the world are owned by English
capital, and SO the Republican who
voted TO double the price on tin,
voted to double the profits of the
English capitalist. The doubling
of the price of tin was also blow
to one of the greatest Industries of
this country which gave such a
market to farm produce-the can

Here the Senator pulled out his
watch, and finding that he had al
ready spoken longer than he had
intended, he closed his address with
thanks to the audience for the
marked attention they had given
him, and said he would be followed
by one of New York's ablest men,
the Hon. Thos. F. Grady.
MIR. GRADY.
The chairman then introduced
Mr.. Grady, who was greeted with
applause, and as he began his speech
the people crowded forward, all
anxious to drink in every word that
fell from the lips of this brilliant
and eloquent speaker.
He began by saying that when
he came to West Virginia TO speak
on the political issues he had ex-
pected to find the two great parties
as they were in New
York, where he came from, and
under banners inscribed
with like legends, but in this he was
for the first thing that
met his view on the walls and bilr
boards was the announcement that
the g. o. p. had adopted "Protection
to American labor by the Broad
Shield of American law as its mot
toe in this campaign. Itwas not so
in Now York, there the party of
great moral ideas relied upon fried
fat, fraud and force to rally their
forces for the fight. He then re-
terred to the claim made by Gen-l
Golf and other Republican cam
paign orators, that all of the prog
ress and prosperity of the country
was due to the high protective tariff,
and said this was robbing Almighty
God of his just dues. The great
and Astounding prosperity and add
vancement made in the United
States was due to the favorable con-
ditions which surrounded us, our
great extent of territory, virgin
sol, free institutions, the intelli.
gence, energy and industry of our
population and the blessing of God
upon the efforts of the people. All
these things had combined to make
us great and prosperous nation in
spite of the unjust and unequal laws
made by the Republican party.
Mr.. Grady clearly demonstrated
that when corporations had grown
to undue proportions and labor
found it necessary to organize in
order to protect itself, and there
arose conflict between capital and
labor, that the Republican party
had uniformly taken the side of the
corporations. He showed by apt
and homely illustration that there
was actual free trade in labor, and
the workingman had to compete
with the labor of the whole world,
while the manufacturer was pro-
tected against the Importation of
foreign goods. Or4in other words
it was free trade when the working
man went TO sell his labor but pro.
lection when he wanted to buy
goods for himself and family.
