urther, and we must not permit false
CThts to lure us across the danger
lie.
We have much more silver In use
lian any country In the world except
niila or China 8500,000,000 more than
treat lirttun. 150,OOU,000 more than
ranee, $40,000,00u'more than Germany,
J25.XiO,(hiO less than India, and $120.
W.U00 less thun China. The Republican
arty has declared for an International
greemnt. and If elected president. It
'III be my duty to employ all proper
leans to promote It. The free coin
ire of sliver In this country would de
fat International bimetallism, and un
111 International nureement can be had,
very Interest requires us to maintain
ur present stand. If expedient free
olnnce of silver at a ratio of 18 ounces
f silver to one ounce of Bold could in
ure the speedy contraction of the vol
tme of our currency. It would drive
.t least rive hundred millions of gold
lollars, which we now have, perman
ntly from the trade of the country and
reatly decrease our per capita circula
lon. It is not proposed by the Kepub
lean party to tHke from the circulating
nedlum of the country any of the BtlVer
ve now have. On the contrary. It is
iropstd to keen all the silver money
low In circulation on a parity with
;oM bv imiintaltilnK the pledge of the
jovernment' that all of It shall be
qual to gold. This has been the un
iloken policy of the Hepubllcan party
ince 1S7S. It has inaugurated no new
tolley. It will keep In circulation and
ib good as gold all silver and paper
noney which are now included In the
urrency of the country. It will mniii
aln their parity. It will preserve their
quality In the future as it has always
lone in the past. It will not consent to
nit this country on u silver basis, which
vould Inevitably follow independent
ree coinage at a ratio o' IB to I. It
vill oppose the expulsion of gold from
ur circulation.
'WIlUEltS AND LAr.OHERS SUF
FER MOST.
If there is any one thing which
ihould be free from speculation and
lucumtion it is the money of a coiin
ry. It ought never to be the Bubject
if mere partisan contention. When
ve pi.it with our labor, our products,
ir our property, we should receive in
i-turn money which Is ns stable and
inchanping In value as the ingenuity
if honest men cm make it. Debase
ment of the currency means destruc
tion of values. No one suffers so much
'mm cheap money us the farmers and
aborers. They are first to feel its bad
directs nnd the last to recover from
.hem. This has been the uniform cx
)erlence of all countries and here, ns
ilsewhere, the poor and not the rich,
ire always the greatest sufferers from
ivery attempt to debase our money. It
vould fall with alarming severity upon
nvestmcnts already made, upon Insur
mce companies and their policy hold
rs, upon savings banks and their de
it sitois, upon building anil loan ussn
lintlons anil their members, upon the
luvlngs of thrift, upon pensioners and
heir families, and upon wage earners
ind the purchasing power of their
ages,
"NL1M1TED inREDICEMAULE PA
VE It money.
The silver question is not the only
ssue affecting our money in the pend
ng contest. Not content, with urging
:he free coinage of silver. Its strong
est champions demand that our paper
noney shall be issued directly by the
rovernment of the lTnited States. This
s the Chicago Democratic declaration.
The St. Louis people's declaration is
;hat "our national money shall be Is
lued by the general government only,
without the Intervention of banks of
ssue, be full legal tender for the pny
lielit of all debts, public and private,"
ind be distributed "direct to the people
ind through lawful disbursements of
;he government" and thus in addition
o the free coinage of the world's sil
ver we are asked to enter upon an era
f unlimited irredeemable paper cur
'eney. The question which was fought
)Ut from ISfij to 1ST!) Is thus to be re
jpened, with nil its uncertainties and
ihcap money experiments of every ron
:clvahle form foisted upon us. This
nillcntes a most startling reaction by
jolicy.strangely at variance with every
-equlromcnt of sound finance, but the
leclarutlon shows the spirit and pur
pose of those who by combined action
tie contending for the control of the
government. Not satisfied with the
lebasement of our coinage which
irould inevitably follow the eoimige of
Mlver at IB to 1 they would still fur
:her degrade our currency and threat
?n the public honor by the unlimited
issue of an IrriKlcemable pnper cur
rency. A graver menace to our finan
cial standing and credit could hardly
lie conceived and every patriotic clti
een should be aroused to promptly meet
and effectually defeat It.
IN THE HIGHEST DEO REE REP
REHENSIMIJE. It Is a course for painful regret and
solicitude that nn effort Is being made
by those high In the counsels of the
ttllled parties to divide the people of
this country Into classes and distinc
tions among us, which In fact do not
exist, and are repugnant to our form
of government. These appeals to pas
sion and prejudice are beneath the
spirit nnd Intelligence of a free people
and should be met with stern rebuke
by those they are sought to Inlluence
nnd I believe they will be. Every at
tempt to array class against class, "the
classes against the classes, section
ngalnst section, labor against capital,
the poor against the rich," or Interest
against interest In the United States,
Is In the highest degree reprehensible.
It Is opposed to the national Instinct
and interest and should be resisted by
every citizen. We are not a nation of
classes, but of sturdy, free, Independ
ent, and honorable people, despising
the demagogue and never capitulating
to dishonor. This ever recurring ef
fort endangers popular government
and Is a menace to our liberties. It is
not a new campaign device or party
appeal. It is as old as government
among men, but was never more un
timely and unfortunate than now.
Washington warned us against it and
Webster said in the senate, In words
which I feel are singularly appropriate
at this time: "I admonish the people
against the object of outcries like
these. I admonish every industrious
laborer of this country to be on his
guard against such delusion. I tell
him the attempt Is to play oft his pas
sion against his Interest and to prevail
on him. In the name of libertv, to de
stroy all the fruits of liberty."
PROTECTION OP SUPREME IM
PORTANCE. Another Issue of supreme Importance
is that of protection. The peril of free
silver Is a menace tobe feared, we
are nlreRdy experiencing the effect of
partial free trade. The one must be
averted, the other corrected. The Re
publican party is wedded to the doc
trine of protection and was never mori
earnest in Its support and advocacy
than now. If argument were needed
to strengthen this aystem on the part
of the people, it Is found in the les
son and experlenc of the past three
years. Men realize In their daily
lives what before was to many of them
only report, history or tradition. They
have had a trial of both systems and
1?rW yh;,t ea,!h ha done fr them.
Washington in his farewell address,
17, 1796, a hundred years ago,
said: As a very Important source of
strength and security, cherish public
credit. One method of preserving it la
to use It as sparingly as posslble.avoid
tng the accumulation of debt, not only
of shunning occasion of expense, but
by vigoitout exertions In. time of peace
to discharge the debts which unavoid
able wars may have occasioned.not un
generously throwing upon posterity
the burden which we ourselves ought
to bear." .
To facilitate the enforcement of max
ims Which he announced he declared:
"It" Is essential that you should prac
tically bear in mind that towards the
payment of debts there must be rev
enue, that to have revenue there must
be tuxes, that no taxes can be devised
which nre not more or less Inconven
ient or unpleasant, that the intrinsic
embnrrassment Inseparable from the
selection of the proper objects (which
is always a cholco of difficulties) ought
to be a decisive motive for a candid
construction of the conduct of the gov
ernment In making It, and for a spirit
of ncquiesence ill the' measures for
obtaining revenue which the public ex
igencies may at any time dictate."
Animated by like sentiments the people
of the country must now face the con
ditions which beset them. The "pub
lic exigencies" demnnd prompt protec
tive legislation which will avoid the
accumulation of further debt by pro
viding adequate revenues for the ex
penses of the government. This is
manifestly the requirement of duty. If
elected president of the United States
it will be my aim to vigorously pro
mote this object and give that ample
encouragement to the occupations of
the American people which Is so Im
peratively demanded nt this Juncture
of our national affairs.
OUll CONDITION IN DECEMBER,
1S92.
In December, 1SS2, President Harri
son sent his Inst message to congress.
It wns an able and exhaustive review
of the condition and resources of the
country. It stated our situation so ac
curately that I am sure it will not be
amiss to recite his otllelal anil valuable
testimony. "There never has been a
time in tho history," said he, "when
work was so ubundanl, or when wages
were so high, whether measured by the
currency in which they nre paid or by
their power to supply the necessaries
and comforts of life. The general av
erage of prices hus been such as to
give agriculture n fair participation In
the general prosperity. The new In
dustrial plants established since Octo
ber G, 1SH0, nnd up to October 22, 1SH2,
number ."M5 nnd the extensions of exist
ing plants 10S. The new capital Invest
ed amounts to $40,44i!.00, and the num
ber of additional employes itT.SS'i. Dur
ing the first six months of the present
calendar year 135 new factories were
built, of which forty were cotton mills.
4S knitting mills. 26 woolen mills, 15
silk mills, nnd two linen mills,
(if the 40 cotton mills, 21 have been
built in southern states."
This fairly describes the happy con
dition of the country In December, 1S!2.
What has It been since, and what is
it now? ,
The messages of President Cleveland
from the beginning of his second ad
ministration to the present time
abound with descriptions of the de
plorable Industrial and financial sit
uation of the country. W hile no re
sort to history or olllclnl statement Is
required to advise us of tho present
condition and that which has prevailed
(luring the past three years, I venture
to quote from President Cleveland's
first message, Aug. S, 1MI3, addressed
to the llfty-thlrd congress, which he
hud called together In extraordinary
sefsion.
"The existence of nn alarming nnd
extraordinary business situation," said
he. "Involving the welfare nnd pros
perity of all of the people has con
strained me to call together In extra
session tho people's representatives in j
congress to the end that through the j
wise and patriotic exercise oi uie leg
islative duties with which they solely
ure charged, the present evils may be
mitigated und dangers threatening the
future may be averted. Our unfortu
nate financial plight is not the result
of untoward events nor of conditions
related to our natural resource, nor Is
It traceable to any of tho allllctions
which frequently ' check national
growth nnd prosperity. With plenteous
crops, with abundant promise of re
munerative production nnd manufac
ture, with unusual Invitation to safe
Investment and with satisfaetory as
surances to business enterprise, sud
denly financial distrust and fear have
sprung up on every side. Numerous
monled institutions have suspended,
because abundant asets were not Im
mediately available to meet the de
mand of frightened depositors. Sur
viving corporations nnd individuals
nre content to keep in hand the money
they nre usually anxious to loan, nnd
those engaged In legitimate business
are surprised to find that the securities
they offer fur loans, though heretofore-
satisfactory, are no longer ac
cepted. Values supiKised to be fixed
are fast becoming conjectural and loss
and failure have invaded every branch
of business."
THE CAUSE OP THIS CHANCE.
What sudden change within the
short period of eight months, from De
cember, 1S!I2. to August. 1KB3!
What had occurred? A change of
administration, nil branches of the
government had been entrusted to the
Democratic party, which was commit
ted against the protective policy that
had prevailed uninterruptedly for
more than thirty-two years and
brought unexampled prosperity to tho
country, nnd firmly pledged to lis com
plete overthrow and the substitution
of a tariff for revenue only. The change
having been decreed by the elections In
November, its effects were nt once an
ticipated and felt.
We cannot close our eyes to these
altered conditions, nor would It be
wise to exclude from contemplation
and Investigation the causes which
produced them. They are facts which
we cannot as a people disregard, and
we enn only hope to Improve our pres
ent condition by a study of their
causes. In December, 1X'J2, we had the
same currency and practically tho
same volume of currency that we have
now. It aggregated In 1S!I2, J2.372.599.501,
in 1S93, $2,323,0A,(Mi;), in 1MI4, $2,323,442,
3B2, and in December. 1S95, $2,194,000,230.
The per cnplta of money, too, has been
practically tho same during this whole
period. The quality of the money hns
been Identical all kent equal to gold.
There Is nothing connected with our
money, therefore to account for this j
sudden aggravated industrial change.
Whatever Is to be deprecated in our
financial system it must everywhere
be admitted that our money has been
absolutely good nnd has brought neith
er loss nor inconvenience to its hold
ers. A depreciated currency has not
existed to further vex the business sit
uation. GOOD MONEY NEVER MADE
TIMES HARD.
It is a mere pretence to attribute the
hard times to the fact that all our cur
rency Is on a gold basis. Oood money
never made times hard. Those who
assert thst our present Industrial and
financial depression is the result of the
gold standard, have not read American
history aright, or been careful stu
dents of the events of recent yeais.
We never had greater prosperity in
this country, in every field of employ
ment and industry than In the busv
years from 1NN0 to 1892, during nil tit
which time this country was on a gold
basis and employed more gold money
in Its fiscal and business operations
than ever before. We had, too, a pro
tective tariff under which ample rev
enues were collected for the govrnment
and an accumulating surplus which
was constantly applied to the payment
of the public debt. Let us hold fast to
that which we know is good. It is not
more money we want, what we want
is to put the money we already have
at work. When money is employed,
men ar employed. Both have always
been steadily and remuneratively en
gaged during all the years of protec
tive tariff legislation. When those who
have money lack confluence in the sta
bility of values and Investments, they
will not part with their money, llusl
neas Is stagnated.the life blood of trade
is checked and congested. We cannot
restore the public confidence by an act
which would revolutionise all values,
or an act which entails a deficiency In
the public revenue. We cannot inspire
confidence because advocating repudi
ation or practicing .dishonesty. We
cannot restore confidence, either to tho
treasury or to the people without a
change in our present tariif legislation.
THE TARIFF OP 1S94.
The only measure of a general nature
thut affected the treasury and the em
ployments of our people passed by the
Fifty-third congress was the general
tariff act, which did.not receive the ap
proval of the president. Whatever
virtues may be claimed for that act
there is confessedly one which it docs
not possess. It lacks the essential vir
tue of its creation the raising of rev
enue sufficient to supply the needs of
the government. It has at no time
provided enough for such needs, but it
has caused a constant deficiency In the
treasury and a steady depletion In the
earnings of labor nnd land. It has
contributed to swell our national debt
more than $:!62.00O,U00, a sum neurly as
great hsj the debt of the government
from Washington to Lincoln. Including
till our foreign wars from the revolu
tion to the rebellion. Since Its pas
sage, work at home has been diminish
ed, prices of agricultural products have
fallen, confidence has been arrested
and general business demoralization Is
seen on every hand.
THE TARIFFS OF 1S90 AND IS1'4
CONTRASTED.
The total receipts under the tariff
act of ism for the first twenty-two
months of its enforcement, from Sep
tember, 1X94, to June. ISWi. were $557.
IU5,32S, and the expenditures $B40,41S.
Sfi.':. or a deficiency of $S2.K03.035.
The decrease in our exports of Amer
ican products nnd manufactures dur
ing the tvfst fifteen months of the
present tariff as contrasted with
the exports In the first fifteen
months of the tariff of lSlifl,
was $220,353,320. Tho excess of ex
ports over Imports during the first
tirteeq, months of the tariff of 1S90 was
$2072.WW, but only $56.75S.fi2:l under
the first fifteen months of the tariff
of 1X91. n loss under tho latter of $157.
214,345. The net loss In the trade bal
ance of the United States has been
$19fi.9S3.G07 during the first fifteen
months operation of the tariff of 1X91,
ns compared with the first fifteen
months of tho tariff of 1X90:
The loss hns been large, constant nnd
steady, at the rate of $13.130.0M per
month, of $500,000 for every buslnss day
of this year.
LOSIXO IN ROTH DIRECTIONS.
We have either been lending too much
money out of the country or getting
too little in. or both. We have lost
steadily In both directions. Our for
eign trade lias been dlmlnshed nnd our
domestic trnde has suffered Incalcul
able loss. Does not this suggest the
cause of our present depression and ln
(llctate Its remedy. Confidence in home
enterprises has almost wholly disap
peared. Even wheel shops are closed
or running on half time on reduced
wages and small profit, If not nt nctuaj
loss. Our men nt home are Idle and
while they are Idle, men abroad are
occupied In supplying us with goods.
Our unrivalled home market for the
farmer ha also greatly suffered be
cause these who constitute the great
army of American wage-earners are
without work and wages they formerly
had. If they cannot earn wages they
cannot buy products. They canont earn
if they have no employment, nnd when
they do not earn the farmer's home
market Is lessened and impaired, and
the loss is felt by both producer nnd
consumer. The loss of earning power
alone In this country, in the past three
years Is sufllclent to have produced our
unfortunate business sltuntlon. If our
labor was well employed, and em
ployed at remunerative wages as In
02, in a few months every farmer In
the land would feel the glad change
In the increast d demand for his pro
ducts and in the better prices whoi.h
he would receive.
NOT OPEN MINTS DUT OPEN MILLS
It Is not nn Increase In the volume
of money which is the need of the time,
but nn Increase In the volume of busi
ness. Not an Increase of coin, but an
Increase of confidence. Not more coin
age, but a more active use of the money
coined. Not open mints, unlimited
coinage of the silver of the world, but
open mills for the full and unrestricted
labor of American workingmen. The
employment of our mints for the cnln
age of silver of the world would not
bring the necessaries and comforts of
life back to our pcoplp. This will only
come with the employment of the
masses and such employment is certain
to follow the re-establishment of a wise
protective policy which shall encourage
manufacturing at home. Protection has
lost none of Its virtue and importance.
The first duty of the Republican party,
if restored to power In the country,
will be the enactment of a tariff law
which will raise nil the money neces
sary to conduct the government econom
ically and honestly administered, and
so adjusted as to give preference t.
home manufacturers and adequate pro
tection to home lahor nnd the home
market. We ure not committed to any
special schedules or rates of duty. They
are and should be always subject to
change to meet new conditions, but the
principle upon which rates of duty are
Imposed remains the same. Our duties
should always be high enough to meas
ure the difference between the wages
paid labor at home and in competing
countries nnd to adequately protect
American Investments and American
enterprises.
OUR FARMERS AND THE TARIFF.
Our fjrmers have been hurt by the
changci in our tariff legislation ns se
verely ps our laborers and manufactur
ers badly as they have suffered. The
Itepublican platform wisely declares In
favor of such encouragement to our
sugar Interests "as will lead to the
production on A'merlcan soil of all the
sugar which the American people use."
It promises to our wool and woolen In
terests "the most nmple protection,"
a guaranty that ought to commend it
self to every patriotic citizen. Never
was a more crlevous wrong done the
farmers of our country than that so
unjustly Inflicted during the past three
years upon the wool growers of Amer
ica. Although among our most Indus
trious and useful citizens their inter
ests have been practically destroyed
and our woolen manufacturers Involv
ed in similar disaster. At no time within
the past thirty-six years, and perhaps
never during nny previous period,
have so many of our woolen factories
been suspended as now. The Republi
can pnrty can be relied upon to correct
these great wrongs. If again entrusted
with the control of congress.
RECIPROCITY.
Another declaration of the Republi
can platform that has my most cordial
support Is that which favors reciprocity.
The splendid result of the reciprocity
arrangements that were made under
authority of the tariff law of isao are
striking and suggestive. Tho brief per
iod they were in force. In most cases
only three years, was not long enough
to thorougsly test their great value,
but sufliciert was shown by the trial
to conclusively demonstrate the Import
ance and th wisdom of their adoption.
In 1X92. the export trade of the United
States reached the highest point In our
history. The aggregate of our exports
that year reached the immense sum of
$1,030,27X.14S, a sum greater by one hun
dred million dollars than the exports
of Rny previous year.. In 1S93, owing
to the threat of unfriendly tariff leqis
lation, the . total dropped to J.X47,(iii5.1l.
Our exports of domestic merchandise
decreased $1S9.C00,000 but reciprocity still
secured us a large trade In Central and
South America, and a larger trade with
the West Indies than we had ever be
fore enjoyed. The Increase of trade
with the countries with which we had
reciprocity agreements was f 3.T.C0 Fl
over our trade In 1892, and $16,440,721
over our trade in 1891. The only coun
tries with which the United States trad
ed that showed Increased exports In 1893
were practically those with which we
had reciprocity arrangements. The
reciprocity treaty between this country
and paln, touching the markets or
Cuba and Porto Rico, was announced
Sept. 10, 1891. The growth of our trade
with Cuba was phenomenal. In 1891 we
sold that country but 114.441 parrels of
Hour, In 1892. 366.175, in 1893, 6T6.4SS. and
in 1X94, 662,248. Here was a growth of
nearly live hundred per cent., while our
exportation of flour to Cuba for the
year ending June 30, 1895 the year fol
lowing the reciprocity treaty fell to
379.856 barrels, a loss of nearly half our
trade with that country. The value of
our total exoorts of merchandise from
the I'nited tstates to Cuba in 1891 the
year prior to the negotiation of the
reciprocity treaty was $12,224.8X8. in
1XJ2. $17,933,579, In 1X93, J24.157.li9S, in 1894.
$20,123,321, but In 1X93. after the annul
ment of the reciprocity agreement. It
fell to only $12,8X7,661. Many similar
examples might be given of our In
creased trudc under reciprocity with
other countries, but enough hns beerj
shown of the ettlcaey of the legislation
of 1X90 to justify the speedy restoration
of its reciprocity provisions. In my
Judgment, congress should Immediately
restore the reciprocity sections of the
old law, with such amendments. If any.
as time and experience sanction as wise
and proper. The underlying principle
tuf this legislation must, however, be
strictly observed. It Is to afford new
markets for our surplus agricultural
nnd manufactured products, without
loss to the American laborer of a single
duy's work that he might otherwise
procure.
FOREION IMMIGRATION. .
The declaration of the platform
touching foreign Immigration Is one of
Iiecullar Importance at this time, when
our laboring people are In such great
distress. 1 am in hearty sympathy
with the Present legislation restricting
foreign Immigration, and favor such
extension of the laws as will secure the
United States from Invasion by the
debused and criminal classes of the old
world. While we adhere to the public
policy under which our country Iiue
received great bodies of honest. Indus
trious citizens, who have added to tlte
wealth, progress and power of the
country, and while we welcome to our
shores the well disposed and Indus
trious immigrant who contributes by
his energy and intelligence to the cause
of free government, we want no immi
grants who do not seek our shores to
become citizens. We should permit
no one to participate in the advantages
of our civilization who does not sympa
thize with our alms and form of gov
ernment. We should receive none who
come to make war on upon our institu
tions and profit by public disquiet and
turmoil. Against ull bucIi our gntes
must be tightly closed.
OUR SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.
Tl'.e soldiers and snilors of the Union
ishould neither be negelected nor for
gotten. The government which they
served so well must not make their
lives ur condition hurder by treating
them as suppliants for relief in old age
or distress, nor. regard with disdain o.
rontenipt the earnest interst one com
rade naturally manifests In the welfare
of another. Doubtless there have been
pension abuse and frauds In the nu
merous claims allowed by the govern
ment, but the policy governing the
administration of the pension bureau
must always be fair and liberal. No
desehving applicant should ever suffer
because of a wrong perpetrated by or
fur another. Our soldiers and sailors
gave the government the best they lind.
They freely offered health, strength,
limb and life to save the country In the
time of Us greatest peril, and the gov
ernment must honor them in their
need ns in their service with the respect
nnd gratitude due to brave, noble and
self sacrificing nun who are Justly
entitled to generour aid In their In
creasing necessities.
OUR MERCHANT MARINE AND
NAVY.
The declaration of the Republican
platform In favor of the upbuilding of
our merchant ninrlne hns my hearty
approval. The policy of discriminat
ing duties in favor of our shipping
which prevailed In the early years of
our history should be again promptly
adopted by congress nnd vigorously
supported until our prestige nnd supre
macy on the seas Is fully attained.
Wc should no longer contribute direct
ly or Indirectly to the; maintenance of
the colossal murine of foreign coun
tries but provide an efficient and com
plete murine of our own. Nov that
