have no interest in New England. The ab-

 have no interest in New England The ab- surdity of this is apparent.
 I remember what my father paid for his first axe. It was $2.50. Perhaps he paid more than he would if the duty were of. The free treder says this is robbery. The mere advance is this: If anyone live in the off for the duty. That is very plain, even if they do pay little more for the timebeing. Let me illustrate with tin plate, one of the stock argument articles of the free traders. They say it isn't produced here. Why isn't it. Because it isn't protected by tariff. If | they do like they have done with railroad | iron and hundred other things it would be manufactured here and the money paid for labor would remain in our pockets. Now don't we all gain by it, although we may pay
 a few cents morsa
 The robbery that 50 deeply stirs the free frader's soul is usually not more than cent | Q year.
 Suppose we put on double tariff on tin ! plate. It enables it's industry to be started in this country. Suppose you have to pay two cents year and do this for three years. ! It will amount to six cents. But at the end ! of this time his pail will be ten cents cheaper. I It is plain that it equali3es itself. Senator Beck of Kentucky, the champion of free \ trade, said that where $1 went into the treas ury on account of free trade $3 went into the pockets of protected manufacturers. I began
 looking to see how much duty had been col- ! lected under this 80 called iniquitious tariff. I figured how much the manufacturers had | made in this country since 1861. found that protection had netted them twenty-one | million dollars. looked around to see \ where it had gone. I found it in the pockets
 of men who had fought their way from pow
 erty and boyhood to prosperity"
 The speaker here paid tribute to -Ameri- ineYT fn f6n hi 0ho oafe l and prosperity of Americas homes and work | men. He closed by paying glowing tribute to the candidate on the State ticket also, ! which provoked mnch enthvsiasm. At the
 close of the Senator's speech the Young I Mems Republican Glee club very entertains I ingly rendered several campaign pieces. They were warmly welcomed.
 The Hon. N. D. Sperry then introduced | s'our soldier senator, the Hon. Joseph R. ! Hawley." The senator was greeted with
 such storm of applause that for five min- \ utes he stood lowing and unable to ind a | chance to utter word.
 After a few preliminary remarks he stated \ that the time had now come when sixty one I million people were trembling in uncertainty E between the up1ifted hand of shadowin0 ' menace to their industrial life and the grand ! dominion of the party of protection. "Before the election of '84, ," said The, "there was
 never so hungry and bowling mob as the | office seekers of the Democratic party. How \ they did yelp about the United States treas
 ury how it was being annually robbed and | the accounts daily doctored. But what g
 laugh did we have upon them when they
 finally came in and found everything as care
 fully balanced as the most fastidious accoun
 tant would require.
 Nowhere have I seen among Gleveland'G
 consequential appointments an acknowledge \ ment of the fact that bhere is great ability
 among the friends the union. They are ' ooi1 a1 all in Nh<
 new administration. Our affairs with the
 Indians have been msngled in hunting | ground of partisan sel6shness.
 Now to the attorney generals department.
 It isn't necessary to any more than men ' tion the name of Garland.
 | How with the navys MT. Whitney distin- | guished himself before he had been in power
 many months by killing man who was g \ grand honor to American shipping indus
 tries, who was the father of our greatest
 foundries and shipyards that stood on the
 shore of the Delaware-John Roach.
 | Whats the success of the foreign policy O, God of diplomacy, look upon the Chinese
 and Canadian intricaciesl There were con-
 sessions to be made, of course, such as ac-
 company the dealings of civilized nations. Now no President has any right to promise
 in behalf of the American people or congress
 any kind legislation.
 Look at the treasury! The national banks, the best banks in the world, were jeopard- | ized the very istant Cleveland came into power. It was necessary to keep a surplus | over, of course, as in any great business transaction.
 They complained that there were four hun dred millions idle in the treasury. The President, nevertheless, nursed this amount ! and shortly after had over six hundred mil | lions there. Everybody knows what a wise \ and good system of national banks we have, but there has been no move by the adminis- | tration to perpetuate this system and in this way it would soon die out and decay.
 The speaker then read 8 paragraph from ! the London Economist which stated that the | Presidents message was the greatest free | trade document that had appeared during the | campaign.
 "Yes," said the senater, lit is free trade that leads the Democratic party, and they are half in doubt whether it is guiding star | of good or evil. As Benjamin Harrison of ! Indiana says: "It fs not the steps taken, but I the direction" The question is the govern- | ing principle and not the precise details All the great countries of the world are protective, all but one, and that one could not be protective country if she wanted to. England has not the resources or the area to make it protective land. They can't raise the wool or the cotton. By no sort of pro tective duty could they raise @ hundred things that might mention, which are neees- sary to make and sustain great nation. In this grand country, stretching from tho Atlantic to the Pacific, we have everything that man could wish to support people. If we were shut out from the world for forty years, the end would find us the happiest and most prosperous people on earth.
 Compare Great Britain and the United States. The number of the agricultural class in Great Britain is decreasing. She would undergo any sacrifice to the world to stop this, for it means that she is going farther and father from the point where she could support herself.
 Unless there is diversity of interest the country cannot be developed. An agriculto- I ral people alone are retarded in progress. In ! diversity there is a place for every man, a chord for every heart. The organs of indus | try sound their pipes in perfect harmony and ! the music of their mouths is grand sympho- ny of industrial development and progress. | The way to make nation richer and richer I is to bring manufacturing and industrial ele- ments of all kinds within its borders. Foreign transportation is fondled by some people. Why, it is a calamity, an enormous tax. Instead of calling nation great because | it sends off great masses of commerce and re- ceives others in return, why isn't it greater still if this traffic is between it's own partsi Every cent in the latter case is in the pockets of the same nation and enriches its laborers. We can do almost everything. We can flash produce from one corner of the country to another by those powers of modern invention, the steam en zine. What is produced in far parts can be brought as near as if made at our own doors. Let us put ourselves at the end of the world, we can lead it, we are destined to lead it. Let us put ourselves there and there we all are greater than kings and emperors-we are American citizens (great applause) General Hawley continued in a vivid strain of eloouence attacking the absurdities of the free trade theorists who would take away the prop to our industries and undo our prosper ity.
 Somebody called my attention tonight to an article in the New Haven Register quoted from an alleged speech of mine printed in the Congressional Record of February 8, 1875. The spirit of the piece is vicious. It is 8 mistake. It represents me as saying that wasn't protectionist. never said it in my life said I wasn't extreme protectionist. That is exactly what it was. I'm in about the condition of General Logan. You know he was Democrat before the war but was fortunately and completely converted. He was asked by Democrat, "Didn't you say
