HOosER CITIZENS
a large delegation Of citizens from Jen
nings county, Ind, paid their respects to
Gen Harrison last Saturday. In his re
marks to them he spoke upon the surplus
It's Use and reduction
You have said to me that you favor the doc
trne of protection The Republican PARTY
stand, for the principle Of protection. We
believe in the preservation Of the American
market for our American producers and
workmen. Applause and cries Of "That's
10. We believe that the development Of
home manufacturers tends directly to pro.
mote the interests Of agriculture by fur
ui-hiug a home market for the products Of
the farm and thus emancipating our farmers
from the transportation charges which they
must pay when their products seek distant
markets. Applause.
We are confronted now with treasury
surplus. our position is exceptional. We
are not seeking, us many other nations are,
new subjects Of taxation, new sources Of
revenue. Our quest is now wisely to reduce
our national revenue. The attempt has
been made to use this surplus as IA lever 10
nverturn the protective system. The pro
motors of this scheme while protesting
desire to diminish the surplus, have acted
10y opposing necessary and legitimate ap-
preparations. agree that there is danger
that surplus may promote extravaganza,
but do not find myself in sympathy with
that policy that denies the appropriations
necessary for the proper defense Of our PEG
pie and for the convenient administration
Of our public affairs throughout the country
in order that the threat of a surplus may
be used for a sinister purpose. | believe
that in reducing our revenues to the level
of our needful and proper expenditures, we
can and should continue to favor and pro
tect our own industries do not like to
Intrust this work 20 those who declare pro
trctlve duties to be "legalized robbery "
The Republican party has by its legislation
shown its capacity wisely 10 reduce our
revenues and at the same time tn preserve
the American system. Applause. 1t can
bee trusted to do the work that remains aud
to do it wisely. Applause
