ment would render the country inde-
pendent in fact as well as in name and
give carly attention to the encourag-
ment and protection Of American manu-
facturers and workmen by invoking
upon all foreign articles which can be
made in America such duties as would
give just and decided preference to
their labors and thereby discontinue
that trade which tended to so materially
injure them.
"President Washington responded to
that petition and the first piece OF legls-
lation passed by the Congress and
signed by the first President was a pro-
tective tariff.
From that day to this the State Of
Maryland has had this independence
which its citizens demanded. 1t has
grown constantly in strength. And not
only are the industries of Maryland to-
Gay dependent on protective tariff, but
a large part Of her agriculture as well.
Your dairy products. truck products,
wheat. corn and live stock are so near
the seaboard that the countries of cheap
production could penetrate your mar
kets and do great injury to your farm
ing industry. You will find that today
practically every farm article produced
in the State of Maryland could be i'm
ported for less than the present price,
depressed as those prices may be.
Hits Competitive Plan.
The Democratic party is opposed to
q protective tariff. 1t proposes to re-
duce these tariffs In its platform in
lieu of a protective tariff it proposes
competitive tariff for revenue. 1t de-
nounces the present tariffs as exorbi-
tant.
Their candidates and supporting Or
ators demand reduction in the face OF
depreciating currencies in foreign coun-
tries during the last II months, which
have resulted in still further reduction
of their living standards. Indeed the
increase in imports into our country of
certain lines of manufacture by virtue
Of this depreciation is already beginning
to displace our Workmen in certain 10
CalitieS.
Il would submit to the thoughtful
citizens of Maryland that your first in
terest lies in sustaining the party whose
policies and whose candidates alone can
be relied upon to maintain protection
to your jobs, your farms. and your in
dustries from destruction through i'm
ports OF cheap goods and the products
OF cheap land"
