Impress npsn your minds. want you to
take two epoehs 10 the history Of Ohio.
Take the Grs, the year 1860. Your State
was then about 60 years old II was 73
years then from The time Ohio was al
organized part Of the Northwestern terri.
terry In those ~ years OF territorial and
State e,isteBce the citizens OF Ohio bad
accumulated wealth 10 the amount OF
eleven hundred millions Of dollars. Uni.
ted States census of 1860 shows tha, the
fetal wealth Fl Ohio was then little over
81, loo. 000. 900. avery large sum Of money.
| In 1861 the industrial and financial policy
| Of the Uait~d States was changed by the
| incoming OF the Republican party and in
consequence OF that change protective
tariff was enacted which has been ever
since in force In 1880, twenty years after,
another census was taken and IL was fonud
that tho aggregate wealth Of Ohio bad IN
creased from 81 100. 0e0, 900 TO 50. 800 600.
600. You had added to that wealth IN
those twenty years double as much as had
been created IN 73 years preceding. You
had added upon an average Sl00, 1000, 900
per year 10 the permanent capitalized
wealth Of your State and that was largely
done by virtue Of and in pusuancs Of the
effect Of protective tariff upon the labor
and industries Of your State. Do you
want that TO continued Eyes, yesl Doyou
want any experiment tried upon it? mo,
MOI Why look at wha. has been the effect
simply Of the Morrison tariff bill. They
did not get II through the House OF Rep.
resentatives even but they kept the coun.
try in turmoil and agitation and thus af'
fected ingonisusly the interest OF every
laboring man and every capitalist OF the
United States. DO you want to organize
not merely q change in the tariff for that
might DO defeated, but also to organize a
perpetual congressional agitation of that
question? mo, no. II you do not, the
matter is in your own hands. Ohio has
the power to com mand that il shall not be.
You have the power to join in that com
land aud an opportunity will be given
you on the l4th OF October, through your
individual ballots. Cheers.
In his short visit to West Virginia Mr..
Blaine made several short speeches, his
first on Southern sail. He tsld the South
ern people some solid truths. which they
will do we'll to ponder, The Republican
policy OF protection is getting to be quite
as beneficial to the South as it is to the
North and II is time that eur Southern
neighbors awaken to the fact that q sec.
ton OF the country which depends al
most entirely upon agriculture for its
prosperity will always lose in the race with
other sections Of the country where &C.
cupations arc diversified. II the South
would encourage manufactures and the
prosperity resulting from them it can
do no better than TO heed the words Of
Mr.. Blaine. Wequote one OF his speeches
given in West Virginia:
Citizens Of West Virginia-As your dis.
chairman has intimated, am

known it personally for more than 40 years
but do not see before me the West yir.
qinia which knew in my boybood The
West Virginia Of 40 years ago was CON.
wilderness. Mr.. Blaine cited
figures TO show the increase in population
and wealth ef the state, and continued:
From the close of the war to the year 1880
West Virginia had gained IN wealth the
enormous sum OF S225, 100000. You have
Jared pretty we'll, therefore, under Repub-
lican administration. daughter and cheers
