New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1892-05-11
SEN, DAVIS GREAT GRAFTON
CONTINUED from first page.

France and England had excluded Amer
lean beef and pork and mutton from
their markets, but the American grazier
and farmer was protected by the passage
of a bill which authorized the president
when the necessity should appear to him
TO so warrant to discriminate in like
manner against the products of those
countries Yet some one will tell you
that nothing was done in the interests OF
the American farmer.
1t redeemed the promises Of the Re
publican party Of the nation to the $780,
00G men who nearly thirty years ago
marched down to the valley OF the sha-
dow of death; it passed bill witch con-
ferred infinite benefactions upon thou
sands of homes. Cheers. There were vast
grants of land held by railroads where
roads had not been constructed according
to agreement Those grants were thrown
open to settlement. 1t passed the McKin-
lev bill, of which / shall speak a little
more. Cheers. When the war
broke out direct tax was levied upon
all the states in the North up
to S17,OOO,OOO. The Southern states, of
course, never paid cent. That congress
gave back that money to the states, and
of that amount Minnesota received as her
share $1OS,O00 It established a circuit
court of the United States and additional
circuit Judges for the due, orderly and
rapid administration of justice. 1t made
binding and stringent laws against the
criminal and pauper immigration from
If me
workingman, relieving him from undue
competition. Cheers AS to our for
eign relations the record isjust the same.
When we came into power we were quar-
reling with Germany about the Samoa
question. That matter has been settled.
We were disputing with Great Britain in
regard to the fisheries on the northeastern
coast; that quarrel is in allegiance. A
merican rights were questioned by Great
Britain i'll Behring sea. By wise provis-
sion. which I hope to heaven the nations
will initiate, it has been referred to a
tribunal to arbitrate. And all this has
been brought to pass by the greatest adj
ministration that the country has ever
seen in time of peace. Cheers Tell me
one single man if you can; let him rise
in his place-What act has the admins
ton done to which any Republican can
look with questioning eye? Cheers
and cries Of ''not one" Has anything
wrong been done? Cries of mo, no" Has
not everything that is CHIT been attempted
and most tina is right been done? One
thing remains, and it is not the fault of
this administration if the time has not
been reached when every man,no matter
what his condition, no matter what his
color, can walk up to any ballot box in
the land and have his vote count.
TCheers. am proud Of the Republican
party for the last three years; | am proud
of the administration; | am proud of
Benjamin Harrison Cheers. Quiet
learned, patriotic, self-contained, indom-
liable, honest, what American interest has
suffered at his hands Or under his con-
Sideration? In what quarter Of the seas
has not the majesty Of the American flag
been asserted or American honor upheld:
What unrepublican or self-seeking act
has been discharged by him. He deserves
and he will receive, when the time comes,
ample demonstrations of the confidence
the American people have in his great
administration of her highest trust. Loud
cheers.
Besides him stands another figure,
peerless in American history, a man with
discernments, looking before and after,
man whose heart has burned with pat
riotic fire, whose brain has glowed with
patriotic thought, ever since most OF us
were boys; his eyes upon the destlmes of
the country, shaping them to that great
end to which God has destined her l
mean James. G. Blaine. Enthusiastic
and long continued applause. ..~
Knight 90 through all of these depart
ments were it necessary to add anything
in confirmation of the truth of the remark
with which I started this branch of my
ject-namely, that the affairs of the
country viewed from whatever stand
point, whether of party, political or NOR
al, have been administered by the Repub-
ican party in the most exceptional
manner. Cheers. The Democratic
party for the past fifty years has been the
party of stolen goods and false pretenses.
Laughter. 1t is now executing a sort
of skirt dance before the American peo-
pie in the hope of alluring and deceiving
them Cheers It stole into power in
1914 on the cry Of Polk and the tariff OF
AZ. 1t violated that pledge. 1t stole
power, SO far as the house of representa-
tives is concerned, two years ago by the
most indiscriminate and encyclopedia
lying that this country has ever had.
Laughter Their leaders promised if
they were given the power that they
would lift, or would attempt to lift, this
Ubiquitous Mckinley bill from the necks
of the people. This is what Mr.. Castle,
Mr.. Harries and the rest elected from this
state said. 1--WE will show you," said
they, 1--WE will bring about a better or
der of things, and the political milleni-
UNI will come and last 1000 years."
What have they done?
The first thing they did was to send to
his everlasting sleep so far as his hope
of the speal5ership was concerned, the
anostla of their creed Mr. Mills TIal1oh
