years ago? You were told: IT the Demo-
cratic party succeeds every wheel of indus
try Will be running" Instead of that,
what do you have? You had every soup
house running-tgreat applause)-and the
good women of your town and the good
people of your town contributed that those
who wanted work and could not get it,
might have living What have you got
to-day? The Democratic party in New
York State have this week nominated
David B. Hin for governor Look at it!-
and David B. Hill, within three months,
could not get into the Democratic eau
Gus in the United States Senate. They
shut their doors upon him, They said:
You are no Democrat" He said II am
Democrat" And yet to-day, David B.
Hill is the nominee Of that party. What
is the party? Is 1t for gold or is it for sill
verP Is 1t for protection or is 1t for free
trade? Is 1t for protection alone, or is 1t
for protection for revenue only? What
Kind of revenue? Revenue for Brice for
his Ohio wool for Blanchard for his Louis
lana sugar, for Camden for his West Vir-
ginia coal, and for Mcpherson from New
Jersey for his Doodle? Great applause
and laughter.)

it Mr.. Gorman, or is it Mr.. Morgan of Ala
bama? Who is the Democratic party of the
country to day You know where the cleo
toral votes come from in that Democratic
party. They come from south of the
Potomac river. What is what you have to
make up the Electoral College-the votes
south of that Potomac river. South of that
Potomac river what interest have they got
with you to-day on the question of protec-
tion' They spoke of it in the Senate. Do
you believe there is a single protectionist con-
nected with any one interest, in the Demo
critic party unless it be the sugar people
No. And as my friend said here are they in
sympathy with the handful of Democrats that
are in the Northern states? No, and you
know it. Yet blindly you go to the polls snd
vote that ticket. You vote that ticket with
set of people who are not in sympsihy with
your people here and who have no raGustfes
as your people have here They believe in
free trade. Think of il! Be it ssid with
shame to this country-you have got 10 hnk
of 1.-THE chairman of the Ways and Means
Committe of the House OF Representatives,
think of it-being dined by the Chamber of
Commerce OF the great city oil London. Isn't
that enough to turn any honest Democrat
away from the party? Why, gentlemen, what
interest has England got in us? What inter
est has England got in American protection to
American industries? None. What England
wants is the vision of free trade so that Eng
lish goods, with low wages can come in the
port Of New York and be sold in your cities
and your industries be shut up. [Great ap-

saw sthem--not bummers, not trampe, but
scores OF hard working men marching to
Washington to try and get something to do
1t was the wrong way but they could not get
work. That is true They left their wives
and their babies back of them and they went
on this wild visionary tramp-not getting
what they wanted. They had been promised
by every Democratic orator work, and they
could not get it. 1t was pitiable sight. You
saw last summer, from that same result, in
the city of Chicago men shot down. No
work. You were told two years ago that if
you voted the Democratic ticket, all
you would have to do would be to
walk to the workshop and
you would get all you wanted. Has it
been so. meng lVoice--"No, no,n1 Let US

have passed under Democratic rule been
prosperous? Have your ehilnren been happy2
Has your wife been happy? Have you added
anything to your little home, o, has not, my
fellow Democrats, the little savings that you
