Mr.. Reed at Lynn.
BosToN, Sept. 28.-Hon. Thomas b. Reed
and Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge addressed
large and enthusiastic meeting at Lynn last
night. Mr.. Reed was introduced as the first
speaker and received with great enthusiasm.
In his remarks he said: 81 have not come
before you tonight to say any harsh or un-
kind things about the Democratic party.
One reason is very plain. 1t is that hope
we shall have here in Massachusetts,, as we
have had in Maine, some votes from the
Democratic side. They have had in the
past very natural prejudice against the
Republican party. 1t was natural that they
should. We kept them out of power for Is
years. and you remember that few years
ago we had succession of TRADES against
the Republican party They said, give us a
sight at the books and we will turn the ras-
Gals out They have had sight of those
books for three years, but they have not
turned them out. Why? Because they did
not md any such characters there. So, my
Democratic friends we don't say to you that
we shall give you absolute perfection. The
Republican party Is not yet ripe for trans
latl0n [laughtcrl, but we do think that
we represent the Church Militant. Why
shouldn't you, then, our Democratic friends,
He spoke Of the way in which the Repub-
licans had met all important issues. He re-
ferrec to the vig0r and intelligence of the
republican party. He reviewed the growth
OF the country since 1860, comparing the con-
dition OF 1t then with the present He gave
an exhaustive demonstration of the effect of
protection on labor. They were simply ask
ing the voters to vote themselves into hard
times. II was infinitely better to have two
jobs seeking one man than to have two men
seeking one job. and that was what the
Mills bill meant -Four years before Russia
adopted her tariff eight hundred million
weight OF manufactured goods were bought
by her from England for SS0,0O0,O00. -Four
eight hundred million weight, the same
amount from England for $17,O0O,0O0. The
rate was S375 per hundred weight before
and S212a per hundred weight after the
tariff was adopted. The fact remained that
there was only one civilized free trade ma
tion in the world, and that was England,
and there was only one other country which
mad 1t, and that was one Of the colonies.
Every other country had adopted the other
system. The question is which is likely to
be right The great crucial test Of protec-
ton was TO come in the United States.
