There is a general impression that protective tar.
originated with the manufacturers OF ue inter
states that protective tariffs were inaugurated by Iho
manufacturers of the United states Vet the exact @
reverse is true in American history: Inc men WHO
made the first great protective tarih law Wnch & was
signed by Washington July l, l1oe, were
the farmers of the United st tes tCrlss oil 3 a2
piaise and Cheers.) There were few profession men
here and there, largely in the minority but me men
who made that tariff either planters ana FARMERS
themselves or they had agricultural constituency
(Applause) And they made 1t with a purpose, ;,r.
have always been prOad OF that first great act Why
was n second law ever passed by the american CON
grcss. signed by George Washington on thtI u"S'
memorable in American history? AppauseJ
Mr. Mckinley went over the history Of the tariff
touching eloQuently here aud there upon the uh.
donbted benefits which It brought to the great
masses OF the American people and closed WIN a
eulogisc reference to President Harrison, secretary
Blaine and reciprocity all Of which was loudly ap-
