Extracts from His Speeches Made During
His Ohio Trip.
At Toledo: The Republican party has
governed the country for twenty -four years
in the spirit and according to the measures
of a broad nationality. The progress under
our government in that spirit has far tran
scendtd oil the progress made in all the
prev ious years of the Nations history. To
remand the government now to the control
of our opponents, who do not believe in
the consttutionality of the measures
which have given this progress, would be n
step backward into the dark. II
There is not ore great measure that the Re-
publican party has adopted, nor one great
step the party has taken since the Inaugural
ton of Abraham Lincoln in 1861, that the
Democratic party has not opposed and has
not considered unconstitutional. So that
to-day to remand the government of tho
United States to the control Of the Democ-
racy is not merely an ordinary change of
parties 1t is total reversal Of the entire
policy thai has distinguished the government
of the United States since 1861.
WORDS TO YOUNG MEN
At Columbus: The giants Of mythol-
ogy typifed the strength of young
men. In the enlightened era of the Chris
tan dispensation young men were called to
the work because thev were strong. To-day
the strength of the Republican party is in
the young men of the country, Of whom
It. possesses vast majority. [Cheers. |
The young man is always good for two
votes-his own and the ore he brings.
[Cheers.] No party in the history OF this
country was ever beaten that bad the sym
patty and support OF the yourg men of the
country. [Cheers ] And it has been the
chief eradication of tour which | haye

THE PROTECTIVE TARIFF.
At Massillon: In a procession of our polit-
zeal opponents at Youngstown, recently.
there appeared man aud woman in rags and
ton. "This is what protection has done for
u.s." [Derisive laughter. This was intended to
typtfy and denounc. the results of protection
in Ohio.

ture In Ohio to-day there are 1000 manu-
f curing establishments. They cost $500
100000, and they turn out annually "a

results of that investment. | observe

PROTECTION FOR FARMERS.
Steadily as the acrcul ural states become
settled, msnufac ures follow. Indiana and
Illinois and Michigan are coming on rapidly
after Ohio. Iowa, Kansas and Minnesota
will come along in due time, the result being
that the protective policy now upheld by the
Republican party operates so as to carry
manufactures into every stste and ultimately
luto every county III the Union 1T never
was designed that one part OF the country
should be permanently agricultural and the
other part manufacturing, but it was de.

THE DEMOCRATIC POLICY.
If this industrial system, which combines
the highest elements of human prosperity by
uniting the agricultural al the manufacture
ing interests, is worth preserving, you should
not forget that our political opponents have
never failed in the last fifty-one years-never
since 1888, when they1had the power in con-
gress-ether to repeal the protective tariff IL
one existed, or try to repeal II, or to prevent
The enactment OF such tariff. In other
words, siics 1888 the Democratic party 10
congress hrs never sustained by its vote a
pro ective ttriff, not once. A voice: "Au
it never wil."I
EXPLODING A MISSTATEMENT.
We are met with the accu alton that a
prot ctive tariff Injuries the commerce of the
country. That is more frequently made in
the East than in the West The answer to IL
is, that siuce the protective tariff wasenacted
in 1861 the exports from the United States
have been vastly greater In amount and
value than all the exports from the first
settlement OF an English colonist Oh
this continent down 10 the inaugu
ration of President Lincoln. [Great cheering |
| think that Ia worth repeating. ["Yesm
"Yesl Y Ii you take every export that
was ever made from the territory which no W
constitutes the United States from the time
of the settlement at Jamestown aud st
Plymouth Rock I'm 1907 and 1920 clear down
to 1860, and add them together, they fail
by several Thousand million dollars 10 he as
great in amount as our exports from 1861 to
his time Renewed cheering.I SO that the
assertion that the protective tariff binders
the development of the commerce of the
country lie not only disprovtd by the facts,
but directly the contrary is true for agricul-
ture and manufactures AID commerce go
maud in hand--were designed TO 20 hand In

bound together, make up the strength of
national prosperity.
