minent men from many parts Of the

one Of the principal addresses Of
the day was delivered by Congressman
John A Sullivan. who spoke Of what
he regarded as the evils whicn had
srown out n the protective tariff.
saying IN part
"A few days ago the Republican
majority In both houses Of Congress
forced upon the country a law CONF
pelllng the canal commission 10 pur-
chase It's supplies from American
manufacturers whenever the prices of
the latter were not unreasonable or
cytortiongte. Within a week after the
time that law received the presidents
signature the Maryland Steel COM
pany was awarded a contract for two
dredges at $4,000 each, The foreign
concern offered to build them for t7o,-
600 less over 10 per cent. Al that
rate, Sl0,000.000 worth OF supplies,
which would be purchased next year,
American trusts will overcharage US
100000. which. according TO the
majority In Congress will not be exc
toruonate or unreasonable. The sale
OF American products I'm the canal
zone next year Will represent $1,000
600 Of plumber The sales Of American
manufactures 10 the people II the
United States next year viii surely be
sixteen thousand millions. which will
therefore. az the same rate represent
sixteen hundred millions Of plumber.
Not only has the tariff system de-
stroyed equity Of taxation. closed the
door OF industrial opportunity aud
practised extortion upon our people,
but Il has also been and must continue
TO be the rotten center Of an ever
widening circle Of corruption. The
Chicago packers paid into the Repub-
lican campaign treasury the price ~
the duty on hides and felt safe IN pois-
oning communities: the insurance
companies Of this state made contri-
buttons with which they purchased
peace al Albany. the Pennsylvania
railroads purchased immunity for
years from the law forhldding the
railroads 10 engage in the business

gang pay their money 20 help elect a
Republican Congress which viii pass

The people reason that they must
fight the giant with q greater giant
and thus they seek new laws IN the

dies IN the state. A beaurcaucracy g.
