the world from its earliest ages. He
moves with the people ; he has felt their
pangs in his earlier life, and he bows his
head to assume their burdens now. In
all ages of the world, even at the very
horizon OF its existence, such men have
been found, On whose brow nature set
the stamp of leadership, and who stood
ready to sacrifice themselves in the
cause of truth. Cheers.
"The Republica party has governed
the nation for 2S years out of the past so,
and its shibboleth for the last 26 years
has been protection to American la
bor.' Yet, within the past three
months, and with its candidate fairly
set upon platform worded to that
effect, we find strikes and labor riots
prevalent in no less than seven states of
the union"
IF the Republican party is the only
true guardian of free labor" said Col
onel Irish, "why do we have these riots,
and why are the military called out to
suppress them? Up to 1861, working
under the beneficent tariff of 1846. de-
vised by Robert j. Walker, himself a
grandson of Benjamin Franklin, there
had never been bread riot nor labor
strike in the land. (Roars of applause).
People tell you that it was because the
men of that era lacked the courage of
our day. That is not eo--history places
its negation upon it, for the men of that
day fought the greatest war Of tho GEN.
tury. (Cheers). They were not de-
fcient in courage for they put them
selves into history as no Americans did
before, save the men of Valley Forge.
1t was not lack of courage-it was the
plenitude of contentment. Their toll
some years had made them tame. Now
if this protection to American labor that
has prevailed in the past four months
a. exemplified at Homestead, C9ur
d'Alene, at Buffalo and in Tennessee, is
the best our Republican friends can
give US, it is about time for the American
people to hire lawyer, go before the
probate court and demand change of
guardians" TCheersI.
Mr.. Irish read only one extract, and
that very brief one. Itwas an extract
from the San Francisco Chronicle. ga
paper,' he said, sedited by a Mr.. De
Young, "who is trying to create q va
cancy in the United States senate by
getting elected to that body himself"
The speaker made ecore of clever hits
on the tariff question, especially when
he referred to the high tariff of Italy,
and her average OF wages at 20 cents per
day. At another time he brought down
the house by saying that ''the only man
ufacture that had increased under Re-
publican rule, was the manufacture of
American millionaires." He told good
story of Lord Melbourne, in 1910, when
the cabinet met and agreed to increase
the duties. in order to make goods
higher. Now" said he, sis this to
make them higher or lower, gentlemen
1t does not make any difference
which you cay, but be sure you
all say the came thing" He
used this as slap against
the tin plate orators and got away in
great shape. He showed up the fallacy
of McKinley's claim that the tariff is
paid by foreigners who ship their goods
here. eff so," asked Mr.. Irish, "why
did Mckinley let sugar in free of duty
and why did he not protect the domestic
cane sugar of Louisiana against the for
eign-grown sugar of the Sandwich ISL
ands ?"
In word it was demolishing speech
and it is doubtful if Mckinley, in per-
son, could have faced it. Colonel Irish,
after holding his audience almost spell
bound for an hour and half, closed
with an eloquent peroration and retired
to his seat, The meeting then adjourned
with three rousing cheers for Cleveland
and Stevenson and the talented gentle
man who had 30 ably advocated their
cause.
