1880, it was three thousand two hundreds
millions of dollars. In other wOrG-, under
twenty years of protective tariff you ad-
ganced in wealth double the whole amount
that you had acquired in all the previous
history of your State. Do you wish now
to give it up? C"No, no; eare not going
tor There is not conspicuous speaker
in Ohio to-day. representing the cause OF
our opponents, who is not hostile to pro-
tective tariff. There is no speaker of any
kind, representing the Republican party,
who is not in favor of protective tariff. The
issue, therefore is broad and distinct be-
tween the two parties Distinct as APP
piled to the domestic policy, and equally
distinct as applied to the foreign policy.
What we want is great, broad, peaceful
American policy, increasing our trade with
our neighhOrs and strengthening the bonds
of an enduring friendship of all countries
of America This will open great outside
market for the manufacturing industries
of Ohio and other States instead of invit-
ing the manufacturer from abroad to COM
pete with ours at home. The Republican
party proposes to seek distant market for
cur own manufactures. That ls-ue is SO
distinct that you cannot mistake it, and it
is so distinct that | cannot make it palmer
by argument. Decision rests with you, and
| believe it is safe in your hands. (Tu-
multuous and long continued cheering.)

No, no. For myself, am only of import
ance because l represent those who answer
as you do, "No, no." Cheers, loudly. l
