which it had been thrown by the R.puo-
lican party at the time OF the rebellion.

Republicans bad become almost az mncn

people would look beneath 1t they would

of u%urepentant treason.
The Democratic craft had now got q

foated the flag OF freedom; but turn
that banner over and you would see the

rARIrr AND TRADE.
But there were other reasons why the
government should not DO turned over
10 the Democrats. There were fuaacial
reasons and reasons OF national import
snce.
In 1873, for the frat time. the balance
OF trade turned in favor OF the United
States. It then amounted to Sl9.OOO.-
600. and had been increasing ever since.
EVERYBODY knew what that m~eant-that
We were sending abroad more goods,
wares and products than we were get
ting, aud that we were receiving pay In
gold and silver for the surplus. This Ia
because Of the protection given man
ufacturers to enable them to com.
pete with Europe. BY means Of
this protection and the invention OF
machinery we were sending to the
very marts Of Europe our productions.
We furnished Sheffield with cutlery and
Switzerland with watches, and sent OUT
manufactured products TO all parts Of
the civilized world; and all this was be.
cause OF the protection afforded to the
manufacturing interests OF our own
country. The system had always been
opposed by the Democrats. 1t had been
advocated by the Wings and taken up
BY the Republicans. Now, With the
b.nifcsnt results OF this policy right be-
fore them the Democrats had. in their
national platform. declared in favor oil q
tariff for revenue only. This means
free trade. This is one Of the "doo.
trines aud traditions Of the Democratic
party" referred to in the same platform.
The effects were already apparent. 1t
came back to them from Ohio and lndi-
ana, and in November would result In o
glorious Republican triumph throughout
the entire North. The people were all
over focking to the Republican party.
for it had given them prosperity and
abundance.
Whom the Democrats came into power
Ave years ago they commenced at once
to make assaults on the tariff system.
This had been done in detail not in the
aggregate. They dare not strike o de-
cisiye blow at 1t, for they know the peo-
pie will not stand 1t.
Mr.. Daggett here explained how. when
In 1873 the balance OF trade turned In
our favor, Europe began sending home
our bonds. This had continued till OF
the whole taken in Europe about $685.
600. 900 only remained. Last year the
balance in our favor was size, OOO. O0O.
aud S75, 900, 900 in bonds only came
home, Now that the bonds are at
home, foreign countries must md gold
and silver to pay for what they get.
Already was the specie coming in. In Q
single week 5000, 200 had come. and
that but q short time ago.
Mr.. Dagse,t asked the people to con-
| slider the end OF this state OF public a.
fairs. We were feeding and almost
| clothing the world. The state OF Affairs
was unusual and unprecedented. The
whole world was paying as tribute, and
gold and silver was pouring in almost q
| million a day. What would Europe do
to supply this drain. It was for them
to find out, not for US to determine. We
could enjoy our prosperity undis,urbed,
and despite the Democratic party. for II
had come through the Republican party,
and the people would continue thai
party in power because Of 1t.
