HERE IN WHEELING.
Now, want to show you what took
place here In Wheeling under the tariff OF
1s46; have some data from one OF your
best citizens, and Pil giveyo the initisl
Of his name. it's John Fl. Hobbs. IAp-
plause What took place under 20
Per csnt. tarsffp There Is but one Of your
prese 1t Industries which was inaugurated
before the tariff of 1s46, and that oce
failed that year, but was reorganizsd the
following year under 10 per cent. tariff,
and is now running. That one is tie Top
mill. II was o. gAnized in 1884 and f. lied
in 1857. There Was panic that year, and
the Republicans say that the Wslker tariff
is what did il. But that panic on y les cd
twelve months. In oae year it had passed
away, and the entire land wSs prosperous.
Applause. Now, wsnt to call your
attention to that other panic which you
all remember-the panic of 1873. That
was under q very high tariff, and what .
terrible time there was. Thousands OF
cur workiDgn men wsrs thrown out OF en-
ployment, and sent to wander over this
land as tramp, manufacturers were COM
PEELED to suepend, merchants were beg
CARED, and our ipssne asylums were hlled
with men whose minds were not strong
enough to stand the terrible strain OF
financial disaster. That panic lasted for
six long, terrible years.
Well, this mill failed in 1857, but it was
reoIganized, ss have said, sni has been
running ever since, and Mr.. Stephens-l
think it's Mr.. Stephens-in his history OF
this city, admits that between 1916 and
1S49 it coined mon y.
Thea there was the Virginia mill, Or
ganizei in 1847, under 10 per cent tariff,
and it is RAINING yet. It was removed 10
Benwood, and is name charged, bat it's
The same concern. 8It was lUcatel at the
mouth of the cIeek.
Ttea there's the Belmont mill, organ
liz d in 1919, and still ranuiDg. There's
the Eagle mill, now the Z vsrslde. 1t was
Organized in 1852, and il's still rupnlu G
aud m aking money, as it always did. IL
sssa't AZ per cent tariff which induced
its owners to put their money into 1t; 1T
VOC 10 per cent tariff [Applsuse.
Then there's the Crescent mill, making
sheet iron. 1t was organized 10 1852 and
it's still in the ring, and not so very baoly
di.fgured, either.
Then we come to glass. There's the
Hobbs glass works, organized in 1916. and
still running. Applause. Managed by
large hearted, noble men, who are wiling
70 lise and let live. Applau.e Men
who are willing that the farmers may
have little money, and that commerce
may have bu,iness.
EFFECTS OF DEMOCRACY.
Now, what else? I'll tell you. Wheel
ing never had but one pottery until cid
Grover was elected [Uheers. Now you've
got four, TCheers. and your still going
OF. "a voice: and there's more COM
Ing" Yes, there's mole coming. While
was going down town to-day with that
magnificent procession Chsers. 1 saw a
msgnific ant new bulldog going up down
t7ere. asked what if was, AID they told
re it was pottery. Potteriss are going
M everywhere, aud the Republicans are
going down. [Chesrs, auda voice: "Steel
plants"I YES, there's stsel plart'.
You've got three steel plants sirca Grover
was elected. Aud we're goirg to plant
the Republ can party sodesp down theIe'll
be no resurrection. Applause.
Now lust think over this: Every single
mill you have here in Wheeling was or
gauizsd under q Democratic admioistrs'
ticn, ard mark you, fellow citizens, in
Clu ling the Reorganization Of the Top
mill, 1857, all were organized and con.
struitsd under % per can tariff aud
they all msds money AID were saii,t fed
urtil the Republican party came iato
ppwer and wanted everybody to make q
inIllion dollars a month. Applause, and
voice: "Where'5 Goff?'
Golf taken TO the woes. Applause. J
Mr.. Golf said q great deal about what Re
was going to do, at the EiGk. the other
day. 1t strikes mo that man by the
name of Goff rau fer Governor about twelve
years Egg, but according to the rest Of my
rex lleCticn we bat him by about seven
teen Thousand. Applause 1t puts me
in mind Of my boy hood days. Applause ]
We used 10 have good deal OF fun with
the brave boy who was willing to tight 9
h ,rnet's mast. We used to get him lot
{ brush aud see him march up to the nest
in fence corner and slash away at it, end
what spectacle he was when he came out
of that fight. Laughter. 1t was vary
seldom the boy, after one exterience,
wanted to fight q hornets nest the eecoud
tire, unless he was exceptionally dnmb.
That's the way with Golf. Applause. ]
Now, want to cay a few words 10 my
farmer friends, and want their attention.
Whenever you destroy the farmer you de-
st.oy the bottom rock of American pros
osrity. There's no doubt of that. Now l
propose , give you some facts, and want
Won to think over them b:tween now and
election day.
MEAT AND GRAIN.
The surplus Of the meat and grain pro-
duced ny the farmer, last year, was $3.50,
600 600. Think of that, The farmers
produced that much Of these two staI les
more than they could consume. QUE entire
expectations were only a little over $3.50,
900 900. Three-fourths of that amount
was farm products, for that is about the
ratio Of our expectations. They have
stood thus for many years. You will OBJ
serve, therefore, that this left over
$500, 600, 900 worth of meat and grain in
