life, I know all about business men.
In my first parish at Belleville, New Jer-

that the ssme principle which protecis
them on the high prices of their labor
must also protect other men on the high
prices of their labor. {A voice, ¢ ‘That's
it,” and great applause.] Ca
These men are fond of harping upom
the idea that protection was originall
intended for the development of infant
industries. It isn’t the first time in the
nistory of the world that after a systems
was in successful operation it was found
to have virtues of which its founders
never dreamed. To-day we are not onl
in favor of fostering infant industries,
but we are in fauor of fostering and con-
tinuing existing industries, because we
have discovered that, to remove the bare
rier between us and the cheap labor of
Europe, is to cause a reduction of the
wages of our own laboring men and re-
duce them to their level over there [ap~
plause]; and, having discovered if, ni
sneersabout infant industriés will prevent
us from maintaining the barrier between
the condition, happy and prosperous, of
our people and the condition of people
beyond seas which makes them so glad
to seek our country. [Applause.]}
But, my friends, it is not necessary to
discuss these principles, it is not neces-
sary to reaffirm our belief in them. What
is necessary is for us to be up and doing
in the work. It is not sound principle,
but it is steady and active men behind
the sound principle, that lead on to the
victory we need to preserve ‘our country
for ourselves and our descendants. [Ap=
