 Re Heard in Congress on the Coun-

 Worcester Mass, Oct. 10-Three
 things were combined at the great meet ing at Mechanics hall to-night--a rati- fication meeting for the republican state
 ticket legislative reunion, so to speak, for large proportion of the members of the legislature were there, and, lastly, cordial and inspiring welcome home" | to the senior senator from Massachu- setts Hon. George F. Hoar, from his European trip. It was one of the most noteworthy political demonstrations in the history of Worcester county. Not only was the full republican state tick 1 ct present, but the principal speakers were two of the most illustrious men who grace the national administration, Senators Hoar of Massachusetts and Frye of Maine.
 Senator Hoar was introduced as the 'noblest Roman of them all,' and he received a remarkable ovation. He said: "It is not my purpose to address this audience tonight except to ac- knowledge your cordial greeting which ic hIIt token nf and unfailing kindness I have experienced at the hands of my fellow citizens of Worcester now for more than fifty years.
 II pledge my loyal support and hearty approval of the doings of the recent state convention. stand by the candi- dates and I stand by the platform. (Gre9t applause.) I wish to repeat, on my return home, the last words 1 said when l went away Every man who knows President Mckinley likes him. (Appause) Every man who knows him as well as I do loves him. His has been the rare good fortune accorded to no other man in the history of our country, that his name Is known and lll go down in history as the harbin- ger and creator of two periods of un- exampled prosperity. When the tariff known by his name was the law of the land the laboring man, the business man, the commerce, the manufacturer and the investment of property in this country had attained not only what was the high water mark in the United States, but the highest water mark of prosperity ever reached by any country in all history.
 "The repeal of that measure was fol- lowed by period of diversity which | cost the United States, in my judg- ment, not speaking of the loss of life | and health, but only of money a larger | sum than the civil war itself On Mir | Mckinleys election to the presidency | the great protective measure which he | signed brought prosperity back again. l The favorable conditions to-day even | surpasses that to which have referred. | Our opponents used to tell us that our monopoly of our own markets could , be held at the loss of foreign markets. | but to-day we are sending our products. 1 iron, steel, machinery and textile man. ufactures, to the countries which have hitherto been the chief homes of their manufacture. I saw the other day the
 
 stockholders of new business estab- lishment in England with which the chairman said they were only waiting to begin operations upon the arrival of their machinery from the United States (Applause)
 But fellow citizens, I will not take up tonight the time which fairly be- longs to others. No man need doubt that l shall utter my opinions upon all the great questions which concern the people and with which congress will have to deal at it's coming session. the great and overshadowing question of our foreign policy, in which l have been unable to agree with SO many of my political associates fear lessly and fully in due time as becomes a lover of liberty and as becomes a senator of Massa chusetts."
 Senator Frye was received with much cheering and said in part: Since the close of the civil war the progress of the republic has amazed the whole world. We had the best mar ket known on earth at home, a market which consumes nearly our entire pro- duct. It is rather refreshing for Us re- nublicans here tonight that all this home market work has been secured lnder republican administration. With n a few years time this country will lave population of 100000, 900. What will these people take up? Are they going to farming? To-day )ur products supplies the home mar 1et and the greater part of Europe. f f you cannot dispose of this product, f backward you go. To the manufac- ( urers, especially shoe makers say r hat there is no earthly reason why the | United States should not make boots f md shoes for the whole of Europe If f ve take the necessary steps to under c ell the markets of the United States. f '1s there any way we can shorten i he distance? Yes. By building the + canal or some other isth- e nian canal which shall be made use of i, " every country in the world except n case of war This will bring us 800 niles nearer Yokohama, 20OO miles carer Corea. Any intelligent man is ble to see that a shortening of dis | ance will increase amazingly the trade t .ith the Orient. t "For the first time in history we are n as great nation of the f world. What shall we do with the Fill fl oinos? First rebellion must and shall 0 e crushed out. The sooner the better
