 be-
content with our own market. We
should seek TO promote closer and more
friendly commercial relations with the
Central and South American States. And
what is essential TO that ends Regular mails
are the first condition Of commerce.
The merchant mast know when his order
will be received. and when his consignment
will be returned, or there can be no trade
between distant countries. What we need,
therefore, ia the establishment Of American
steamship lines between our ports and the
ports Of Central and South America. Then
It will be no longer necessary that an
American Minister commissioned 10 Liver.
pool to find another English ship to carry
him TO his destination. We are not to be
frightened by the use of that ugly word
"subsidy." We should nay to American
steamship lines a liberal compensation for
carrying our mails instead of turning them
over to British tramp steamships"
