firmly ard inilexibly upon the platform
OF the Chicago Democratic Convention
lie had never had any public record on
this question, but had always considered
it one oil vital importance. lie would moi
bore his audience with details. lie read
the Democratic plank on the tariff, and
said it was substantially the same
clause rs the Republican on the
same subject. He never saw any
matter OF principle in the question except
the constitutional provision in reference
to revenue. The circumstances when
lialncs, Webster, Calhoun and others
argued the tariff and now are widely diff.
lerent. Now it is necessary TO raise many
times the revenue then required, and
consequently Il tariff now sufficient for
revenue requirements must afford pro-
lection. We're he elected to Congress he
could not ignore the manufacturing inter-
csts OF Wheeling, the thrift and pros

" that l., ii elected your representative

Democratic platform, to fully and unhesi-
tatlnsly protect all your industries?"
After leaving the tariff, the Republican
party was arraigned for the crimes usually
lad ut its doors by Democratic orators, in
Gliding the squandering OF the public
