flkht mas Ine government 10 put your
wages up and maintain them at a high
rate without putting my wages up and
maintaining them at a high rate. The
government never has, and never can do
1t. You may read the Mckinley bill from
one end to the other, aud you Won't hnd
q section In 1t that directly or indirectly
increases or maintains the wages of
American labor The profit OF protection
goes directly into the pocket Of the man
ufacturer
The laborer Is on the free list, and
the manufacturer pays him Just as much
| rs and no more than the necessity Of the
case requires: and these same protected
manufacturers who have insisted on
being protected In order that they may
maintain the wages Of labor, have
| imported from abroad and brought into
competition with American labor, thou.
sanos Of men who understand nothing
about American institutions and who do
not speak, and never expect TO speak,
the language Of American people.
Benefit 20 the Farmer.
What else have we done? We have
| reduced the main schedule from 10 to %
per cent. the iron schedule from 25 to
90 per cent, and better than all that.
we have put on the free list for the first
time, for the benefit OF the farmer, free
farming implements. Applause and
oheersl, free salt We have given him
also Tree binding twine. We have
given to the southern planter free
cotton ties, and we have given to the
people living IN tha older states that
which Is more important than all
these other things-free lumber. that
they may fence their farms and repair
their buildings and keep their children
comfortable. All that this bill has
done.
Democrats Fight Openly.
"rhsre is one peculiarity about the
| Democratic party. 1t never airs its
quarrels and dissensions In ithe corner
When Democrats quarrel they quarrel
before the world. IL Democrat thinks
any man is false TO the tenets OF the
Democratic party there is no place 100
sacred for him to say 30. The President
OF the United States did not hesitate to
speak out, the Senators and representa-
tives did not hesitate to speak. Whsr-
ever a Democrat has heen false to his
party all have been told from the
house top That Is the best way TO
settle Democratic quarrels We cannot
afford TO carry these heartburnings in
our breast. II a Democrat has taken q
false step, speak to him and tell him OF
It, and II he will not retrace h.s steps
appeal to the country.
81 say to you that this Democratic Pres
dent but outlines the feeling OF the great
masses OF the Democratic party, and that
the supplementary tariff bills sent ovei
from the House TO the Senate will become
laws before the death Of this Congress-
Applausel
eve are going to lose members Of tn,
House We have had to face hard times
Evils that had grown up for 30 vearl
under Republican rule could not b
removed at once. It takes time for thi
doctor to restore the convalescent slcl
man; SO It is In the body politics. TIL,
Democratic doctrine is breaking the dis
ease. Keep us In power, don't take the
patient away from us for five years, ant
you viii see the American people as free
as they we're before the first gun of the
war Of the states was fired Applause.
Democrats of Delaware May Decide.
"We are at the work of tariff reform
II we are capable Of maintaining oui
hold upon Democratic states, holding al
I
States Senate, and supplementing then
with additional senators from Demo.
cratic states, this work can be continued
| We must have the House Of Representa-
tives next year, and the Democrats from
Delaware may decide whether It shall b.
Democratic or not We must have
J Democratic Senate during the mex
Congress. and the senator from Della
ware may determine that
at Is not my province or desire u
} appeal to Democratic voters Of the stat
Of Delaware. You have been Democrat
, almost back to the time whereof tn
memory of man runneth not to the con
trary. Your senator's in the halls 0
J Congress have raised their voices Il
favor Of equality Of all citizens befor
the law when II was regarded almost Il
treason TO speak In behalf Of humRi
liberty. No state In all the galaxy o
the states Of this Union has a bette
!. right TO be proud OF the men who sat i

I have the people Of Delaware Aud wa ma
Z say the same as to your Representatives i
i Congress- II is true that your states

I statesmen true in all the past, as bs
