day said Why have We anew
issue ~
81 will tell you why It So we
have a new issue. They have
run completely out on tile old.
They wee whipped to stand
still before they started On the
tariff. Unlike 1892, We now, all
of us, understand the tariffsgues
tion. You cannot find d labor
ing man anywhere in tile Bnited
States who does not nov under
stand it without an argument,
that if you make a product across
the water, in some other country,
you do rot have to make it in
this country That ifyoomake
it over there, there is ii, increas-
ed demand for labor over there,
and that much less demand for
labor over here. That Isl what
the labonng man has learned.
The farmer has learned some
thing too Times have been
pretty hard on him. He is SELL
ing his products at the cheapest
price ever known since before
the war. He has found ont that
to have good demand and to get
good prices for his product, lie
must have a good home market
UNCLE SAM WANTS i CHANGE.
And then there is Unele Sam
himself. He has found out some
thing. In the twenty seven years
the Republican party controlled
the country, afterthe close Of the
war down to 1892, we paid Off and
cancelled forever more than ST.
10000 5000 OF the public debt.
During the three years and a
fraction of Democratic free trade
rule they have paid Off nothing
but have increased the public
debt by more than 1862 ,0Oo, 900.
Uncle Sam is just nov ealculat-
ing how long, at that nal it will
take him to getoutso Of debt. He
has made upshis mind like some
other people did in 1882 that ihes
wants a chang sand u have
a Change just as soon as the law
and the constitution willsallow it.
WHERE THE TROUBLE CAME FROM. 4
There hasnot been any trouble
with it until during the last two
or three years. Until Mr.. Cleve-
land came into power the second
time, you did not hear anv com
plant about our money, did yous
You did not hear of any trouble
with the gold reserve. All this
trouble has arisen since then.
Why /. And simply because
as every intelligent man knows,
they adopted a policy of free
trade as contradlstlnguished to a
protective policy, and the first
result was the paralysis of bust
ness, and the second result was
deficient revenues to the Govern,
ment. When people see that a
government takes in less money
than it has to pay out, they be-
gin to get distrustful Of it, When
the creditors of this Nation saw
the Democratic party in power
and saw the kind Of policy it
entered upon, and saw its results
they got uneasy, they commenc-
ed demanding payment, and then
you heard for the first time that
that there was gold reserve, and
as the singer said awhile ago, it
was stumbling down. and soon
bonds had to be issued.
Now, my fellow citizens, the
best remedy for this whole trou.
BILE is to put the Republican par
ty back in power, restore the
policy of protective tariff, re-
inaugurate the policy of recipro-
city, and give to .he American
people an economic administers
ton under which the Government
would have enough revenues to
live and everybody engaged in
