MANNING TO THE RESCUE
Thanks to the measure of Daniel Manning

| the state of affairs when, well remember,
| it just touch and go whether
the President would not be obliged to summon
congress instantly for the purpose of prevent

were feared. But by anticipating portions of
| the sinking fund, and other methods which l
| shall not pretend here to describe to you, the
emergency and critical period was tided over.
PLENTY TO LAY BEFORE CONGRESS-.
There were plenty of things, my countrymen,
| that the President could have laid before
| congress There were interesting and import
| ant things in various departments.
Bot there was the treasury, the great bank
| ing house of the American nation, made so, as
think, by an unwiSe system of finance, but there
| it was, and knowing that the Qucs tion involved
| the deepest interests and practical, every day
| affairs of life that touched the humblest la
| borer, that touched the interest of the richest
| banker with its potential finger, he gave the
| sign of alarm and determined that the Ameri-
| can people should have but one question to
consider, and that should be the overmastering
| question of the hour. Applause. 1t was the
| fiscal question.
| THE MESSAGE.
He laid before you a message in which there
| is not q doubtful word 1t pointed out that
| there must be legislation in order to get rid of
| this surplus. Need show to you the dangers
| of the surplus depletion of the circulation of
| the country from the arteries and veins that il
| was intended to nourish and support

| to remedy its The common sense that is his
| guide told him that extreme measures or sud
den changes were dangerous, and that reforms,
| TO be safe, must always be gradual. He said
| labor suffers most and soonest from pecuniary
| disasters II cannot wait. The toll of every
day supplies the want of every day.
POVERTY CAN'T BORROW
No notes and long credits can be established
| by poverty upon futurity Therefore, he said
ct once give the people the necessares of life at
| cheaply as you can. Begin with their clothing
| and follow II to their food Go to your
| free list in your tariff. Strike down
| that silly barrier that keeps your workmen
| idle at home and protects their competitors
| in foreign markets. Now, here is the
fact my countrymen. The wall of tue
tariff that keeps commodities out
keeps manufactures within, and when they tell
YOU that they raise high tariff upon raw ma
teria for the protection OF American workmen,
my answer is they protect his rivals In every
