A loss of over four hundred and kftY millions
in the last decade.
Mr.. Hateh.-This statement iReIudes farm
vasaes, improvements, stock and farming implc-
msnts. They include the entire capital and
wealth of the farmers Of those states. And
Pennsylvauia, the mosi favored Of all the states
under the present ystsm. with her myriad OF
highly protected industries. her unexampled
accumulation of wealth in the hands of favored
classes her long roll OF millonaires laid tho iron
hand of protection upon her farmers, and IN the
name of "American industriss robbed the
agrIcultarists of sos, ,sS1, $40 in the decade be-
tween 1870 and 1880. and it ID atill going on in
an increased ratio.
What picture the little state Of New Hamp-
shire cuts in this table, the state that was 50
extolled by my friend Mr.. Gallingerl. He
| held it up in contrast with southern states and
showed how much more money they were
making than could possibly be made in the
agricultural states Of the sonth. How, then,
stands New Hampshire in this race? In 1850
the aQricnlturalists Of that state had value of
$66 4S2 02s; IN 1860. $50 2s7 400; in 1870, $685.

000, 600, having only sSs, 7l5.693.
Now il this System Of protective tariff piles up
this immense amount OF money, which has been
stated, in the New England and ether mazu-
featuring states, ask again, who geta It'll A

his history OF Alexander Hamilton, the manu-
facturer aloue gets IT, But they say 10 US in
the west, if you will simply build up manu-.
factories and diversity ysur industries you will
d grew rich as We do. But my friends, we do not
want to grow rich a. YOU do. Public sentiment
in the west is upon niger plane than robbing
one portion of ifs own people to enrich another
portion. EApplause.1 Whenever yoa devise Q
system of taxation that will bear equally upon
all the people Of the west then we vsnt to sup.

The gentleman frum Indiana (Mr. Cheadle)
