Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-08-11

have two gentlemen of whom l would
not speak in terms other than those ol
entire personal respect. In their Vice
Presidential candidate, have a friend
of many years standing, and am
PERSON AL ADMIRER OF JUDGE THURMAN
But beg you to observe that at criti-
cal period in this country Vice-Presl'
dent, George M. Dallas, in casting vote
tied the Senate and destroyed the pro
tective tariff of 1841. If you do not pre-
vent them Mr.. Thurman will be in q
position to re-enact the vote of Geo. M.
Dallas in 1912. The more amiable and
! the more able man may
be, the worse will be his influence
before the American people. Applause.
Now, gentlemen, know that in discuss
ing the question OF protective tariff we
are always pointing out what is going on.
l have lately been in England for some
months, and found in English public
opinion very great difference of opin-
ion upon almost all questions. They
are about divided upon what you
call the Irish question; they are
about divided on the forcible policy of
Gladstone and Salisbury; they are divid-
ed even upon the continuance of the
House of Lords. and they are not obso-
lutely unanimous in support of the mon-
archy. Laughter and applause.] But
there is one opinion they are agreed on
and that is that the Hon. Grover Cleve-
land, President of the United States,
EN- bodies in his person the reg
ular form of revenue and free
trade for tue United States
which they like. [Applause.] Now, 1
have no objection to their right of opin-
ion land if I had it would amount to
nothing, nor do intend to speak disre-
spectfully of the English, for have re-
ceived at their hands a graceful and cor,
dial hospitality which l would be churl
not to acknowledge before an American
audience; but that does not affect the
pending condition that the American peo-
pie find their interests in one policy, and
that the English want to change that
policy so as to better conform to their
interests; and that, gentlemen, is the
prime question before you in next
November's election. l am glad that
this meeting is called in the name of the
laboring people, because this question is
from first to last,
FROM SKIN TO CORE
And back to skin again, a question OF
labor. Loud applause. If you will
agree to live in as poor house and eat
as poor food, and receive as low wages
as the people in England receive,
we can produce as cheap goods
as the Democratic Administration
want to see. Applause and laughter ]
There is no need to make any laws to
protect capital. Capital always takes care
of itself and gets its full share. but there
are laws that elevate the condition of the
laboring man there are laws that can
degrade him and the Republican party
has stood for twenty-five years, and will
stand, believe with the blessing of God
and will of the American people, twenty
five years more, upholding and main
tanning the laboring man, for the Gov
ernment which takes care of the bone
and sinew and working muscle of the
land, is taking care of the men who
created the wealth IN the country, and
are therefore entitled to the patronage
and protection Of the Government. TAp-
plause.] Now, gentlemen, you re-
present a critical State; you repre-
sent the State of New York. Your votes
are to tally that issue. Your votes can
be decisive upon that one issue. Do not
be diverted from that one question by
other issues. Do not be misled by
petty squabbles upon this or that small
issue or upon question of personal abuse
on one hand or the other, but give your
vote as independent laboring men, and
give them for the interests of your own
homes, of your own firesides, and thereby
for the great interests of this great Re-
public. Continuous cheering.] l have
seen the other side; have devoted
many of the last fourteen months to
seeing the condition of labor and laboring
men in the other hemisphere, and l say
without fear of contradiction that in no
country is the condition of labor COM
parable to that which it holds in the
United States. [Applause.l Are you
now willing to give that position up or
are you willing to maintain it. [Cries OF
"Yes."] You can maintain it by
A STRONG PULL AND A LONG PULL
And a pull all altogether for Harrison
and Morton. Loud and enthusiastic
cheering and waving of hats.
The savings Of the wage workers Of
England, Scotland and Ireland, as said
to-day to a Massachusetts gentleman, are
not nearly so great as is tonight in the
savings banks of Massachusetts to the
credit of the wage workers of this
small State, and if you turn the
Administration of this Republic to-day
into free trade channels, you may not
expect these great savings, for you will
put our laboring men throughout the
country into competition with the labor
ing men in Great Britain, and in the
course of five or ten years you will make
them as poor on this side of the water as
on the other. 1 will not in this cam.
paign stop to argue upon any other basis.
+ have no personality to indulge in. /
have no sores to heal. Loud cheers
1 would rather have your cordial, heart
felt and sympathetic welcome than any
office you care to bestow upon me.
Applause. But in this canvass in
which shall take greater or less part, l
shall hold this question from beginning
to end as question that interests every
man, woman and child in this country,
that depends upon daily labor for daily
bread. [Applause.]
The crowd broke into wild and
tumultuuus cheer as Mr.. Blaine conclud-
ed, and after taking the arm OF MIR. Nor
ton, he went slowly back to the hotel.
