and now they are called upon to sup
port measure making wool duty free.
| When l appealed to Senator Brice, my
colleague, and the other Democratic
senators to prevent this injustice they
! said that wool was a raw material, and
| that 1t was dogma of the Democratic
| party that all raw materials should be
| admitted free Of duty. Coal and iron
ore are raw materials and were by the
house bill admitted free, but these raw
materials were being developed in the
| south, and by the vote of southern
Democrats protective duty was put
upon them by the senate bill. But
woods, chiefly the product OF northern
farmers, was made duty free Any
Democratic senator could have pre-
vented this Injustice. When pressed
with their Inconsistency they said they
must make some raw material duty
free 10 represent Democratic principles
and selected wool for that purpose. The
whole bill as it became a law was a
bundle Of inconsistencies. What we
mean to do, and will do when we have
the power, is to provide a tariff and
tax Dill that will yield sufficient reve-
nues 10 support the government and
at the same time protect all home in
dustries impartially and effectually.
The Mckinley law, with such changes
as time may make necessary, will ac-
complish this purpose. The anticipa-
ton of such measure already bright
ems the times, and the election next
year of Mckinley, or any good Repub-
lican, as president of the United States,
will make assurance doubly sure In
the meantime we want a Republican
legislature and the election of Governor
NJ
United States senator. This is the
duty that assemblies you here.
FORAKER'S SPEECH.
Ex-Governor Foraker spoke at great
length and was accorded the close at
tention of the audience. He laid es-
pecial stress upon the failure of the
Democratic administration to carry out
its pledges and specified what he be-
heved to be injurious statutes passed
by that party. He declared that its
advent into power was the beginning
OF the country's distress, which had
been enhanced by its subsequent acts.
He picked to pieces the platform adopt
ed by the Democratic state convention
and said that no convention ever sat
IN Ohio that was SO absolutely the
property of one man. ready, willing
and anxious to do his bidding.
1T was notorious" said he. "that it
was both owned and 'bossed in the
most reprehensible sense of the word
Reverting to the national Democracy,
Governor Foraker continued: "As it
was the mere incoming of the Demo-
cratic party that destroyed our pros
perity, so too, is it now the incoming of
the Republican party to power that is
restoring prosperity. Throughout 1898,
the country had an object lesson it
should not soon forget"
He criticized the senate in its pass
age of the Wilson bill and said that
that statute was far from meeting the |
peoples wants.
1T will not be necessary. probably"
said he, ito do away so completely |
with the present tariff law. but it will |
be necessary to make some very radi- |
cal changes in the provisions, and to |
add to 1t some very imp rtant amend |
ments before it will ever give satisfac- |
ton to the American people. The |
changes will be so numerous and so |
vital that practically a new law will be |
necessary
ITO begin with. the whole subject of |
the tariff will have to be revised on
protection lines, with a, view to making
such rates of duty and so placing them
as TO raise enough revenue to support
the government, and afford such pro-
lection as may be necessary to enable /
Us to maintain our markets. our di-
industries, our skilled me-
,hanics an enable us to pay the Amer
can standard of wages to the wage
workers of the nation.
FOR the last two years the Demo-
cratic party has been broken and de-
moralized, appalled, and dismayed by
nf
This year they are making frantic eff
forts TO reform their lines.
THE battle we are to fight In the
coming campaign is not only for Re
Jubhcanlsm, for nationality, for pros
1erlty and progress, but it is also for
honesty and the good name of
our great commonwealth.
With harmony of purpose and unity
u EFFORT we can win a victory that will
inspire Republicans everywhere and
warrant the hope and expectat ton that
lext year Ohio will be honored by the
of Governor Mckinley to lead
is to national triumph"
