Virginia and of the country welcomed

taken part in his welcome. Referring to
political matters, Mr.. Wilson said he
should not be able TO talk in any ordi-
nary and satisfactory manner upon the
great questions of the public issues of the
day, because he had rushed from ship
board to train and from train to platform
with scarcely any chance for thought.
I'VE have reached said he that
stage in the development of our country
wherein we are compelled to have a
larger market for our surplus products,
and such markets, through foreign trade,
are the only safety valves for the health
and prosperity Of the American laborer in
the field and factory"
Reterringt to the struggle for Federal
taxation, he said it was a wonderful and
inspiring and popular resolution and
pledged the Democracy, as the party of
the people, to go on in the combat. ''On
one side," said he, ''lie good government.
honest, economical government, free in
duStry, large and expanding markets for
the products of American labor, and a
gradual dawning Of an era of Individual
prosperity. On the other side lie corrupt
government. fettered and imprisoned in
dustry, Limitation by law for the amount
which we can protitably produce. Those
are the two questions at issue before the
American people. and as l have said
before, giving a somewhat local applica-
ton TO what am going TO say to-day, the

is more market for wheat, and for the
mechanics is more market for manufact-
ured goods.
"If there is one thing to which [ gave
more attention than another during nv
brief absence from this country, it was to
the condition Of the wheat markets of the
old world. When l inquired why it was
that wheat had gone down to price
much lower than it has ever sold before
in the history Of at least modern England
and American, the answer was there is a
universal glut and q production beyond
profitable demand; that not only is the
United States increasing her export of
wheat, and Russia increasing her surplus
export OF wheat, but Argentina is COM
ing forward, and is now third in quantity
exported to European markets. | cannot
| but recall the fact, and | have stated it
again and again before the people of this
country, that the American tax upon the
woods OF Argentina made them give up
their sheep fiocks and go into competi-
tion with you in the production of
wheat. say it is for you to-
day a question of markets-a ques-
ton OF the consumers the world over
Tor the products you produce. | believe
so tar as the great cereals are concerned
we produce enough TO feed population
twice as large as our own. I believe so
far as staple manufactures are concerned
we produce enough to supply popula-
ton twice as large as our own. The
question is, Where are we to get these
markets?
I'VE have been holding for thirty years
tariff walls to keep other people from COM
ing IN to compete with us in home mar
keC already glutted. We have now begun
to tear down our tariff walls to let out our
products to compete with the rest of the
world in all the markets of the world.
while l was in London about two
weeks ago l was honored, very unex-
pectedIy to myself, with an invitation bv
the Chamber of Commerce to be their
guest at a public dinner. was surprised
TO receive such an invitation, because I
was seeking rest. and l knew then, as
well as l know to-day, that what L would
say on that occasion would be perverted
and falsitied by the American people, and
did not think l need be afraid to talk 10
the people of London as | talked to the
people of West Virginia. So l talked to
them just what l say to you to-day, that
in the past we have been building up our
tariffs to keep them out of the American
markets, and now we are tearing them
down to let us out in theirs and all the
other markets OF the world. And | said
to them, not only in the great product of
agriculture, not only i'll wheat, corn
cotton, beef and other beef products, bur
in the products of our manufactures they
might hencetorth find us competing with
them in all the markets they sought.
Thirty years ago we began to shut our
selves in from alt the markets of the
world; thirty years ago we called the
American merchant in from off the seas
and surrendered the oceans to England
and other nations TO traverse them with
their ships"
Mr.. Wilson continu ed his tariff argu
ment for fully an hours
