puOllcan party SAID immediately that the |
ports of the United States were going TO |
be thrown open to the ports Of the world. |
That is what we want American labor, |
with free raw material, can compete with |
the world. We believe in free raw ma
terials and a duty on manufactures just !
high enough for protection but not high |
enough TO foster trusts and monopolies. |
The Republican party claims TO be the
friend of the American worlSiugman.
The Democratic party absolutely denies
the existence OF any protected American
manufacturer who will give an American
workman 81 a day il he can get the
work done by Zulu or Hottentot for
S12j. 10 is only natural Ii Is the sys-
tenn which is at fault, not the men.
The history of the world Is n history
Of struggles for wealth and power. The
Democratic doctrine is that two Jobs
bidding for one man is better than two
men bidding for one job. The American
workman is the cheapest In the world
because his productive capacity is great
er than any in the world
"Free raw material has showed its
good effect in Massachusetts, where free
hides have revived the languishing shoe
trade. Today there is not a pair of for
eign made shoes upon the feet OF any

commensurate increase in income means

The financial panic and starvation of
1878 was at time when the walls Of pro
lection were higher than they have ever
been. Many of you remember those try
ing times.
Wealth Produced by Labor.
II don't believe any nation can make
itself rich by legislation. Wealth can
only be produced by labor; it cannot be
produced by law. That man is the best
citizen who is the producer And that he
may be encouraged TO produce

, law should protect him in the enjoyment

proportion of his wealth which he should
= surrender for the support Of that gov
ernment which protects him In the en-
joyment Of the balance If wealth could
be created by law / don't know that
there would be much objection 20 its dis
O tribution by law. When the power of
