Our Condition In December, 1892. In December, 1892, President Harrison ”sent his last message to congress. It was an able and exhaustive review of the con- dition and resources of the country. It stated our situation so accurately that I am sure it will not be amiss to recite his official and valuable testimony. “There never has been a time in our history,” said he, “when work was so abundant or when wages were so high, whether measured by the currency‘in which they are paid or by their power to supply the necessaries and comforts of life. The general average of prices has been such as to give to agricul- ture a. fair participation in the general prosperity. The new industrial plants es- tablished since Oct. 6, 1890, and up to Oct. 22, 1892, number 345 and the extensiobn of existing plants 108. The new capital in vested amounts to $40,646,060 and the number of additional employees 37,285. During the first six months of the present calendar year 135 new factories were built, of which40 were cotton mills, 48 knitting mills, 26 woolen 'mills, 15 silk mills, 4 plush mills and 2 linen mills. Of the 40 . cotton mills- 21 have been built in the southern. states. ’ ’ This fairly describes the happy condi- tion of the country in December, 1892. What has it been since, and what is it new? Our Condition Eight Months Later. The messages of President Cleveland from the beginning of‘his second adminis- tration to the present time abound with descriptions of the deplorable industrial and financial situation of the country. While no resort to history or ofiEicial state- ment is required to advise us of the pres- ent condition and that which has prevailed during the past three years, I venture to quote from President Cleveland’s first message, Aug. 8, 1893, addressed to the Fifty-third congress, which he had called together in extraordinary session. “The existence of an alarming and extraordinary business situation," said he, “involving the welfare and the prosperity of all our people, .has constrained me to cull together in extra session the people’s representatives _in congress, to the end that, through the wise and patriotic exercise of the legislative duties with which they solely are charged, the present evils may I: mitigated and dangers threatening the future may be averted. Our unfortunate financial plight is not the result of untoward events or of conditions related to our natural re- sources, nor is it traceable to any of the nfillctiens which frequently check nations. growth and prosperity. With plenteous crops, with abundant promise of remuner- ative production and manufacture, with unusual invitation to safe investment and with satisfactory assurances to business enterprises, suddenly financial distrust and fear have sprung up on every side. Numer- ous moneyed institutions have suspended because abundant assets were not immedi- ately available to meet the demands of frightened depositors. Surviving corpora- tions and individuals are content to keep in hand the money they are usually. anx- ious to loan, and those engaged in legit- imate business are surprised to find that the securities they ofi‘er for loans, though heretofore satisfactory, are no longer ac- cepted. Values supposed to be fixed are fast becoming conjectural, and loss and failure have invaded every branch of busi- ness. ” What Caused the Change. What a startling and sudden change within the short period of eight months, from December, 1892, to August, 1893! What had occurred? A change of adminis- tration. All branches of the government had been intrusted to the Democratic party, which was committed against the protect- ive policy that had prevailed uninterrupt- edly for more than 32 years and brought unexampled prOSperity to the countryand firmly pledged to its complete, overthrow and the substitution of a tarifi‘ for revenue only. The change having been decreed by the elections in November, its effects were at once anticipated an% felt. We cannot close our eyes to these ltered conditions, nor would it be wise to exclude from con- templation and investigation the causes which produced them. which we cannot, .as a people, disregard, and we can only hope to improve our pres- ent condition by a study of their causes. In December, 1892, we had the same cur— rency and practically the same volume of currency at we have now. -It aggregat- ed in 1892 $2,372,599,501; in 1893, 82,323,- 000,000; in 1894, 82,323,442362, and in December, 1895, $2,194,ooo,230. The per capita of money, too, has been practically the same during this whole period. The quality of the money has been identical, all kept equal to gold. .There is nothing connected with our money, therefore, to account for this sudden and aggravated in— dustrial change. Whatever is to be depre- cated in our financial system, it must ev- erywhere be admitted that our money has been absolutely good.and has brought nei- ther loss nor inconvenience to its holders. A depreciated currency has not existed to further vex the troubled business situation. On a Gold Basis. It is a mere pretense to attribute.~ the hard times to the fact that all our cur- rency is on a gold basis. Good money nev- er made times hard. Those who assert that our present industrial and financial de- pression is the result of the gold standard have not read American history aright or been careful students of the events of re- cent years. We never had greater prosper- ity in this country in every field of em- ployment and industry than'in the busy years from 1880 to 1892, during all of - ,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. protective tarifi‘, under which ample revenues were collected for the government 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 are employed. Both have always been steadily and remuneratively engaged dur- ing all the years of protective tariff legis- lation. When those who have money lack confidence in the stability of values and in- vestments, they will not part with their money. Business is stagnated. The life- blood of trade is checked and congested. We cannot restore public confidence by an act which would revolutionize all values or an act which entails a. deficiency in the public revenues. We cannot inspire con- fidence by advocating repudiation or prac- ticing dishonesty. We cannot restore con- fidence either to the treasury or to the peo- ple without a change in our present tariff legislation. The Tariff of 1894. that affected the treasury and the employ- ment of our people passed by the Eifty- third congress was the general tarifi‘ act, which did not receive the approval of the president. Whatever virtues may be claim- ed for that act, there ‘is confessedly one which it does not possess. It lacks the u They ..are facts , The only measure of a general nature ‘ essential virtue of its creation—the raising of revenue sufficient to supply the needs of the government. It ‘has at no time pro- vided enough revenue for such needs, but it has caused a constant deficiency in the treasury and a steady depletion in the earnings of labor and land. It has con tributed to swell our national debt more than $262,000,000, a sum nearly as great as the debt of the government from Wash- ington to Lincoln, including all our for- eign wars from the Revolution to the re- bellion. Since its passage work at home has been diminished, prices of agricul- tural products have fallen, confidence has been arrested, and general business de- moralization is seen on every hand. The total receipts under the tarifif act of 1894 for the first 22 months of its enforce- ment from September, 1894, to June, 1896, were $557,615,328 and the, expenditures $640,418, 363, or a deficiency of $82,803,- 035. The decrease in our exports of Ameri- canproducts and manufactures during the . first 15 months of the present tariff as con- trasted with the exports of the first 15 months of the tariff of 1890 was 8220,- 353,320. The excess 'of exports over im- ports during the first 15 months of the tariff of 1890 was $213,972,968, but only $56,758,623 under the first 15 months of the tariff of 1894, a. loss under the latter of 157,214,345. The net loss in the trade balance of the United States has been $196,983,607 during the first 15 months’ operation of the tariff of 1894 as compared with the first 15 months of the tariff of 1890. ' The loss has been large, constant and steady at the rate of $13,130,000 per month, or $500,000 for every business day of the year. We have either been sending too much money out of the country or getting too little in, or both. We have lost steadily in both directions. Our foreign trade has been diminished, and our domestic trade. has suffered incalculable loss. Does not this suggest the cause of our present de- pression and indicate its remedy? Confi- dence in home enterprises has almost Wholly disappeared. Our shops are closed or running on half time at reduced wages and small profit, if not actual loss. - Our men at home are idle, and wl‘ilc they are idle men abroad are occupied in supplying us with goods. Our unrivaled home mar- ket for the farmer has also suffered greatly because those who constitute it—thc great many of American wage earners—are with- out the work and wages they formerly had. If they cannot earn wages, they cannot buy products. They cannot earn if they have no employment, and when they do not earn the farmer’s home market is lessened and impaired, and the loss is felt by bothpro- ducer and consumer. The loss of earning power alone in this country in the past three years is sufficient to have produced our unfortunate business situation. If our labor was well employed, and employed at as remunerative wages as in 1892, in a few months every farmer in the land would » feel the glad change in the increased de- mand for his products and in the better prices which he Would receive. Open Mills, Not Open Mints. It is not an increase in the volume of money which is the need of the time, but an increase in the volume of business; not an increase of coin, but an increase of confidence; not more coinage, but a more active use of the money coined; not open mints for the unlimited coinage of the silver of the world, but open mills for the full and unrestricted labor of Ameri- can workingmen. The employment of our mints for the coinage of the silver of the world would not bring the necessaries and comforts of life back to our people. This will only co c with the employment of the masses, . and such employment is certain to follow the re-establishment of a wise protective policy which shall encourage manufactur- ing at home. Protection has lost none of its virtue and importance. The first duty of the Republican party if restored to pow- er in the country will be the enactment of a tariff law which will raise all the money ' necessary to conduct the government, economically and honestly administered, and so adj listed as to give preference to home manufactures and adequate protec- tion to home labor and the home market. We are not committed to any special sched- ules 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 measure the difference between the wages paid labor at home and in compet‘ ing countries and to adequately protect Amer- ican investments and American enterprises. Our farmers have been hurt by the changes in our tariff legislation as severely as our la- borers and manufacturers, badly as they have suffered. The Republican platform wisely de- clares in favor of such encouragement to our sugar interests “as will lead to the production on American soil of all the sugar which the American people use. ” The Principle of Reciprocity. It promises to our wool and woolen interests “the most ample protection,” a guarantee that ought to commend itself to every patriotic citizen. Never wds a more grievous wrong done the farmers of our country than that so unjustly inflicted during the past three years upon the woolgrowers of America. Although among our most industrious and useful citi- zens, their interests have been practically de- stroyed and our woolen manufacturers in- volved in similar disaster. At no time within the past 36 years and perhaps never during any previous period have so many of our wool- en factories been suspended ns now. The Be- publican party can be relied upon to correct these great wrongs if again intrusted with the control of congress; Another declaration of the Republican plat- form thut has my most cordial support is that which favors reciprocity. The splendid results of the reciprocity arrangements that were made under authority of the tariff law of 1890 are striking and suggestive. The brief period they were in force, in most cases only three years, was not long enough to thoroughly test their great value, but sufficient was shown by the trial to conclusively demonstrate the im- portance and the wisdom of their adoption. In 189:2 the export trade of the United States attained the highest point in our history. The aggregate of our experts that year reached the immense sum of $1,030,278,l48, a sum greater by $100,600,000 than the. exports of any previ- ous year. In 1893, owing to the threat of un- friendly tariff legislation, the total dropped to $847,665,194. Our experts of domestic merchan- dise decreased $189,000,000, but reciprocity still lecured us a large trade in Central and South America and a larger trade with the West In- dies than we had ever before enjoyed. The in- crease of trade with the countries with which we had reciprocity agreements was $3,560,515 over our trade in 1892 and $16,440,721 over our trade in 1891. The only countries with which the United States traded that showed in- creased exports in 1893 were practically those with which we had reciprocity arrangements. The reciprocity treaty bet-ween this country and Spain. touching the markets of Cuba and Puerto Rico, was anneunced'Sept. 1,1891. The growth of our trade with Cuba was 'phenom- enal. In 1891 we sold that country but 114,441 barrels of flour: in 1892. 336,175; in 1893, 616,406, and in 1894, 622.248. Here was a growth of. nearly 500 per cent, while our exportations of flour to Cuba for the year ending June 30, 1895, the year following the repeal of the reciproc-t ity treaty, fell 150379.896 barrels, a loss of , nearly half our trade with that country. The value of our total exports of merchandise from the United States to Cuba in 1891, the year prior to the negotiation of the reciprocity treaty, Was $12,224,888: in1892. $17,953,579; in 1893. $24,157,698: in 1894 $20,125,321, but in 1895, after the annulment of “the reciprocity agree ment, it fell to- only 812,887,661. Mapy shnilar examples might be given of our increased trade under reciprocity with other countries but enough has been shown of the efficacy of the legislation 'of 1890 to justify the speedy restoration of its reciprocity pro. visions. In my judgment, congress should im- mediately restore the reciprocity section of the old law, with such amendments, if any, as time and experience sanctiomns wise and prop- rr. The underlying principle of this legisla- tion must, however, be strictly observed. It is to afford new markets for our surplus agricul- tural and manufactured products, without loss lo the American laborer of a single day '3 work that he might otherwise procure. i’ Foreign Immigration. The declaration of the platform touching foreign immigration is one'of peculiar impor- tance at this time, while our own laboring people are in such great distress. I 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 debased and crim- inal classes of the old world. ' While we ad- here to the public policy under which our country has .received great bodies of honest, industrious citizens who have added to the wealth, progress and power of» the country, and while we welcome to our shores the well disposed and industrious: immigrant who con- tributes 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 none to partici- pate in the advantages of our civilization who do not sympathize with our aims and form of government. We should receive none who come to make war upon our institutions and profit by public disquiet and turmoil. Against all such our gates must be tightly closed. The Soldiers and Sailors. The soldiers and sailors of the Union should neither be neglected nor forgotten. The gov- ernment which they served so weli‘ must not make their lives or condition harder by treat- ing them as suppliants for relief in old age or distress or regard with disdain or con- tempt the earnest interest one comrade natu- rally manifests in the. welfare of another. Doubtless there have been pension abuses and frauds in the numerous claims allowed by the government, but the policy governing the ad- ministration of the pension bureau must al- ways be fair and liberal. N o deserving appli- cant should ever suffer because of a. wrong perpetrated by or for another. Our soldiefl and sailors gave the government thebest they bad. They freely offered health, strength, limb and life to save the country in the time of its greatest peril, and the government must honor them in their need as in their service with the respect and gratitude due to brave, noble and self sacrificing men who are justly entitled to generous aid in their increasing necessities. The declaration of the Republican platform in favor of the upbuilding of our merchant marine has my hearty approval. The policy of discriminating duties in favor of our shipping which prevailed in the early years of our his- tory should be again adopted by congress and vigorously supported until our prestige and supremacy on the seas are fully attained. We should no longer contribute directly or indi- rectly to the maintenance of the colossal ma- rine of foreign countries, but provide an effi‘ cient and complete marine of our own. Now that the American navy is assuming a position commensurate with our importance as a na- tion, a policy I am glad to observe the Repub- lican platform strongly indorses, we must sup- plement it with a merchant - marine that will give us the advantages in both our coastwise and foreign trade that we ought naturally and properly to enjoy. It should be at once a mat- ter of public policy and national pride to re- possess this immense und prosperous’trade. Civil Service Reform. The pledge of the Republican national con- vention that our civil service laws “shall be sustained and thoroughly and honestly en- forced and extended wherever practicable" is in keeping with the position of the party for the past 24 years and will be faithfully ob- served. Our opponents decry these reforms. They appear willing to abandon all the ad- vantages gained after so many years’ agitaticfi rand-effort. They encourage a return to meth- ods of party favoritism which both parties have often denounced, that experience has condemned and that the people have repeat- edly disapproved. The Republican party car- nestly opposes this r’cticnary and entirely un- justifiable policy. It will take no backward step upon this question. It will seek to im- prove but never degrade the public service. There are‘other important and timely dec- larations in the platform which I cannot here discuss. - I must content myself with saying that they haye my approval. If as Republic- ans we have lately addressed our attention with what may seem great stress and earnest- ness to the new and unexpected assault upon the financial integrity of the government, we have done it because the menace is so grave as to demand especial consideration and because we are convinced that if the people are aroused to the true understanding and meaning of this silver inflation movement they will avert the danger. In doing this we feel that we render the best service possible to the country, and we appeal to the intelligence, conscience and patriotism of the people, irrespective of party or section, for their earnest support. To Maintain Law and Order. We avoid no issue. We meet the sudden, dangerous and revolutionary assault upon law and order, and upon those to whom is confided by the constitution and laws the authority to uphold and maintain them, which our oppo- nents have made with the same courage that we have faced every emergency since our or- ganization us a, party, more than 40 years ago. Government by law must first be assured. Everything else can wait. The spirit of law- lessness must be extinguished by the fires of an unselfish and lofty patriotism. Every at- tack upon the public faith and every sugges- tion of the repudiation of debts. public or pri- vate, must be rebuked by all men who believe that honesty is the best policy or who love their country and would preserve unsullied its national honor. The country is to be congratulated upon the almost total obliteration of the sectionah lines which for many years marked the division of the United States into slave and free territory and finally threatened its partition into two separate governments by the dread ordeal of civil war. The era of reconciliation so long and earnestly desired by General Grant and many other great leaders, north and south, has happily come, and the feeling of distrust and hostility between the sections is every- where vanishing, let us hope never to return. Nothing is better calculated to give strength to the nation at home, increase our power and influence abroad and add to the permanency and security of our free institutions than the restoration of cordial relations between the people of all sections and parts of our beloved country. If called by the sufirages of the peo- ple to assume the duties of the high ogice of' president 0 the United States, I shall count it a privilege ~o aid, even in the slightest degree, in the promotion of the spirit of fraternal re- gard which should animate and govern the citizens of every section, state or part of the republic. After the lapse of . a century since its utterance let us at length and. lorever here- after heed the admonition of Washington, “There should be no north. no south, no east, no west, but a common country.” It shall be my constant aim to improve every opportunity to advance the cause of good gov- ernment by promoting that spirit of forbear- ance and justice which is also essential to our prosperity and happiness by joining most heartily in all proper efforts to restore the re- lations of brotherly respect and affection which in our early history characterized all the peo- ple of all the states. I would be glad to con- tribute toyverd binding in indivisible union the difierent divisions of the country, which indeed now “have every inducement of sym- pathy and interest” to weld them together more strongly than ever. I would rejoice to see demonstrated to the world that the north and the south and the east and the west are not separated or in danger of becoming sepa- rated because of sectional or party differences. The War is long since over. “We are not ene- mies. but friends,” and as friends we will faithfully and cordially cooperate, under the approving smile of him who has thus far so signally sustained and guided us. to preserve inviolate our country’s name and honor. its peace and good order and its continued as- cendency among the greatest governments on earth.

In former times the: punishment of the bagno (bath), one of. the most clev- erly cruel inflictions ever' devised by an officer of the torture chamber, was ad- ministered in Italy, probably in Venice, where the water of the Lagoons played so prominent a part in its penal system. The punishment was as follows: The prisoner was placed in a. vat, the sides of which were slightly in excess of the average height of a man. In order to hold in check the rising tide of a supply of water which ran into the vat in a constant stream, the criminal was furnished with a scoop with which to- bail out the water as fast as it came in on him. The respite from death by immersion thus obtained was more or less pro- longed, according to the powers, of en- durance possessed by the victim.
