Text CT Gary Speech.
The formal t-Xt Of the Presidents
speech at Gary. Ind, follows:
I doubt whether any President has
ever received such a greeting as you
are giving to me this morning. l ap-
pr-cIate it. It IS hoartening, 1t IS en-
couraging in this fight. 1t is an Indl-
eaton Of the action which you VIII take
or the eighth day OF November,
We have passed through three long
wears Of national crisis. These d-thcuI-
ties Of our Nation were brought on us
from abroad The administration IN
Washington has taken unprecedanted
measures calling into action the full
powers Of the Federal Government IN
the protection of our people from TINS
invasion. We have succeeded in the
defense of cur people from the invasion
Of fear and interference from ABROAD
and we have preserved the institutions
oi the United States, We first fought
great battle Of defense. We have
turned out great lnstrumontaItIeS ana
measures into an offensive all along the
economic front and are restoring en-
pl0yment and agriculture to the Unlteo
States. We are atle at this moment to
sav to vOu that men are returning TO
thcir i5bs al the rate of 100000 per
month. that since tbs adjournment OF
the Democratic House Of Representa-
t.ves and the cessation Of their inter-
fcr2nces with our program OF recovery
We have returned over one million men
10 their jobs.
Points to Difference.
There is one fundamental difference
between our program and that OF our
CnDcnentS that is absolutely funda-
mental TO al of you That is the con-
tinued protection OF cur industries from
foreign goods If it were not tO~ the
protective tariff today there would be
millions more unemployed in our coun-
try. If we were TO let down the tariff
barriers which surround you and which
protect you we should have a new and
worse depression.
1t is the most potent OF all the
emergency measures in protection of
cur people ard yet cur opponents pro-
pose 10 reduca that protection. They
propose to reduce it at q time when,
in The eCOpopl,c debacle among other
nations of the world, Currencies have
deprecated and brought lowered stand
ards Of living and lover wages to them,
yCur competitors They are able to
penetrate our tariff wall in many places.
The Tariff Commission is at present
engaged in Investigating these ques-
tiOns Through it we may be able to
repair these breaks which today are de-
prlyng the American workman of his
employment and decreasing the prices
TO the American farmer. Our Oppo-
nenLs have proposed in this campaign
that they Will abolish the authority
which was established in the Tariff
Commission to act in these emergencies.
And not only do they propose to reduce
the tariff. but they propose to destroy
the means of readjustment when it be-
comes necessary to preserve your jobs.
Declared Up to People.
IF the protective tariff is to be
maintained. and if the policies of the
Republican party Of restricting lmml-
grafton so that our own people may be
employed are to be maintained. it rests
with YOU, the working men and the
working women of the United States.
1t can be done solely and only by the
return of the Republican party to
power on the 9th day Of November.
Ii YOU desire a change. by which
the tariff on which your jobs are built
shall be reduced; if you desire
change by which immigration shall be
allowed to rc-enter the United States
to compete for jobs at the gates of
your factories, you have only to vote for
our opponents.
Fighting for Protection.
1--WE are fighting against these
changes We are fighting for the pro-
lection of the American people in their
homes and firesides. We have no other
interest than to maintain the stability
of our own country and restore its en-
ployment from the shocks which 1t
has received from outside our borders.
We have bUilded up protection to you
in a score of directions, and those pro-
tections and those measures are at this
moment working steadily for the res
toTation of our country.
Now. l want again to express my
appreciation for the support which YOU
have shown by your gigantic welcome
this morning l have never seen SO
great a crowd gathered at such time,
and it is a demonstration that the Re-
publican party will be returned on the
eighth day of November to complete
its task
Making dramatic appeal for the
