Harrison can triumphantly endure such
q test. doubt IL, since the government
OF the United States was instituted, any
body, at any time, has seen what we call
sgood times" SO general, taking in so
many interests and spreading prosperity
throughout the whole domain OF trade.
might appeal to New York IL the city
has ever passed q season more satisfacto-
~ in financial results than for the past
two years, in which the general effect on
capital and labor has been moro prosper
Gus. The opponents OF the Republican
party always represented New York as
commercial city and not q manufactur-
ing one, and yet the products OF tho
manufacturers OF this city alone is $780,
100000 Anything that would cripple
that great interest would cripple the
metropolis seriously and to very hurt
full extent. More men In New York get
their living from pursuits protected by
the tariff than from any other source. 1
know New York is the centre OF our
commerce, the great entreport OF our
trade; but all the men engaged in COM
mercial affairs in and about New York
are smaller in number than the men en-
gagged in manufactures.
Nor II you go West, where the Demo-
Gratis this year are making considerable
effort and doing q vast amount OF boast
ing, will you find 1t different. Take Ohio,
take Michigan, take Indiana, take Hi
nois, and the products OF manufactures
are greater in pecuniary amount than the
products of agriculture in these tour
great agriculture states. SO that think
when it happens to Democratic orators
who are on the wing trying to arouse the
hostility OF these states against the pro-
tective tariff, they will encounter SEN
timent OF which they have not dreamed.
We learn from the Democratic party that
these Western States are in a desperate
condition. The amount OF their farm
mortgages roll up into the millions. You
would suppose it fabulous that the
amount Of money they embrace conld
ever have been SO invested.
vote. / see 1t stated that the Democrats
boast OF having the mass OF them in their
ranks. This year IL is one OF the myster-
les OF politics that question which in
terests England SO supremely, which ID
canvassed almost as much as In London
1t as in New York, should have the Irish
votes of Great Britain. II the Irish vote
were solidly for protection, they could
defy all the Vaccinations OF the Demo-
cratic party for free trade, and throw
their influence on the side OF the homo
markets OF America against the side oil
foreign markets OF England.
know this appeal has been frequently
made to the Irish voters, but i make II
with emphasis now, for i am unwilling
to believe that, with light and knowl-
edge he.o-e them, they will deliberately
be on the side OF their former oppressors.
think i shall rely on my good friend
Egan, the brilliant and successful minis
ter to Chill, whom feel especially glad
TO meet at Mr.. Reid's table this evening.

with his countrymen in two senses-not

the standard of wages of American labor
by their potential votes and their poten-
tial numbers.
