Eight years ago there was disput,
In reference to who was elected Presi
dent of the United States, and a. ther,
was no such contingency provided fo
blythe Constitution, the Republicans an
pointed an Il lectoral Com mission to de
termine the question. This satisfie(
the people, but they called upon Con
Rress TO prov ide rome way by which, 1
such question should again arise, /
might be- settled, and while the Repub
licans had always been willing to pas
such an act, they had always been pre-
vented by the Democrats.
He spoke of the loss on the thousant
dollars collected under the differen
Presidents, and showed that under Re
publican administration the loss wa
only few mills OF the thousand dol
lars, while under Democratic admins
tration the amount ran up to dollars
and said that this showed thnt tn,
money collected by Republicans foupt
It's way into the treasury, and that thii
Government was conducted in q Better
manner than ever before.
1t might be said that the Republican
party had not turned Its attention Il
American industries and manufactures
and that brought him to the tariff, {
subject from which the Democrats
shrink. The Democrats do not lik,
to be called free traders, and In fact ht
did not know of any free traders
and he would call the m tariff reform
ers.
He gave several illustrations of the
tariff, and clearly showed that while Il
did not increase the price of goods
manu- factured in the United States, 1,
prevented foreign manufacturers send
ing their goods to this country and Ia
king away the money that is now dis.
tributtd among the workingmen In
every city, town, and hamlet in this
country.
He showed how by Improvements in
the manufacture Of steel the price had
been reduced, and said the cardinal
principle Of the free traders Is the re-
duction Of the price of labor. He knew
that the American people will never
submit to have their wages reduced by
legislation. 1t was all folly to say thai
IL wages were reduced 80 that they were
on . par with the workers Of Europe,
the price OF living would also be re-
duced, for experience has shown that
this Is not the feet
The Democrats talk great deal
about commerce, and say that 1t Is seri.
ously interfered with by the tariff. He
ad mitted that commerce was good
thing. a very excellent thing, but illus
trated the free traders idea with repre-
sentine n numb of farmers living in O
valley. alongside of q mountain, on
the other side Of which was . commu'
nifty of manufacturers. These people
interchanged their p rOducts, by means
Of wagons that carried the farmers
grain twenty miles across the noun
tains, and brought back the manufac-
turers' goods, but finally the farmers
induced some Of the manufactures to
move over on their side of the noun
tain, where they gave them some land,
assisted them to build workshops, and
then protected them in their enterprise.
In time some of the farmers moved
from the agricultural district over the
mountain, and commenced to till the
land to supply the manufacturers, and
the consequence was that what the fre'
traders call commerce was abolished
but the people on each side Of the noun
tain were better served than they evel
were before, and were not obliged to q
to the expense of aving their respective
products hauled across the mountain.
The American people have solved the
great paradox, how to pay the highest
wages, and yet to sell the manufactured
goods at less price han those made b.
foreign labor. The American working
men are more productive than any othe
people in the world more inventive ant
more industrious.
