cities If it be not stopped, gold must con
tlnue to 60 abroad and employment must
become from day to day more scarce, until
whore there are now one, we shall see tens
of thousands Of men every where CRYING,
"Give me work. Only give me work
Make your terms. My wife and my chill
dren have nothing to eat" That is the
description of Horace Greeley, written in
1868, about the effect of the low demo-
cratic, British revenue tariff upon the in
dustres and prosperity OF our people Let
that answer Gen. Stevenson. LIST Gen.
Stevenson in his next speech meet the testi-
mony of Willard Fillmore, James Buchanan
and Horace Greeley, mon who lived in
that time and in that hour. And il that
was the golden period Of American his
tory, | pray God to give us no further
golden visitage. We don't have to
have the free soup hooses now. We've not
been compelled to open public soup house
in any State of this country since the Nor
rill tariff OF 1861. Under that tariff and
under the tariff Of 80 every man eats his
own soup upon his own table with his wife
and children. Talk about ~ to 'Gl, why,
| appeal to that history. If the young men
OF this country would only read the history
Of that period, there would be no doubt
about the result in November. There would
be no democrats, The history and the evil
denco would convict the revenue tariff be-
fore any jury of American citizens as a pub
lie enemy and opposed to the well being Of
this American people. Not only did that
low revenue tariff period break down the
manufactures, reduce its people to want,
but that low revenue tariff policy depleted
the public treasury and deprived this coun-
try Of any credit in the commercial world.
