head Of which was one Of our greatest

has been in control of tho fed.
eral government, in all Of its branches, for
now nearly nineteen months. And during
that period 1t has employed the greater part
Of Its time in revising the tariff. That long
period (for 1t has seemed very long to the
American people has given to us IN op-
portunty for sober reflection, stcadied by
the discipline Of adversely. The people have
been rejecting, for they have had little
else to occupy their attention. The people

great change. 1t must have been apparent
even to congress, that while they were en-.

and were impatient with anxiety TO pass
judgment upon their work. 1t did not take
the people SO long to revise their views as
1t has taken congress to revise the tariff.
And they are only awaiting IN opportunity
to express those revised Views In constitu.
tional way at n national election. (Applause)
The people Of this country never were 70
anxious, In all their history, 10 vote as they
arc at this hour. And have been looking
for some one who would move the previous
question and stop all debate 20 that vote
might be taken ut once. Great applause)
