richest market IN the world, for there

Loud applause. There are not o.

world VINO buy as much rs the "a .O0o,-
600 OF Americans, and they do IL be-
cause they have got more money 20

The Democratic party Is troubled
about the foreign market for the far
mer. Ninety-two per cent of all the
farm produce is sod at home, eight
per cent goes abroad. The Democratic

But, they say, we increase the duties

| tnguish-d Senator stock bridge, who
J gave me the honor to come over with
me today from Three R.yers, | wish he
could have circulated all over the
State OF Michigan this iniquitous tariff
bill, so-called, side by side with the
| former law, so that every citizen could
see where we have made reductions
and where We have made advance
ments. | wish every one Of you could
read that bill side by side with the
other law, before the 4th day of
| November next, and If you could and
would, Mr. Belknap's successor would
get as large a majority as you gave
that distinguished gentleman two years
ago. Tremendous applause. And
was told that he had enough. Laugh
ter.
But, my friends, they say we have
increased the duties. From the begin
nlng of this law down to Its end, POS
pages from schedule A TO free list, there
are reductions all along the line, and
for every increase of duty there are a
dozen reductions of duty upon those
articles for the every day,use of man.
Why. they say, the duties must have
been increased for the merchants arc
marking up their prices. Laughter.
What are they marking up their prices
on? Why, they are marking up their
| prices on goods that have heen on their
shelves for months before this bill went
into effect. Laughter There hs:
not been time enough since Monday
week, when this bill went into effect, &c
! get goods from England, or from
France. or from Germany. Applause.
Why, they say, tea has been marked
up, when there isn't any duty on it a
all. [laughterl and has not been fol
eighteen years.
They say they marked up boots and
shoes. We have reduced the duties
upon all kinds of leather and upOr
boots and shoes under this bill from .;
to 30 per cent. Applause. 1t II
some thlng else that has caused this ad
vance IN the price OF boots and SnOes, i
