SHORT EXTRACTS FROM SPEECHES DE
LIvERED AT THE AMERICAN TARIFF
LEAGUE BANQUET IN NEW YORK.
The issue is again upon US, and j
must and will be met, not with apolog
or evasion, but aggressively, and witt
battle to the end.-HOR. c. " Bis,
Chairman Of the League Banquet.
Now what we want to do is to go an,
prosper, and we do not want any mon
keying with the tariff and we are no
going to have it. Mind my predictions
here tonight that that law will not b,
changed in ten years, unless it be chang
ed by the Republican party on protect
ion lines. You need not be troubled
about the foreign market. You car
trust the Yankee nation to go out anG
capture the markets of the world.-Hon
Wm. Mckinley.
You ask farmer anywhere to-day
whether he would rather have planted
beside him farm or factory. What
will be his answer? Why, that he would
rather have a factory planted beside
him. What plants these factories but a
benefcent tariff law?-NcKt tnley.
The tariff levied for revenue and rev.
enue only is always paid by the con-
suming nation. That may be so prima-
rily with the protective tariff, but it
ceases to be so the very instant we are
capable of successfully manufacturing
among ourselves, and then competition
at home regulates and controls the tar
f.-McKinley.
This bill gives freer, broader, wider
trade than any bill from Washington to
Harrison. Nearly fifty per cent, of all
we imported last year is absolutely free
under the law of 1S90.-1NcK-inley
Let us invoke the cooperation of all
good men to maintain the law and pre-
serve the guaranteed rights of all our
fellow citizens. Let us maintain peace
with honor, but let us at all times look
not abroad for direction or approval, but
to the intelligent judgment of our own
people as to their own interests
j. W. Noble, Secretary Of the Interior.
1t will thus appear that for every dol
lar of dutiable imports in the years 1S47
to 1861 we exported 90 cents in value
of domestic products, and that in the
years 1876 to 1890 for every dollar of
imports we exported S1.71 of domestic
products. In other words, our exports
were 2 per cent. less than our imports
under revenue tariff, and our exports
were 20 per cent greater than our i'm

1t is due to this policy that the ruins
of the ancient world vibrate with the
shrieks of a Philadelphia locomotive
1t is due to this policy that the holy
Kremlin at Moscow and the Vatican at
Rome are strung with wires that were
spun in the mills at Pittsburgh and
lighted with lamps that were made at
Lynn.
1t is due to this policy that the MUIR
mur of American sewing machines is
heard all over the palaces of Europe and
Asia
1t is due to this policy that the base
ment of the Parliament House in Lon
don is filled with machinery made at
L
E. Curtis.
Thus under home market regime
the employers success is dependent upon
and commensurate with the prosperity
of the laboring classes, because their
determines the market ba-
sis for his products.-Prof George Gun
ton.
We are beginning to understand that
The interests of Alabama and Pennsyl- |
Vania and the cotton manufacturing of |
Georgia and Massachusetts must stand |
Dr. fall together, and although Southern
Drotectionists are politically yoiceless
now, the time is coming when the South
will realize that her destiny is material
instead of political, and when she will |
defend and perpetuate this doctrine. =
Hon. J. f. Hanson, Of Georgia.
During a decade of ferocious attack
md gloomy prophecy by free traders,
We have added nation to a nation-a
nation complete in every particular. =
Hon. Robert p. Porter, Sup't Of the Cen
'uS.
The Empire State will, whenever the
;est is made, approve the tariff of 1890.
Ind in her high civilization, and is dis
,inguished by the distribution of the one
% and the enjoyment of the other by her
people. A frightful chasm does not
7awn impossible between poverty and
ignorance and education
lere. The successes in public and pri
rate life are free to the competition of
Ill, and are the rewards of industry,
economy and honesty. All have incen-
i've to progress, and never, by their con-
,ent, will the destinies of the nation be
to party without policy
md distinguished only for its backward
endencies.- Senator Frank HiScock
The people whom 1 represent do not
eek any bankrupt sales; they are not in
search of bargains that bring to their
iresides the atmosphere of want. If the
Importers of this town wait for their
7ictory until the farmers of Iowa vote
he manhood out of American life, or
institute boycott against the United
states of America they will crowd Me-
huselah for place. There is not vii
age in Iowa that has not its board of
rade, with brass band and cash do
nation for any well dressed man that
will come to it and agree to enter into
my form of industrial enterprise
r. p. Dollicer, Of IoICa.
The soil of Iowa is so rich, that it is
low used to fertilze the cemeteries, and
hus guarantee the resurrection.-HOn
