ciples upon whieh the tarlH lGw Is

ton Of the tWo parties taus.
Both parties agree that the revenue
must be raised By lDduect taxation, By
/ duties on imports. They differ IN the
/ way these duties shall be raised. The
/ Democrat insists that the tarif snail be
i levied for revenue and revenue only.
| The Republicans urge that Il shall Oe

same time protect and encourage home
\ industries. To follow demOcI ate prin-
elples the tariff must &c levied on
/ products which We cannot produce. on
non-competing fOreign products, and Il
/ would he difficult 20 raise enough
revenue on these products 10 run

III we have no concern for the EN-
/ ployment OF our people then We want
revenue tarif. A Republican tarit y
not levied for revenue only, but TO give

and improve our markets. Would the
farmers OF Holmes county rather haye

| they change from consumers 10 COM
peiltors."
As to the charge that the tariff is
burdensome on the people and isadded
10 the cost of goods, he said:
at is said the Republican protective
tariff puts burdens upon the people.
| There is not mSn IN this audience
who knows anything about It; for he
does not feel the weight of federal tax
alton. The tax IS not paid by con-
sumers. IL Il ia, why is IL that England
Belgium and Germany are crying out
against this new bill? You do not pay
/ "There Is not an item upon which
protective duties have been laid that
has not been reduced in price TO the
people who buy II. The Republican
party fifteen years ago gave to the
country free coffee and tea, and 1t has
now gwen II free sugar, and we now
! have as = result free and untaxed
breakfast table, and duties under this
bill which went into operation Yester-
day are lower than those OF any bill
! since 1861, with I half dozen exceptions
| there have been reductions along the
line"
The policy followed in the bill, as to
raising or lowering tariff duties, is thus
noticed:
eve have reduced the duty when
ever IT would not interfere with or in
jure home industry, and have increased
1t only where the protection OF our own
manufacturing interests demand 1t.
The duties on wool have all been made
protective. Ii in 1888 you farmers OF
Holmes county and Ohio defeated the
Republican party for the reduction of
the wool tariff, as the Democrats then
claimed, it is your duty now 70 vote for
the Republican party, that has not only
restored the tariff of 1853, but made ii
stronger by Il high tariff on all substi-
tutes for wool. II Il is free wool you
want don't vote for me. If you want
to destroy the fiocks of the country
vote for that other man, for | find by
the OTrvllle convention that tue plat
form OF 1883, which put wool ami 50 5peT
cent. of tine products OF farms on the
| tree list Is reaftirmed.'
As the farmers have been so often
told By the Democratic journals that
there IS no protection for them in the
protective tariff policy, he tells just
how they are interested in the new law.
lie says:
Protection is for all, or for none.
As Burke said OF liberty. il must apply
TO all or none. You farmers are en-
titled TO just as much protection rs
manufacturers, and that protection
must be the difference in the labor and
cost between the foreign products and
our own.
This gives to the farmer for the first
time in tariff history ms proper place
in the protective scheme. There IS
where the principal advances in duty
have been. II you want the duties
struck down, then don't vote for me.
But they say farmers don't need pro-
lection because they must find mar
ket abroad. Eight per cent of our
farm products are marketed abroad, 81
per cent at home, and am for taking
care of the 90 per cent. The labor IN
India is eight cents a day. How would
YOU like 10 compete with that kind OF
labor IN raising wheat2
''I could quote from high Democratic
authority that the time ls near when
Indian wheat is likely TO find a market
in New York. So we have To put up tht
bars before the horse gets in. This u 4
bill for the American people, and fOr
no one else. The rank and file OF the
Democratic party are for protection

jackson and Jefferson were pro

by Congress was a protective tariff bill
