their respects to General Harrison to-
day. They were fine looking body oI
men, and the clubs from New Castle
Cadl1, Greensboro, Moroton and Knights
town wore white plug hats. The spokes,
man for the visitors was General William
Grose, Of New Castle, n comrade OF Gen
eral Harrison in the campaign around
Atlanta, to which General Grose alluded
in his address. Henry county lies with
in what is historically known as the
"burnt district" Of Indiana, was settled
by QuaEers, to which sect General Har'
rison's remarks applied. The General
spoke on new subject to-day, when he
touched upon our commercial relations
with South America, and advocated the
subsidizing OF steamship lines TO the
South and Central American States.
His response was as follows:
CoMRADE GRosE AND NY HESRY CoUS-
TY FRIRNDs:-In all the addresses which
have been made to me, there has been
some reference to the great question Of
the
PRorEcTIoS OF AMERICAN INDUSTRIES.
l see it upon the banners which You
carry. Our party stands unequivocally,
without evasion or qualification, for the
doctrine that the American market shall
he preserved for our American pro-
ducers. [Great applause.
We are not attracted by the suggestion
that we should surrender TO foreign pro-
duCers the best market in the world.
Our sixty millions OF people are the best
buyers in the world Iapplausel, and they
are such because our working classes re-
ceive the best wages. Applause.l
But we do not mean TO be content
with our own market. We should seek
10 promote closer and more friendly
commercial relations with the Central
and South American States. Applausel
And what is essential to that end? Our
mails are the iirst condition OF commerce.
The merchant must know when his
order will be received and when his
consignment will be returned, or there
can be no trade between distant COM
munities. What We need, therefore,
is the establishment OF American steam
ship lines between our ports and the
ports Of Central and South America.
[ [Applause.l
Then it will be no longer necessary
that an American minister, commission
ed TO an American State, shall take an
English ship to Liverpool TO find an.
other English ship to carry him to his
destination. Applause.
We are not TO be frightened by the
use OF that ugly word, Subsidy"
Laughterl We should pay TO Ameri.
can steamship lines

for carrying our mails instead Of turn.
ing them over to British tramp steam
ships. [Applause.l We do not desire
to dominate these ncighboring Govern
ments. We do not desire to deal with
them in any spirit Of aggression. We
desire these friendly political, mental
and commercial relations which shall
promote their interests equally with
ours. We should not longer foregO
these commercial relations and advan.
tages which our geographical relations
suggest, and make 10 desirable. II you
will excuse me from further public
speech, will be glad to take by the
hand my Henry county friends. Tap
plause.
