When we consider these provisions of the bill in connection with our long northern frontier and the boundaries of our States and Territories. often but an imaginary line separating them from the British Dominion and recall the friendly intercourse between the people who are neigbbors on either side. the provisions of this bill affecting them must be regarded as illiberal. narrow. and unAmerican.

Let me remind my good friend from Alabama that it will take more than he can say. and more than a Democratic theory. to convice the laboring people or the business people or any other commonsense class of citizens of the United States that the Republican party is not the progressive. doing. active. and wideawake party for and of the people of this country. The recent tariff law is the best tariff law that was ever passed.
