Hicui'i'd iiupnrtiuit ailvantitu'cs. The most
coiivinciim evideiice nf the tremendous
stiviiu'th of our opposition is as follows:
iliiit iireat liritiiin and Spain have found
it necessary to make reciprocal trade
aurccineiits with us fur tlieir West India
colonies, and that (lerinany mid Austria
have uiven us important concessions in ex
change for the continued free importation
of tlieir beet suvur. A few details onlv as
to the increase of our trade can be niveii
here. Taking ail the countries with which
such arriinuemeiits have been made, our
trade to Jinn- :tu, I'lM had iiicreas,;tl it.ts
per cent ; with Hia.il the increase was
nearly 11 per cent.; with Cuba iliirin tin
first 1eit mouths our exports increased
t ,T'je,l'.ia, or .VI si; per cent., and with I'ortu
llico ."i!io,'.l.Yi, or ;u per (cut. The liberal
pnrtit ipm ion of our farmers in the bene
fits of this pn'icy is shown bv the follow

to
The Kxisiliiii Tarlfri.aiv,
We arc fortunately able to hulae of its In
fluence upon production mid prices by mar
ket reports, l he day of the prophet of
calamity lias been succeeded by that of the
trade reporter. An examination into tlie
effects of the law on prices of protected
products and of the cost of such articles S
enter into the wantsof the people of small
mentis has been made by a senate committee
composed of leading senators of bol h par
ties with the aid of the best statisticans,
Rinl the report signed by nil the members
of the committee, has been L-iven to the
public. No such wide and eaivful inquiry
nits ever Dciore nt en made. i Iicse
facts
appear from the report
f irst The cost of articles entering In
to the use of those earninn less than
(l,u) per milium has decreased tip to
May, 8.4 per cent., while in arm
products there has been an increase
In prices, owiiiK in part to au in
creased foreimi ('.eniaml mid the opening
of new markets. In I'.nuland during the
s'ime period the cost of living increased l.y
percent. Tested by their power to pur
chase articles of necessity, the eariiiuus of
our working people have never been, aa
yreat as they are now.
Second '1 here has Iss'ii mi average ad
vance in the late nf wages of .75 of 1 per
cent.
Third Then has been nn advance In
the price of all farm products of PS.tlT per
cent., mi"l of all cereals, naiV.) per cent. The
ninth annual report of the chief of the
bureau ot labor statistics of the state of
New York, a Democrat ic officer, very re
cently issued, strongly corroborates, ns to
that state, the facts found by thesenatti
committee. His extended inquiry shows
that In the year following the passage of
the tarill act of IV.m the aggregate sum
paid in wages in that state was itl,377,!W5
in excess, and the aggregate production
ai.;il."),l;10 in excess of the preceding year.
In view of this showing of an increase of
wages, of a fthictloii in the cost of arti
cles of common necessity, and of a marked
advance in the prices of agricultural pro
ducts, it is plain that this tariff law has
not imposed burdens, but has eoiiferrvd
bene tits upon the farmer and the working
liiiin. Some Siecbil t: licet
of the act should lie noticed. It was a
courageous attempt to rid our people of a
long maintained foreign monopoly in the
production of tin plate, pearl buttons, silk
jilushj linens, lace, etc. Once or twice in
our history the proiluct ion of tin plate had
lit eu lUiempted and the prices obtained by
the Welsh makers would have enabled our
niakers to produce it at a prolit. But the
AN'elsh makers at once cut prices to a point
that drove the American beginners out of
business and. when this was" accomplished
again made lluir own prices. A corres
piindciit, nf The liiilusl rial World, the
nilii aid oruati nf Welsh tin plalu workers,
published at Swansea, in the issue of June
ltl. is;r, advises a new trial nf these meth

Shrewdly but not quite fairly our ad
versaries speak on lluaiiceti. duties put on
buttons and other article by the -Mclxiu-ley
bill, and omit altogether any reference
to the great and bciiclicial nlai''niiient of
tlie five list. During tlia last liseal year
t las.uni).77'l worth of merchandise, or UV35
per cent, of our total imports, came in free
(the largest percent. tue in our history)
while in 1W the perceiit iL'e of importa
tion was 34.4'..' per cent. The placing; of
sugar upon the free list has saved to the
consumer in duties ill lifteen mouths, after
paying the bounties provided for, Js7,oixi,-
IHNI.
This relief has been substantially felt in
very household upon every Saturday pur
chase of the workingman. One of the fa
vorite arguments against a protective tar-
i-s that it shuts us out from a tuirticipa-
t!iiiiit wnat is called, witn swelling em
phasis, "The Murkets of tlie World."
If this view in not a false one. how does
It happen that our commercial competi
tors are not able tobear with more. serenity
our supposed surrender to them of "the
liaiKet, ot the world, and how dues it
happen that the partial loss of our market
closes foreign tin plale mills and silk
plush factories that still have all other
markets? Our advantages, our protective
tariff and the reciprocity policy make it
lossible for us to have u large participation
in the markets ot the world' without
opening our own competition that would
destroy the comfort and independence of
our people.
Itimctalllsin.
The resolution of the convention In fa
vor of bi-iiiet!illistn declares, I think, the
true and necessary conditions of a move
ment that has upon these lines lav cordial
adherence and support. I am thoroughly
convinced that the free coinage of silver at
such a ratio to pud as will maintain the
equality of the commercial uses of the two
coined 11011:118 would conduce to the pros
perity of all tae great producing and com
mercial natio is of the world. The one es
sential condition is that these dollors shall
have and retain nn equal acceptability anil
valuo in all cnmntiirclHl transactions.
They an? not only a medium of exchange
but a measure of values, and when two
unequal measures are called iu law by the
same name commerce is unset thsl and con
fused and the unwary and ignorant are
cheated. Dollars of unequal commercial
value will net circulate together. The Ix-t-ter
dollar is withdrawn and becomes mer
chandise. 1 he true interest of all our peo
ple anil especially of the fanners
and working (H'ople who cannot closely
observe the money market, is that
every dollar, paper or coin, issued or au
thorized by the government shall at all
times and in all Us uses be the exact
equivalent., not only iu debt paying, but in
purchasing power, of any ntherdullar. I am
quite sure that if we should now act upnn
this subject, independently nf other na
tions, we would greatly promote their in
terests and injure our own. Monetary
conditions in Kurope ivithin the last two
years have, I think, tended very much to
develop a sentiment iu favor of a larger
use of silver ami 1 whs much pleased and
encouraged by the cordiality, promptness
ami unanimity with which the invitations
of this gove nuiciit for an internal ion.tl

tlie laud was worthily be.stoweil and
tin ets my hearty apjiroval, a docs also the
declaration a to the liberty nf thought.
The safety of the republic lies in intelli
gent citizenship and the increased interest
manifested iu the states in education, the
cheerfulness with which tlie necessary
taxes are paid by all classes, and the re
newed interest manifested by the children
in the national flag are hopeful indica
tions that the coming generation will di
rect public affairs with increased prudence
and patriotism. Our interest in free pub
lic schools open to all children of suitable
age is supreme and our care for them will
be jealous and constant.
'1 he public school system however, wits
not intended to restrain the right of
parent to choose other educational
agencies for his children. 1 favored aid
by the general government to the public
schools with a special view to the neces
sities of some of the southern states. Hut
it is gratifying to notice that many of
these states are with commendable liberal
ity developing tlieir school systems and
increasing tneir school revenues, to the
great advantage ot the children of both
races.
The Attention of the I'ai niers
of the whole country is invited to the
work done thrcugh the state and agricul
ture departments in the interests of agri
culture. Our pork products had for ten
years Irt-en nearly excluded by the great
continental naiimis of Kuropc, and tlieir
7alue discredited by the reasons given for
this exclusion. All previous efforts to se
cure tin. removal of these restrictions had
failed. Hut the wise legislation of the
Fifty-first congress providing for the in
spection and official certification of our
meat, and (,'fving to the president power to
forbid the introduction into this country
of selected products of such countries as
stiouiti continue to retuse our inspected
meats, enabled us to open all the markets
of Kurnpe to our pork products. Tlie re
sult has been not only to sustain prices by
providing new markets for our surplus
but to add .Mi cents per loo pounds to the
market value of inspected meats.
Under reciprocity agreements, special
avors have been secured for agricultural
products and our exports nf such products
have been greatly increased with a
, pros-
pect of further and rapid increase.
The agricultural department has main
tained iu Kurope an agent w hose special
duty it is to introduce there the various
nreparations ol corn as articlesol.tood, and
ids work has been very successful. The
department has also sent skilled veterinar
ians to Liverpool to examine, iu connec
tion with the Hrilish surgeons the live
cattle from the United States lauded at
that port and the results in connection
with sanitary methods adopted at home
have been that we hear of no more cattle
being affected with tileuro-pneuinonhi. A
judicious system of quarantine lines has
prevented the infection of northern cattle
with the Texas fever.
Tlie tariff bill of ls'.ni ,-U-es better prn
tection to farm products subject t" for
eign competition than they had before,
and the home markets for such products
have been enlarged by the establishment
of new industries ami development.
We niav ci
iniilidei.tlv submit to th'e Intel -
lieenf and candid judgment of theAmeri-i.-ui
farmer whether iu any corresponding
period so much bus been done to promote
his interests, ami w hether in a continu
ance and extension of t U'-e met hods there
is not a better prospect offered to him
than in the invitation of the Democratic
party to give our home market lo foreign
manufacturers and to abandon t he reci
procity policy, and belter also than the
radical ninl uniiicd methods of relief im
posed by nt her part h s w hii.li are soliciting
ins support .

Ill i lltlClllslllll.
It is not possible for me to refer evcu iu
the bricfesi way to many of tlie topics pre
sented iu'tlie resolution-, adopted by the
convention. L'pon all that have not been
discussed, I have before publicly expressed
my views. A change in the personnel of a
national administ ration is ot cuinparativu
ly little moment. II those exercising pub
lic functions are able, honest, diligent ami
fathlul, others possessing all those, quali
ties may fie lound to take their places.
Hut changes in the laws and in adminis
trative policies are of great moment.
When public affairs have been given a di
rection and business lias ad
justed itself to those lilies, any sud
den change involves a stoppage and new
business adjustments. If the change of
direction is so radical as to. bring the com
mercial turntable into use, the business
changes involved nre U"t readjustments,
but rccoiisuuctioiis. The Deniocratio
party ollcis a programme of demolition.
The protective policy, to which all busi
ness, even that of tlie importer, is uow
adjusted, the reciprocity policy, the new
merchant marine, are all to be demolished,
not gradually, not taken down, but blown
up. To this program of destruction it has
lidded one constructive feature, the re
establishment of stale banks of issue.
Tlie policy of the Republican party Is,
on the other hand, distinctively a policy
of safe progression mid development- of
new factories, new marines and new ship
It will subject business to no perilous
changes, but oilers attractive opportunities
lor expansion upon familiar Hues.
Very respectfully,

Suits liegiin to Oiciiliiow the Aortluu
un ut l.i. .v in liKlbnia.
iNDl.x.NAi'ol.i.s, 1ml. , Sept. 7. Suit was
filed in Henry county for the puriioso of
i overthrowing the gerrymanders of ISSJl
and INK) am! reviving the law of 1S7D,
which gives Kepiiblicatis more of a
fighting chance to win the legislature.
The complaint asks for an injunction to
restrain the sherill and auditor of the
county from issuing election notices
under the present law and a mandamus
compelling them to proceed in accord
ance with tho act of 15711. It sets out in
detail the inequalities of tho laws of
1891 and ISSa. The present law gives
the Democrats a sure thing of majority
on joint ballot. As nearly as can be es
timated they would still have ten ma
jority if the old law is revived. All tlie
defendants and the judge are Republic
ans und no lmis'diineiit will bo thrown
ll')' them in the way of gettin-' tho suit
to the supremo court as quickly ns pos
sible. Tho suit is brought in tho inline
of S. T. Powell. C. V. Fairbanks, a
millionaire aspirant fur thu senate, is
backing it. Some of the most promi
nent attorneys have been retained.
