grcss in the embodiment Of those principles.

globe.
The revenue legislation OF the Fifty first
congress both In the tarln and the administra
tive act Is a Just and proper application OF the
policy OF protection TO American labor and the
control OF home markets for the industry OF
our own people; and the fruits Of this legisla
tion are increasing daily IN the establishment
of new factories, in steadior employment to
wnge-earners, in better prices to the farmer for
the products of the soil, and in the assurance
Of financial independence for our country in the
face Of monetary distress throughout Europe
and South America.

administration Is opening the markets OF the
western world TO our surplus farm products
and manufactures by admitting free OF duty

and Of the protective system, with the rcstora-
