Tho Republican party has always followed tho maxim "Plant tho fac tory by tho farm," that thoro mny ho tho closest posslblo exclinnuo bo- tweon tho two great bodies of pro ducers. Ono of tho old complaints 1p hi In the West was that tho manu facturing was principally In tho Kast; but tho continuation of n sottled policy of protection hns grad ually oxtendod tho Industrial dnvni- 'opment to tho West nnd tho South, bringing agriculture and mnnufac turo closer together. Tho now sta tistics of mnnufnetures compiled by tho United Stntes census olllco last yenr show moro clenrly than nny previous census the gonernl benefit of tho protectlvo policy. Tho nros- perlty thnt hnB come to tho country under tho Dlngloy law has not been Bpasmodlo nor Boctlonnl, oxcopt that It hns produced grenter extension of manufacturing Into Central, West ern nnd Southern stntes. This nnw conaus Bhows, first, thnt thoro hns been a largor per cent of lncrenso in tho capital put Into manufacturing Pianta in .tho Inst flvo years than there has boon In tho product of theso Industries. Tho nctual In crease In cnpltal was $3,700,000, 000, or 41 per cent greater tlmn the cnpitni invested In 1900. The actual Increase In output was $3.3i.nnn. 000, or about 30 per cent over that f 1900. Capital hns grown confl lfl"t of its Investment nnd has turned back Into the plnnt n larger share of Its earnings to lncrenso the demand for labor nnd ultlmntoly n- viviinu mo output. This census nlso shows thnt In ve years from 1900 to 1905 the In erenso In the number of wngo-earn-ors employed was 10 por cent over u.u numiifi m 1900, and the total wages pnld 30 por cent grenter; In "tier words, the lncrenso In tho otal wagoB pnld wns nlmost twice the ratio of tho lncrenso In employ nwnt.

Prosperity on the Farm. Xot alone In manufacturing has there been this doubllnc-un nrocess 'in prosperity under Republican ad ministration. Tho farmers havo doubled their crops and the money they havo received in exchange. Tho farm value of those three crent staplo crops In tho West, corn, wheat and oats, In 1S90, nmounted to $934,000,000 nnd last yenr It ag gregated $1,912,000,000 or moro than double the vnluo In tlm Inst vmv ... v. ,.,, oi uemocrntlc administration. The value of farm animals also doubled In the Bnmo period, Increasing from $1,72S,000,000 In 1S9C to $3,075, 000,000 In 1900. This prosperity to tho fnrmer was not confined to the corn and wheat belt of tho country. Like tho rain which falls on the Just mid unjust nllke, It descended upon our friends In the South, who still refuse to be Ilevo that prosperity can exist under Republican policies. Tho valuo of tho cotton crop went from $319,000, 000 in 1890 to more than $000,000, 000 In 1904, the last year for which we havo statistics. The miners dou bled their output of coal and iron and In every line of Industrial de velopment the last ten years havo been In hnrniony with this Rcrii.M.rni Injunction to mnko two blades of grass grow whore one grow before. uur foreign trade has been along AVheii to Itcvlso the Tniirr. Tariff revision in time of prosper ity always has halted, and always will halt, business activity, produc. tlon, and commerce. The mnni.. , turer will lessen his output, for he In fact, its proportion of the trade is relatively declining, while concur rently It is breaking Its own records of production and earnings.

It . ,,.,, n,,Uln ,, Is Impossible that .the trust should prosper and the trade languish." All legislation, arid especially rev enue legislation, is the result of com promise. It must inevitably bo so in order to command, as, of course, Is necessnry, a majority vote in both house and senate,. It is therefore impossible to secure perfection in each schedule of a tariff bill; but I havo no hesitation in saying that tho present revenue law, known ns the DIngley law, all things consid ered, is the most perfect and just customs-revenue laws ever enacted. Tho general distress and Industrie conditions prevailing throughout the re- many hun- Whero Vioa is commence and prosperity without precedent, thero would be doubt and destruction of confidence. I heartily endorse the nlatfnm, lately adopted by the Republicans of jnuiana, which, in substance, says that tho Republican party will revise tho tariff when it will do more good til n M lint n 4.1. .. 1 ........ ,., n, lUe great mass of the people. it is vltnl that tho Republican party snouid remain in power for the coming two years In order Hint i, legislative and executive depart ments or the government should con tinue ln harmony.
