Ifany doubtever existed that the house
tariff bill was piscs of American legs
lation for the bsnesE Of the American
people, and II tho line of the country's
largest prosperity. that doabt mus. have
long since been removed by the nantes
tations Of opposition which &sve come
from the leading Gad eosnHsssng nations
Of tie world. We said IN our platform
OF 1883: We are uncomproInisingly IN
favor of the American system OF Protec-
ton. We protest against is destruction
as proposed by President Cleveland and
his party. They serve the interests Of
Europe; we viii support the interests Of
America. We have given legislative
sanction TO this declaration in the bill
which has passed the house with a
fidelity of purpose which even our
enemies VIII not question.
The public meetings which have been
held IL England. and the exhibitions Of
temper which have been witnessed IN
some Of its great manufacturing centers,
and in the parliamentary bodies Of other
nations. protesting against our proposed
tariff bill, must have convinced the most
ignorant or incredulous that our foreign
rivals regard the bin not in the interests
OF Europe. but in the interests Of
America. They see nothing in il but a
diminutio1 of their American trade and
a corresponding gain to our own pro-
ducers.
OF course il does not please other na-
tions. IL was not framed after that
fashion. The Mills bLl did President
| Cleyeland's Free-trade messages received
only acclamations of praise from the na-
tiors Of the world. Our bill receives
from them only condemnation and Bit
ter denunciadon. This is the precise
difference-it was rot made 70 please
other nations; it was framed for the
people Of the United States aS defense
TO their industries. as a security 10 their
interests ard investments, as a protec-
ton to the labo- Of their hands and as a
safeguard to the happy homes Of Ameri-
can workmen.
If it shall be enacted into law venture
the prediction, which viii be fully veri-
fed, and which thoughtful men every
where will confirm, when declare tha.
it will bring to this country prosperity
unparalleled in our own history and un-
rivaled in the history Of the world. Ard
let me assure you that the bill will be-
come a law. a Republican senate will
pass it, and Republican president Will
put upon it his seal Of approval as soor as
it shall reach him, and another great
pledge of the Republican party will have
been fulfilled.
