that Ohio alone will more than supply the
deficiency of agricultural products in all
the manufacturing States. If the Gov.
he'd. previous to the penDiOg of his lecture

the subject, he would scarcely have had
the hardhood TO make such a statement
in the face of The facts-that of the 102

under the operation of the new tariff,
shows an increased demand for home
