mit u e 10 quote few sentences from that
speech.
He said What hinders us, secure in the
market of our own great population, from
successful competition i'm the markets oi
the world. WHAT hludcrS our people of
possessing every element OF material
wealth and endowed with inventive genius
uusurpasseQ from again, upon the merchant
marine, fying the flag Of our country and
rarryiuc It's commerce into every sea and
every port
Permit me to say TO the President and
his party that ] can ten them what ~ Is TO
hinder. ltiSt the Republican legislation OF
the past twenty hve or thirty years. The
legislation winch has Quilt up the barriers
40 a greater commerce, legislation which
instead OF giviug MS freer and wider mar
kets has restricted them that iSthe reason
thar the farmers and the manufacturers OF
this portion OF the country, as well as
of the whole United States, have
not entered into successful competition IN
the markets of the world. He speaks OF
the desirablty of having our merchant
marine tiyiug the flag ot our common coun-
try everywhere. oeg 90 remind nim that
i'm the good old days OF Democratic rule the
far of our, country used % fly on the mer-
chant marine everywhere throughout the
globe. and 10 Is only tnc narrow, restric-
tive partisan policy of the party now IN
pover that has prevented Ouc commerce
from thus spreading arOuue the globe.

ripe for the express manifestation ut
