HEPBURN TALKS UP TO COCKRAN
In remarks attributed to Elijah Lewis the speaker criticizes legal technicalities that shield criminals and urges liberal construction of criminal statutes in federal courts. He argues for stronger enforcement and warns against pure free trade while praising protective tariffs and the Dingley law revisions to shield American labor and capital. The speech ties tariff policy to national political timing ahead of May adjournment and looming conventions.
