then l and you are patriotic and Ameri-
can in any and every sense of the word.
That ON. creed and belief. Cheers and
applause.
Lord Salisbury, in a recent speech of
his, and I quote the exact language as
.givensin verbatim report reported in the
London papers in the spring of 1892,
says, "We cannot look abroad into the
positions occupied by the great indus
tries Of this country without feeling
of regret and sorrow and coming
from him, it is painful to think that the
man is obliged to admit the failing pros
peritV of his own land. 'sItis to be re-
gretted that the men who should be work
ing for the capitalists, and dependent
upon them, are deprived Of everything
necessary to their well-being: the indus
tries are paralized and misery stalks
abroad through the land and some means
must be sought to face this condition and
give the laboring men sufficient time to
acquire the comforts Of life and also of
permitting them of sufficient time for the
moral and intellectual education Of
themselves and their children.
Think of that, my friends and demo-
cratic. free-traders who believe in the
ideas Of free trade England, the land
which carries the flag over all the waters
OF the world and its commerce, and its
Prime Minister appealing to the legisla-.
tors Of that country to bring about a sit
uation and state Of labor so as to provide
them with sufficient means of mainte-
nance and grant them sufficient time for
the advancement Of their moral and in
tellectual feelings. Uncle Sam has
solved that problem and don't have to
sit down and find out He has found out
the necessary course to be pursued for
the sustenance and well-being of his peo-
pie, and while we are holding the stew
ardship of this government, it will con
tinue. Uncle Sam don't have to find
the moral and intellectual being of all
the inhabitants of this country; it has
been provided for. I don't care how
humble the man, the woman or the child
is in this broad land of ours; Idon't care
how Ppor the man OF child is, they have
been provided for and are being cultiva-
ted StEu esiaessted elailysiin the thousands
and tens of thousands of school-houses
and churches all over the land. (Ap-
plause). In Great Britain, / know that
little children. weakly, sicllly children,
scarcely from the cradle, have to bend
with the burden Of sustaining their life
aad that Of the family, working day and
night in the mines of Cornwall and in all
the mines throughout that land In the
United States, thank God, wehave thrown
off that serfdom and tnralldom and the
labo1ing man has the opportunity to
make living without throwing into the
harness his little boy OF girl, and stand
up as proud citizen of his country. Loud
applause and cheers). The Republican
party has given that protection to Amer
lean labor and has made it an established
fact. (Applause). Every nation is try
ing hard to find out how to take and get
the greatest possible protection for its
own industries, and America takes the
front rank in its protection of it's own
laborers. Oh, they have seen it tried for
so years and have found that it is wrong
and this broad land over which float the
Stars and Stripes Of the Western Hemi-
sphere is fast gaining the way and acquir-
ing the supremacy which they have been
so long the powerful possessors of. Gap
plause). What is the reason; because
she has stripped herself Of every weapon
by which it is to be held. Public senti-
ment is rising in opposition to Great
Britain's course. She wants no duties
placed upon her products and will lay
none on the products of other hands.
That is the way Great Britain is enabled
to get rid Of her products, sure enough,
but she has also got rid of the last vest
age of supremacy she has been holding
so long and the United States is taking
her place in the commercial world. We
levy no duties? We declare to the
world that we levy no duty on anybody's
products for the sake Of what we can get
by it, tell you my friends, it may be
noble but it is not business. 1t may be
noble, this theory Of free-trade. but it
isn't business. / tell you,. Ibelieve in free
trade as a theory, it is one Of the most
beautiful theories on the face of the earth,
when all the nations of the world are
