United States and would carry with him

Harrison in the White House.
Imagine what the conutry would be
with Senate like the House and David
B. Hill in the White House. Would any
of you be anxious to build additions to
your factories? AS to the Presidential
question, the enemy is delivering itself
into our hands, think
There are two parties in every ques-
ton. In this matter there are two parties,
one OF progress and the other that which
collects the drift wood together. No man
now doubts that it was right to maintain
the Union; that 1t was right to free the
slaves; that il was right TO pay the ma
tional debt dollar for dollar. You can't
get up fight with the Democratic party
on an issue ten years old. You have only
right to judge a man by what he has
been, not by what he promises TO do.
80 with the parties; you have only a
right to judge party by what it has been
and done. The record OF the Republican
party speaks for itself. The two ques-
tions attracting attention now are those
on the coinage and the tariff. We think
we are right. We think ii is not wise TO
issue WltnOuJ lltnlJltlOn uOllar Wnlcn Is
not worth dollar. lt seems TO us that
it would ultimately result in mono
metalism.
We know where the Democratic party
would be if IL got the President and both
houses of Congress; although David B.
Hill has declared that he will veto any
such bill which a Democratic Congress
might pass.
The country is on the whole prosperous.
IL would be sublimely so If we were sure
that it remain as it is for the next four
years. The Democratic party has not the
courage OF its conviction on any question.
We are against free coinage and we say
so. we are against free trade and we say
so. They are going into the campaign
ostrich fashion, they have tried every
thing and when they cant run further
they stick their head in the dust.
There is no raw material II it has been
worked ss for an hour Raw material as
talked OF by these men is simply n delu-
sion. The Republican party believes i'm
protection TO our Industries. Great
Britair.is a free trade country. We found
ourselves in possession OF this broau coun-
try from which every imaginable thing
can he produced. The possession of all
these resources was a command from the
Almighty to 10 ahead and develope them.
"We are here 10 develop natiou-a
fully-dcyelOped nation. We are where we
can produce everything that we need eX-
cept tea and coffee aud few other trihes
which are not worth mentioning. Let the
other count ries take care of themselves,
rs we do. So without any cruelty 10 any
body we are 20 build up great American
nation The ideal state and country is one
where every industry is TO toe found.

manulactories are built but does not

us that we ought 10 Increase the fres- -llsl-
We have every pime We hayS made anv

country should become what is intended
for IL.
