House Of Lords and they ar
not absolutely unanimous in support
of the monarchy. Laughter and ap
plause. But there is one opinion they
are united on and that is that the Hon
Grover Cleveland, President OF the
United States, embodies in his position
the regular form Of revenue and Free
Trade for the United States which they
like. Applause.
am glad that this meeting is called
in the name of the laboring people, be-
cause this question is from first to last,
from skin to core and back to skin again,
question Of labor. loud applause J
Ii you will agree to live in as poor a
house and eat as poor food and receive
as low wages as the people in England
receive we can produce Us cheap goods
rs Democratic administration wants to
see. Laughter and applause.j But it
will be otherwise II you wish TO better
your condition and il you want
the industrial system OF protected inter
ests that prevail in this country now to
be maintained. The savings OF the wage
workers OF England, Scotland and Ire
land, rs l said to-day to u
Massachusetts, gentleman, are not near
as great us lie tonight in savings banks
OF Massachusetts TO the credit
OF the wage workers OF that small State;
and il you turn the administration OF
this Republic to-day into Free Trade
channels you may not expect those
great savings, for you will put
our laboring men throughout the
country into competition with the labor
ing men Of Great Britain, and in the
course oftive or ten years you will make
them as poor upon thiE side OF the wa
ter as they are upon the other.
/ will not, in this campaign, stop TO
argue the question upon anyottler hasis,
| shall hold this question from the be-
ginning to the end us question that in
terests every man, woman and child in
the country that depends upon daily
labor for daily bread. [Applause.l
There is no need to make any laws to
protect capital. Capital always takes
care OF itself and
GETS FULL SHARE,
but there are laws that can elevate the
condition OF the laborlng men and there
are laws that can degrade him, and
the Republican party has stood for
twenty-five years, and it will stand,
believe, with the blessing OF God and the
will OF the American people, twenty-five
years more, upholding aud maintaining
the laboring man for the Government
which takes care of the bone and sinew
and working muscle Of the land. Ap-
plause,
Now, gentlemen, you represent n crit
iCal State; you represent the State OF
New York. Your votes are to tell in
that issue. Do not be diverted from
that one question by side issues.
Do not be misied by petty sguib-
bles upon this or that small
issue or upon personal questions
OF abuse on the one hand or the other,
but give your votes us independent
labOring men and give them for the iu-
tGrests OF your own homes, OF your
own firesides and thereby for the great
Interests Of the great Republic. In
mense Cheeringl.
l never, Mr.. Chairman, thought OF
that Republic as ] do tonight. [Cheers.
l have seen the other side. l have
devoted many OF the last fourteen months
to seeing the
CONDITION OF LABOR
and laboring men in the other hemis-
phere, and say without fear OF contra
diction that in no country of Europe, in
no part OF Europe, or a part OF any
country, is the condition OF labor COM
parable to that which it holds in the
United States. Applause.
Are you willing to give up that posi-
ton or are you willing to maintain it?

You can maintain it by strong pull
and n pull altogether for Harrison and
Morton. Loud and enthusiastic cheer
ing and waving Of hats
The crowd broke into wild and tn.
