II remember well that when the VII

the senate, and was under discussion,
Senator Quay stood resolutely for every
interest in his state and presented the
destruction of great industries by his
famous speech which was the longest
ever delivered upon the tariff question
in the history of the republic, and which
has not yet been concluded. (Great
laughter and appIause) When he was
fighting for the industries of your state,
on the floor of the senate, If he could
not save them in any other way, he re

OF the people are striving. (Applause)
