rawlings Raw lines occupied the floor for some time he gave tha history of the tariff question from the days ct washington to the present time he claimed that more manufacturing industries dus tries were started under a policy of tariff for revenue only than ander a protective tariff the logic of such a claim however was not made clear he also referred to the respective of a strong central and a local self government buch a government as the re advocated was of course en too strong to suit him T said that he was a democrat because he thought democratic doctrines were for the best interest of the people democratic principles had always been advocated and would always be advocated he referred to the great political change ma place in utah and to lie despicable attitude taken by some of the

of the mckinley law president gash offered as an excuse that the audience was not larger the fact that there was a fir emens dance at the lake and a republican rally at alie fifth ward but on both of these points the gentleman was slightly mistaken the scarcity of applause was a notable feature of the evening Ma macaila caiLy as ft men listened to macaulay with respect weighed his arguments reflected on what he had said were often convinced sometimes converted but nowhere did crowds of eager listeners and ardent admirers bend beneath the music of his voice or the lightning glance of hisoye hi seye an old friend of mine recently dead who had often heard him and remembered him perfectly assured me however that be was a great power fifty years ago and he believed that his oratorical hardly received fall credit in those days macaulay himself said that one of his chief defects as a speaker was ida extraordinary rapidity of utterance which spoiled the effect of his words his speeches resembled carefully prepared essays delivered with incredible rapidity and some want of impressiveness rather than the spontaneous outburst of the orators full heart fluency and areat facility in finding the richt words are not an gain to the speaker appropriate pauses ana emphasis are even more important otherwise a torrent of words lacks impresa ivaness then the management of the voice counts for very much A speech that flows on like a rope unwound from a cylinder is not a good one again to be successful a speech must be enlivened with anecdotes or enmor people can always read for solid instruction but a platform speaker must amuse and please rather than teach Gent lemans magazine |
