upon tno state oanKs ana tnsU wyv--' ----
ought q be sufficient 20 defeat the Demo-
cratic party. Our experience under that sys.
tenn ~ money will be recalled by thousands
and hundreds of thousands Of tho people
through the country. and no man who has had
any experience with IL win want 70 return 10
II. IL means local money instead of national
money! IL means thas eaoh state in the Union
shall have money Of is own. issued By state
authority and under suoh regulations and
with such security as the several Legislatures
may determine. IL means that our money
shall be confined TO state lines, which viii In
terrupt and disarrange the Interstate COM
merce OF the country. Every man would be
required. II he wanted % DO safe-and then he
would not be safe-to carry what was known
as the old bank detectOr. and II Il proposed 20
go back 10 that II the Democratic party
should DO successful and the principles de-
clared at Chicago should DO put into perma-
nent forms OF legislation, We would hf ye the
British system OF free trade and tho old state
banks with their worthless circulation.
The British system of Free Trade
would reduce tho wages of every laboring
man in the United States, tho wages Of every
employe who performs service for another.
within strict sense, a. workmen, and whom
the wages are reduced then II 10 proposed 20
further cheat the laborer and employe by pay
ing him or in a deprecated currency; that IL
whore the Democratic leaders would put this
country II they were honest whom they made
their platform.
DO not believe that the sober, second
thought Of the people of this country wifi take
the chances, under any circumstances, Of q
Democratic victory. Our money should be as
national rs our hag and that is what IL II to-
day; and II should be as sacred as our natioaal
honor as sound as the government itself and
the people OF the country no more want free
trade and the conditions which ID will impose
than IL wants worthless state bank money
Free trade In this country would be well
coined by every European country, by every
commercial rival Of the United States and by
every enemy 20 our progress and prosperity;
free trade would increase foreign pro-
duction and diminish domestic prod uotion in
all competing products, until the laborers
Of this country would accept the mis-
erable wages which are paid foreign workmen.
Free trade would encourage the foreign shop
and discourage the American shop; IL would
increase the demand for workingmen abroad
and diminish the demand for workingmen at
home; IL would give employment 10 those on
the other side and take employment away
from those on this side; IL would increase tho
spmdles OF foreign factories and diminish
thcm in our own; build fires In their furnaces
and extingush them in ours; IL would open up
this market 10 their products and permit tho
foreign producer TO enjoy this greatest
and best market In the world, with
out condition or restraint, upon exactly tho
same terms that the producers Of our country
enjoy Ia this market today.
And do not forget that whatever OF our mar
Ret they take Is loss To our own country.
Protection Imposes It's Tarifrs
upon exactly opposite principles II permits
everything 10 come into this country except
luxurles which We cannot produce at home,
and puts its tariff upon those products from
abroad which come into competition with tho
products of our own soil and our own shops;
the products OF our own land and OF our own
labor. so long as we have To have tariff, the
Republican party insists that that tariff shall
be put upon the foreign product seeking O
market In the United States, in competition
with our own, and thus discriminate by such
tariff against the foreign product and the for
eign producer, and in favor OF the home pro-
duct and the home producer.
Protection thus encourages our own indus
tries and our own enterprises; our own invest
ments and our own people. Protection gives
employment TO our own labor; bread TO our
own people and market 10 our own producers.
All Europe wants Mr.. Cleveland elected
president and wants Benjamin Harrison de-
feated. May | not In this connection, state
that we have very much TO lose by the cleo
tion of Mr.. Cleveland, in the very direction of
their gain.
Mr.. Mckinley here quoted from foreign
papers to substantiate his statements. He
claimed that the new tariff law was vim
dicating Itself. The Democratic platform,
be- said, was declaration of retrogression
and a standing protest against tho pro-
gress and prosperity OF the country. He
then described his visit 10 Ellvood. Ind,
and the work accomplished by the tin
plate plant there In conclusion he
praised the National Republican league
and congratulated 1t In having General
Clarksou for a leader.
Speeches We're also made by J. Sloat
Fnssett and John NJ. Thurston of Ne
braska and Charles Morris, mulatto
from Kentucky. Vociferous applause
greeted the mention of Mr.. Blaine's name
