Company G Has q Rousing Meeting
Which Promises Well For the Coming
Campaign-Mino Attieboro Notes-A
Jewel Of Town.
ESPECIAL TO THE SEws.i

sentative Republicans of neighboring
towns. The Hon. +. 4. Greenhalge, the
guest of Company @, held pleasing re-
ception in the club parlor from to 8
o'clock, about which hour the assem-
blage was seated and Mr.. Greenhalge was
presented by President f. S. Horton.
The distinguished gentleman spoke for
an hour considering the gains made in
trade and manufacturing since the pas
sage Of the Mckinley bill. the advan-
tages which might be reaped from defeat
of the past, the certainty Of future vic
tory and the value of the Republican doc
trine.
He said among other things that the
Republican party for long while had
been the party of success. of emoluments
and gifts aud salaries, but tonight IL was
recovering from defect He stood before
his auditors n relic OF the disaster of 1890.
1t is well to have test somestimes to
know who is true, aud after the expert
ence of the past year or two the Republi-
can party is now organized for victory.
Whether the candidate be the strong,
silent, patient man in the White House
so true to American interests or some
other candidate, victory must be the goal.
If necessary he will step down willingly
to the certain result in November. What
ever the decision at Minneapolis, it will
be made upon the most friendly and mag
unanimous terms.
The two great parties work upon differ
ent foundations. Our party prefers TO be
guided by facts, our opponents choose to
follow thrones and chmeras. Mr.. Green
halge showed how foreign commerce had
increased, and also domestic manufac-
turas. Massachusetts, Industries were
never in more prosperous condition.
Strikes Yes, and for a long while to
come there will be strikes, but they are
not the riotous strikes of the workmen of
Europe despairing over their depressed
condition. They are honest difference,
settled by arbitration peacefully aud as a
rule in good spirit. We have caught up
to Great Britain and in fact outstripped
her.
We have imported four hundred and
twenty millions of free goods and three
hundred millions of dutiable goods. Steel
rails sell lower in New YORK than in Lon
don or Liverpool. We have made tin
plate enough to supply sheet to put over
the mouth of every tin plate liar, and can
increase the sheet of the dimensions Of the
mouths require it.
The only depressed trade is the leather
trade which has free raw materials.
There is very decided upward tendency
all over the country, in wages. The great
problem is not how to find people willing
To come to this land of progress and of
privileges, but how TO sift out the millions
clamoring for admission.
The world has deserted free trade, and
it Is to-day q sort of Fly ing Dutchman on
the seas. Every colony, but one of Great
Britain is protection in principle and
practice, even against the mother country.
Protection was spoken Of as the national
idea and free trade as the cosmopolitan
idea. The former is recognized by most
all great nations as the most business
like and proper for its own people.
The silver question and the ludicrous
position of the little band of anti-free
silver Democrats were dwelt upon. The
latter claimed great victories and ban
quoted for what? For victory against
their own party. But it took eighty
eight Republicans standing guard over
the nations interests to secure the victory.
Protection is gathering great profits for
us at home and Reciprocity is reaping
great harvests from lands beyond the sea.
Republicanism is patriotic. IL does not
regard the flag merely as textile fabric
of three colors, but IL sees In the red the
blood of patriots from Concord to Gettys-
burg, in the white the peace under whose
gentle sway we are to go on to greater
triumphs and greater prosperity. in the
blue the grand old ocean over whose
waves reciprocity is bearing to our shores,
In fair exchange for the wealth of other
climes, in the stars they see symbol of
that heaven under whose blessing they
mean to 20 on bringing comfort to hui
manity, bringing the progress, the happi-
ness, the long train of results which must
follow if the economic policy of Republi
canism is sustained by the people, as it
will be, and the Republican banners are
again to wave in triumph.
