After discussing the elaborate menu, Gen-
eral Draper made q brief speech, duriRg
which he mentioned McKinley'e name.
This called forth an enthusiastic demon
ntration, the company rising and cheering
for "the future president OF the United
States" At fremont Temple, where the
speaking occurred, Senator Hoar was the
first orator. He said in part;
Senator Hoar.s Speech.
Our Democratic brethren arc making special
threats and are offering special bribes TO Mas
sachusetts One orator tells US that unless she
comes to their terms the banners Of free trade
are to be flung to the breeze. Others tempt
the virtue Of her manufacturers with the
bribes Of free iron and free wool and free coal
DO they think the manufacturers q Massa
chusetts win ahaAdon the policy that they have
held for thirty years, and 10 which they owe
all their prosperity, to get free coal, 10 long as
American coal Of better quality can be laid
down IN Boston far cheaper than that from
Nova ScotiaY VIII free iron be much OF a
briue just now when this country is taking its
place At the head OF the iron production Of the
world Do they think that the woolen manu-
facfurers Of New England ara so lacking in a
sense Of justice as 10 desire that their product
should be protected without a corresponding
protection to the wool Of the farmer
A very able and wise friend Of mine, Senator
Piatt. Of Connecticut aptly compared this spe
cious free trade device TO tho story OF Poly
phemus and Ulysses. The old cyclops had
promised Ulysses a reward. When Ulysses
claimed It. he told him that the reward that he
would give him would be that he should be de-
voured the last of his companions
Senator Hoar then paid a glowing trib-
ute to the work performed in the last con
gress by Thomas B. Reed Major McKin-
ley and Senator Aldrich Goyernor-elect
Mckinley was the next speaker. He re-
ceived an enthusiastic reception and al
most every sentence elioited applause. He
said:
MR. mcKiuiey's Address
Protection h a great cause, because it is that
Of home, country and family Any form Of
taxation is inconvenient The best form Of
taxation is that which rests most easily upon
the citizen. and while raising the required
revenue, gives encouragement to our own
people Ia their occupations The Home Mar
ket clnb and Republican party don't believe In
direct taxation, except in the face Of a national
emergency. The difference between a revenue
and protective tariff is one Of principle,
which touches every enterprise Of the people.
A protective tariff. a more certain agent for
raising revenue than revenue tariff encour-
ages the industries of our own country and pro
tects our own labor. A revenue tariff encour-
ages the foreign shop and labor and diseour-
ages the domestic. for you cannot have large
importations Of competing foreign products
without displacing domestic products di
ninishing the demand for American working
men and increasing the demand for working
men abroad. There comes time when
revenue tariff fails, because the people have
grown too poor 10 send money abroad 10 buy;
but a protective tariff never fails Under IL
we have reached the first rank in the world as
= manufacturing, mining and agricultural ma
Not a Burdsn, he says.
No one knows from personal realization OF a
burden that there Is such a thing IN existence
as an American protective tariff and man
isn't very much hurt II he doesn't know II, but
every one knows from personal realization the
blessings of a protective tariff; the laboring
man from work and wages, the farmer from
the most magnificent home market In the
world, and the consumer from cheaper prod
ucts than uneor a revenue tariff.
This b. the best country in the world, and il
IA our duty to keep il 50. Our history shows
