would have tecn paid the same number Of
laborcrs In 1851 under the Democratic system.
In 1851, the manufactured products of the
country realized little over 81 O0l.01OOO0,
whereas to-day, under protective tariff, the
return amounts 10 S5,OOlO0O0OO. Such has
been the growth of the country in wealth un.
der Republican rule.
But the Democrats reply-or rather, Broth.
or Hendricks eplles, for he is tho only man
on the ticket who says anything: 1T Is not
the Republican Administration that has done
this. II is due to the fertility of the soil ano
to tho intelligence and energy of the Amer.
ican people," General Logan said he would
agree that this was partly the cause, but II
was only part. Under the Democratic idea OF
would have had no manufacturers. but would
have been buying from England to-day as we
were In 1850, when we had TO pay four prices
for their manufactured articles in the pro
ductibn OF whlohwo could not compete. Take
steel rails as an illustration. We paid England
$l45 and $3.50 per ton for steel rails. while now
every railroad In the country can get steel
rails for $3.50 per ton from American mills.
The speaker added that the manufacture OF
steel springs and trimmings for carriages
was unknown In this country prior to 1851,
while to-day single State manufactures a
greater quantity Of carriage materials than
all England and France together. Would the
Democrats contend that this result was ut.
trlbutable TO the fertility of the soil or would
they admit that protective tariff by increas-
ing ,ae duty on sSe springs ETC. had en-
carriage made exclusively of American ma
terial could be bought for less money than a
like article coes in Europe. The watch in the
manufactured within twenty miles OF his
home for SIS, and an additional eonsidera-
ton Is that money Is kept Mt home and not
sent abroad for these purchases.
General Logan NEXT asserted that English
support and sympathy with the Confederates
IN the rebellion was because OF the free trade
section In the Confederate Constitution
which provided that no tax or tarir should be
levied lev, a. to foster any Industry or no bonus
the Democrats had put In their platform OF
to-day Almost the identical language OF the
Confederate Constitution. and this had been
done under Southern dctation. England now
sympathilod with the Democratic party as
she did with the Confederates, because OF the
belief that Democratic success will open a
market for her products. The three Demo
cratic raids upon the tariff. the Wood bill, the
original Morrison bill, and the horizontal
Morrison bill OF last winter. which proposed
twonty per cent reduction, had alarmed the
capitalists OF tho country, and compelled
tnem to withhold Investment In manufactur-
m Ind hae q esl 81.
Of the Government IL Il for this reason that
to-day.
After commenting upon his assumption
that there was nothing covert or ambiguous
In Republican principles or legislation, and
contrasting this with the alleged fact that
free trade was avowed by the Democrats In
certain localities particularly In the South,
and disolaimod by others IN strong protection
dhtricts, General Logan oontended that the
real sentiment OF tho Democratic party was
manifested In their National Convention
where every man who ever suggested the idea
or q declaration for protection was laughed
sud Missed out OF Iountenance. In answer to
the charge that the Republican party WIS
running the country by holding s4O0000,0OO
surplus IN the Treasury, he. explained that

were special deposits by corporations or who
ever i may be, for which certificates known

terest on called bonds that have not been pro-
eented. OF tho whole amount, therefore,
s2iO,yOO,OOOis is practically In circulation among
the people.
In answer TO the charge that the Republican
party had given away public lands he asserted
that the land-grant policy was inaugurared by
the Democrats, and unfortunately for Mr.
Hendricks, who made the charge, the fact was
on record that he never failed 20 vote for q
land grant when he was in Congress. Refer.
ring 20 Democratic declaration In favor OF a
free ballot and fair count, the speaker con-
tinued: II hope they are IN favor OF them
now. have not known them 20 favor them
heretofore. IL they are sincere in that there
Is no trouble about the election. II they will
permit free ballot and fair count in tho
southern States. the Democratic party can
not carry a single one of those States
Mississippi has to-day a colored population
that is nearly treble that OF the whites,
while nearly q third OF the whito population
are Republicans. Now Will any Democrat tell
mo that those colored people vote the Demo
cratic ticket IL is only by so counting their
votes that large Democratic maioritics are So
cured. All kinds OF devices are employed 10
