HON. c. S. vARIAN,
the Republican candidate, was next
presented amid applause on the Re
publican side. He began by saying
he wanted to say something He want
ed to discuss both the economic and
monetary questions. We are now con-
fronted by practical free trade enanat-
ing from the Democratic party. Eng
land pursued a protective policy for
several hundred years. But she was
situated so that she had to get her
raw materials from other countries.
She built UP her merchant marine by
depending more than 5000, 900 900 in less
than fifty years in subsidies. Adam
Smith, the great economist, showed in
his book how England would be bene
flied by free trade. which would send
her goods into other markets because
/ she had no markets of her own. She
adopted free trade and reached out
into the Orient and the Occident and
brought to her manufacturers raw ma
terials in her own ships. Then, with
her own resources, she used the raw
ma terialS of the world. 1t is perfectly
clear that the results of the system
she adopted were seen just in time and
the result has amply justified her
ton of the world She forced the ma
tons of the world to take her goods
and the balance of trade went into her
own treasury.
But here we have a country that is
differently situated, because it has
many resources and can produce all
it wants for it's own manufactures.
1t does not want to have people COM
posed Of merchant princes and paupers.
The Republicans want to work only
the benefit of all the people The pol
icy of England is to force her goods
upon mankind and she has forced her
self into every market but ours. This
government is here to look after the
United States. The Republicans do not
want to look after the people of South
Africa or China or even England The
doctrine of the universal brotherhood
of man has no application in the policy
that governs nations. The warfare of
trade is too great to allow that. If the
principle of protection is right it
means the building UP of the in
dustries of this country, the i'm

and brings out money. The Demo-
cratic party believes in cheap goods
and cheap men. But cheap goods
bring about a scarcity of money and
when the Democrats support free trade
they are. cheapening their own souls.
The characterization of silver was ac-
complished under q. Republican Senate,
la Republican House and a Republican
president, by a Juggling by financiers.
The conference committee which
signed the report in favor of the bill
contained Thomas F. Bayard, that
prominent Democrat. A Republican
Senate during Mr.. Clevelands's first
term passed a free coinage bill and it
was killed in. the Democratic House.
The Republican party is the party of
silver. The Democrats are pledged to
the nnononetallic basis until they go
back on their leader who has swal-
lowed the whole party The stoppage
of silver purchases came from Mr.
Carlisle, as also did the paying of gold
for silver certificates
During the former administration of
Mr.. Cleveland, blankets were bought
for the sick soldiers from the English
manufacturers because they underbid
the Americans.
Then about Hawaii After the re-
peal of the Sherman, law had failed of

his attention nearer home instead of
endeavoring to restore the queen of

his speech, the gentleman took up the
idea of protecting the producers of

taking up wool, lead, cotton, silk, whea,
and other products and saying they
should be favored. He said that men
from all over the country are 1ocking
to Washington to protest against the
adoption of the Wilson bill. He said
he would introduce a joint memorial
asking for protection on wool Then
he took up the sugar factory. Self
interest is moving all the people in the
United States. There are many now
out of employment here who are walk
ing the streets and wanting employ
ment. This condition did not exist
last year under a Republican admin
istration, but it does exist now under
Democratic rule.
PROF. H. J. PAUL
was then introduced and he received
an ovation. AS he proceeded with his
speech, he awakened great enthusiasm
and running fire of applause was
kept up.
Mr.. Paul said: On silver I under
stand Mr.. Varian to assert that since
about the only friends silver has and
about the only votes silver gets are in
the Democratic party, therefore we
should vote for the Republican party,
which contains almost no friends of
silver
On sugar I understand him to say
that the sugar factory has done we'll
this year and I agree with him that
that enterprise is a most worthy one;
but cannot see why he should say that
in a year when almost al other in
dustries have done but poorly. a tax
should be levied on all the industries
that did not do well, in order to give
