The constant opposition ot the Democratic party to tlie protective pol icy during tlie past 11! years had been the cause ot vast loss upon the country 1 tlirimrli il 1:1 mint ipil lil-.iieft 'Pliw ii-.i1 the result of uncertainty .superinduced by the perpetual menace of the Democracy upon thu protective tariff. Referring to the labor question he said the right of labor to orgauizu could not bu questioned, but every citizen should re member mat "the liberty ot one man must always end where the the ri hi.. tf another man begins." He looked back with satisfaction to ids record in Congress as lie had never blotted by a single vote that was not fiiendly to interests of Amer ican latior. He intimated that the wages of labor in America could not be kept above thu Kuiopean standard without a protec tive policy. Labor organizations have made no movement toward perpetuating the pro tective policy by national legislation. They seem to have taken little or no heed of thu existence of 1,500,000 able bodied laborers in tin- South with dark skins, but witli ex panding intellect, increasing intelligence and growing ambition. W hlle these men 1 being restive the coachman reined him up were slaves the skilled labor of the North ,..., .,. ,-,,.,,..,,,1 .i ,1,,, iir,ii,, on,a felt no competition from them. Hut since !

The great mass are. of course, I 1IH.ut Tll0 m.e kl.,,t oll llt (l fearful puce still engaged 111 agricultural pursuits, lint , ,, hundreds of thousands have entered 1 wMe turning a sharp corner all were the mechanical and sumi-ineclianlcal Held. Of course, they aru underpaid. I hey re ceive far less than has been paid in years past to Xorthern mechanics for similar work. They arc able to take no part in making laws for theirown protection, and they consequently are nimble to maintain a fair standard ot wages. Continuing he said, " Do you suppose you can permanently maintain in the Northern States one scale of prices, when just beyond an imaginary line on the south of us a far dill'ereiit scale of prices is paid for labor? The colored mechanic of the South is not so skillful a workman nor so intelligent a man as you are. but if lie will lay brick in a new cotton fae'ery iu South Carolina at half the price you are paid, lie i inevitably erecting industry which, it the same rate wages bo maintained throughout will drive you out of busine 1 or lead you to tlie gates of hisown poverty The situation is tlieretor plai Jy discerni ble and demonstrable, viz.: First, if tlie Democratic party shall succeed as they j havu been annually attempting for 11! 1 years past, in destroying the protective1 tai'lll, l lie ariisau" ol uiu 1 nueu .uues will lie thrown into direct competition with the highly skilled and miserably paid labor of Kurope. Second, if the Democratic party sliuU be able to hold control of the national government thu colored laborer in the Southern States it-ill veimitii elieie the Southern Demo crats have nlaced him politically, subject to the white man, and unable to tlx the tirlr-n of Ins labor.

At every turn therefore, whether It he in exposing thu white American laborer to thu danger of Kuiopean competition by destroying tlio protective tariir, or whether it bu in reducing Hie wages of the white man by unfairly making the colored laborer Ids fatal competitor, in all ileitis ot toil, the Democratic party, lioith and south, ap pears as the enemy of every interest of the American workman. With that party placed in full power, and with all its measures achieved, thu wages ol Ameri can labor will fall as certainly as ellect follows cause. Mr. Hlainu referred to the fisheries dispute claiming that the course followed by Secretary Huyurd and President Cleveland was thu most extraordinary thing in thu history of American diplomacy. Congress had de clared the treaty of Washington" termin ated so far as it pertained to tlie tlslieries Then Secretary Huyurd hud uccepted pro posals from Minister West to prolong the treaty six mouths longer vvhuh he hud no right to do, Not only this but Secietary Hiiyard had agreed that tlie president should recommend a fishery commisson to Congress lu consideration of the treaty being extended six mouths. This was ab sunl and unwarranted proceeding. The Knglish government had calculated that thu recommendation of thu president would have the elfect ot causing t hu de sired commission to lie appointed. Helng disappointed 111 this at the expiration of the six mouths, the Dominion government began outrages upon American llsliing vessels, and they still continue. " Thu humiliation of our situation," hu said, "has been gratuitous ly Increased by tlie vote of the majoiity of the Democratic party in the House of Hep resentatives to throw open the markets of the United States to British ami Canadian Ilsliermnn, without duty or chaige and without securing to the A murium Usher men the right to llsh in Hrillsh and Can adian waters. This is an act of such un countable and rancorous hostility to the llshlng Interest of Xew Kngland that it is dllllctiit to comprehend its motive." Mr. Hlaine also criticized Sec -etary Hay ard's course In connection wit u the Cut ting affair iu Mexico contrasting tlie '1111 necessary and undignilied display of In solelice and bravado toward .Mexico" "our patiunt endurance of Canadian out ragelipon American Ilsliurmen." Heferiing to the third or Prohibition parly iu the coming contest 111 Maine, Mr Blame called attention to the tact thai the Prohibitionists practically admit that thu elifoicenient ot the prohibitory law by thu Republican party has plated Maiiie a quarter of a century ahead of other States in the prohibition movement, and to the laci that their present movement makes party of Democrats who are avowed enemies ot prohibition. He closed with a cutting arraignment of the Prohibitionists ter their Inconsistency, and with a brief review of tlie grand record of the Hepub licun parly. RUMiAlilA'S l-KINCi:.
