"on the other hand. the Republicans are
In such position that they must. for the
next tao years. give to business that
certainty which il must have to do any
thing successfully. We could not make any
cnange for the better. from our point Of
view, because Cleveland and the senate
would oppose. We certainly should not
do anything 20 make the tariff worse, for
that - contrary to our principles. To
sum IL all mp in q word. this appeal is to
business men. and by business men
mean almost all the people. The Demo-

"Of course business in this country

can have peace. 10 cannot stay where il
IS now. Unless American enterprise Is
dead, and that can never be. we shall have
struggles over wages. and lessened profits
and increased competition TO contend
with. and whatever failures TO protect
them are in this bill will find themselves
out That much hurt will come, that
wages Will not again reach their former
level. do not doubt: but we shall learn at
the costly school of experience, and per-
haps learn enough TO pay the cost of tu-

II now. The battle for tariff REFORM said
he. has been wonderful and inspiring /
well remember the close Of that contest,
when. to use the language of the Demo-
cratic Times OF Chicago. the members of
the house Democracy had been morally
and iegisIatively whipped l remember
well how, every time I rose
that dav. I thought how much they
looked like grain field devastated by a
haiistcrm. They were devastated, not by
US. for they had 100 majority, but by
Themselves. little thought should live
TO hear that the scene was inspiring
Wonderful it was, indeed, but inspiring,
never. Perhaps the orator. when he used
both words, was not thinking of that
scene, but of the brilliant dinner in Lon
don, where his legs we're under the British
mahogany aud he was cheered by the ap-
piause of real friends.
Perhaps, however he meant to refer To
the condition OF this country the last year
and q half Perhaps this wonder and
inspiration came from the deserted work
shops, impending cuts OF wages, struggles
between employers and workmen. Per-

Education Is q necessity of the human
race. not book education. but education in
the working Of human affairs. Ny best
consolation in these times is that some
lessons sre being learned, not out of books,
but IN more solid fashion. out OF expert
ence. Nor Is the lesson TO be learned only
by those who voted wrong. Some of MS
who voted right have much to understand
a. TO the foundation of things. Perhaps
the knowledge which comes TO us comes
fast enough for practical life. When,
years ago. We defended protection on the
ground OF infant industries. We stated
good grounds for the establishments of
manufactures, but were no; protection,
one. but merely method OF securing 10
