How does Il harpon that a majority q the
farmers Of Indiana great manufacturing
state-arc Democratic ] am myself In favor
OF profession. but I believe We have gene far
enough; and. whether we have = ne far
enough or not. I insist that q a manufacturer
wants more protection he must demonstrate
me necessity FOR u. This has not
sven been attempted, but with an inso-
lsncs witch Ia Itself calls for rehuke. the
manufacturer and those who represent
them have simply sail ~e want H. and that
IL enough. There has not been an argu'
merit which was worth the name offered TO
snow that higher protection was needed IL
IL rather a poor oommsntary on the Amer.
lean manufactured that. after having been
given the local field for more than thirty
years. he IL still too weak TO stand alone,
but too weak to even exist unless he gets
still higher protection than he has ever had
] am open To- conviction upon this as upon
every thing else, but ! can not be driven, and
u happens at the present time, u the indl'
cations which multiply ON every hand car
be relied on. that n very large majority oi
the people ef Kansas are with me. l get let
tiers and kilograms from there by tue hun

Republicans, and ! a.so get scores OF slmilai
letters from Republ cans In the Eastern ane

In'i Il quite possible, now, that a mar
may bo a good Republican and n good pro
tectiOnist without taking the same view o
a particular duty which the manufactures
dor Isn't it possible that n manufacturer
who Is to get the cash In his pocket direc
as the result OF the imposition OF n duty, 4
liable to be warped somewhat by his self
interest, aud isn't Il fair for the consumer
OF the United States TO say In a given cas-
that even Il the duty may be necessary tn
burden Ia greater ON them than they thinl
they ought TO boarg
My Judgment Il tho manufacturers ar
making an issue which Is going 10 be hurtiu
tothom, as ! also sincerely believe that tn
imposition al the dutlc' which they ar
asking Tor will be hurtful to the country. ]
this slpcere belief makes mo other thar
Republican, then / nave never known wha

Messrs. Mckinley and Reed to me. They ar
two very eminent mon, but human lelngs
and liable TO be mistaken. May | not, In OF
position to that, quite MFR. blaine TO you
May ! also not quote to you the thousand
OF Republicans In the state OF low VIII
have left the party on account OF it, pos
tlon ON the tariff. whereby that State, Ia
stead Of giving G0,OOO majority. as It did
1880. is now In the doubtful column.
