HISL SuCCeSSluI contest lOr power IN
1860 with President Lincoln as its
standard bearer Secession followed.
The war for the maintenance of the
union was waged for four years, and
such a contest of arms the world had
never seen before and perhaps will
never see again. In the end slavery
was abolished and freedom became
univrsal within the borders of the re-
public With a bankrupt treasury,
under the direction of Lincoln the
party went back to the policy of Wash
ington and wrote upon the statute
books the revenue laws imosing du-
ties on imports that would produce
revenue and at the same time protect
every citizen OF the United States in
diyersifying the industries OF the re-
public. Ii was a contest for free men
and free labor everywhere within our
borders, The policy Of protection has
been the shiboleth OF the Republican
party from that day to this. Under
this policy we have become the first
nation in agriculture and manufac-
tlre. More than one-third of all the
manufactured articles in the world are
produced by American capital, by
American labor, which works shorter
hours than any people on earth, has
more steady employment than any
people on earth, and on the average
re elves one and three-fourths dollars
compensation when such labor else
where receives one dollar"
MIR. Cannon then went into details
concerning the economies OF the coun-
try, its excellence as a home market,
stating that in 1850 the wealth per
capita in the United States was $3O7
while in 1900 it was $1,235, and while
in 1860 the total wealth of the coun-
try was $lGOOO,0O0,0O0, it was now
over S1OO,OOOOOO,000. He then
spoke Of the wonderful increase of the
postal service under the Republican
party, mentioned the free rural de-
livery system now in vogue and de-
tailed The immense revenue received
from this branch of the government,
He said strikes were the result of
disagreemcnts Of divisions of profits
and were the ultimate results OF sea-
sons Of profits, He also told of the
trust-busting campaign of Roosevelt.
Then he gave q general resume Of the
work OF the Republican party since

ing. Let us make our nCEGmationt
