SENATOR MANDERSON TO THE PEOPLE lloir ( Irrat Industry Urowliifr Up Under the Inllucnco of I'roUctlitn U Uhcckod ami Ulll ll DcMrnyiil by 1'roo Irmlo .Methods. OMAHA , Oct. 17. Hon David S. Ferris. Secretary National Ilcpubllcan State Central Committee. 355 Canal Street. New Orleans , La. : My Dear Sir I have delayed reply to 3 our favor of 20th ult. and Iho communica tion of October 30 from the national repub lican state control committee ot Indiana In viting me to deliver an address In New Or leans on protection to American Industries. In the hope that my engagements nnd participa tion In political matters In my homo elite would o shape themselves that I might ac cept the complimentary Invitation and afford myself the pleasure of again visiting tha Crescent City. I recall with great pleasure my visit lo your state during last winter , when an opportunity woa afforded me. by a trip up the Atchafulaya and along the beau tiful Dayou Tcche , to see the magnitude and Importance of the cano sugar Industry. A few years ago I visited the Island of Cuba and looked Into the methods of sugar pro duction that there obtain , and have felt deep Interest In and have close familiarity with the ns yet undeveloped , but still most valuable , beet sugar Industry ol Nebraska. My visit to the fertile lands along the gulf enabled mo to compare the Intelli gent methods Invogue there with the crude plants of the Cubans and sco the Immensity of the Investment of the cane sugar planters as compared with the beet sugar farmers of Nebraska and Califor nia. Almost from Hie beginning of the gov ernment this chief Industry of Louisiana has been sustained , and has received virility by extending to It the republican Ideas of pro tection , by the Imposing of such customs duty as would equalize the soil and ell inn to of the gulf slates with those ot tropical coun tries , and act as evener between your ex pensive labor and the cheaper wage afforded In foreign lands The Industry grew under this protection until the dread time when it was practically annihilated by the ruinous hand ot war during our civil strife. War was waged lit 'hot and destructive fashion throughout all the sugir lands Millions of property were destroyed , irtllls were burned machinery ruined , live stock killed and the beautiful garden became a dreary waste. BUILT UP BY THE IJOUNTY. In the many years following 18GL'there was no prospect of sugar production In any north ern state , and tha Industry was distinc tively a southern one Thrre were no north ern Interests to subserve bj placing a high protective duty on sugar , but one of the llrst acts of the republican pirty when It cam-1 Into power , of a piece with much of KB legis lation to restore the south uas the placing of a specific , duly upon sugar so high that the customs not only afforded revenue , but gave Incidental protection sulllclenl to enable the Industry In Louisiana to re-establish Itself This needed protection was maintained by the republicans , they holding the power that enabled them to defeat ndvcrso and destruc tive tariff legislation until 1801 and then , the revenues of Iho government being beyond Its actual need" , there- came free sugar to the country at large and a bounty to be paid to the sugar grower from Htlier canp or beets Wo profited by the experience of Germany and I'ranc" , both of which established sugur production by the payment of hrgo bounties and established the bounty PS stem of the McKlnley bill Bounties as a 55stem of protection , bounties paid to establish or sustain an industry for the general welfare , are nothing new In this country. They have obtained In both federal and state legislation and have been given for TiBm'p , silk steel. fish , railways , shlpa , military service and for other matters of value lo nation or state Those who- framed the constitution advocated tholr pajiucut and they found earnest sup porters in such secretaries of the treasury as Hamilton , McLane , Ingtmm and Dallas Many courts have tustnlned them , and no court has pronounced them unconstitutional Under the fostering care of protective bounty the farmers of the north have been able to produce about 25,000,000 pounds ot beet sugar In 1894 , as against none before 1890 Because of boun ties Louisiana has Increased her produce of cane sugar from about 2&7OOO.OfK ) pounds in 1S8S-89 to about 350,000 000 in 1802-03 Be cause of them Louisiana felt the hard times of 1S9Z-1S93 less than any other state In the -union and New Orleans had lesi of business depression and was more fortunate than any other American city. The pros perity of Louisiana and the mateilal growth of all the new south Is to be directly attrib uted to Hie wise and bonellcent legislation of the republican party. And yet , with the object lessons of new industries. Increased production , the opening of the mines , the building of new mills , the erection of new factories and the Influx of capital seeking now nnd profitable fields , all directly resultIng - Ing from a system that democrats are pledged lo destroy , the south clings to her nnclent Idol , the democratic party , and throw * herself under the crushing wheels of Its legislative Juggernaut. WAS AN EXPLICIT CONTUACT. The bounty offered by the McKlnley bill was and Is a fair contract between the KOvornme-nl and the sugar producers , run ning until 1905. Said tha law "There ahall be paid annually until January 1 , 1895. to all sugar produced from cane or beets grown in the United ar States 2 cents per pound. " Because of the law with this ex plicit contract millions wore Invested In machinery , buildings , Iho stock and land Improvements Contracts were made for the purchase of cine and beets running Into the future. Yet a democratic congress , -violating | ' tha pledged faith of the nation , destroying vested rights , repeals this law Such action In an Individual would be called dishonest. Is It not dishonest on the pan ot tha govern ment ? I need not tell the story of how shamelessly Itwas accomplished My es teemed associates , th& two senators from your great state can unfold the tale In all its de formity , and tell tholr constituents /how / they werebuncoed They were persistently misled and Insistently deceived The "green goods' * man In his efforts to load up "the queer" upon an unsuspecting countrjman never worked a game rm > re adroitly. Not content with repudiating the earned bounty for 1891 , the present administration now oven refuses to pay the bounty accruing far sugar produced before the bill became- luvv.

You can sjy 1o my follow citizens of Louisiana that republicanism means protec tion to every Industry , rorth and south. It means the restoration of the bounty law of l&QO It stands for fair dealing between tbo government ami all It ? cltlrens. Without discrimination as to sections , without par tiality as to Individuals. It stands for com mon honesty. It believes In Intelligence ruling In o\ery community , every state and In the nation as well. Ignorance nnd imbe cility It will rclcK.itD to the rear.

"My Tellow Citizens I have before me a pretty hard day's work , but this large as sembly and this cordial welcome , I hope will prove a stimulus to carry me through the day I greet with great pleasure these good citizens of one of the greatest of our Indiana counties , great In Its resources , but greater still , I tl Ink , In the loyalty Intelligence con servatism of the people and the order of Its communities There seems to be Indications this year that the people have made up their minds that the party administration of the uffnlra of this nation has settled down tea a question of business prosperity of the people ple I think our democratic friends adriilttei this In the last campaign They were per haps then Inclined to exaggerate the Influence enco of politics and of political successes upon the business of the country They assured jou , I think , that democratic sue cess would mean the bringing In of a greei wave of prosperity , that the depression which prevailed In some branches of agricul ture would at once bo relieved , that the low price of wheat would be followed by high prices , and In a word , tint the whole country - , try would bo as their great song went , In clover ( Liughtcr. ) They exaggerated the positive Influences of executive and leglsla tlv policies upon the general prosperity o the country but the policies have much to do with It The tariff question touches th business of the country closely : the Ilnancla question , the character of our coin and the character of our paper issues , all Influence the business ot the people. DEMOCRATS MAKE EXCUSES.

I think I have heard some of them say that panics ore periodical and that this Is a periodical pnnlc. You kribw how our doctors , ecpcclally In this country , that used to bo an ague country , but Is Much no longer , used to talk about periodicity. So our demo cratlc friends are trying to make you bo Hove this is a case of periodicity A politl cal party and political managers ought to del fairly with the people.

"Sluco our democratic friends promised si largely and since then assured you tlia democratic success would be the direct am' sufficient canal of bringing In prosperity , we are entitled to hold them this year to reepoti siblllty for that sad failure which thepeopli have witnessed " KOKOMO , Ind. . Oct 19. Short stops weri made at Cicero nnd Arcadia , which wen not on the schedule At Cicero after a speech by Mr. Harrison , a beautiful specimen of glassttork done at this place was presented to the distinguished guest At Tlpton another enthusiastic throng greeted General Harrison as ho stepped onto the platform dt the car and the enthusiasm followed him to the platform where he spoke. Ho said : HARD TIMES AND THE CAUSE "Wa have had hard times and the hardness touched every one. The capitalist who holds his money Invested In bonds and stocks has found their value enormously shrunk. Ills Interest has been defaulted , his checks have been passed , and lila wealth greatly curtailed , The manufacturer who depended upon the profit ot his mill has been without profit , lie ha& attempted to Bare himself from loss by shutting down the mill and putting out the lrcs. lie has been contented to lose the Interest on the Investment In his plant. The workman whoso entire capital for the support of his wife and his children and his own maintenance was In his dally wages has found It all swept away , and has been for tunate It ho had a llttlo store to which ho could go to tide him over. Many a staluart , honest , hard-working Ameilcan workman lias been compelled to appeal to his fellow men for help a thing ho had never done before This condition has come upon us following a period of the highest prosperity , and thn beginning of It was coincident in time with the success of the democratic party This has nothing to do with the question of who Is president. It Is not n question of who your congressman Is , much less Is It a ques tion of who your grocer Is It Is a question ot the principles and politics of the party that Is In control of the coveminent. The democratic party entered on their control of the government comp'ctcly in all Us branches for the first time since the war , with a plat form declaration that they v > ere going to revolutionize the tariff policy of this country It was not to bo a modification , It was not to be a change In the style of the house , but the house was to como down to come down to the ground The structure was to be laid out on new lines on the ground as well as In the air. It was the policy ot demolition that they proclaimed ; and so soon as the business men discovered that thcf party luil the power to do thin they assumed a waiting attitude , and said : 'Wo cannot af ford to maufacture goods , we cannot afford to run thcso mills until wo know what Is going to bo dune. ' WAITING TO SEC. "So thla country has stood from that day to this in n position of expectancy , anxious expectancy , waiting to see whethei the tariff legislation would proceed on such lines as would enable the people In conduct the busi ness. In which they had t > een engaged. They tell us tlia' times arc Improving. I hope they arc Thank God , tha republican party hai never jet made use of the adversities of this country for Its success ( Applause. ) ' When the ( lag floated highest and when the sheen on It was brightest those were the days of republican success The demo cratic party has been -without experience In governmental management and the question now la whether we shall allow them to go on with their tinkering Can the country afford to educate that party Into a capacity lor government ? That la the question The old doctor has been .o long out of practice lhat he has for Eotttn ; ho has to stall his knotvledga of Iha mtiterla medlca , and he has been ex perimenting to nnd out what effect particu lar medicines would produce. I do not think we can afford now to educate the dem Qcratlc party In government. Wo had bet ter call In the old parly that took this coun try from democratic hands when the threats ot war win over It , tok It with a bankrupt treasury , took It when Its arsenals had been robbed to arm Its enemies , took Jt when dark night was over U and men's hopes -were clouded by fear and set the foundation of th government upon the tock and Its flag nearer to the skies from which It was fash ioned than evrbelbrr " The special Cmlrr arrived at Kokomo at t 25 and , -win nirt T > r another great crowd.

When ho entered the hall an extraordinary scene ensued. The great building shook with applause. Hon. Clmrlei D Everett chairman of the county committee- , Introducing General Han-lion , who said In. substance POINTS OP AGRECMCNT. My Fellow Citizens When we have n debate I always like to find in the llrst place , the points of agreement , so we may go on to discuss those things about which wo differ I find there la a very general agreement now among republicans and democrats upon two propositions One Is that we have had a very wide and disastrous panic , In which all cur people ha\c shared j the second Is that ono party or the other democrats or repub licans are In a considerable measure respon sible to the people for these evil times. Now , that makes the discussion easier a little Wo have had and wo are still In the shadow of very evil times. The farmer has felt t lem ; the merchant has felt them ; above all , the man who was dependent upon his dally wafjus for his living has felt them , bocau&c when ho lost his job he lost everything , whereas , the merchant , when his goods wore marked down , had still something left. There were one or two features of the panic that I want to tall : to jou about In the first place , I want to Bay that In my opinion It was not ono of those panics which some times como from overtrading and overspecu- latlon It was not a relapse from some balloon enterprls.es that we had entered Into. We have had such panics as that In this country and they were always characterized by a great deal of litigation In our courts In the panic of IS73-4 the courts of all our counties wcro crowded with collection suits Men wcro being &ued on notes and mortgages wcro being foreclosed That state of things has not characterized this panic through which we haveJint gone H was not over trading and ovcrspecttlatlon ; It was not wildcatting - catting in business tliat brought this panic upon us If It had been wo would have seen the necessary Incidents anil concommltants of that sort of tlflrife In the collection of notes and foreclosures of mortgages all over " the country * PLENTY Or CIRCULATING MEDIUM When this panic began we had more | money In circulation per capita than we have had for many jcars.- This had come about In this way. lithe first place , under what Is known as the Sherman la\v , the silver purchasing law , .under which we bought four and a half million ounces of silver every month , we Issued a lirge amount of what , were called treasury holes so the monej In | circulation . had been Increased by about one hundred and fllty million by this new cur rency , to be puUout among the-people. The money In clrcnlatlpn ( tad been Increased by the reduction of thesurplus ID the treasury You remember , my democratic friends , and I hope all are friends you remember when they made a campaign upon the theory that the country was being ruined because there was so much surplus. They sad"You ! have taken this money out of the pockets of the people and locked It up and It Is not doing anybody any good. " That surplus had been by the purchase ot government bonds reduced enormously , and the money was out among the people doing Its work , and then by the Increased pensions which I am glad to say a republican congress -voted and I ap proved with pleasure and have never apol ogized for an enormous addition to the amount of money wa& put In circula tion among the people until our democratic friends changed the form of the Indictment against us They indicted us for having too much In the treasury , nnd now they say we left too little My point Is that the money n circulation was so largely Increased that t could not have been a lack of money that : irought that pinlc on. It was not any lack of confidence on the part of the people In the money that was In circulation It was not because Uicy doubted the valueof the bills or the coin hey had in their pockets. It was ono of the curious features of that panic that men who ! iad money and went to the bank to get It illd not care much what kind ot money was paid them They did not stop to look at it , but just wrapped It up In a newspaper and took It homo and hid It under the bed , or ook It to a gafa deposit company , hired a box and stuck It In there The result was a great scarcity ot money , but presently the people got over their fear of the banks and the ) brought the money back Iut ! the banks could not make any use of It - Nobody wanted It There were no solvent borrowers who could use the money and from that time to this that has been the situation of tha country All of our banks have been filled with money belonging to people who did not , want to use It ' WHAT CAUSED THIS PEAR What was this expectation of evil , this dread of a catastrophe which came upon th people of thla country and which IB Mill more or less upon them' It was the un certainty that the democratic success of 1B92 Induced. The democrats Eahl they were going to destroy this protective system They were going tu tear down this house that had sheltered us From that time to this the people have Juat stood wondering , fearing , dreading what might be done on that ques tion There was great applause when the speaker concluded \VIUon .Mukmiui Kurly Stnrt.
