 Speech Sf Cleveland.
 It was twenty years ago almost to a day that I appeared before Newark audience charged with the responsible ity of my party's Presidential candi- dacy. The Democratic platform in that campaign denounced the Republican Party for having failed to relieve the people from crushing war taxes, and declared that unnecessary taxation was unjust taxation. This platform also promised that. If entrusted with the control of the Government "the De- mocracy would purify the administra- tion from corruption. restore economy, revive respect for law, and revise the tariff in spirit of fairness to all in terests."
 It was in support of such platform and in obedience to the promptings of Democratic impulse that 1 said on that occasion:
 act tribute from the citizen is limited by its actual necessities; and every cent taken from the people beyond that required for their protection by the Government Is no better than rob We had then just been favored with a demonstration of the manner in which the tariff was reformed by Its friends. In 1882 tariff abuses had be- come so apparent, and the amount ex- acted from the people by taxation of imports was so much beyond any ne cessity or Justification, that the Repub- lioan Party in congress teH oDiiseo least appear to be in the direction of reducing tarir rates. commission, In the absolute control of Republican pro, tectionists, was thereupon constituted to manage the affair

 Thereupon certain selfish interests which had such control of the party in power that they had become accus- toned to demand and receive from It's hands the tremendous profits arising from inordinate protection, were arous- ed to the most vicious activity and made a demonstration of their control alike humillating to American patriot ism, discrediting to our scheme of pop ular rule and disgraceful to the party which surrendered to their dictation.
 The recommendation of the Commis- sion were spurned; and in the bill fin ally passed 1t Is computed that the av- craze rate of duty on imports was ac- tually increased, instead ot being dt- unfinished. That the consumers of the land who then asked for bread were given stone: Is proof of the futility ot any hope for tariff reformation by A party tied hand and foot in the bonds of sordidness and reckless greed. Up on the evidence supplied by this incl dent 1t is incomprehensible that the pretense should longer be tolerated that none can be trusted to justly re- lieve the people by tariff revision eX- cent the friends of radical protection.
 It was under the operation of this disrraceful outcome of a delusive show of tariff reformation by it's friends, that the battle of 1884 WAS fought. The average rate Ot duty on emports ther

 | have ventured to remind you oi these incidents for an especial purpose I desire to direct your attention to the fact that in the contest of twenty wears ago the tariff then existing was condemned because in and of itself without accomplices or vicious asso- cfates. 1t was guilty of despoillng oul people in their homes. Trusts and Combinations did not then appear as its eonfederates. If they existed at all they were infant industries too few and too young to be mentioned in the platform of either of the great politi- cal parties and too newly born to be the companions of such other infant industries as though still unweansd had actually grown gray at the breasts of sinfully indulgent tarlff protection
