I.t ho corned waic ; ho hud a right to oxpom' thotn where ho pleased , If ho could mnko a bettor contract with n Frenchman , a Mexican , a Canadian or an Englishman thnnwith _ an American , ho had a right to do _ it , and the government hnd no riyit | to interpose , except in so far an it needs its revenue concerned. Uo rested his < vholo case on tlih proposition : th it , sub ject to the needs of the government every mnn hnd n right to neil where ho could got the best price for production , or buy where ho could iho cheapest. This WAR nn approved doctrine of political econ omy , otidtho plainest teachings of justice It individualized man. It begat iittthom a spirit of independence , turni'U their oyca from government to themselves , and freed the boundary line between govern- muntal power and personal rights. It vuis a question only of time when under thoj present policy the American would entirely tlinppuar from the high seas. The oceans v\oro free to all. Every lip- plo of the waters o.i the ana ehoro was au invitation to enjoy the wealth of foreign nations , nml every stormy wave that beat on the crngs spoke in thundering denunciation of this policy thai would lock America out of the mar kets of the world. [ Loud npplauao. ] Hod speed the day when Una divinu thought "man's brotherhood to mini" would succeed in degrading and humilia ting oiio of luttioml isolation and foreign ttocluiion. What as the ottVct of the fuinouo system on the farmers ? It in creased the price of all articles which en tered into hit daily consumption , and this increasu annually reached the sum of 4,000,000OCO. The protective tariff had nlrendy robbed America of one-half the inurkoU of tlio old world. India mm furnished England with wheat. The effeotcf the mnikuton Uuited States with in uino months had been a decline in the exportation of American cereals vf more than 4,000.000 ; and what had gene dawn in Chicago to lees than 80 conta. This dLVi'lepment of the wheat produc tion in India was entirely the result of the protective policy in America. "I iay to farmers of America , the prospect bflforo you la not encouraging now. With elevators , granaries and warehouses all full , the old crop unsold , with n vaat Hold greening to the coining harvest , with a crop unexcelled in Indln , with splendid promises among all wheat growing nations , and the price of wheat at ICDB than eluhty cents , this re sult will bo inevitable that the price of wheat before January next will not p y the price of production , and corn raised on the wottorn prairies again will bo burnt for fuel. In that day the farmers will bo beggara in the midst of their own plenty , paupers by the side of their own gathered sheaves. There in absolutely no relief except in making foreign markets - kots for agriculture. IIo went on to urguo that the effect of the system was not beneficial to the manufacturing intercats , but on the contrary lotrimental in preventing them securing Voo raw material. "Oh if I could burn nto the brains of the manufacturers of \niorica ono toutonco , " ho burnt forth , ' 'it would be : 'Turn from this constiut iitroapeotton to tlio nations of UiO'world ' ; ' down with the wnlla out to the sen. t'horo are two billion people who want to utv what you make , lliao up to the truth of the great thought that thojo looptu can bo supptiodjby you with all thu nstriunonta of husbandry and the tools f nrtiaunthip , but will not take your oodts unless you take thoira. Let your arilf disappear and then , O , manufacturers , your attention ivill bu diverted from homo mirkots to ho goncroua rivalries of the foreign rado in which a wealth will oomo to you if which you do not dream to-day. " Applause , ] Ho then discussed the ttir- ff question aa ullocting the rates of wages or labor , declaring so far an labor was concerned , the fruits of protection were wont penury and starvation. Protection lover would permit labor to Imvo n full eluro to that which was entitled the profits of cipifal. If employ era had not the wu- doni to laarn the truth , ho hoped this ag- tation would enlighten the workers , and that thov by their votes would rcgulato the business to the natural law of trado. Mr. liurd went on to ssk if thcro was anything in the Moi- riann bill inconsiitunt with thu Ohio platform.
