tariff duty on manufactured articles? /
imagine, my brothers, fellow citizens of the
county Of Berkeley, that ttess great ia
theirs of the Union thought that il manu-
featuring este blishments were established
that the goods would just grow, that they
would lust hsppaD, that they would just
come slorg, that the PEOPLE of this u
try would not have to employ laboring
men in this country to work in the manu-
featuring estsb lishments; that I imagine
must have been their theory at the time.
Isn't it the most f~arcicol argument to
mske, when they favored the establish
mept of manufacturing establishments, TO
include at the same time the clause that
thew were not taking care of the labor OF
the country.
he WOULD SPEND THE SURPLUS.
Now let MS get the surplus q moment.
NV brother is not fair; he 10 rot fair when
he ststes to this people Of this great audi
epce that the Republican party simply
wants to get rid Of the surplus by spend
ing it, and then he comes right around
with his own argument and tells you that
he has got a copy Of the Senate bill hare
that does reduces the duty, and does re-
duce the surplus in the Treasury; my
brother knows that it IVES stated in Con-
gress by Republicans and by
Democrats that the revenue should be
reduced. The question is, how shall
il be reduced. say, and the Republican
p,rty ssys' REFUGE it IN the interest ct
American industry and American LABOR,
hut not in the interest of tt e people OF the
old world. Applause. Ny distinguished
brother here says, I'VE will reduce the
surplus-how? By striking al the great
projected industries Of this country and
letting the people who toll in the OLD
world come in direct comps tition with you
and with you indus,ries?" Applause.
Mr.. Golf then referred 10 the direcs FAX
refunding bill, which he said Democrats
opposed, and which would have cut down
this surplus many million dollars. We hed
another wsv; we had a fair bill, tie Blair
Educational bill, that would have given
the people of this country millions OF DOL
lars for the purIose of aiding the support
of their free school system. l believe IN
free sct ools myself; l would like to see
school houses scattered all over this State.
GApplsusa1. 1t is the grandest system OF
education that God has ever permitted the
children of man to erjoy. [~ApplauseI.
I am in favor OF this grand educa-
tionsl system, and when l am Governor OF
West Virginia l will see that the voice OF
the Executive Of t1is State is heard at
Washington demanding this justice for the
children of your county and our Grand old
county of Harrison. 1t il right; it ought
to be 20. Now we will get rid OF some OF
the surplus we have got now. After TINS
we will change the tariff law, not as the
Mills bill changes it, not in the interfsS OF
the men over the sea, but in the interest
of the men who make this grand old ma
,ion. [Sevsral voices, 'Thst'ts right"
HIS IDEA OF THE WORLDS MARKETS.
Did you motto, my friends that my
brother Wilson spoke Of the markets CT
the world? Oh, this is 8 beautiful phrase
a magnificent generality, and from their
| ~sloouent tongues il sounds very sweetly,
Now where is the markets Of the world?
Did he tell you? 1t is easy to talk about,
bat so hard to locate. l ask you TO locate
the markets of the world outside OF the
United States. [App'ause. The mar
ket that the protective tarff has given
( rs is wcrth a dozen times over
the markets of the world; deny it If you
CAD. [AIp!sute You talk about I'M
p,rting wool, aud sending the wo len
pooGs to the markets Of the world. Where
will you gend them? App'ause.l Speak
out la all this lard, in all Coos grand
civilization among all the nations Of all
the world, I ask this sudie1ce to name a
nation, a State, q principally, mon
arcby, that you will cell o,len goods tc-
and all is as dumb as IN oyster. Ap-
~plause. Think about this; think about
Ilt; I'll the markets OF the world IN
woolea gods outside Of the United
States in the year 1856 only amounted to
$2G2 600, 600. Think Of that. .
What are you gong to do with iron and
ate e.; are you goirg TO send iron ard steel
TO Eogland and Scotland? Gcd bless your
soul, my dear colleague, Why they have
got more iron and steel over there now
than they know what to do with. LAp-
plau,e Are you goirg to sell steel and
iron ia Scotlsnd and Spain; God bless
your soul, they are knocking at tie doors
of TIE markets of the world. 1--WE ere
distressed" they cay; I'VE have g)t o
surplus now piled up in the sh RS and Oh
the counters OF the manufacturers OF
America"
TO DEMOCRATS IN PARTICULAR.
Now | want q word tn my democratic
brethren. l haven't ss much time as
thought; my hour has gone by rapidly. /
want to say to you that the tariff Is not d
tax in the sense in which tho Senator has
used it in bis y glment. When you buy
s,mething 10 the store, why it ccsss you
less to-day than it cost you in the years
he alluded To. as bticg the golden era
under the tariff for revenue. Oh, let's all
be fair. Isn't it less to day than it was ther?
Isn'e it better to-day than it wts then?
Many voices: mo, no, no." Now be
sill q moment, piesse. Now o1e of you
that said mo" tell me what il is that is
not better. Applause and cries # ''that's
it'll Now tell me ore thing or bush up:
do you want to stick to that? Applause
No, it is not only better, but il Is cheaper.
Now, tsll me one thing That isnot cheaper?

articles than en- ignorant, hungry lsborer
can. The men over the ocean work wien.
ever they are hungry; you men don't have
to work that way. Now my Democratic
brother, I want to call your attent GA to
the fact that tie Democratic party hes not
always been in favor Of the position that
it occupies to-day; that it was not in favor
of Wilson's epeech four years ago; nor two
years ago. Did you ever teT of a paper
called the Wheeling REGISTER? Laugh
ter 1t is the leading shining light Of
the Dan cratic party in this State; it gives
us the Democratic gospel. Will you lis.
ten while I read you what this paper said
on the 2nd day of November, 1886? Now
that has not been two years ago. 1t has
given the Democratic position EoH of two
years ago. Now stem to this.
