Senator Dolph, of Oregon, responded to
the toast "ProtectiOn as it Affects the
Prosperity of the People and DEVELOPMENT
of the Pacific Coast"

he said, do not believe the tariff is a local
issue; they hold protection is national: that
an Industries OF the nation are so INSOFAR
ably connected that one cannot suffer with
out injury to the whole. The growth and
prosperity OF the commerce of the Pacific
coast are dependent largely upon protec-
ton policy. The Mckinley tariff act was
what was demanded; was what the party
promised; a measure to protect the inter
ests of America. The issue upon
which the next presidential cleo
ton will be fought, will be precisely
the issue upon which President Harrison
was elected and Cleveland defeated. / am

put before the people, with ample opDor-
tunlty to discuss as well as to refute mis-
representations from free trade sources,

to v1ndicate itself, an confident the result
Will be an increased majority for protec-
ton" Applausel.
Addresses were also made by Messrs.
Dolliver, Farqnhar, Sheridan.
Horton and others, continuing until a late
hour.
Mckinley further said the country is
prosperous and what is wanted is TO 20 on
and no ''monxeying'' with the
tariff. He predicted the tariff law will not
be changed in the next ten years unless by
the Republican party on protection lines
Senator Aldrich spoke to the toast, 'tMain-
tenance of the Protective System Indis-
pensible TO Profitable Commerce"
Senator Jones, of Nevada, sent a letter
in which he said the Chinese wall of pro-
lection was precisely what was needed in
this country to keep out the squalor and dis
tress that attend low wages abroad. Pop.
ular government rests upon the affections
OF the people and men can have no affection
for government under which they starve.
