WELCOME TO BAYARD


| duty to come and welcome the man who
did his duty so well abroad. He had
never had the pleasure of shaking the
hand of so great statesman as Mr..
Bayard. Delawareans would not know
what corruption is until they go to
Delaware county, Pennsylvania.
Mr.. salisbury, who was asked to
represent the Young Mems Democratic
Club, said that organization envies the
| Bayard Legion Democratic Club the
name it has adopted. When Mr.. Bay
ard know that his State was threatened
with debauchery, as it is now, he (Mr,
salisbury knew, he continued, that
5000 miles of water would not stop her
son from rushing to her. lie contrasted
Democratic and Republican protection
and said Democratic protection is the
kind to give State threatened with de-
struction from outside sources. Demo-
| cratic protection, he explained, is equal
protection. The Democratic party ad-
vocGtes honest rights, the just rights Of
free men and of brothers standing to-
gether for right.
Mr.. Bancroft said they knew he was
not born or brought up in the Demo-
cratic faith, but the faith in him now Is
from conviction, not merely from what
he believed to be right and wrong, but
what he had observed of the creeds of
the two political parties. During visit
to England, he remarked, he had seen
the same kind of yarn which Is manu-
featured here. When he returned home
he asked a friend for how little could
he build certain kind of mill, and the
friend replied about SIS per spindle. In
England he could have gotten better
mill for less than $4.75 per spindle. He
told the friend that the tariff which was
protecting him was the cause of it. The
only kind of protection We need, he
continued, is the kind Mr.. Salisbury
had referred to. Every time he goes
over our abominablG tariff he is more
disguised with it. The money tariff
taxes are not one cent benefit to the
government but go into the pockets of
the manufacturers. Steel rail mills rum
ming six months will more than supply
all the steel rails taken in any one year
in this country. The tariff destroyed all
the carrying trade OF the United States.
Our tariff causes the growing OF wheat
in the Argentine Republic, Russia and
India and helps reduce the price of
wheat to-day more than ever in our
history. This is largely from our system
of protection. Acquaintance and rela-
tives in England had told him that just
as soon as America gets to her free
trade position the supremacy of Eng
land will be at an end. He would say
free trade is the greatest friend to the
manufactures of this country. The
working people of England are better
off than those of any place in Europe
simply because they are in free trade
England and not in protected France
and Germany. They have tariff in
England but it is for revenue only.
All the speakers were enthusiastically
greeted and frequently applauded. The
festivities concluded at midnight ,With
cheers for Ambassador Bayard the
Democratic ticket and the Democrats of
Pennsylvania.
During the two hours preceding mid
night the cosey club house was thronged
with visitors. The banquet was IL com
plete success, and the clubs generous
hospitality was greatly appreciated.
Everybody had delightful time and
Ambassador Bayard was especially
pleased. Id
The Young Mems Democratic Club
kept open house all the evening. Until
a late hour the capacious rooms were
literally thronged with visitors enjoying
| the hospitalities of the club.
The reception committee was kept
busy during the evening taking charge
of the numerous new arrivals. The
club rooms with their brilliant illumipa-
tons were an attraction all along the
street and everyone seemed to find his
way to the Y. NJ. ID. G.
