SENATOR HALE.

people are to engage in, In making up
the issues everything is plain sailing.
The Presidential candidate OF the
Democratic party and its platform
are all OF q piece. Let no Democratic
Senator here after this recital of the
deliberate act OF his party at Chicago,
claim that the difference of labor here
and abroad and the establishment OF
American industries based upon the
protective system are in any way
recognized by his side in this conflict.
As stated by the advocates Of the
tariff=for-resenueonl plank, which
was voted In by the convention,
all other legislation is not only
robbery, but is unconstitution-
al in itself. The whole system,
under which a prosperity unexampled
in history has been shown to the
world, is a makeup OF lawlessness and
fraud Every laboring man, with In
cidental protection to hislabor struck
out, is to. be put upon the basis OF I'M
derpaid and foreign pauper labor.
Hundreds OF great industries estab-
llshed In the United States are noti-
lied that their downfall approaches.
The protective system, with the legis-
lation that has grown out OF it, which
IN the last three years, and especially
In the last year, has produced such
astonishing results in our trade and
commerce is to go by the board.
Az showing some of the results of a
Republican administration under Re-
publican policy, / give certain official
figures. The excess of our reports
over imports in the threeyears ending
March 81, 1892, aggregated $281,197,-
361, or yearly average excess OF
1913, 49,, 456. For three years ending
March 81, 1889, the excess of our ex-
ports over imports was only $685.
984,479, showing a balance OF trade
during the three years of President
Harrlson's administration OF more
than $25O,OO0,OOO in excess of the
three years preceding that admins
tration. But the condition of trade
and the balance in our favor is still
more startling when the figures are
given for the last year ending April 80,
1892, which are as follows:
EXPORTS IN THE YEAR ENDING APRIL so,
1892.
During the twelve months ending
April 80, 1892, the exports OF mer-
chandise from the United States at
tanned the remarkable and unprece-
dented value of 81, oil, 5O5,279, far
surprising the aggregate value of ex-
ports in any prior twelve months in
the history OF American commerce.
The immense increase will be better
appreciated when compared with the
value OF exports OF corresponding
prior periods:
For II months ending April 80,
1881 3391 947
For u months ending April 30.
1899. s47, 6e4 256

For IL months ending April 80,
1855. 66l, OH, SOS
or an average value of 500 zoe, 9U9 during
thesix prior periods.
The value of the exports of mer-
chandise for the last twelve months
ending April so, 1892, exceed the av-
erage value of the exports of mer-
chandlse for the prior six periods
by the large SUM of 1901, So4,37O.
IMPORTS DURING THE SAME PERIOD.
the value Of the imports during the
twelve months ending April 80, 1892.
was $685., 09S, 765, and as follows
during the correspo nding periods:
Twelve months ending April 80,
1881 $685. O333 $50

or an averageyalue of 73O,1O2,11
during the six prior periods.
1t appears there was an EXCESS OF i'm
ports during the twelve months end
ing April 80, 1892, over the average
OF the six prior periods OF $1O1, 1885,
594.
ii heexports OF merchandise are
compared with the imports for the
twelve months ending April 80, 1892,
it will be seen that there is the large
excess of exports, or balance of trade
infaror of the United States of $179,
s4O6, 514. The increase of exports OF
the United States during the twelve
months ending April 80, 1892, was
1902 per cent. It is learned from
British authorities that there was a
decrease in British exports during the
calendar year 1891 of s. per cent.
The Calamity Craze.
The calamity sprang into existence
as the result of poor crops. 1t was
most prevalent in the Western and
Northwestern States The farmers in
these localities were poor men who
were struggling to make for them
selves and families homes upon the
lands the Republican party had given
