then leave it in your hands to be de-
, termined whether or not you wish me
to hold this Office of trust And / do
not come here tonight, my friends, to
apologize for single act or a single
vote | gave during the last two
months of the 62d session of Congress.
III desire to tel you how and why
voted so, and | give you the assurance
III you return me to the Senate, l will
vote the same way again.
The Tariff.
81 intend to speak to you on the
question of great and vital Importance
to US in this campaign-the tariff
question. There have been tariff
in order to carry on this government
of ours, we have the great sum of
5000, 100000 appropriated to maintain
the government for one year. Now, my
friends, the question has arisen as to
the way of levying that tax, how shall
it be levied and upon that great issue
the two parties have separated.
81 am in favor of the revision of
the tariff on all schedules as they now
exist. | am in favor of schedule
that viii be less burdensome on the
people / am not welded to any parti-
eular schedule The schedule that we
might adopt now, five years from now
would not fit the needs of the people,
in all probability. We live in great
country, that is changing, growing, de-
veloping, with its diversified indus
tricts, manufactures, etc, therefore |
am not welded to any schedule, but /
do favor tariff levied ON imported
goods, based on the actual conditions
of labor in tins country and in for
eign countries, and | will vote for it,
and will vote for every proposition of
the kind, bearing the labor of the
American people in mind.
81 can 90 TO Liverpool and buy a
suit of wooden clothes. | bring that
suit home. 1t is mine, ! have paid for
it, | have bought it cheaper than l
could have done in this country, but
the profit is with the Liverpool mer-
chant, il is his, il belongs to him. The
money | have paid him represents the
profit of the tailor that sits on his
table and sews-an English tailor
and it represents the wages of the
weaver who sat at his loom and wove
the wool into cloth. 1t represents the
wages of the wool grower. 1t repre-
sents the wages paid to the sheep
herder, in Australia or South America,
not in America. The result is whatf
The profit has all gone to the English
producer or the Australian and the
South American, none has been left
with the American producer. My
friends, for twenty-five years England

cruisers fitted with refrigerators for
carrying mutton to feed the producers
Of the suits of clothes we have bought
from them. The money has all gone
out of this country. | could buy the
same suit here. | would pay higher
price for it, to be sure, ON account OF
the tailor, the weaver, the wool grower
and sheop-herder receiving highe"
wages than they pay in England. The
money that ! paid for that suit ths
represents the merchant $ profit, repft
sents an American tailor's wage am
american sheep-herder wage, and
that profit, when kept at home, is
part Of the prosperity of this coun-
hy-of the prosperity of Nevada.
. New, my friends, if you send me
"a the Senate and expect me 10 vote
or any measure to lower the wage OF
,ne sheep-herder or sheep grower, you
had better vote for somebody else, be-
ause ! viii not do it.

measure that will turn the American
