every argument he advanced and he advanced many of them were followed up and clinched leaving not abail for a democratic opponent to hang on it was by far the strongest political speech ever delivered in provo city his remark in substance were as follows mr chairman ladies and gentlemen I 1 purpose this evening to talk over with you for a little while the question upon which the two political parties of the united states are divided in doing this I 1 will say I 1 will discuss them from the standpoint of a republican I 1 have been republican ever since the formation ot the republican party I 1 have worked in the party and inov what its principles are and I 1 dont allow any one from tue outside to tell me what they are 1 will you something of democracy I 1 like the republican party because it has always been true to the great majority of tho people of the nation to which we belong when the nation was assailed the republican party evry oue of them stepped forth to aade the nation and yet we have men in this territory who will bay the democrats saved the union that will do to tell to younger people but not to an old chap like gift in speaking to you democrats 1 will be as gentle as I 1 can and I 1 will try not to hurt you if you are hurt and think it is the truth that is hurting you and not me I 1 have been a republican eo long I 1 cant kielp telling the truth now there were three parties in the democratic party A great many of them were in the southern army many were in ane northern army very many of them others stayed at hone and attend to their business well either now words like trees crow we have such a word as telegram tul wea eoff the telegraph by brethren how is it that we have auch a term as war democrats there are no fauch words as war republicans they were all war republicans three war democrats differed rom the other democrats who were not in favor othe war I 1 can remember how the democratic party acted during the war while mothers were praying for their sons duding those dark hours the democrats of ohio met and nominated for governor because he had tried to assist the other side and then they passed a resolution declaring the war a failure was that helping to save the country the republicans replied by playing the tune we are coming father abraham strong the next great issue that divided tho parties was the question of the tariff itis alive today the democrats believe in a tariff for revenue and the republicans believe in a tariff for revenue and for the protection of our industries there is no anch a thing aa absolute freb trade among civilized nations england collects over per year for revenue you democrats say you are not free traders you are tanta reformers when I 1 thick of reformers my mind back to such men as luthier and others to put luther and cleveland to gether kind of mixes me up so in of the democrats tonight to night I 1 may befar to them as free traders england levies her tariff on goods she cannot produce she levies her tariff on tea tobacco etc that is the tariff for revenue only the protective plan is opposite from that the lemo rats say if there is any protection it ia incidental perhaps accidental would be i better we put tea and coffee and such things on the free list because we do not prodica them A tariff on things we do not produce is a tax we object to the duty on coffee tea sugar etc because the tax on these articles comes out of thy poorer people of the country because the poorer people use these articles in england where they have a revenue on tea there are poor people to one rich man and the poor man drinks about as much tea aa alie rich fellow now we believe in a tariff firby for revenue second to protect our industries and raise the jaees ot our workmen but the say you must not do that you place tax on goods and rob the people it is wicked to do that but I 1 claim that they are mistaken this protection cheapens things the democrats will tell you all about the philosophers and collene professors who believe in free trade well that may be so ant the practical i business men of the country dont be hieye in free trade the workmen who do dont believe in free trade I 1 would have the i ion of the man who bad made an axe handle and smoothed it put an ase on it and used it about axe bandies than I 1 would ahe opinion of a man who had written ten hooks about it aint that right my democratic friends now then whether we will cheapen things or not is dependent on anether we have cheapened things or not we haye had a protective tariff for thirty years we have had a protective tariff on salt 1 take salt because democrats make such a fuss about it they get red in the face they talk about that wicked ducy on salt another reason I 1 talk about salt ia because barrels of the salt used in the united stales each year ia manufactured in the state I 1 come from and af thia about barrels is made within sight of my own door so if there is anything I 1 know about it is salt now when the duty was first put on salt it cost a barrel but it came down down until now it is sold at fifty cents a barrel and tho barrel is thrown in the barrel coats twenty cents and so that leaves us thirty cents a barrel for the salt the duty on salt is thirty two cents a barrel now accordine accor dins to the democratic idea we would have to pay some man two cents a barrel to come and cart the salt away for us la there a democrat who knows ol 01 one protected article that ia not cheaper today if BO sing it out some one says hardware do you remember those old knives we used to buy under free trade our older friends do I 1 remember how I 1 bought a scythe under freo trade for I 1 bought one this year for sixty five cents I 1 would like some good farmer to tell me if he known of one single 1 article that is not cheaper today I remember what wire nails were a few years ago and I 1 also remember when we put a tariff on nails bow the democrats in congress did rave but we put a tariff of 4 on and right from that time wire naila went down and today we can buy nails for per keg more than that wa made last year kegs in our own country now come my democratic intends did we do wrong by put I 1 ting a tariff on wire naila tremendous applause now what has not been 1 cheaper can someone tell well some one says you are gout we know these things are cheaper why dont you talk about silk I 1 met a man on 1 tha cars who was almost dying to buy hia wife a silk dresa why dont you buy your wife a silk dress my friend I 1 asked because there is a tariff on aila ho said now we put the tariff on silk we did it and we never deny anything we have done when we put tariff on the manufactured article there waa none on the raw article there was none manufactured in the united states when we put the tariff on silk goods went down and sold for about one fourth of what it was sod for we mauu fae ture worth of silk every year employ americans and provide homes for american people let ua take it on cotton booda we used to buy them till in london thero we paid twenty cents and now I 1 can buy a dress good enough to be married in for five and six cents a yard oh clothing some one at ogden sung out to me I 1 remember very well when there no woolen mills in the united iS tulea for years my mother spun all the clothes I 1 wore I 1 remember the prices in taught school in illinois lor 18 a month and boarded around at that timo I 1 thought it was pretty low ant when I 1 reflect back on it now I 1 think it was frough I 1 bought me a suit of clothes for 22 I 1 can buy a suit now for 10 better than that wag well it aint the tariff that has cheapened this they say clothing haa been cheapened every where the improved machinery baa we can bev a for 7 in england as good as von can get here for 10 now I 1 dont khow whether you can do this or not I 1 doubt it but I 1 would rather pay the 10 and know the people who grew the wool and agun it can eat meat at least onca a week now I 1 want to bay if yon can buy clothing cheaper in england than you can here it is because you take it out of the bone and adnew of the man IS ow there is another thing whenever we try to make anything here we are told that we cant make it here because the climate or something is wrong we are told our wool is too long or too short or too fine or too coarse so cleveland recommended that the tariff be taken from wool then our farmers would hayo had to compete with australia where crazing land is rented at one cent an acre wall sinie cleveland sent that message to congress it is a bard matter to this day to find a democrat who can looka sheep square in the face applause and renewed applause they told us the same boing about salt they said our salt was of course a little brackish but it was not good enough tor the table finally the company in the city where I 1 live sent a challenge to theae english lelious to compete with them at a fair in new york stale and our friends took home the red rib boa another firm in pennsylvania did the thing the other day I 1 visited the salt works at warsaw and found them filling sacks marked with the engrish brand which was sant to new york to be sold to those who mast haye something english you know applause they told us we make linens in thia country we burned up in wisconsin last year tens ot alax to get it out of the way why dont we make linen says some one why the fabre fibre aint richt wag the answer we sent a man ovar ov ar to england with some of our flax he brought back a certificate the flax was a fine as any raised in europe and that all ho brought back he brought back domn for making binen he promised me the first yard of linen manufactured in america by abe machinery lie is now putting up I 1 to paint the stars and stripes on it and shake it in the lace of every free trader I 1 can find tremendous applause they have al so told us we could not make glass be cause there was something dirty in the baud but wo are making giruc now be handed if I 1 would belong to a party that is always finding fault with its country yoa all understand that I 1 and my wife understand each other pretty well I 1 have found out that she is an angel now it ache is not an angel and has som fault be hanged if am going to tell it about her if any one else says anything about her I 1 urn out on my muscle so it is with every ono who the true affection of his country when I 1 went to college was taught the theory we must do good to the greatest number but the longer I 1 live the morel begin to think we must do the greatest good to the smallest number my that sounds selfish sei fish the first one reform to id number on then number two a mans first duty la to himself next to his wife and then to his family and that constitutes the american home just as long as our farmers cultivate their farma and think them the sweetest little spot on earth so long will we have the grandest government on earth next to our family come neighbors and then our city we must nest look to our state and then to our country after we have thoroughly protected our own country and made her people happy if there is any time left I 1 have no objection jec tion to bene fitting the whole world but we must be careful that our benefits dont get spread out eo thin that it dont do boda any good I 1 acknowledge that the greatest autv of our lives 13 to benefit our fellow mau but we must go at it the right way wo must at home but our democratic friends tell us we should have free raw material you press them to tell you what raw material is and they have a hard time to tell there is very little raw material J remember prea a friend in congress to tell he said oil iron that was all right for him to say boi cause he was running a car about the man who makes the pig iron there is no raw material except tha iron ore that lies shim berine in tha bodom of the earth it all costs work in an engine which costs there is but 37 worth of raw material all the rest costs labor now my party believes in protecting the labor and if you want to co chasing about for that 37 why all right I 1 was lucky enough myself to be born poor and that aint all I 1 held my own marvelously and BO 1 am always m favor of the man who is toiling you dont pay any higher wages herft than they over there some one now if tha t is so why do they come over here vaiee because ahby want to pet democratic rule I 1 because they want to get democratic rule by thac they mean the republican Ke publican rule we have had hero for thirty years enthusiastic applause when the mckinley bill passed last year they had a great procession in london headed by the lord mayor they protested against the mckinley McKin lev bill will my democratic friends tell me why was it because they were afraid we were hurting ourselves over hera tom osborne they wanted to raise another to help elect cleveland again well their money will be wasted the building shook with applause these english people are all right I 1 dont blame them but I 1 do blame the americans for joining in aud yelling with them why my friends in coming through your valley to day I 1 saw some of the benefits of the mckinley McKin lev bill only back here a little way I 1 saw your sugar factory and I 1 was told by a gentleman who to be clever and honest that there were 2300 acres of beets being raised in utah this ia because the republicans u bounty of two cents a pound on suar do you believe that is doing you good here you democrats why bless you every mothers son of you in congress doted against thia bounty some one faid we put a wicked duty on tin no we did not put a autv ou tin we put it on tin plate tin plate is composed of 95 per cen steel and we make plenty of steel in this country tin we use for coating is on the fee f ee list bow we propose to maky our own tinplate tin plate yes more than that we are making tinplate tin plate today but the democratic papers tell us we are not making tinplate tin plate today yea but we aro 1 have seen it you know I 1 have been in the mills and seen the tin ulato come out between the rollers you cant beat that out of my mind today wo have twenty nine other mills ready to start up this same beneficial andua try we also have mines |
