THE REPUBLICAN POLICY.
ION the other hand the Republican
party believes in a tariff which, while
Welding revenue for the support of the
government, shall at the same time he so
adjusted as 10 promote the establishment
and maintenance of domestic industries
and the protection of American work
men: and TO that end would admit free oil
duty all articles raw or manufactured,
except luNurios, coming from any
place on the face of the globe
the like of which are not or can
not be simultaneously produced in this
country and impose duties only on the
things that we do not care TO produce and
make that rate high enough to measure
the difference between the cost OF the
foreign and domestic product. and by that
means stimulate the development or all
our resources and insure the employment
of all our people.
"Circumscribed within these narrow
limits " he said. lies the whole field Of
the controversy. and on this ground the
coutending political forces confront each
other in open and determined hostility.
The Republican party stands, / believe,
securely intrenched behind the bulwarks
of the American policy Of protection. and
will resist TO the last the combined forces
of free trade from whatever quarter they
NAV come. confident of ultimate and tri-
umphant support by the enlightened judg-
ment of the American people"
PETITION FROM TEXAS.

suppOsing that they were TO be worn on

BLACK ON FREE TRADE.
Mr.. Black, of Illinois, spoke in defense
Of the Wilson bill. In concluding his

word free Free speech, free press. free
thought. everything worth having is free
and in the end we will have the country
free from unjust taxation" Democratic
applause.
Mr. Hopkins, rep, of Illinois, a member
OF the committee on ways and means, be-
gan by saying that the Interpretation of
the political victory of 1892 of the major
lty of that committee, as embodied in the
Wilson bill, had not been accepted bv the
industrial north; and, Judging by the pro
tests which have come up from Alabama,
West Virginia, Louisiana and other
states in that section where the spirit of
industry has found lodging, it has not
been approved by the south either.
Mr. Hopkins spoke to almost empty
benches. There were not a dozen mem
bers on the democratic side Of the House
and about thirty-fve on the republican

much depleted.

the House took a recess until o'clock
this evening.
