REEDS GREAT SPEECH.
A Brilliant Defense of the Doc
trine of Protection.
OPPOSED TO THE WILSON BILL
The Republican Leader Says 1t Is Distaste-
full to Both Parties = What Protection
Text of a Remarkable Address.

In this debate, which has extended ovel
many weeks, one remarkable result has al
ready been reached-a result of the deepes,
Importance to this country. That result i:
that the bill before us is odious to botl
sides of the house. 1t meets with favor no
where and commands the respect of neither
party On this side we believe that while
it pretends to be for protection it does no,
afford it, and on the other side they believ.
that while it looks toward free trade it doe:
not accomplish it.
Those who will vote against this bill will
do so because it opens our markets to the
destructive. competition of foreigners, and
those who vote for it do it with the reserva
ton that they will instantly devote them
selves to new crusade against whatever
barriers are left
Whatever speeches have been made in de
Tense of the bill on the other side, whether
by gentlemen who were responsible only to
their own constituencies or by the gentle
