The record-union., 1897-03-25

mateIy OF more than $500, 00O.OOD per
annum to the laborers of the country
above that which has been derived
heretofore Under the operation of this
bill we claim that S12o O00, 900, now
sent abroad to buy sugar, will, every
dollar of it, be expended in the United
States. We look for that time, and
shortly. when under the operations of
this wool schedule every spindle in the
United States will turn and the enor-
nous payments for labor, the end OF
which passed in 1892, shall again be
part of the heritage of the laboring
man.
1--WE believe that the farmer on the
mighty farms of the West, on the al
IuviaI soil of the South and everywhere
will be benefited by this bill
I'VE propose to build up the industry
of sugar growing and thus devote to
that great industry many tens of thou
sands of acres of the rich land of the
United States and take that land out
of competition with the farm.
THE policy of this bill has been and
is and will be- if it should pass into
law, to give to labor the degree of en-
ployment in the United States which
will cause to be expended in this coun-
try every dollar that is expended for
such products of the soil, of the mine,
of the shop and of the factory that we
can produce in the United States on
equal terms with the foreign producer
1--WE propose that this country shall
put itself en- a war footing for the pur-
pose of maintaining itself. We propose
that it shall be in a position to produce
its own sugar and it's own wool and it's
own commodities of every character
that God in His wisdom has made it
possible to produce in this continent.
Then. turning aside from discussion
of the merits of the tariff, Mr.. Grosve-
nor reviewed and criticised in scathing
terms the history and attitude of the
Democratic party on national issues,
while he &C mmended in warm terms the
record of the Republicans on these mat
ters. In conclusion he said:
"And, my countrymen, in this hour
the Republican party is called upon by
voice es that sound out of all lessons of
1.-The past and sound out of all the
teachings of to-day to stand by the
principles of it's party and give to the
country this enactment-give to the
country this Dingley law.
4 congratulate my distinguished
| leader that his name is to be associated
With another act of redemption. Lin
coins name has been forever linked
with his emancipation proclamation;
McKinley's name has been forever
linked with the Mckinley law, and
| DingIey's name shall go sounding down
the corridors of time as the champion
of the law that after the great struggle
| in 1896 brought back the country to
prosperity and peace.
1T is cur duty and advantage, my
Republican friends, to participate in
| this great battle. Do not be misled by
the attacks of the enemy on this law
Stand together Stand for the princi
Piles of your party, and in the coming
years it will be said of you, This man
and his party brought the country out
of the wilderness of Democratic ruin
the Jordan of discord and trouble, and
brought it into the promised land of
prosperity and happiness.
In the course of his remarks, Grosve
nor referred to a statement by McMillin
| that Mckinley had been overwhelmed
with defeat after the passage of the bill
which bore his name. 1t was true. he
said, that Mckinley had been defeated
for reelection. but in a gerrymandered
district. normally Democratic by 5000
majority, and with all the power of the
| Democracy at work against him, with
such speakers as David b. Hill, then a.
