 The chorus sang America" and John H. Light of South Norwalk was introduced. MT. Light spoke, in part, as follows:
 "The greatness of New Haven resides in her men and women and the same is true of our entire country. Our az ricultural resources are enough to SUD- port 1000, 900 people. We could place our entire people in the state of Texas and they would not be crowded as are some of the European countries. There is some poverty in this country but it is because we have not managed our wealth alright. Our only danger is from demagogues. In this campaign we want to get the truth. Every man should do his own thinking.
 "The opposition had great deal to criticise in surplus; but this criticism ,ayN1a \ n 1892 we were on the very tiptoe of pros- perity. Yet in that campaign the sur plus was criticised; and we have been feeding on stubble ever since.
 "We all have a proper interest in this issue. Experience is the best teacher The republican party stands to-day up- on sound economic principles, and we ask you, in the face of experience, to support those principles The paying of all our obligations in fifty cent dol lars is not what we want, and yet 1t Is what the silver platform stands for. Labor is educated and protected in this country You cannot compete with the cheap labor of Japan. This contest means for you, from the republican standpoint, protection. It means that dOlldf neTe SHdH pe dS Soou do e uol- lar in every other country. The silver party is a party of robbers This is a worlkingman issue. This money ques- ton is question that stands at the vi tals of labor.
 What a difference we have in the two candidates. William Mckinley represents all that is best in American statesmanship. What a picture he rep resents talking to the workingmen oi this country! MT. Bryan, on the other hand, gives you no argument, but sim ply stirs up antagonism."
 After another song by the glee clut the very. successful meeting was brought to a close.
