Mohave County miner., 1894-03-31


about tariff, and Il should quote his
language and show by what he says that
the tariff is for the benefit Of the East,
you would believe him.
Let me read from speech which he
made In Massachusetts on the twenty.
fifth day Of last October.
FROM THOMAS Is REED.
This speech was called to my atten-
ton by one OF the members from this
state, Mr. Bell, who had noticed il, and |
wish that every Republican living ives,
Of the Allegheny mountains could take
that and commit il to memory and think
over 1t at least once day. Let me
read what he says, and the applause be-
cause the applause indicates that the
people approved Of the sentiment: "And
let me tell you righ, here that there is
no state so deeply interested as the state
OF Massachusetts,"
Now. We have been told by Republi-
cans out here that every state WAS just
as much interested in protection AS
Massachusetts, have we not? And yet
MIR. Reed says that no state is as deeply
interested as Massachusetts, (Applanse. y
II II were not ior its conditions | should
say: LET these men try it; let Us have
the lesson oi free trade burned into the
quick, and then let Us have peace. Zap
p!ause.) But when Massachusetts begins
To mourn her destroyed factories, her
ruined industries, she has to mourn for
eternity. mo applause Now, listen, mark
these words, "Fof II they are once de-
stroyed the omniyorous West will do the
manufacturing for the country. (Ap-
plause.l Now, think OF il. You have been
told that II YOU once took off this tariff
that England would do the manufactur-
ing for this country that France would
do il; that Germany wonld do il, and
here the great apostle, who was placed
,s the champion to close the DEBATE,
who tells you that ii they are once de.
stoyed ''the omnivorons West will do the
manufacturing for the eonatry."
Let some Republics who is afraid the
omnivorous West is going 10 get some
thing at last defend protection for fear
IL will enable the West to do the manu-
| iactnring.
Well. now, YOU talk about sectionalism
Jet me read the rest OF IL:
You have the start; yon have the
power; yon have the prestige; you can
keep il or you can throw 1t away, and
the only WY you can keep it is by ma
in { the voice of the majority OF your peo-
| pIe to be he ,ri and /, bs he ard ar -. the
country (Applause.)
SILVER WILL RISE AGAIN.
Think OF i'll The greatest leader Of
your ptrty in congress talking to tn
state Of VI massachusetts, through this Re-
publican club. "You have the start You
have the power; you have the prestage." I"
He might have said "For thirty years
unjust legislation has given You the start,
the power and the prestage. (Applanse }
You can keep it or you can throw il
away. II you throw it away the omniv-
orous West. which has paid tribute into
your lap, will at Last have her share OF
IN .nufacturing." (Applause
No, my friends While your Republi-
can representatives are standing up and
defending protection because IL prevents
the West from establishing industry, as
long as they tell you that Massachusetts,
is more interested than any other state,
You cant expect them to advocate the
cause OF tariff reform, but You can ex
pect them TO aid tariff reform and bi
metallism equally before the law, and
the gold and silver coinage OF the con-
stuuti On. and carry them both together
an equitable standard TO success and VIC
tory. (Applause.) Will you help them to
do it?
You have mourned because you
thought silver was gone. Remember that
all over this land people have monrned
because they thought they were not al
lowed to use as they should the proceeds
of their own toll. The day ia coming
the morning sun is rising. Those who
have struggled for two decades for a
remedy from unjust taxation now see
the fufillment Of their hopes and will
you join with them and rejpice with
them? You have mourned because yon
thought silver was desytroyed, or at least
injured-yes, they told you that they
had destroyed silver. They told you
