business Is SO sensitive, so quick TO
scent danger, that any legisl ton or
proposed legislation or change Of policy
which would deran2e or alter OF unsettic

blow is given. . So that from the very hour
it was determined by the American peo-
pie that tue Republican iarty. which with
but single interruption had bsen In
control OF the government for more than
thirty years, was to go out OF power and
another party with different Iolicg

titude OF waiting and OF fear and anxiety.
While business men were waiting To

to the other and labor was without work.

workshop should be projected as far as
possible from the foreign workshop, 10
the end that American workingmcR may be

as to be employed at American wages.
Nor DO l want products cheapened at
the expense OF American manhood. Nor do

QUOTED FROM BLAINE.
"James q. Blaine. that gifted statesman.
in 1eS4 spoke words Of wisdom which seem
siDgulariy applicable 40 Cur prtsent situa-
ton and to the present hour. He said:
"A policy that would abandon the field
of home trade must prove disastrous to
JiieInechaDics and workln2nen OF the United
States. Wages are uDjustly reduced when
an industrious man is not able by lbs
earnings to live in comfort, educate his
children and save sufficient amount Tor
the necessities OF age. The reduction OF
wages inevitably consequent upon throw
ing our home market open to the world,
would deprive the workiDgIneR OF the United
States OF the power to do this. II would
prove great calamity to our country.
IL would produce conflict between the
poor and tue rich and in the sorrowful
degradation of labor would plant the seeds
OF public danger.
1.-The Republican party has steadily aimed
to maintain just relations between capital
and laDor-,UardinS with'cIre the rights
OF each. A conflict between the two has

We do not propose now to inaugarate

generous privileges and matchless oppor-

where law is supreme over all, and Tor

My fellow citizens, it is gratifying to
me to be assured by your Spokesman and
my old cOmrade-it will be inspiring to
the whole Country-that the voice u labor

defames the honor Of the nation, no party
which stands opposed To law and order,
or which seeks 10 array the ma sses against
the classes, shall receive its vote and sup

we have this year resting upon US as
citizens grave responsibility. The country
has never failed or faltered in the past
TO meet every crisis. 1t will not faIter or

Il thank you over and over gain for this
call and for the patriotic sentiments which
have b'en so eloquently expressed by your
spokesman. To have the hearty SUPPORT
OF the workingIneD, is indeed an honor 10:
which thank youln the GaIne OF lEe Cause
