choice OF presidential electors that We have
common interests. Our national Congress,
though chosen in seperate districts, leglslates
for all our people. Wisconsin has a
direct interest that the ballot shall
be free and pure in all
States. lGreat cheering. Therefore let
no man say that it is none of your business
how elections are conducted in other States
Cheers. | believe this great question of
free ballot, so much disturbed by race ques-
tons in the south would be settled this year
if men of the south who believe with us on
the great question of the protection of
American idustries and would throw of all
old prejudices and vote their convictions up
on the question. believe that there are in
dieations that the independent manhood of
the south will this year manifest itself in this
direction. Those intelligent and pros
porous citizens of the south who are
seeking 10 build up within thei. own States
diversified industries, they will no, much
longer be kept in bondage to the traditions of
the days when the South was wholly a COM
munity of planters. When they assert their
belief in protective tariff by supporting the
only party that advocates that policy, the
question of free ballot, SO far as it is
southern question: Will De settled forever
for they will have power TO insist that those
who believe with them shall vote and that
their votes shall be counted. Applause.
Protective policy, by developing home
supply and limiting the importations, will
help US to maintain the balance of the trade
upon our side in our dealings with the world.
Cnder the tariff of 1916, from the year 1850
to 1860 the balance of trade was continuous
y against us, aggregating in that period over
$500, ,000, 900. Under the influence of pro-
ectlye tariff the balance of trade has been
and largely with us unless dis
urbed by special conditions. Instead of
sending our gold abroad to pay foreign banks,
Se have usually been bringing foreign gold
lere TO augment our store. Cheers. | |
