Depew to tho Undergraduates.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,. Oct. 2S.-Yale univer-
sity, particularly that part of its undergrad
uate forces which advocates the doctrines
of the republican party, tonight testified
to its regard for a distinguished graduate
in the pc son of Chauncev M. Depew, who
was the principal speaker at republican
rally. He WAS warmly received and spoke
al some length on the issues of the dav,
paying his respects in humorous manner
to Carl Schurz and Wayne MacVeash. He
admired Cleveland, not for his discretion
or wisdom. but for his determination to
have the right of way and, if necessary to
die fighting, as he did in 1883. There was
one thing about MIR. Harrison, in opposi-
tion to the common view of Cleveland, he
did not deem himself bigger man than
his party. He is ii simple, patriotic repre-
sentative of the & andest party in the his
tory of the country.

From this statement it appears that
the vrlue Of breadstuffs exported is
about S25,000,000 greater than. in the
exceptional year 1881, and though it was
much larger in 1880, 1888, 100000, even
then the magnificent total for the last
year vas not equalled. The value of
cotton was about S12,000,00O greater
IN 1881, though not as large as in 1891
The value of provisions in 1881 was
nearly S2O,OOO,OOO greater than in any
other YER prior to the last, but more
than that amount greater than the
value during the current year. On the
other hand: exports of cattle have more
than doubled during the eleven years;
the exports of mineral oils have increas-
ed nearl y one half, and the exports of
tobacco, thouoh estimated for the
month OF May. are certainly much
larger than in 1881 The most instrnc-
tive incr ase is in the multitude of
minor items, of which the aggregate ex-
ported in 1881 was about $4,000. 900 in
value, and has now risen to more than
S2loOOO,OOO, an increase o. more than
90 per cent. This one fact, even more
than the increase in exports of the great
porducts of agriculture, shows how
splendidly the industries OF the country
have advanced in ability to compete in
the foreign markets, and how untrue it
is that exports are prevented by Pro
lection. With an increase of only S46,-
100000 in the great staples, there has
been an increase of S78 100000 in the
multitude of minor articles.
In comparison with the one previous
year of extraordinary exports, the year
which is draying to a close gives ad.
mirable evidence of the progress to
close gives admirable evidence of the
srogress of American industries IF the
comparison should be made with any
series of consecutive years in the past
history OF the country, the contrast
would be much stronger, and the proof
of progress would be even more con
elusive. Thus the average Of domestic
exports of the ten years ending with
1881 was s630,OOO,OOO yearly, for the ten
years ending with 1891 it was s749,OOO,-
600 yearly, while for the year 1892. it
was 81, 030,000,OO0 In the face of proof
such as this, Free Trade theories are
oftnot much account.

EXPORTS" say free traders, land bars
the gates of other countries against
American products" This hoary un-
truth is refuted by every months re-
port of foreign commerce. and YET it is
constantly repeated. Reports of the
principal exports in My, show that Of
breadstutfs, cotton, provisions, cattle
a. d hogs and mineral oil the aggregate
value of exports was SAT ,S40,290, or Sll, :
POT, 404 greater than in the same month
last year. IT the remaining exports,
about 81 100000 in value last year, have
not changed, the value of all exports
for the month must be over S69, 200
600, and for the twelve months ending
with May, S1,022, 100000 Moreover, in
two weeks of June the exports from
New York alone have exceeded last
ye1r's by S3,700O00. so that the aggre-
gate for the fiscal year ending with
June, should there be no change from
last year in the remaining weeks here,
or in the months exports elewhere.
would be about ten hundred and twenty
six millions. The aggrega is more
likely to reach ten hundred and twenty
six millions. The aggregate is more
likely to reach ten hundred AMI thirty
illions. But the greatest exports in
any year under a democratic non-pro-
tective tariff were 1888. SIG, 037 in 1860,
about SO for every Inhabitant. Now
the exports are nearly SIG for every IN
habitant.
The only year which has closely APP
preached this in magnitude of exports
was 1881, when there was an eXtraOrdi-
nary demand for COTTON hreadstuffS and
provisions in Europe. Yet in compari
son with that year there has been much
increase in most items. The following
shows the aggregate value of domestic
exports alone during the year ending
with May, the amounts for the month
being only those from the principal
ports, with the minor exports for the
month estimated as equal to those of
the same month last year, and also
shows the exports for the twelve months
ending with May last year, and for the
fiscal year 1891, when the aggregate was
greater than in any other year:

Applause It's past needs the indorse-
ment of no man. 1t has the indorse-
me t of history, or the deeds of the re-
publican party are history itself
Applause and while we are prevented
from "poilting with pride" to the
achievements Of our party on account of
our tenderness for the democracy
laughter nevertheless we sit here to-
day rejoicing that our past history
shows that from our birth until now our
character has been such that it is a
guaran ee of our future 1t is true we
great things, but it is equally true
that have no right to rest upon them
Our past is glorious, but our future will
be more so. Applause.
1t is true that we have given to this
great country wonderful physical pros
perity It is true that wealth has been
poured into the lap Of all our people by
our great system, witch we believe in
and we have carried out
But | say to you to day there is a
nObler future than having given pros
peritv before the republican party,
and tn t noble future is to give to every
citizen Of the United States the iberty
of thought and action. Applause
Wealth ard prosperity are noble, but
human liberty is magnificent. Great
applause
