We are going to revise the tariff too.
But it is going to be a thorough revision,
an honest one. A revision in accordance
with the protective system, which re-
quires that every industry in this coun-
try which needs it shall have a tariff
measured by the difference in the cost
OF production here and the cost of pro-
duction in the countries abroad.
Speaking of the Gorman-Wilson bill
and the panic Of 1892, Mr.. Taft said,
such a depression in our industries,
such a disaster to NJ business, such an
interference with the prosperity of the
rancher and farmer has neve been
seen in this country in its whole history.
Wheat ven down below so cents, wool
sold at 6 and 8 cents, the best sheep sold
at 81. so and lambs were worth only so
and IS cents each. These conditions
were ruinous to many a man in your
state. particularly west of the Missouri
river among the flockmasters.
What is the record of the republican
party for the past twelve years that it
has been in power? 1t has passed the
meat inspection bill, the pure food bill,
the rate bill. the opposition of the cor
porations has been swept away and it
has proved itself the party that has done
things.
On the other hand, what has the leader
of the democratic party. to offer? For the
past twelve years his promises Of great
reforms have proved utterly %fallacious.
l appeal to you as man to man that
the republican record is one that should
be sustained. You have a right to ex-
pect a continuance of these policies
should you continue the republican party
in power and these policies will be con-
tinued if l am elected"
One of the features of the celebration
was the barbecue. Many thousands
were fed but there was enough for all.
This barbecue was provided by the resi-
dents of the slope, the people of Dick
inson, Mandan, Bismarck and adjoining
territory. Ten steers were roasted,
many lambs. hogs, chickens etc, and
out of the roasted meat, sandwiches
were made from 20, 900 buns and a
thousand loaves of bread. Hot coffee
was also served. j. S. Green of Mandan
was in charge of the barbecue and j. F.
Brodie of this city was one of his assist
ants. Pete Pelissier was to have helped
but did not 60 down. The barbecue
was very popular with the crowd and
was held at Island Park only a short
distance away from the a%mpitheatre.
