Iition of prosperity, everywhere there is
employment for all, everywhere is found
prosperous people, and all this Is due to
he republican party.
For an example Of the prosperity in the
west, let me cite few cities: In Milwau-
kee in 1880 there were S44 manufactures,
az against 1867 in 1890. The capital in
vested in 1880 was Sc, 900. 900 and in 1890
$40 900, 900; the wages were $43, DOC, 600
as against sol, OOO. 900 in 1890. In Mime
apolis there were in 1880 4O1 factories as
against z, ZOO to-day, 50 600, 900 capital in
vested against 100000 to day, the
product s., 900, 600 as against SO ooo &c.,
and the wages s29, 00O, 600 as against $780,
900, 600 to-day. At st. Paul the increase |
in wages during the past decade has
amounted to more than So, 100000. This
increase is due to the protective tariff and
yet the democrats denounce republican
protection as robbery and fraud perps-
trated for the benefit OF the few. The first
congress of the United States perceived
the Importance and necessity of a protect
i've tariff and it ia still necessary.
And now wish to say few words
GUS system of wildcat banking which John
Sherman [great applause] worked so
hard to destroy.
am glad to hear you applaud the names
of the Shermans, the one who has stood in
the houses of legislation when the country
was in its darkest hour the other who has
led our armies on the field of battle.
In 1900 there were 800 state banks in
the country, and the amount of spurious
| notes in circulation was tremendous, 30
John Sherman recommended that tax of
10 per cent. be put on the banks. When
that come to the vote, where was the
| democratic partys Just where it is to- day,
no matter whether g.. Cleveland recog-
| nized it in his letter or not.
Cleveland is not the democratic
party. Well, that recommendation was
| not carried out at the time. But it was
put through by Abraham Lincoln on the
21st day Of February, 1868. [Applausel
And since then this iniquity has ceased.
And now there is no discount on our
money, and it is republican money all the
was stopping recently in Canada business
man told me he had rather have a United
States treasury note than Bank of England
note, because it is easier to get the full
value of it.
And now one word more before close.
want to say something about the pen
sions. Now. how much have you given
for pensionsa The exact amount is 81 .424
100000. But it won't break us. In my
estimation it would ruin us if we did not
give it.
And now, my friends, I have spoken OF
our financial prosperity, the pensions and
other topics. But what is it that lies al
the root of it ALA What is it that makes
us what we are? 1t is the strength born OF
the union that makes our power felt IL
other lands; that makes reciprocity desir
able to foreign countries. 1t was the Unior
that sent General Grant--another good re
publican-on his triumphant march around
the world. And 1 will speak not only Of
those who have gone before me
but of those with whom I am as
ISOLATED. speak of enc who, nov
during the hour that is one of the saddles
of his life steadfastly remains a gentleman
of the highest Christian fortitude; of ont
who has done great work for the countr,
during the term of his presidency. AND
let your vote this fall prove that you ap
