Increasing the American manufacture greatly lowers the price of the goods the foundation of the charge that we have increised the cost to our consumers has disappeared. On the high seas the same result will follow. Increased ia. cilities of transportation will stimulate and improve foreign trade: not in the exchange of cheap tobacco with Cuba: not the commerce consisting in the trans- portation of raw cotton to England. it's manufacture there into apparel for use. and It's transportation back in that form, coupled with the carrying of flour and meat to English workmen, Father than their sale to our own people making the goods here. Mark. sir. the great loss to producer and consumer in the needless transportation have illustrated, but it will stimulate exchange of American merchandise. fruits of farm and factory for those we cannot produce.
 Congressman Dolliver--My father was preacher. If you require it will pro- duce atfidavits for that. and one of the cheerful recollections of my youth is the picture of my venerable ancestor, with his eyes turned toward heaven. invoking the divine blessing on our humble fare, while the rest of us turned our eyes away from heaven and heavenly things to watch the progress of a fight between a lion and unicorn that appeared to be in progress on the bottom of the breakfast plates never knew how that fight came out, but us passed through the city of Trenton an hour ago l could not help thanking God that q man can eat his breakfast in the United States today without having the exercises interrupted by that kind of u chromo Wendell Phillips used to say that the main factor ln civilization is the dollar left over out of the weeks wages after the expenses of the family have been paid. That dol lar means music anl pictures. It means the church and the school. It means the savings bank and the insurance policy. It may not be very large. but it is big enough to wrap up in fl the safety of nations and the welfare of centuries. It iS that dollar which lifts the industrial level of America above the level of the old world. It is that dollar that has at tracted the industrious millions out of all lands, persuaded them to lay down the differences of race and creed and language. take upon honest conscience5 the oath of our citizenship. and receive in exchange hope and prospect that are denied to the children of the people in the older countries of the world.
 Senator DoipJ-The fallacy of the Democratic argument, that we must buy of a nation if we expect to sell to it, is exposed when it is stated that nations do not buy of each other; that foreign trade is carried on by individuals who are governed by self interest and who buy where they can buy the cheapest, without stopping to inquire what the state of trade is between the two nations. The proposition is shown to be false by the statistics of our foreign trade anl of the foreign trade of every other country. England wOull buy what food products she required of u' if she could buy them cheaper Of us than elsewhere, if we did not buy a dollars worth of her: and if we shoull admit her manufactures free out "bAit hOt ou "Ollh iioth us if sue could buy then cheaper else where.
 Hon. William E. Cartis-Four hun dred years ago. M". chairman. a man was wandering about the capital of Spain asking assistance from the govern menr to enable him to extend It's riches and glory and power. He was de- nounced and deriiel. He was called subsidy beg gar and they said he was ia- sane; but his persistence and patriotism succeeded. and America was discovered frolu the deck of subsidized ship. After similar derision and disappoint- ment those who have sought to extend the riches and glory and power of the United States have secured the consent of congress for increased facilities for reaching the markets that are being opened by tine reciprocity arrangements, and we should commemorate the close of the fourth century of American civiliza- tion by recovering control of q commerce that belongs to us by reason of geo. graphical and political association.
 Hon. J. II. Walker-The American mechanic is the first and richest fruitage of the American protective tariff. and he it is who has given to the farmer every tool and machine that has frightened his toll from the first and has made his labor twice as effective ia 1890 as it was in lS6O Not one of them do we owe to Europe. It is said that the reaper was suggested there. but it was developed and made practical here. Our pre-emi- nence in the department of agricultural machinery is so pronounced that every form of agricultural appliance is cheaper in this country than in any other coun- try in the world. We furnish to every other country it's cheapest and best agri- cultural machinery. exporting millions of dollars worth every year.
 Robert P. Porter-During a decade of ferocious attack and gloomy prophecy by Fre-traders we have added q nation to d nation-a nation complete in every particular have shown that the ad- vanceinent of population, the increase of agricultural products, the diversitica- tion of manufacturing, the development of mineral resources. the extension of railroads and the building up of great commercial and industrial centers have kept perfect time to the martial music of our national progress There is nothing discor.lant abont this development, as Free-traders would have the people be- lieve The farmer has extended the area of cultivation into the unsettled region, the manufacturer has attracted AL .... ... ,ln flao
