New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1892-10-19
can administration of President Harrison

can administration of President Harrison
can triumphantly endure such a test. T
doubt if when the government of the
United States was instituted that any one
would have imagined that New York.
would be the city it is to-day.
The opponents of the Republican par
ty always represent New York as COM
mercial city and not a manufacturing
one, and yet the product of the manu-
factures of this city alone is $7OO.OOO,-
900. Anything that would cripple that
great interest would cripple the metro
polls seriously and to very hurtful ex-
tent. More men in New York get their
living from pursuits protected by the tar
if than from any other resources. I
know that New York is the center of
our commerce-the great entrepot of
trade-but all the men engaged in COM
mercial affairs, in and about New York
are smaller in numbers than the men en-
gagged in manufactures. Nor if you go
west where the Democrats this year are
making considerable effort and doing a
vast amount of boasting will you find it
different2 Take Ohio, take Mich gan,
take Indiana, take Illinois and the pro-
ducts of manufactures are greater in
pecuniary amounts than the products of
agriculture In your great states, so I
think that when it happens to Democra-
tic orators, who are on the wing, trying
to arouse the hostility of these states
against the protective tariff, they en-
counter a sentiment of which they have
not dreamed. We learn from the Dem
ocratic party that these Western states
are in a desperate condition. The amount
of their farm mortgages rolls up into
the millions. You would suppose it fab
ulous that the amount of money they
embrace could ever have been so invest
ed. This is not SO among the farmers in
New York; it is not so among the farm
ers in New Jersey; it is not so among
the farmers in Connecticut; it is not so
among the farmers of any state nearby
whose condition can be easily learned,
but by singular fatality it is the West
ern States that have got all these farm
mortgages. +. ~.
I do not like to say that gentlemen
have voluntarily misrepresented the
facts, but before accepting them as such
you will do we'll, and wisely, to demand
the proofs. The tariff, so the Democra-
tic papers say, is the organ of pluto
cratic government when wealth shall
rule and poor men shall not get their
rights. shall venture to challenge all
such statements of that kind, and shall
make the Democrats make pledges in
the case. A careful estimation of the
wealthy men in the country, published,
has demonstrated the fact to be quite the
reverse to such an extent indeed, that in
the city of New York, taking the first
fifteen fortunes, not three, not two, not
more than one, would be considered as
derived from manufacturing invest
ments.
have word to say about the Irish
vote. [ see it is stated that the Demo-
Gratis boast of having the mass of them in
their ranks this year. It is one of the
mysteries of our politics that question
which interests England so supremelv
which is canvassed almost as much in
London as 1t is in New York, should
have the Irish vote on the side of Great
Britain. If the Irish vote were solidlv
for protection they could defy the mach
nations Of the Democratic party for free
trade and throw their influence. on the
side of the home market Of America
against the side of the foreign market of
England.
I know my appeal has been frequent
" made to the Irish voters, but I make
it with emphasis now,for am unwilling
to believe that with the light of the
knowledge before them they Will delib-
~ d.. d.
erately be on the side Of their former
.oppressors.
