friends" says the Portuguese proverb,
and they are doubly enriched who. finding
among their associates ct college young

Tothe press Of the country we
owe much FOR the result of the re-

has--5st last taught the American
people UT protective tariff is a
tax. Applause. Mr.. Mckinley, in
his recent interview, stated that the
late elections had gone against the
repuhl hlican party for the reason that
the people did not understand his
bill. Laughter. The fact is that
the reason the recent elections went
against the republican party is that
the people did understand bis bill.
Laughter and cheers. And for
this understanding of the nation we
are indebted to the press of the
country. Applause.) 10 the press
we are indebted for the facts that on
Tuesday last $50 majority of repre-
sentatiyes were returned to the fifty
second congress opposed to the
Mckinley bill. We will also be in
debtad to the press for guiding that
majority in the future to wise and
patri2tic legislation. Applause.
