tariff ever since. The protective tariff |
was enacted in 1924, when it was adjus-
ted for the protection of our manufac-
tories, then in their infancy. A tariff Ell |
ther for revenue or protection never |
brought prosperity TO any land. While it |
may protect and foster certain interests
there Is far less protection to manufac-
ture by the tariff, as it now Is than by
revenue tariff they pay more OH raw
material than the protective tariff bene-
fits them. We will always have a tariff.
Don't imagine us such fools as to resort
to direct axation a system that would
sweep us out Of power IN half day.
There will always. be differences in both
parties on the tariff question, as IL Is one
affected by sections and sectional inter-
eslS. ...I,g.ud ..a5,.. .i.. ~
"" PERCEPTIBLE DIFFERENCE.
In 1842, said the Senator, when the
tariff was for protection, was engaged
in farming. sent that year my first
crop of corn to Baltimore, and received
only thirty three cents per bushel for
it. In 1916, under a revenue tariff, l
received one dollar per busfel. Zap
plause.] merely refer to this to show
that it is not the adjustment OF tariffs
that build up the country.
The Republican party say the Demo-
Gratis want 10 destoy the prosperity
which they brought about. They
know that none of their measures pro-
duced the prosperity we now enjoy.
John Sherman said resumption caused
1t, but even the Republicans did not
believe this, and they did not give
John the nomination at ChioagO. 1t
was Providence that caused the pros
perity-the economy of the people aud
the bountiful crops that enabled us to
supply the wants of foreign lands.
Reverses are bound to come, said the
Senator, in closing this subject, whether
business is stimulated by the tariff or
not, but what we want is general
policy, which will give ample protec-
tion 10 all aud special favors to none.
[Applause.
THE CANDIDATES.
In conclusion Senator baulsbury
contrasted the Presidential candidates
of the two great parties. Mr.. Garfield,
he said, was man of unquestioned IN
tellectual power and superior ability.
But he has not the moral courage to be
true to his own convictions, and fl
elected President he would simply be
the tool of ConklinP, Logan and other
radical spirits Of the party, bound to
obey their behests. .
HANCOCK.
But our mans devotion to the coun.
| try has been illustrated on the field ol
battle. We have known Winfield
Scott Hancock there the audience went
into wild round of fapplause that last
ed for several minutes] for years as a
brave soldier, ready to defend the
Union against any foe, but in times o.
peace to yield the sword to the power
of the civil law. His famous order No
40 proves that he possesses the essen
tiai principles of liberty, while his let
ters show him to be q great statesman
as we'll as great soldier. When he il
elected President of the United Statei
you will see peace and prosperity pre-
vail all over this land. Great ap-
plause.
1t is our great interest, said the Sena
tor, finally, to keep the government
of Delaware in the hands of the Demo
cratic party. If the Republicans sue
ceed, they will have to elevate the col
ored men to office and position, as they
comprise the controlling element Of
their party. Let us always treat the
colored men kindly, but determine
that they shall never be our masters
With this sentiment the Senator
closed, and he took his seat amid a
great burst of applause. His remarks
throughout had been received with
splendid enthusiasm, and made the
audience more demonstrative than any
that has yet gathered during this cam
paign. The audience was delighted
with the Senator, and the Senator wai
pleased with the audience.
A VOICE FROM PENNSYLVANIA.
Mr.. Hayes next introduced Robert
Emmett Monaghan, ESQ.,, of West
Chester, Pa, as "the gentleman who
heads the Hancock Electoral ticket Of
PENNSYLVANIA" AS if in expectation
of the glorious treat that awaited them
the audience received Mr.. Monaghan
with a generous burst of applause.
Mr.. MONAGHAN said he had but once
before spoken in Wilmington, but ht
did not feel like a stranger, but neal
neighbor, as the States of Pennsylva-
MA and Delaware were closely connec
tad by historical events. Our interests
are also identical in many respects.
What gives prosperity to one coun
ty in your State, speads to every Other
county, and whatever prospers ont
State affects every other State in the
whole country.
Tho slavery question has been set
tied, the currency question has beer
settled, and now the tariff question il
under way. There are two ways oi
raising money in this country-by a
tariff OF by direct tax. The Demo
cratic party has put its stamp of con
demnation upon direct taxation, anC
the only thing left is tariff for reve
nue. and If it brings incidental protec
tion, all right. The Democratic party
favors a tariff for revenue with inoi
dental protection, and other party
favors tariff for protection, with in
cidental revenue.
There is no worse enemy to the
manufacturers than those who dras
his business into politics.
We will never prosper as long as w
make business football to put men II
office. We have no worse enemies thar
men who make political capital out 0
