lection, has fostered and built UP i'm
mense manufacturing concerns in this
country. and we have the testimony of
Europe itself that we are now able to
ccmrete for the trade of the world.
Thai being the case, reciprocal ar
engagements which. will foster and en-
courage that trade, which will give us
those things we need, in return for
those articles and things which we are
in position Ito export, will place this
nation as a giant in the markets of the
world, and will stamp the republican
party again as gifted with the wisdom
to see and the, craftsmanship to enact
into life and being the policies which
are best for the nations Industrial and
commercial interests.
The statements that the people of
Minnesota do not want free lumber and
the people of North Dakota do not
want free wool, are not pertinent, mol
are they properly argumentative in
this connection. McKinley's Buffalo
speech did not argue for the removal
of protective tariff, where it was val
liable and necessary to a large class OF
producers in this country, and the
statesmen of the republican party will
not enact legislation which shall be
harmful to any great industry in the
name or under the cloak of reciprocity
or anything else. For, note here the
words of the martyred president, who
looked ahead and, with the shrewdness
and wisdom of the statesman, saw the
necessity of reciprocal trade arrange
ments, and at the same time would
guard with jealous care the industries
already built up:
I'VE have a vast and intricate bus
mess built up through years of toll
and struggle, IN which every part of
the country has it's stake which will
not permit either of neglect OF of IN
due selfshness. No narrow, sordid
policy will subserve it. The greatest
skill and wisdom on the part of manu-
facturers and producers will be re-
quired to hold and increase it. Our
industrial enterprises which have
grown to such great proportions, affect
the homes and the occupations of the
people and the welfare of the country.
Our capacity to produce has developed
so enormously and our products have
so multiplied that the problem OF more
markets requires our urgent and i'm
mediate attention Only a broad and
enlightened policy will keep what we
have. No other policy will get mor

Now to the statement that tariff re
vision should not be accomplished
with a view to reciprocity, read thes
words of the same speech:
