present a party io ohio without division in its ranks without a break in its line the platform which vou have adopted meets my approval the republican party of ohio approves of the administration of pres hanison and extends to congratulation the party favor regulated immigration of liberal pensions to our soldiers eis and bc alors to leave a bound currency it is in favor of gold and silver and also paper money basped upon coin all to be alual and at all times interchangeable equal in fact and in law we are confronted by a real danger which prudent men of all parties should seek to avert before it is too late the public credit and bound finance must bal preserved and every scheme to destroy it roust bo met with courage and intelligence and repelled by ane mighty force of public opinion better risk defeat which can only be temporary than fr capitulate with demagogues or surrender to dishonesty our platform endorses protective tariff we protected american product 3 andauer ican labor so long as foreign products compete with our own in our market we propose to tax them rather than tax our own the democrat c party prefers to tax domestic produce rather than imported the tariff legislation would benefit every country but our own we follow in our tariff policy teachings washington and hamilton and clay and webster and lincoln and garfield they pursue the fallacies of cobden and bright and kalhoun and the statesmen of the late southern confederacy they are pledged now to impede if prosperity until after the next presidential elec tion their mission this year business disaster and reve reea is the ladder of prosperity and contentment among the people idle furnaces dismantled factories silent mines unemployed work general distress are sure harbingers of a democratic Demora tic victory they are discouraging industrial du activity through their press and their orators everywhere and every day and it breaks their hearts to see cay manifestations in industrial advancement in the united states they sneer at every attempt to establish new factories and would g adly frown them down it is the bamat sneer and frown which haa been exhibited toward our industrial enterprises since til but in spite of them we now lead the world in manufactures agriculture and mining and we will r under the new law in spite of their false omens and discourage ing prophecies referring to the complaints among free traders about the increased duties under the naw law major mckinley said that thirty three and one third per cent of them are for the better protection of the american farmer twenty are upon wine and spirits which will hardly burden farmen and five are upon tobacco and agricultural industry can such advantages be found in any previous tariff legislation while securing to the farmer the home market by increased protection the reciprocity clause is intended to extend his foreign market and upon terms more favorable than those accorded to competing agricultural countries it ia a significant fact that articles which the farmer most frequently buys bears less tariff than under the law of 83 and products which he sells bear a higher duty than ever before turning to alie state issues major mckinley barged the democratic ad and legislature with depriving the legally elected republican lieutenant governor of his seat without a legal contest with making unjust and partisan congressional gerrymander and with unparalleled extravagance in the state expenditures immediately after the close of me Kin leys stirring speech there were loud cries of shermana Sherma nl shermana Sherma nl the figure of the senior senator of ohio finally im merged from the crowd in the rear of the halland again the enthusiastic thusia scenes of the convention were in his speech senator eulogized the republican party reviewing ita work from the time oi its inception continuing sherman said ve therefore can honestly claim our party has been faithful servants of the people and is fairly entitled to their confidence and support but we do not rest our claims upon this fact alone we invite i the strictest scrutiny into our conduct i the present republican administration ol 01 benjamin harridon Harri aon and the recent republican congress in connection with president harrison has dealt with all the leading domestic questions of the time and with the most important questions with the foreign nations every one of cheso have either been settled or are in the way of settlement the administration of cleveland settled nothing but sublime egotism cheye laud in his opposition to the protection policy nis want of sympathy fr union soldiers and his narrow notions of finance and public credit devised nothing and accomplished nothing the democratic house passed the mills tariff bill but ilg was rejected by the senate and by the people in the election of 1888 in marked contrast with this ia the republican administration of harison and the recent republic in congress the first in importance ras the entire revision of our revenue this bill was subjected to a most c ireful sc in both houses and passed as a republican measure and was approved by the president li is in my judem a vise law aad will bear the most careful scrutiny it is a fair law for it extends its bene fits not only to the artisan but to the lor fsr and producers and in every field of employment by my long experience in passing upon the tariff I 1 know that the mckinley bill more carefully and bene protects the farmer in his productions duct ions than any previous measure of the kind and its inevitable effect in encouraging manufacturers will give to the farmer the beat possible market for his crops the bill has been received and will bear discussion and will improve on acquaintance the new features of the bill relating to sugar and tin will soon demonstrate the most satisfactory result the increased duty put tin plate will develop and has already developed tin mines in several states and territories we may confidentially hope in a short peri id we will be sweetened by untaxed home buzar and protected by untaxed tin plate the arts of the demagogue who at the last election played upon the credulous to deceive them as to the effects of the mckinley bill will soon return to plague the inventors incent ors and this republican measure with its kindred measures of reciprocity and fair american ships will be among the boasted triumphs of our party in which our democratic friends will as usual heartily acquiesce the state of ohio is an important factor in this great union of and tho people of ohio live iu a republican state one that has taken a part in the great drama that is past in an evil hour and under wild delusions ohio elected the present democratic legislature with warning behind us let us not be backward or laggard in the cilc contest in november but with n ticket bortny ot your choice let us appeal to our fellow citizens to place again our honored state at head of the republican column cheer the committee on resolutions then reported the platform which was adopted for lieutenant governor andiew L
