Mr.. Bayard then went into a dis
cussion of the taaiff, taking for his text
the reason given by Thomas Jefferson
for public economy: That labor might
be lightly burdened. To the claim
made by the Republicans that they
raise high tariff on raw material for
the protection of the American work
man: his answer was that
they protect his rivals in
market but that of the United
States. Mr.. Bayard closed his
speech with reference to the Sack
ville-Murchison correspondence, ana
holding the Republicans responsible for
what he called a trick, accusing that
party of concocting the original letter,
said: ''And where are they now? 10

My friends, you cannot divorce political

and there are weapons that are denied

would coin lie to defeat a political
enemy would poison the well in the
time of war and slaughter his wife and

honest sentiment of every American
citizen to resent the insult offered them.
If the receiver of stolen GOODS is as bad
as the thief. what can you say OF men
who, in public speeches, clap their

THEIR OWN POLITICAL INFAMY?
The whole civilized world shuddered
with the excuses of the French revolu-
ton. for in those days, when mems pas
sions were frenZied, prostitution was
w0rshipped in the name of the Goddess
of Reason. And are there men in this,
country so base and so poor that they
welcome the thing that brings shame
en- the name of American politics?
TGreat applause. At this point Mr..
Bayard's emotions were so stirred that
he was unable to proceed. His form
trembled, and the tears cOurSed down
his cheeks. When he had composed
himself he continued: care these the
men, is this the party to whom the well
fare of this dear land is to be handed
over? God forbid. Whatever our diff
ferenees as to personal admirations, aye,
whatever be our differences as to per-
sonal preferences may be, let US resolve
that ours shall be a govern
ment of honorable, self-respecting
men. Let US establish. and let it
be our first duty to establish such
tone. such a standard of morals that, no
matter whether man goes abroad or
STAYS at home, he may say with Just
pride and gratitude: Thank God l am
an American citizen
When Mr.. Bayard turned to resume
his seat, such storm of cheers broke
forth that shook the very walls. and
continued for several minutes. The
meeting closed with a speech by John
K. Cowan, the eminent lawyer.
