risked their lives 10 save the nations lie.
While the tariff was levied for the purpose
of securing revenue the idea OF protectlon
ran through all the legislation OF the he
publican party.
AID THE INDUSTRIES.
It was the idea that we should aid our
national industries and pay our people as
well as possible for those things when they
can do for us and for themselves. IL was
Republican idea that the tariff should be re,
vised from time to time, put on mere ana
taken off there, as the needs OF the country
require. The Mckinley bill gives better
protection TO our people, north and south,
east and west, than any law ever before
enacted. The good result OF that law rests
upon the manner in which 1t Is hereafter
modified to meet the changing wants OF the
people, and it was therefore important that
Intelligent Republicans should be sent to
Congress 10 vote upon the plans hereafter to
be presented.
Senator Stanford said he had looked over
the State ticket. The most of the men he
knew personally to be worthy the votes Of
all good citizens, and he hoped and expected
to see the entire ticket elected. He referred
to his travels in Europe and said that the
people of California are lncomparably pet
ter off than the people of any foreign nauon
that he visited He found that the people
of the Pacific Coast are better housed, bet
ter clothed, better fed, and better educated

THOMAS FITCH
Mr.. Fitch, when introduced, said Fellow
citizens" and then waited five minutes,
until something like a semblance of order
was restored. At last he began: The
issues which formerly separated the parties
are settled. There is scarcely question
growing out OF the war that has not been
decided, and there Is no country on the face
of the earth more in unison than are these
United States. There is hope for the DEM
ocrats of 1890. The Democrats have had
the advantage Of aSsociating with kepuDl-
cans until now it is difficult to distinguish
between a high-toued Democrat ana
medium toned Republican. Laughter
The difference between us and those OPP
posed to us is this, that we stand by our
records, while the Democrats, repudiate
theirs. Laughter and applause The true
spirit Of party is not always TO be found
in Its platform. 1t is to be found IN the
laws which it enacts when in power and
the measures it opposes when out OF power;
THE Republican party established ana
assisted industries that were droopns,
freed the slaves, preserved the life OF the
nation, gave hope 10 the hopeless, homes
to the landless, and is pay ns the great
debt Of the nation, well as showing
appreciation Of the debt of the people 10
those who fought their battles"
ON THE WRONG SIDE.
Mr.. Fitch declared that for thrty-siX
years the Democrats have been on the
wrong side of every question Of public policy,
and all their propositions had been mega
lived by the people of the nation.
At the last election the people divided on
great question of economic policy. That
question is still vital issue, and so Will
continue SO long as there Is opposition to the
great American policy OF protection to
American industry. a few years ago the
principle Of protection was recognized and

SACRIFICED TO EGoTIsM
The Democratic party at the st. Louis
Convention two years ago was sacrificed to
the egotism of that Preside n tial accident
known as Grover Cleveland, and declared for
his idea of free trade. If consistency
is a level the Democratic party after that
was as free of gems as a Lebanon Quaker,
and if conscience is an mpediment they
could not be charged for extra baggt ge.
But there was no reason why they should

party history was concerned. They had
been first on one side ana then on the other
and sometimes OF both sides of the tariff
question. The trouble with the ST. Louis
Convention vas that it was dominated by
the Southern element which was more
anxious TO ture an historical yihdlcatlon OF
Jefferson DAVIS than to present record OF
consistency Oh mere coniheIciSi question:
THE LABoBER'S SHARE.
II the tariff is a robbery, as some Of the
small Democratic orators had been crying
until they got red in the face, the Republic
can party had, by its action, always insisted
that the laLOrprs should get their share of
the plumber. Who shall make the American
workman believe thar it is better for him to
gain the markets OF the whole world and
lose the market of his own country? The
market of this country Is the very market
that all the rest of the world is
striving 10 get The man who has
labor TO sell must have market
close at hand. He cannot store up his com
modify. He must sell it at once. He can
not send it across continent or seas, but
must let it 90 to the purchaser near at hand.
That is why all who work with their hands
and brains are interested in kee ing up
protective tariff. What maintains the COM
pensation of one keeps up all in like pro-
portion. The Democrats have in feeble
way endeaycred TO back and fil dozen
times on this subject. They are like blind
where and never getting anywhere, and so
far as they were concerned 1t made no dill
ference whether they were crushing waste
rock or pay ore, just so they were grinding
away at something that had been discarded
by tie Republicans.

farmers are as we'll educated as they are
