QUOTES LINCOLN.


"It is peculiarly applicable to the
present situation. MIR. Lincoln SAID;
The first OF our resolutions declares d
tariff of duties upon foreign importa-
lions, producing sufficient revenue for
the support Of the general government,
and so adjusted as TO protect Amerl-
can industry, to be indispensably nee
essary to the prosperity of the Ameri-
can people, and the second declares
direct taxation for a national revenue
to be improper (Applause.)
Listen 10 his description OF the con-
dition OF the country at the time he
spoke, and how wildly it portrays the
times in which we live: For several
years past the revenues of the govern
ment have been unequal to its expen-
dltureS, and consequently loan after
loan, sometimes direct and sometimes
indirect in form, have been resorted to-.
by this means a new national debt
has been created and is still growing
on US with rapidity fearful to contem-
plate-a rapidity only reasonably 20
be expected in time of war You would
think that Abraham Lincoln was de-
scrlblng the three years from 1888 to
1896. CGreat applause) Is it any Won
ger When the national convention IN
Chicago, May II, 1860, the second as

", that resolution was passed which
is the same doctrine which we advo-
cate now?
There are two great incentives to
american manhood-the realization of
individual ambition and patriotic devo-
ton to county. The more active and
lntelligent the participation of every
citizen In the affairs of state, tae
freer and purer and greater will be the
government. Here all citizens are in
terested IN the government, and here,
represented in this great assembly, are
men OF every avocation and profession;
but you are here because we believe
alike and because you want neither
free trade nor free silver (Great cheer

which cannot be performed by a. sub
stit1te, but must be done by each citi-
zen for himself. Indifference to our
duties as citizens will inevitably be fol-
lowed by incOmpetency and corruption
in public affairs.

Not more than one-third of the Ohio
and Pennsylvania visitors had departed
when a long line of carriages drove
up and Governor Lippitt OF Rhode Is
land, and Governor Bushnell, of Ohio,
with their richly uniformed staff Off
GERS, alighted Major Mckinley met
the two governors at his door steps and
greeted them cordially The members

Major and Mrs. Mckinley. Mrs. Bush
nell accompanied the governor of Ohio.
While the social functions were going
on Major Mckinley introduced Cover
nor Bushnell to the great crowd gath
cred in the yard. Governor Bushnell
mounted q chair and made a lively and
vigorous speech. Among other things
he said:
I'VE are glad to come and call on
Major Mckinley because he is the rep
resentative of the principles of the
great party that we support, the party
as 1 said before which has done so
much for humanity. (Applause.)
We call to see him because we be-
lieve, as he does, that the employment
of one man at fair wages in an Ameri-
can shop is worth more to the republic
than the employment of thousand
men in q. British shop. applause and
cries of That's right') We are glad
to call and see him because he believes
as we do, in maintaining revenue coll
lectorS at the ports Of the nation rather
than at the doors of the citizen. (Cries
of Good, good.'O We are glad to have
the opportunity to honor him, and [
am glad to see you all here.
L take pleasure in introducing to you
the Hon. Charles Warren Lippitt, gov
ernor of Rhode Island" Great ap-
pIause.)

ed and made a short speech which was
literally applauded by the multitude

Bushnell, Adjutant General Sackett, of
Rhode Island, and Adjutant General
