her merry song as she walks along and her
CHEEKY call to this one and that one whom
she passes. See the difference. [Applause.l
This Is our country. It is a government
for the average person, mot for the rich
man. He can take care of himself as well
as the baron of old.
Now for some figures. We have in
creased IL, OO0, 900 in this decade. Go on,
fellow citizens; build your shops. Do you
want market? See it growing up around
you. just as true as an engineer could
lay out, down goes prices, up goes labor,
and the dividends of capital grow less and
less Oh, the tariff has increased the cost
of articles. No it hasn't, except in few
things. It may increase the cost Of cham
payne, possibly of tobacco. The articles
Of the rich are raised in price, the necessi-
ties of the poor man, of the laborer, are |
cheapsned. The great result is the transfer |
of foreign capital to our country. The
great British manufacturers cannot send
their goods here because of the tariff, and |
the only thing to do is to come over here |
and manufacture them. I will take one |
instance Of great point made by our OPP |
ponents. They say our tariff raises the |
cost of tin, and the workingman has to |
pay more for his tin cup. Now these are
manufactured for 49, cents dozen and
sold for five cents apiece. The duty raises |
this three mills. The price of the cup will |
not be raised any, and the laborer will get |
his sugar cheaper than before because of |
of the tariff. In other words, he saves
enough on sugar to buy dozen tin cups.
In this way everything reverts.
ously applauded. The band played Sc
lection and the Hon. Mah1on Chance of
Ohio was introduced.
The speaker said he had not addressed
New Haven audience since twenty-four
years ago. Then General Hawley was a
candidate for governor, o. Fl. Platt was
chairman of the state committee, and
Professor Cyrus Northrop was candi-
date for congress. He eulogized the record
of General Hawley as pride to the whole
country. We have lifted the laborer to the
highest place in this body polite, he con
tinued. Senator Hawleys speech was full
classes fills the bosom of our
party. This is well known fact, and
that is why the lovers of ease and luxury
do not like our policy. This wonderful
Governor Hill of New York says this mag
nifcent country of ours has prospered not
because Of the tariff, but in spite Of it.
This is absurd upon the face Of it. The
only way to keep up wages is to maintain
tariff equal to the difference between the
wages on this side and those on the other.
Now the Garden of Eden was the first
commonwealth. The lord created it as
protective precinct Adam and
Eve were protectionists. The devil
was the first free trader. The savings of
the workingmen in our savings banks is
the true test of the value of our protective
system. The Mckinley bill has been passed.
It comes like bugle call to the working
men, summoning them to new industry
and new prosperity. We have built fence
about our industries here. They talk of
raw material When they tell you we want
raw material, point to cotton and tell them
we get $50, O0O, 900 worth and sell $40, 000,-
O00 We can have the markets of the
world if we can sell cheaper than our COM
petitors. The necessities of life are the
only things worth protecting. 1t is the
lpxuries of life that we must tax. Iron
is the standard measure of industry. In
1S46 England made 10000 tons Of iron
more than we did. We were then in free
trade period. From 1916 to 1861 we sent
abroad $751;, 000, 900 worth of wheat Dur
ing this year alone we sent $S8, 000.O 600
worth abroad. In the last sixteen years
we have sent 81, 1875, 900, 900 worth Of wheat
and -four abroad, more than four times as
much per capita as in free trade times
Under the modern tariff, notwithstanding
| the waste of wealth, we were richer
/ at Appomattox than we were at Fort
Sumpter. Applause England is our
| mother, we are told. When England
battered down the walls of China,
where it put one pound of Chris
tianity in, it put fifty pounds of opium.
England's Christian basis is the destruc-
ton of every nation upon the face of the
globe, if possible, for the greatness Of
England. If there is any class of men I
honor, it is the manufacturers. They have
made our country what it is. But why
do the people of the world want our
marketsi Because they are worth 30O, OOO,-
600 people to them. want t.. SAY that
with the exception of Andrew Carnegie,
there is not manufacturer to-day who
stands in the front rank of millionaires.
Buy where you can buy the cheapest, sell
where you can sell the dearest, is free
trade axiom. Where is labor worth more
than in the United States! Russia keeps
the wolves away and starves her sheep.
The United States keeps the wolves away
and feeds her sheep. This is what the Nc
Kinley bill proposes to do. [Great ap-
plause.l You strike against convict labor.
Then do not go and vote for party which
would let the products of convict labor in
from the other side. I never knew dem
ocrat, hardly, but who was better than his
party. A mugwump is republican who
| likes everything Ill tuo party put i1o pau
form. For the last five years, since Frank
Hurd went out of congress, there has not
been a speech made worthy. of circula-
ton by northern democrat. The
republican party has made this nation SO
strong that its opponents could not de-
stroy it if they would and we have made
it so grand they dare not destroy it any
way, and have always been a republican
because the republican party is always
right and the democratic party always
wrong. You can not find democrat here
in Connecticut but really thinks the Nc
Kinley bill the greatest triumph of states
manship ever seen since the war.
The speaker ended with a vigorous ap-
peal for the support of the state candi-
dates and the election of o legislature
pledged to return Orville II. Platt to the
United States senate, where he was chair
man of the committee which admitted six
new states and added SO many stars to our
glorious flag.
Tho speaker produced letter which he
had received during the day from one of
stating that although the price of macca-
roni, prunes and few other articles had
been raised slightly by the Mckinley bill,
the increase in price had stimulated Amer
lean producers so that maccaroni factories
are to be started here, California prunes,
the best in the world, are to be spread
over the country in place of the poor
foreign article, and other industries aroused
to activity, which in time will give us a
better article at greatly reduced price.
