MEETINGS WERE.
ratification meeting that III patriotic enthusiasm
seemed like the OF 1854 was held at Excelsior
Hall, at Twenty sxth-st and Seventhave last night
under the auspices OF the Republican Club. George
B. Morris called the meeting TO order and introduced
the first speaker, Henry Powers who said that 1t was
the duty OF Republicans stand shoulder to shoulder
against the common enemy Of this country that had
existed ever since its foundation, the Democratic
party. "The ISSUE" said the speaker, Is so clearly
defined this year In the platforms Of the two parties
that no man need hesitate for an instant which TO
support"
General George A. Sheridan who has recently re-
turned from Europe, where he made an exhaustive
study OF the condition Of carriers, particularly IN
London and Liverpool, made forceful ana eloquent
address that veted the attention OF his audience for
nearly an hour.
aThe Democrats said General Sheridan assert
| that protection is unconstitutional but man named
Daniel Webster. who probably knew more about that
cornerstone OF liberties than Dick Croker or even
Roswell p Flower, in a speech delivered at Albany
forty eight years ago, defed any man to prove that
the Constitution prohibits protective policy. The
American people will agree with him In November
The issue before is clear. 1t is tho revenue sys-
tenn OF Great Britain against the protective system OF
the United states. Which gets rich faster the Amen-

! United Kingdom $4,000 900 wage earners out Of
| population Of 90, 100000. Their earnings for an
equal amount Of time amount to only $3.50
| 600 900. After careful examination find
! that there is not single article OF ordi-
nary use that is cheaper in England than here And
then look at the wages paid. The best bickiayers
receive in London Il cents an hour, or 81 10 for
day Of ten hours. The average wages here are ID
