member Of tho Cabinet. In further recog-
milton Of that industry in which 26,000, 900
OF our people are engaged and which is
the basis Of all our wealth and prosperity,
i made new and liberal appropriation Of
S75, 600 for "crop reports" which had been
OF such value to Ohio and other States,
which adopted this wise measure to secure
10 the farmer the just rewards Of his labor.
There has been much said as 10 the river
and harbor bill, but on this the two parties
stood almost exactly equal. In the House
theyote TO pass it over the Presidents veto
was l92. or this number "a were Repub.
licans, or G6 per cent Of the whole Repub.
lican vote, and 50 were Democrats, or GO
per cent OF the whole Democratic vote.
[ Laughter ]
To sustain the veto l voted with % other
Republicans and 2S Democrats.
In the Senate Is Republicans and o3
Democrats voted to pass Il over the veto,
and ~ Republicans and Democrats voted
TO sustain the veto.
So that it will not do for our Democratic
friends 10 claim any advantage in this
measure, whether it was good or bad, for
as Senator Thurman said the other day,
the parties united on this OH the broad
platform Of the old flag and large appro.
priations.
One Of the most important measures that
will claim the attention OF the next Con.
gress is the protection Of American in.
dustry. Can you trust with power that
party which is pledged both in Congress
and in convention to the destruction OF the
protective system, and the prostitution OF
our great industries? for that is what Il
tariff for revenue has always done. Dur.
ing the session just closed, when the Tariff
Commission bill was before the House, on
the 7th OF May lust, Mr.. Mills, of Texas,
moved to recommt the bill 10 the Com.
mittee on Ways and Means with instruc.
tions TO report back bill based OH tue
Robert ]. Walker tariff OF 1916. Seventy.
five Democratic members OF the House,
voted for this proposition. Many OF you
remember the effect OF that ruinous meas.
ure, vastly increasing Our imports, destroy.
ing. our manufactures, prostrating our in.
dustries till it ended in the great panic OF
1851, when President Buchanan himself
said, in his message Of that year, that thou.
sands Of laborerS were reduced to want.
The Republican party has established
and maintained for 20 years that protection
under which our agricultural and manu-.
featuring industries have attained such
mighty proportions that they have become
the marvel OF the world. But the highest
triumph OF this system is the benefit and
elevation OF the citizen, for US Garfield well
said, at is our glory that the American
laborer is more intelligent aud better paid
than bis foreign competitor" Applause. !
The Republican party stands pledged to
vindicate the rights OF voters in the South.
That pledge has been redeemed in the
present Congress. Have you not, within
few months, seen the whole legislation Of
the country brought to a deadlock to
shield the tissue ballot and the riilt.club,
because single hour OF discussion would
expose the outrnges whereby whole States
had been rited from the ballot.box, and
the highest rights OF freeman trampled in
the dust under the bloody and brutal feet
OF might and murder. Our crowned rule
is the popular will and a fraudulent ballot
poisons our source Of power and of Justice
and aims at the very lie OF our sovereign
and our system.
When the convention OF this district met
two years ago We were just entering on n
great National contest. The wonderful
leader who was then our standard-bcarer-
one OF the egrandest men who ever irod the
highways Of power-broad M Webster
brave NJ Custer, stainless rs Washington
and tender as Lincoln-has been borne to
his deathless rest, while the world is uncoy
cred and mourning. But the principles Of
his party, 50 dear to his great heart, will
not and cannot die. That party, like the
Nation iisell, has perpetual succession;
not in line OF rulers like n
dynasty, but in the line OF its masses,
The party which gave TO the country and
the world Lincoln and Garfield is still 10.
day the party to which the people turn
with abiding trust for guidance and safety.
1t still goes forward in it's grand uncor,.
pleted work, with these illustrious exam.
Piles to light its pathway Of power. lis
character is written in its history. Its
record, full OF grand achievements and
American glory, is its great, understandable
platform. lis triuimphs are the results OF
an irrepressible conflict Of social, moral
md political forces, md they Represent
those which conquered and survived.
Democratic theories embody those which
the people have condemned and beaten.
II the Republican party is true 10 itself, the
coming contest will bring it another VIC,
tory.
The columns are already forming. Ore
gon is in the lead. Maine is now coming
into line. Ohio will Join them in October.
and the party which rescued the country
in its hour Of peril shall still guide it in i,s
great cause. Great applause.
