Then bo said : "Wo Bland by Hits policy. Wo maintain und tlo- fend It as constitutional and right , as beno- llelal to all classes of our people and ns ono of the best results of republican policy. " Ho reviewed iho tariff planks ot the repub lican nnd democratic parties and domed the democratic charge that protection was u fraud upon the laborer for the bcnollt of the few. Since the protective larllT had become llio settled pollev of llio country the laborer in the United States was confessedly bettor off than tn unv other country In the world at imy timu. This was shown in wugos ; in iho cnjovinonl of civil and political righls ; In Iho education of children ; In soclr.1 standing , and in the possibilities for the future.

Thcro might bo dliferonccs of opinion as to wupos. but the laborer was us free to cheese his mode of employment us was Iho employer. Senator Sherman then discussed the con stitutionality of protccilon and quoted Jef ferson. Madison , Monroe and Jackson , who , ho mild , were nil in favor of protection. Calhoun , ho continued , first promulgated tbo Idea t hut protection wus unconstltutlonul In the days of nullification in 1S33 , nnd General JncKscn Mild tlmt If ho tried to curry out bis ideas ho would bin ( ? him ns high as Ilaman. In conclusion , the senator said It was for his hcnroM to cheese whether protection for America should bo continued , cr whether they would carry out the idea of the confed erate blalcs and Iho frcotraao notions of commercial cities nnd of professional dudes , whoso only Idea was Ihut "it is English , you know.

Ho replied lo the interview of Mr. Justice , a member of tbo llrm of Justice , Baloman & Co. , wool dealer * of Philadelphia , In Iho Associulcd press dis patches ot llio 2'Jth instant. Mr. Springer said : "In n speech at Jacksonville , III. , last Tuesday , 1 took occasion to expose the parti- sin character ot certain so-called Irado circu lar. ) issued by Jmtlco , Batoman .t Co. , wool nnd commission merchants of Philadelphia. I pointed out the fact that this llrm had , in Us circular of July 'JO , 1892 , published figures which purported lo glvo the price of wool of the same grade and condition In London und In iho United Stntes during the pust twenty- five years , Iho llmo covered by our high pro- leolivo tarllt on wool , und thut those figures showed that American wool was worth til per ' -cnl moro on Iho average thnn Iho came grade of wool was worth in London. This statement , I then pronounced , wus with out foundation in fact , and that il wus made fnr political and partisan purposes. I staled nt Jacksonville , nnd I repeat , umt thuofllcial statistics furnished iho commitlco ot ways und means during the lust session bv the re publican ofllcluls of the government showed tlmt the same grudo nnd condition of wool In the United Stales had sold for more thun one-fourth ot 1 cent a pound less average in the United Status Ounng the past twentj- Qvo years than in London.
