In eloquent language Mr. Heath por-

come 10 thi, country through protection and
reciprocity. Revolutions, he said, move
slowly. but as sure As God holds in hi,

Gentlemen, | wish hal time to pay my
respects To the fragrant and mouldy recort
of the Democratic party. To every
indictment of its life of sin and iniqnity
it pleads guilty and promises reformation

meut The Republican party has never
made promise it did not keep. 1t has i
right to stand upon its record of unbroker
faith and again demand the confidence OF
the people Its foreign policy is dictated
from Washington, not from 0ttowa. 1t,
political economy is for America not f0i
England
