r the mourners. am very,glad to have my
+. Democratic friends here; want to talk
I TO them. Applause and cries Of "tarif. y
want to show them why they should

and renewed cries OF "tariff; give us
tarif." Iam going to give you tariff
, plenty OF tariff. am going TO show you
that because you want plenty OF high
tariff, you are going to vote for Benja.
min Harrison for President. Applause
And because yoG are in favor OF pro-
tective tariff, you are going to vote for

ernor. [Applause.l lam protective
tariff man. | believe in protective
tariff. believe it has made my coun-
try great believe it has made my flag

[Applause. ! believe, then, in high
protective tariff l have voted for q high
protective tariff. would not change

Now, what is the tariff Voice, "a
taxi
1t Is not a tax, and am going to prove
it. [Applausel lisa duty by the gov
ernment upon articles manufactured IN
u foreign country and brought into this
country for sale.
What is protective tariff?
| II is only where duty so laid is sui
Gcicntly high to protect the manufac-
turing establishments and the labor OF
this country from the manufacturing
establishments and the labor OF the Old
World. Voice, "The Mills bill does
that."l No; it don't do that; it puts
many articles on the free list.
Now, what is tariifforrevenue only +?
1t is duty SO LAID or imposed for the
purpose oi bringing revenue into your
treasury only; utterly ignores the man
ufacturing establishments and the labor
OF this country. 1t brings revenue, and
n surplus from revenue, but it brings
sadness and no surplus to the homes OF
my country. [Applause. Hence i is
that | favor u protective tariff. Why
should the man over the sen have the
markets of the United States? What in
terest has he in you? Does he pay any
taxes here in Wheeling? Does he help
to pay for your public buildings in Ohio
county? help to keep up your bridges
aud roadsP Show me where his taxes
help you. Laughter and applause.
You labor all day, all week, all year, and
your money is taken and paid into your
State and county treasury to keep up
your government. Does the man over
there help you, or notP No. When your
nation is in trouble--When nations de-
clare war upon you, does he declare in
your favor, and march under the banner
OF your fathers? No; he marches under
the banner brought against this Coun-
try. Then should that man have your
market? II that man wants to sell in the
United States articles manufactured
abroad, say, before he can do so, he
must pay tariff duty. There is where
we make him pay his part OF the bur
den.

-more railroads constructed-it steel
ails were on the free list. Steel rails
are cheaper to-day than ever before In
the history Of the country. When you
had no :ariif duty they cost 500 tom;
they are S2S to-day. How do you like
that? They put the duty on steel rails,
and down, down, down went the steel
rails, and up, up, up went the manulac'
turing establishments OF Americl.
Down, down, down went the price OF
steel rails, and labor everywhere in the
United States found employment at
good wages. Applause.l Prices went
down and manufacturing establishments
went up; they went on building more
railroads, and we have been building
them for the past fifteen years by virtue
OF that cheap rail. What do steel rails
cost here to-day? You can buy them in
Liverpool to-day at $50 per ton; the
transportation, and the commission, and
the profit is estimated by merchants at
S, that would make $25. The import
duty is $l7; $25 and Sl7 is Sl2. How
many tons do you want at SeS2 Laugh.
