reduced until 1888. when under the at
tack Of Mr.. Calhoun, Mr.. Clay consented
to his first compromise and there was
enacted the compromise tariff of 1888,
known as the sliding scale, by which,
year by year, the duties were lowered
until they arrived at their minimum and
then came the consequent panic of 1887
and it was after it had had its full effect
upon the people, that in 1910, even as
we in 1894, voted upon the lines of the
popular demand from depression and
oppression by the re.enactment of q
protective tariff"
In speaking of the Morrill, war tariff
of 1861 he said standard of living had
been established for the American
worklngmnn. Continuing he said; Il
have so far appealed, ladies and gentle
men, to your own experience, but am
indebted to a summary made the other
day by Mr.. Joseph Nimmo, formerly
chief of the Bureau of Statistics for GER
tain facts in regard to it. The popula-
ton of the United States in 1860, that
being the census year, was 31,000,000,
in 1894 it had doubled to $4,000, 900.
Now, IL with the doubling of the popu-
lation there had been doubling of the
commerce, foreign and domestic, a
doubling Of wealth, a doubling of the
products of manufacture, and an
equality in the rate Of wages, would
anybody have a right to Criticise or
complaint But what are the facts 2
While the population in these 30 years
doubled, your foreign commerce trcbled.
Now, mark you, this was under pro.
tective tariff and our Democratic friends
tell YOU, we ought to have free trade
tariff in order TO enjoy the commerce Of
the world. Your foreign commerce was
increased three-fDd or from GS7 millions
to 1857 millions, while your wealth
mark the stupendous development-rose
from 10000 millions in 1850, 10 $1,000
millions in 1890. That is the answer of
protection 10 free trade"
