states, aud MAS made for no other peo-
pie and Tor DO other nation on the

American boys and girls 10 reach

station. And II ! had any doubt, II
ever had any doubt OF It's virtue, that
doubt has long since been removed. f.
since have witnessed the bitter Oppo-
sitlon of every rival nation Of the orlc.
Applause | am sure We don't want
IN this country fiscal policy that either
England, or France, or Germany Wants
as to have. Loud cheering.l
We differ from any other nation Of
the world. We would have been Ike
every other nation OF the world, II We
had not 'struck" more than a hundred
Years ago. 1t was because We wanted
ID be unlike any other nation OF the
world that the farmers Of TINS luniry
fired "the shot that Was heard around
the world" [Great applause. We
wanted a naticn of our own, that was
bulded and founded upon the consent
OF the governed, or, as Abraham LIN
coin put it, We wanted 4 Government
Of the people, for the people, and by
the people.
Why, they say. this tariff bill builds
a Chinese wall around the United
states, laughter lets nothing come in
and more than tnat, lets nothing 20
out. Well, nov. Mr.. Lincoln once said
that ''you can fool some of the people
some of the time, you can fool
a part OF the people part of
the time, but you cannot fool
all of the people all Of the time"
laughter. And / surely need not
tell This intelligent audience tonight,
that tariffs do not keep anything from
gong out. Tariffs are put on things
that come in and not on things that 90
out. You could not put an export duty
upon the products raised IN this
country, or manufactured IN this
country and sent abroad, if you wanted
to do SO, for the constitution of the
United States forbids it. [Applause.l
| say, under this bill, as under any
other bill, the prducts of this country
can find a market anywhere IN the
world. where there is 4 demand for
such products. And, under q higher
tariff than we have today under this
new bili, we have sent more products
out of this country, in the last ten years,
than we sent out in any twenty years of
our experience previous 10 that time.
Applause The experience of this
country has been that, under protec-
tive principle and 8 protective tariff,
we have unlformlly-wIthb but three ex-
ceptlons in our history when we have
been under the protective principle
sent more products out of the United
States, than we brought inside OF the
United States for the use of our own
people. Our export trade has exceeded
our import trade, and there can be no
more heathful sign of a hezlthful husi-
ness, than when a Nation sells more
than it buys. Applause.
A nation is precisely Ike an indi-
vidusl. When an individual buys more
than he sells, when an individual PAYS
out more than comes in, in single
year, he isgetting ready for the sheriff;
and when government buys more
abroad than IL sends abroad, ana has
to pay that balance in gold earned by
the labor of It's own people, that gov
ernment is not, in a financial sense, IN
4 prosperous condition, and Vet under
u low tariff policy, IN nearly every
year, our imports exceeded our ex-
ports. | wish | had the time 10 read
you from the messages of Millsrd
Fillmore and of James Buchanan. be-
tween 1850 and 1860, when they de-
clared, in their annual messages to
Congress. that this low revenue
tariff policy, instead of encouraging
our exports and increasing our foreign
trade. had. IN fact, diminished cur ox-
port business and decreased our foreign
trade. But, my fellow citizens, what |
desire to say to YOU here tonight of this
bll j. that there IS not a line Of It that
interferes with our gong out and cap
turing the markets OF the world. You
