ought not to be blamed for II, because he diu ~

plauso.1 He was right then, but how can ne
reconcile his attitude then with the attitude OF
the Republican party now and the attitude
taken in his own letter Of acceptancef I read
that letter Of acceptance carefully the other

other night in an audience In New York City
gentleman in tho audience called out: 'Salt
Will not save him this time" Immense
laughter.
Another article we propose to put upon the
free list ia wool. believe that tho putting OF
this article upon the free list will stimulate the
wool manufactures OF the country. lApplauses1
Pray tell me where and whence came this de-
mand for free wool7 1t Is said tho Democratic
party Is acting in the interest OF England and
that We desire to subservo the interest OF En-
glish manufacturers. deny the statement
Why. the first demand OF late years that came
for free wool came from q convention or gath
ering Of woolen manufacturers themselves,
held In this country wherein they discussed
their interests and unanimously resolved to
petition Congress to put wool upon tho FREQ
list believing 1t would suhserve the interests Of
the manufacturers themselves lApplause.l
The Democratic party, In acceding to their
request, is endeavoring to do some
thing for the WOODEN manufacturers Of
our own country, and not simply to
subserve the interest OF foreign manu-
facturers. What did they says OF the
CSC, 100000 pounds OF wool used in this
country, and necessary to be used, only 30o,.
100000 pounds were grown in this country.
Half Of II nearly came from abroad and
necessarily comes from abroad. Some Of 1t
is Of different quality from that used in this
country, and these manufacturers said
English manufacturers get their wools
from Scotland, and get them from Australia.
They como into England free from duty. We
can not however, get Australian wool, except
by payment Of duty, and we, therefore, can
not compete with English manufacturers. For
the purpose OF getting relief from this unfair
and unjust competition they petitioned Con-
gress for the placing Of wool upon the FREQ
list.
The Republicans accuse the President OF o
lack OF patriotism. You hear It upon every
hand. know they quote day after doy In their
newspapers forged extracts from English pa
pers saying English people take great inter.
est in Grover Cleveland. A great many of
them have been shown to be forgeries and 1t
can be proven that they are all forgeries.
Talk about President Cleveland being friend
and tool Of England! Why, my friends, he is
an American boy-lcheers and fnughterl-
born in this country, identified with the
institutions Of this country. Every pulsa-
tion Of his heart is American. He is an Amer
ican, every inch OF him prolonged cheeringl,
and the Republicans know 1t. He sought to
settle. by honorable arbitration the difficulty
with England and Canada upon tho fisheries
question. The Senate, in its wisdom, saw fit
to reject the treaty proposed. Then, what did
the President do? This President that is the
tool Of England; this President that is the
friend OF England; this President that wanted
to subserve the interests Of England, sent q
message to Congresses bolder, grander, better
message than the one in December last, in which
he asked that Congress should give him the
necessary powers to enable him to retaliate in
behalf OF the rights OF American fisheries and
the rights Of American citizenship. [Applause.l
And this cowardly Republican Senate refused
to give him this reasonable and proper power
that he asked, because they knew that he had
the courage, and had the patriot sin, and had
the vigor, If they had gwen him the power, to
nobly uphold the rights Of American citizen
ship [Applause.]
The speaker proceeded at great length
to demonstrate that the Democratic party
was not engaged in u crusade to reduce the
wages Of the working people. He referred
to the fact that the first anti Chinese bill
passed by Democratic votes was vetoed by
the last Republican President OF the
United States, and that the Scott bill,
passed without moments hesitation by
Democratic House, was passed by the Re-
publican Senate only with extreme re.
luctance. In his judgment, nothing but
the exigencies Of this campaign and the
record of some OF their candidates induced
them to pass it The conclusion of his ad-
dress, which was listened to with the
closest attention, was greeted with great
applause.
