or ship, or car for your commerce. Why
we have all the raw material IN tins couI-

why do You want to go to yonder toubtry'
and Get that other fellows 8? Why not manu-
f.ctnrs your ownP Employ little OF your
own labor to n anufacs this raw mater iA.
But they gay if you will give us tnis
raw material, we will run our MILLS anu
our manufactures, and 60 cus on the sea
snd capture the markets Of the world.
THAT'S WHAT WE Re AFIEh.
The markets of the world are Whist the
Dsmocratic party wants. That ID SWEEP
sounding Phrase -''markets of the world.

going to sell in the marFes OF .ne VIZ .ha
unless you 60 doWnto the ltvel Oh Ins
wages that the people over tnere get.
Whenever you can capture the maj Xets "
the world, you have eca:ed down yeui
wage, to the rate over there. VINO VIII
deny that? My Democratic friend Will not
deny IT, NY Republican brother VIII NOT
want TO deny it. If you do you will nave
n po 10 TIE Democratic party, and you
will never get thare with the leave OF the
Republican party. They say that pio.ec-
ton isnot what is making yonr wages
HIGHER. wonder if there lisa working man
before me believes that?
wonder at the lab oring man in making
out his scale of wages or making OUT his
card, why they always calculate wna1
thfy can get; il the tariff has nothing to 90
with it, why do they always take tue
tariff into consideration? The fact 10 TINS,
the labor organ z,tions of the country, the
laboring pt o ole of the country know this
to he fact, know that the tariff does AID
and assist them, and the manufacturer
knows it is what enables lin to keep up
his establishment, and the laborer gets the
benefit of it. The tariff with tie diff :rent
iabr orgariza lions OF this country keeps
wages where they are to-day. Strike cut
the tariff and lei me see laoorltg
men or organizations KEEP up
the scale. Aud then they say that
wages are SO chsap across the sea,
because the people Of Belgium, in Erg.
land, in Spain, in France, are ovsrcrowded
over there. There are so many psopls
over there hunting work that when job
comes alcpg thers are 80 many OF these psc-
pie anxious to do it, they will do 1t very
cheap. But, isn't it wonderful rslief to
Won that my Democratic BROTHER proposes
to let the bars down and let all these tel.
lows in here with their manufactures? If
these p sople oye7 thera are 50 crowded,
ard you have tariff for protection. Whsre
will ycu 90 when you take down the bars
and have tariff for revenue only? Ap.
plause.
DID THE TARIFF DO 1T ALL?
All, nv friends, the tai if has wrought o
wonderful change in your country. 1t has
made a great change in West Virginia. It
hss made your State Whist 1t is to day.
Tn rty years ago last month I stood on the
mountain divides that now sep;rhe Viz
ginis FIRM West Virginia. l was school
boy on q school boys vacation. stood up
on that mountain top sfter hay
ing Travelled from tide wsttr, Virginia,
up by Piedmont on tina slope OF tie
q eat noun tains. Up there 1 60 ont Of
stte old numbering stage coach. 1 went to
the top of the highest country, above the
point of usual travel, and I looked back to
the sea coast. 1t was az grand a view as
mans eye ever gszed upon; as beautiful
a landscape as ever spread itself out. But
it Yves quiet as the grave. IturIed to the
setting SUP. I looked over that inter.
mirable wilderness where now ia West
Virginia. saw not the habitation of
man. saw not the evideIcs Of civiliza-
ton. 1 heard net the Eum of industry.
THREE weeks sga last Monday Istood on
that same spot. I went there with an
idle curiosity it may be, but with an ire
sistible 6esire to stard where l stood be-
fore. Hooked again over my old mother,
Virginia. I looked again down into " here
that beautiful heritage Gcd had given our
forefatters was. 1t was animation; it was
life. The iron horse was ploughing down
through southwestern Virginia; it was
laden with great trains of tomne;ce, hur-
dreds, aye, thousands of them. Iturrei
sgain to that little mountain State,
so dear to me, go dear to you. All
was life and animation. TIE great cane
of the New river was illuminst ID from be-
ginning to end. The great valley of the
Ksnswha was humming with industry.
Their faces were lighted with leaping
flames from furnae and oven. Ap-
rlause. In the valley tie spires and
steeples were rearing themselves upward
bsfo me. Were the wilderre was, |
found villsges, and towns, and manufac-
turing establishments. I saw the great
trains moving up and down the valley. I |
heard the hum of the great ministries |
