New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1892-10-05

gent labor; they owned it; they raised
the staple cotton, the great commodity
upon which they depended, owned the
labor, servile labor, owned it, and they
didn't care for the encouraging of man
ufacture, didn't care about the home
market because they have no one to sell
to except themselves: only raised this
great staple and were willing to receive
what the underpaid countries raised and
sent them, and so grew up their prinei-
pie of "buying where theycould buy the
cheapest and trading freely with one
country and another That was the
underlying cause which grounded them
in the principle of free-trade. They
voiced it in the southern confederacy and
strenuously sought to adopt it in the war
Of 1861. They believed in it and believe
in it now, though the war is over, not
for the purpose Of destroying the gov
ernment, but they were taught that way
and they have controlled the democratic
party until today: they controlled it be-
fore the war, they have controlled it
since the war. | say it in no spirit Of
hatred or ill-feeling, but the democratic.
party OF America is not the Democratic.
party Of Minnesota, or Of the northern
states, but the democratic party Of the
SOUTH and the South is willing and al
ways has been willing to trade with
| Great Britain and to exchange their
staples with that country without en-
nobling our home labor to share in the
benefits of fostered home industries. Re
publicans don't believe in that doctrine,
never have and never could if they tried
to, and on that basis we will fight out
this campaign and on election day will
find that we will have licked them so
bad that they will never find out what
hurt them. (Cheers and Applause.)
] We believe in different doctrine that
every man ought to have the chance to
live, alive and let live" that IS the one
thing we believe in in this country Of
ours: putting in diversity of indus
tries and have every man promoted by
it. The United States is big enough,
broad enough, has opportunities enough
to surpasss every foreign industry in the
! production Of materials; we believe in
encouraging g them, in supporting antt-ess
tablishing the home market and then the
foreign markets. I would like to know /.
talk about the markets of the world, the
world has no markets like the market of
the United States; take the three great
est countries the sun shines OH and it
does not compare with the market Of
these "a states and territories their mar
ket don't compare with them and we
don't want the market of the world, we
want but the home market preserved to
our people and as we increase in popu-
lation every year and extend our indus
tries, it won't be long, my fellow citizens
until we will have here every necessity
which our needs require md be able to
sell to our own people the products Of
| the soil and use the products ofour il
dustries among ourselves. When that
| day comes we will be a prouder nation
| than to-day and I sincerely hope it comes
and come it will even in our own life
time.
[ don't want to see any industry para
lized it isn't the question how cheap
things are or will be, but whether you
will build them up or not. With the
various trades all prosperous, the various
industries humming and the country
prosperous as to-day it is then that you
will find it growing faster and faster. all
the time and every year will note an in
crease in our prosperity and that time,
when the trades were found in parakzed
condition, will go further and further
away from us. Now, then, how are we.
to do that as republicans? We have
kshown you that this has been the repub-
l1can doctrine ever since it existed. The
/ products we make in this country,
whether by the manufacturer or from
the soil, whatever we need, our people
have the first right to the proposition,
and if they can solve it, we don't want
to have any outside help from any for
eign land. (Applause and cheers.
That is, if we can start the mill run
ming in Minnesota to make the articles
on our back, shoes, wool-Ware, hats,
boot-Ware, the garments we need, we.
. ought to do it. We believe in starting.
to work the machinery in Minnesota to
| manufacture the agricultural impl lements
