not that we mean to surrender the home
market. Our very ability to 90 out and
sell in competition implies our ability
TO stay at home and sell in competition
with the same people. Aud yet, fellow
citizens, let US never lose sight OF the
fact that If we are to sell our products
we must take in exchange for them
THE PRODUCTS OF THE PEOPLE
to whom we sell. There is no such
thing asa one sided trade between
nations. II is the interchange OF pro-
duts for products. When We keep out the
exports OF other countries we keep out
the price, and the only price that other
countries can pay for what we pro-
duce. For four years past we have
been selling to England two or three
hundred million dollars worth OF things
more than we bought, and large part
of our people have thought II patriotic
duty to abuse her for taking all these
things from US. For years past she
has bought from US two or three hun
dred million more than we have oought
from her. Has she paid us in money?
It's the most surprising thing about
England; as l walked down by the
Bank of England and those other bank
ing institutions which have branches
in South America, India, Australia.
Africa and Canada-the most
surprising thing to me, | say, was that
the entire money of England is bat
little more than 700, 600, 900 OF dollars in
our currency. If Eagland undertook to
pay us for what she buys we would have
the whole OF her money in years on
this side of the Atlantic. She ex-
changes. as far as possible, her products
for our products, her tin plate and man
ufactured goods, for our wheat, corn
and other food products, and as we buy
coffee from Brazil we pay her by orders
on England, as we buy tea, spices and
! SILKS from China and India, we settle
for thIsa by draft on the surplus which
England 'GTes VI. II, therefore, we
wish larger nfsIk9 IS we must accept and
seek larger importS s!ohs
TO PAY FOR WHAT We SEND OUT.
WHY, fellow citizens, suppose, IN,
stead OF in the year 1884, ."ool hdu
been put upon the free list ten u TWEEN
" years ago. The people OF TIC ar
gentine Confederation would not ot To-
day pressing you so strong In the waeal
market OF England. They would be
sending US the wool which we excluded
from America and receiving from us 10
exchange for that wool such products
rs we make aud they need. Because
we would not take their wool without a
tax of at least 80 ana more than 90
uer cent, because we shut her out OF
| these markets, because we prefer TO
make our people forego their necessary
wooleu cloth and dress In shoddy we
have driven her from being good Gus
toner of ours TO bs a dangerous com
petitor.
But fellow citizens, I shall not pursue
90 at any sDtcTG"I6HgtR" rnto the other
issues of this cam paign. IL Will be idle
for me 10 say to an intelligent audience
like this that read the newspapers, and
follow with vigorous interest the course
of public events, that believe the tariff
bill We passed in August measures up
TO the whole duty of the Democratic
party and the American people. Yet
when | sit down and compare the bill,
famed and mangled as 1t was
! in its passage, with the law in
| existence before II, l see that 10
launches the people OF this country
upon new career with their faces to-
wards Industrial prosperity in place Of
the ever deepening gloom and the fsful
and recedinR waves of prosperity that
came 10 us In spite of bad laws, in the
past. l am delighted to find, as | fully
| expected to find, after a months ab-
sence from this country, the signs Of
! reviving industry and rekindliGg pros
perity all over the land. / am equally
! delighted to find that prosperity is not
COMING BACK TO US N FLOOD
which would be but temporary and
leave Us again stranded In gloom, but is
! rising with the slow, resistless rise Of a
| tide that is 10 stay with Us for many
years in the future. / would not imply
by what l have said that the long stress
| OF hard times through which the Amer
lean people have passed has been en-
! tirslY due to bad fiscal laws. Such
laws aggravate these commercial
! crises when they come and spch laws
prove au insufficient barrier when they
try to come. But something more than
laws enacted in this country is charg-
able with the great financial crisis
through which all the leading nations
OF the world, one after another, have
been called upon 10 go during the last
few years. But | see on every side, in
this country, brighter outlook,
brisker gait in the daily walk Of the
business men, the doors Of the facto-
ries opening again, the smoke Of the
furnaces beginning TO rise, the ousV
hum Of machinery sounding It's cheerful
MUSIC TO OUR LISTENING EARS,
but for all that we feel that with more
liberal and enlightened commercial sys-
tenn, we shall not only offer no impedi-
ment 10 its growth, bat We shall help IL
forward In all the land.
