evening. At the same time, l am
not making speeches in the canvass
for reasons which are we'll known to
my friends, and which have no con-
nection whatever with politics.
Generally administrations in Presi-
Dental election are challenged on
account of the condition Of business
of the country and 1 submit that
the Republican Administration of
President Harrison can triumphant-
ly endure such test. l doubt if
since the Government of the United
States was instituted anybody at
any time has seen what we call
good times so general, taking in so
many interests and spreading pros
perity throughout TIE whole do
main of trade. I might appeal to
New York, if the city has ever
passed a season more satisfactory
in financial results than that of the
past two years, in which the general
effect on capital and labor has been
more prosperous.
NEW YoRK's PROSPERITY.
THE opponents Of the Republi-
can party always represent New
York as q commercial city and not a
manufacturing one; and yet the
product of the manufactures of this
city is slOO,OOO,OOO. Anything
that would cripple that great inter
est would cripple the metropolis
seriously, and to a very hurtful ex-
tent.
"More men in New York get their
living from pursuits protected by
the tariff than from any other
source. l know New York is the
center of our commerce, the great
centre port of oar trade; but all the
men engaged in commercial affairs
in and about New York are smaller
in numbers than the nIen engaged in
manufactures.
SENTIMENT IN THE WEST.
"Nor if you 90 West, where the
Democrats this year are making con-
siderable effort and doing a vast
amount of boasting, you will find it
different. Take Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana, or Illinois, and the pro-
ducts of the manufactures are great
er in pecuniary amount than the
products of agriculture in these
four great agricultural States. So
that I think that the Democratic
orators who are on the wing trying
to arouse the hostility of these
States against the protective tariff,
will encounter sentiment of which
they have not dreamed.
ave learn from the Democratic
party that these Western States are
in a desperate condition, The
amount of their farm mortgages roll
up into the millions. You would
suppose it fabulous that the amount
of money they embrace could ever
have been so invested This is not
so among the farmers in New York ;
it is not so among the farmers in
New Jersey it is not so among the
farmers of Connecticut it is not SO
among the farmers of Pennsylvania.
1t is not SO among the farmers of
any State nearby whose condition
can he easily learned, but by a
singular fatality it is the Western
States that have got all these farm
mortgages burdening them and
taking the life out of the people l
do not like to state that gentlemen
have voluntarily misreprescnted
facts, but before accepting them as
such you will do well and wisely 10
demand the proof.
THE DEMOCRATIC HOWL.
"The tariff, so Democratic papers
say, is the origin of plutocratic
government, when wealth shall rule
and poor men shall not get their
rights. shall venture to challenge
all statements of that kind and ]
shall make the Democratic accusers
the judges in the case.
"a careful examination of the
list of wealthy men in the country
has been made and published and
has demonstrated the fact to be
quite the reverse, to such an extent
indeed, that in the city of New York,
taking :he first $50 great fortunes,
not three, not two, not more than
one would be considered as derived
