What Thinking Men Have Said.

the surplus produce of the soil is of theI
first consequence" Alexander Hamil-
ton.
''In the light of history and expe-l
rience can it be possible that our farm
ers will be deluded into accepting theI
policy of free trade? cannot believeI
it."-J. c. Burrows.
THE western farmers instinct isl
wiser than Mr.. Gladstone's philosophy.
The farmer knows that the larger thej
home market the better are his prices,
and that as the home market is nar-l
rowed his prices fall. James G. Blaine.
'The greatest interests of an agricul-I
tural, commercial and manufacturing
nation are SO linked in union togetheri
that no permanent cause Of prosperity
to one o. them can operate without ex-
tending it's influence to others. John
Quincy Adams.
Congress has repeatedly, and not,
without success, directed their atten-:
ton to the encouragement of manufac-
lures. The object is of too much con-
sequence not to insure a continuance Of.
their efforts every way which shall ap-;
pear eligible. George Washington.
'sThe market follows the workshop.
That country which has its fields farth-
est from it's factories and furnaces is
poor in proportion as the distance is
great. The power and greatness and
glory of our nation is due more to the
observance of this principle than to
all other causes combined. "-Binger
Herman.
"When under protection American in
dustries shall employ bread eaters suf-
fcient to nearly consume American
cereals, then the farmer will no longer
sell his grain at cost of production or
less. He will escape the competition of
the ryot and serf. His industry will be
profitable - his calling honored and
truly independent. Senator Casey.
''In all that goes to make a nation
great and strong and independent we
have made extraordinary strides. In
arts. in sciences, in literature, in manu-
features, in invention, in scien-
tiic principles applied to manufac-
ture and agriculture, in wealth and
credit, and national honor we are at the
very front, abreast with the best, and
behind none. William Mckinley, Jr.
The republican party is a party Of
progress asd of liberty toward it's
opponents. 1t encourages the poor to
strive to better their condition, the
ignorant to educate their children to
e enable them to compete successfully
with their more fortunate associates;
and, in fine, it secures an entire equal
lily before the law of every citizen, no
matter what his race, nationality or
previous condition. ~. S. Grant.
Draw from agriculture the super
abundant labor, employ it in mechan-
ism and manufactures, thereby creating
a home market for your breadstutfs.
and distributing labor to most proiita-
bic account, and benefit to the country
will result. Ta.e from agriculture IN
the United States six hundred thousand
men, women and children, and you at
once give a home market for more
breadstuffs than all Europe furnishes
us"-Andrew jackson.
There is no subject which can enter
with greater force into the deliberations
of congress than a consideration of the
means to preserve and promote the
manufactures which have sprung into
existence and attained an unparalleled
maturity throughout the United States
during the period Of the European wars
this source of national independence
and wealth | anxiously recommend
therefore, to the prompt and constant
guardianship of congress. james Mad

''rhere are few classes of worl,meI
in many respects SO thoroughly wretch
ed as the English agricultural laborcrs'
| They are in many respects SO mlserablJ
| poor that if they Were converted int
slaves Tomorrow it would be to the in

Throughout large agricultural district
not single agricultural laborer will b'
found who has saved SO much as +;
weeks wages. A life of toiling and in

The republican party is now, as
: ALWAYS has been, the friend and d'
fender of the peoples rights. III
statement that it has been guilty
class legislation is statement unsul
ported by facts 1t has legislated K
the people of the whole country; it
doing so to-day. Over the barriers {
obstruction placed across its pathway b
the democratic party with colum

tory for the people. 1t will achieve
party triumph in achieving trump
