produced manufactured arlcles to tue value of $S.6l5, ,19j. In 1880 it amounted to SIG, ,73S,O ,OOS. In 1880 Louisiana man ufactured products to the value of Sl5,- 5S7, ,473 In 1880 1t amounted 70 S24,- 205, ,1S3 In 1860 Missouri manufactured articles to the value of S4l,7S2, ,73l. In 1880 it had increased to the enormous sum of Sl6j, ,:3S6, ,2O5. Our own new Ter. ritory also comes in for a share of the increase. Iu 1860 Arizona had no nhnu- factures, but in 1870 we had eighteen manufacturing establishments SlJO.- 7O0 capital invested; Si emplOyinees; SIj, ,5SO paid in wages, and the value of the manufactured productswas Sloj,- 40. In 1880 we had 66 manufacturing establishments; S272, ,6G0 capital invest ed: 220 employees; Slll.1S0 paid in wages, and the value of the manufac- tured products was S6lS3G5.
 The total value of all manufactured products in the United States in lSGO was Sl, ,SSj, ,S6l .67J, and in 1880 20 years later under Republican rule and pro tectiye taTiff) 1t had risen to the stupen- dous sum of Sj,369, ,j79, 191. This is an iL. crease of about 19O per cent. Tn 20 years, and an annual increase of about 91s per cent. Some idea may be formed of the magnitude of these figures when 1t IS considered that the value of manufac- tured products of this country at the present time amount annually to one tenth of the entire value of all the prop erty of every kind whatsoever in the na- tiOn. But this is not all. The entire value of all the agricultural products raised ID the country in 1879 and sold and consumed, and on hand at that pe- riod amounted to S2,2l3, l02, ,J64, while the manufactured products amounted to S5,369. .j79, ,19l. That IS to say, the manufactured products of this country at that period exceeded all the Ggricul- tural products S9i2, ,774, ,063, more than twice the value of the entire produce of the soil Is it any wonder then with such facts before us that England should become alarmed at the future of her manufactures in com petition with American skill and enterprise. Is 1t not rather astonishing that a once proud political party which claimed Thomas Jefferson as tine father of its principles and Andrew Jackson as its chief, should in these degenerate days of its existence be found Tn league with a foreign na- tion, plotting the overthrow of American industry?
 This, fellow citizens, is the record. Look on this picture and then on that" It is plain, palpable and concise. It IS so clear and explicit that hewh0 Iuns may read, and the wayfaring man, even though he be a Democrat, need not err therein. And yet, when We present such an exhibit, unparalleled in the history of governments, We are met with the cry of corruption, fraud and reform. | New York city, with its colossal debt of | S1lj,0OO,OCO Is the Republican reply to l Democratic reform. The immense debt | of nearly every State in the Union. in- 1 cured in crushing out the great rebel | lion is the Republican reply tO Demo | cratic reform. And last, but DCt | least, the desertion of the nation at the | close of Buchanan's administration, | barl rupt, and S90,UOO.OOO in debt is the | reply to Demo cratic reform. |

The Re publican party stands fearlessly upon it's own record. It fears no examlnation. but courts investigation. It knows and feels that such achievements only grow brighter by criticism, and more power iul by comparison with the infiuitesimal of Democratic results.
 This, ID brief, fellow citizens, is the history of the two parties. Who will now say "rurn such rascals out" and Put such rascals in."
 No, fellow citizens, the Republican party has accomplished great work, but t' period of usefulness has not yet passed lwBy. Having saved the nation from disgrace, and brought 1t to a position of wealth and grandeur, its work will not be concluded until equal md exact justice Is done to all men. Until the purity of the American franchise shall he recognized as the palladium of American liberty. Until 'very citizen, be he great or small, at nome or abroad, shall find his surest protection beneath the ample folds of he starry flag. Until American in- lustries are placed beyond the influence f British gold or domestic avarice. |, Until the public faith Is redeemed by he honest payment of the national .ebt, and until peace, harmony and raterni;y shall exalt the American lame to the pnnacie of glory and re- town. Until these are accomplished the Re ubliean party will stand as firm as ad- mantine rock and as endurable as the | .yramid of Cheops, holding Tn its invul- erable hand,
 "A weapon that comes down as still
 Az snow flakes fall upon tho sod
 But executes a frecmun's Wil.

 And from its force nor doors nor lOcks
