position of the tariff question, as being
the main issue between the Democratic
and Republican parties, dealing especl-
ally with free trade, not absolute free
trade, but free trade as opposed to pro-
lection. His exposure of the fallacies of
the arguments in favor of protection

deductions. The Mckinley bill he
showed had already been felt IL
deurer prices to the great bulk of the
people-the consuners-while wooI had
actually gone down. He scathingly de-
nounced the force bill and gave broad.
stutesmRn-like forecast OF the far reach
ing and disastrous effects likely to follnw
such u measure in the South. He had
cemented old friendships and created
new ones by his great speech.

weli-meaning man, but they feel he is
no match for his brilliant opponent out
of congress, AMI would be poor substi-
tute for him III it.
