With free trade and low tariff alike o
| came disaster and ruin to our manufactur-
/ ing and industrial interests, and depleted
| treasury.
With protective tariff, the balance OF
1 trade has ever been in our favor, our
National treasury equal to the demands
| upon il, and the industrial and CONNER
| cfal interests Of the country have been II q
| prosperous condition. Our National history
shows that this prosperous condition OF the
4 business affairs OF the country mas more
| than once been blighted by the application
| of the free trade or low tariff policy. The
| tide of prosperity rose and fell with the
| change of these policies. The Republican
party gained a prestige and coming into
power in 1861, has in q great measure been
| enabled to maintain its protective tarih
policy. up to the present time. Since that
| time cur country has prospered as never
before in its history. The growth ana
prosperity of the Amencan Nation IN the
last thirty years, is unequaled by the nlsto-
ry of any other Nation on the face OF the
globe. During that period we have bullt
up the safest and grandest system OF
National currency in the known world.
Our treasury has been able to meet all de-
mands upon it. One half OF large war
debt has been extinguished. Our soldiers
including the widows and orphans OF tnose
who gave their lives as sacrlnce 10 lidln-
| tain the integrity of the Union, have oeen
provided for out of the public treasury.
Our national credit both at home and
abroad has been strengthened. Some OF
our matured war bonds have recently oeen
cancelled and replaced with new bonds at
. per cent. interest. The honor ana lnIeg
ritv of our national flag, and our CONNER
cial interests with foreign Nations upon
land and sea have found respect ana
been maintained. The balance of trade
uuder the protective tariff system Is large
lv in our favor. Competition in the manu-
facture of many protected articles has re-
dueed the prices of such articles below
the prices of like articles IN
foreign markets; whilst the wages oil
labor in all branches OF industry
remain higher than those OF foreign coun-
tries ,
Such have been the good results of the
Republican policy. The question oil To-Day
is not new one. The experiment OF lree
trade or its counterpart low tarin wnlcn
the Democratic party now proposes mas re-
suited in repeated failures in the past, and
Judging by the past, there is no promise OF
better results for the future. Shall we try
il again or shall we hold fast to the policy
which has given us thirty years OF unex-
ample1 prosperity
Shall we turn our backs upon pohcy
which has developed our natural resources;
built up our country and given us National
strength and greatness, commanding the
respect of all Nations, and again bow down
to the commercial power of England and
worship her with our tribute; or shall we
maintain this wise policy and by so dong,
compel England to pay tribute to usf
There is but one answer for every true
Anne rican citizen, and that is to vote Tor
protection to his home, and native land.
