 It gives me peculiar pleasure to meet t5is even, here to show the courage and constancy or the republican business men of New England. Inere is brief pause in the bat, le for the ndependence of American manufacture before the great strug- gle of 1892 Our free trade brethren are boosting themselves just now of some local ana tempora- ry successes. It is like the famous rest Tn the battle of Shiloh on the evening of the first day. Beauregard boasted that b fore sunset on tne morrow he would water his horse in the Tenpes- see river But he had not taken account or the staying quality of the soldiers of the north. Grant and Sherman made other engagements Before sunset the next day General Beauregard found it convenient to turn his horse s neao 1n I see that our friends across the water are taking just nov special interest m onr ama1rs MS Kiniey's ele tion. On this point whig and tory, liberal and conservative are agreed
 Mir Gladstone some months ago at Manchester that alone of all mankind she guarded tne ae blessed doctrine of free trade. My Lord or Salisbury the Tory Premier repeated the ia warfare, which has for it's weapons protective | legislation and for its prize the markets of the tent to occupy for a time a peculiarly isolated position: tnat the cause of Protsction aoes % not colony that they could cite as free trade colony no longer has an unspetted robe in that respect. And he thinks that the commercial community | in England does not falter in its attachment to free trade, not because of any speclal virtue m | that regard, but because of the fact that the articles in respect to which they would have to exercise protection are mainly articles Of hrst l consumpu 'n, bearing on the necessities or the whole body of the population.
 Our democratic brethren are making special threats and offering special bribes to Mass a- 1 chuSetts. One orator tells us that unless she comes to their terms the banners of free trade l are to be flung to the breeze.
 Free be they flung, for we were 10th Their silken folds should feed the moth.

 have held for thirty years, and to which they
 American coal of better quality can be laid dowr l in Boston far cheaper than that from Nova Sec tia? Will free iron be much of a bribe just now
 when this country is taking its place at the heae | of the iron p oductlon of the world? Do they | think that the woolen manufacturers Of New
 England so lacking in a sense of justice as t' l desire that their product should be protected
 without a corresponding protection to the woo | of the farmer or so lacking in sagacity as to be
 be tolerated by the American people? A yer!
 able and wise friend of mine, Senator Platt o
 trade device to the story of Polyphemus an
 Ulysses. The old Cyclops had promised Ulysse I reward When Ulysses claimed it. he told hin
 that the reward he would give him would be tha l he should be devoured the last of his companions ! Our free trade friends talk as if the presen l tariff rates wool and the manufacturers 0 l wool were something novel in our public policy , It is the old policy of Massachusetts. Tne tarii , act of '2S put duty of 60 per cent. ad valorer , l upon all woo fit to enter into the manufactur , l of cloth and of 100 per cent. ad valorem on a foreign wool worth less than ten cents pound It put corresponding duty upon cloth, of 50 pc , cent The cost of the wool was then reckoned 6 oe-half the cost of the product.
 This bill was petitioned for by large number , , and from all walks, conditions and vacations ( ! life It was advocated on the floor of the senat ! by Daniel Webster. It signed by Joh a Quincy Adams: Among the men who petitions , ! for it was William Lloyd Garrison, then in th [ flower and vigor of his youth. We may we ! | claim that that is sound, wise, safe, human ! | Massachusetts policy, for the interest of th { l worRingman and the employer, of the poor an ! rich alike, in regard to which William Lloyd Ga rison, Daniel Webster and John Quincy Adam | were agreed,
