viii be seen that the duty on block tin goes into
effect on the LIST day of July, 1853. That 10. the
manufacturers Of tin-plate have free tin ore or
block tin for two years. Then there Is this
further provision That unless IL shall be made
10 appear TO the satisfaction OF the President OF
the United States, who shall make known the
fact by proclamation, that the product OF tue
mines OF the United States shall have exceeded
5000 tons in one year prior to July 1, 1885, then
all pig tin shall after July /, 1897 be admitted
free OF duty.
The duty on tin plates went into eject on
July l, OF this year. There is also d provision
In tho law that on and after Oct i, 81 unless
II shall be made 10 appear 20 the satisfaction OF
the President, who shall thoreupon make proc
lation OF the fact that the aggregate quantity OF
such tin plate produced In the United States
during either OF the years next preceding june
80, 1897, Ia equal 10 one-thi the amount Of such
tin plates imported and entered for consump.
ton during any fiscal year after the a5sage of
this act and rior TO Oct. l. 1857, then they shall
become free.
1t is said we cannot make tin plate How
absurd, for we are already making IL. and it
won't be long until we shall make the larger
part OF the consumption. We are making tin
plate to-day. Democratic encouragement can
not stop it foreign interference cannot check
American genius and resolution.
The tariff OF 1890 Will win it's own way-it will
achieve its own victories and they will be We
tories for American labor, American enterprise,
American genius, and for the whole American
people. We take neither our patriotism nor
political economy from other nntions-ifwe had
we would yet be in our swaddling clothes, a de-
pendency and province of Great britain, instead
of the best Government on the face OF the earth
n Government Of equal citizens hip, equal oppor-
tunities and equal laws.
The rgish press is much concerned about
the American farmer. She had better be more
mindful OF her own, under whose in lus trial
policy he has been driven from the soil T. make
a living, and year after year. il he remains, is
compelled to incur distres ing debt and to sub
nit to distressing poverty.
The next House Of Representatives, which is
Democratic by a two-thirds majority, will pre-
sent to the country its plan and purpose OF n
Ill. n 4
indicate to the people of Ohio what IL will be 1
am impatient TO know. viii the new plan be
fashioned aftor the Mills bill, which tho country
30 einphatically rejected In 1888? i'll it have
free wool and flax and hemp? Will 1t expose
the products OF agriculture to tho unre-
strained competition OF Canada and other
deadly blow Mt Northern capital and Ia
Dor; will 1t put sugas back oN the dutiable
list ut ~ cents a pound whore }he Mills bill
proposed o put it; or Will IL accept the hori,
zontal process invented by Morrison for revising
the tariff long TO See this model and symbol
OF tariff reform. viii IL be fashioned by Cleve-
lands after the British plan, or constructed by
Hill after the Randall model? When il comes
the country can look at It, 1t will be specta,-
Gle TO behold. New England free raw material,
Tor which the mugwumps and reformers voted
last year to restore the Democratic party to
power will be lett out just as 1t will be left out
in the Mills bill.
vast majority OF the party are in favor of n de-
based dollar. Will they register their will or
that OF Mr.. Cleveland? We must walt. In lhe
meantime let Ohio record her verdict against
the degradation OF American labor and the de-
basement Of the American dollar.
Much as the Republican party has done 1t
has great things yet to do. 1t will be mighty
force in the future as It has been mighty force
In the past. Its glolies will continue to blaze
on the heights, light to the world, pointing
to IL higher destiny for mankind, and tho
upholding and uplifting OF nation ap-
proved OF God. 1t will not pause in its march
and acl tevements until the flag the flag OF the
I'm hA naff nj
sovereignty 1T home and of American rights
abroad until American labor shall be securely
shitl led from the degrading competition OF the
vicious and criminal classes who are crowding
our shores never while the advC ties OF a de-
based dollar threaten the country with it's
right 10 vote In every corner OF the country
shall be protected under the law and by the
law and for the law and the American ballot
box be held AS sacred as the American homo.
