period OF protection in lSS3a and SS4
,0S5 pounds came in ! know that
this always happens when Il protect
i've tariff * levied AMI properly rn-
forced, there Is an increase IN domrs-
tic production; the man don't live who
can find that n single article that has
ever been taxed but the production
has been increased. la 1890 when
the Mckinley bill came up n clause
was put in giving ! cents per pound
protection to lead, and every Demo
crat in the house and senate voted to
strike that clause out, voted to re-
duce the duty 100 per cent, shat Is. to
=, OF cent per pound, and toVhOmas
II. Carter OF Montana more than to
any other living man today l. due the
fact that that protection OF II cents
a pound held its | lace. and that the
people OF Montana are protected To
that extent at least.
"Now, the Democratic party are
pledged to a tariff for revenue only.
That does not come under :he head OF
an article that We tax. They have
shown their animus, they have shown
their determination to strike the tariff
off when the Mckinley bill was up
They have taken steps against 1t, aud
the Republican party IN lts admins
tration have stood right up by lead
in this country. Now then, this ques-
ton stands in this shape ana no
other. On the one hand you have
some hope, on the other You have
none whatever. Grover Cleveland Is
a single standard man. He does not
bell, We in hi-met alism. He has never
uttered word that can be construed
INTO an endorsement oi it. He has
uttered words that has plainly showed
his prejudice against II. i aS q silver
man from Montana should never
think OF voting for him or his party.
/ believe that "A thorough discussion
OF these questions such rs Will be bad
will bring the people OF tins countryto
realize that the policy advocated and
defended by the Democratic party is
not the policy under which this
country can flourish. ! believe the
Republican doctrine as Will be anuuu-
ciated and explained will appeal to
the good Judgment and the common
sense OF The American people, AMI |
believe they will he restored to power
for another four years.
81 see no chance of anybody but
Mr.. Cleveland or Mr.. Harrison h,com-
ing president. They may cry calamity
as much as they please; they may de
clare that everything is bottom side
up and that rum is staring us in the
face, but the fact still remains that
there is not a country on the lace oi
the earth that ~ Ia prosperous as the
United States OF America ut the pres
ent moment. The blessed fact still
stands that while. rs he Democratic
party claim, we have brrn robbed aud
plundcrel for the last thirty years by
the Republican tnIIf, 'hr great fact
stands that We have Increased our
wealth 30 per cent i'm these same
years. Sixteen billion dollars when
We took the 2overunrh; from the free
trade Democratic party; -iNty four
billion dollars today iu -gS. IL this
is robbery ! say let H. berobbpd some
