GOV. GRAY’S SPEECH -AT THE—TARIFF REFORM MEETING,

Scottsburg, Ind, Sept. 21jj1889. Gov. Gray spok * as follows: Fellow Citizens —The assembling of such a large concPurse of citizens here on this occasion, at a time when no political campaign is being waged, at a time when no election is pending, at a time when 1 know the people of Irdiana prefer political quietude, is an evidence that you, my countrymen, do not regard the present as a time, though it be an oil year, that justifies inattention to public questions which deeply concern your welfare. It is no wonder that the peo. le are aroused when it is ap* parent that extravagance is again to mark the administration of nas tional affairs. It is ho wonder that the people are aroused when it is evident that the land grabbers and subsidized corporate s are again in favor with the government. It is no wonder that the people are aroused when they see for the first time in many years a rapid increase of the national debt. It is no wonder that the people are aroused when the president boldly informs them that he is in favor of reviving the old republican policy of subsidizing corporations.

It seems to me that it takes a good deal of assurance to proclaim such a policy in the light of the past history of republican subsidization of railroad corporations with the people’s lands and the nation’s bonds. Let us revive our commerce by reforming the tariff that destroyed it —and then there will exist no necessity to subsidize mail steamship corporations with the people’s money. 1 do not believe that there is a citizen in Indiana to-day, whatev* er his political feoclivities may be, who does not believe and feel, and would say, if he were to give an honest and unprejudiced expression to his thoughts, that the best interests of the country were not conserved by the election of Harrison and the r. turn of the republican party to power. Ask yourselves, my fellow-citizens, in the quiet of your own homes, wh't it was that the democratic administration under Grover Cleveland did during its administration of the government that did not meet your approval and see if you can find an answer that in your honest judgment justifies the re suit of the last election. I feel that I can say without the 'ear of contradiction that the people did not vote to discontinue the democratic administration under Cleveland because it was the first administration to recover back to the people millions upon millions of acres of the public lands that had been given to railroad corporations by republican administrations.

]Sor because it was the first administration since the elos 5 of the war to exercise care and control over the public domain, protecting the rights of the people thereto. Nor because it was the first administration to oppose alien acquirements of our public lands. Nor because it was the first administration since the close of the war to begin the rebuil .ing o* the navy.

Nor because it was the first administration since the close of the war to recogmz that a public office is a public trust And that this is a government of the people and for the people, and should be administered in the interest of the people and the whole people, and not in the interest of special classes, and, therefore, sought to relieve the people of the burden of unnecessary taxation, believing unnecessary taxation to be unjust taxation. No, my eountrymen, the democratic administration under Cleveland was not condemned at the ballot-box on account of any fair and honest objection tlia* could be founa against it. The defeat of

t he democratic partya lid tariff reformwasenco mpassedbydebauch ing the elective franchise and by gross misrepresentations in rela> to the tariff and by promise of good times if tariff reform was defeated and the republican protection policy by the election of Harri on —promises and misrepres »qta iom that have already turned tq. ashes upon the lips of those wWmade them, and will yet, like soi®r grapes, set their teeth on edge aiil cause the people to rise up in 1892 and hurl the republican party from power.—

You were told, m fellow citizens, during the last campaign, by every republican speaker from Harrison d< wn that if you fs>uld elect Harrison and thereby the republican party to power, that the country would -sthen understand that the present war tariff wouh not be disturbed and that as soon as the country was assured that the blessings of our monopolistic prot ctive system of high taxation, which has maie millionaires by the thousand aiM poor men by the millions, wouldnbe continued; that the business of *the country wou’d immediately revive; tint the idle manufactories would again be in motion; that the furnaces would vomit forth their fire nd smoke by day and by night, that their activity wDuld be so great as to make the iron pigs fairly squeal with joy; that the mines would be worked as never before, giving ample employment to the miner at remunerative wages; that all the arteries of trade would puhpte with new life; aud, above ?d#and better than all, would be J&e Harrisonian home market that would be established by his e ection and the undisturbed continuance of the war tariff; a home market that would consume all the products of the American farmer at much higher prices than could be obtained abroad. And so solicitous was Harri. on for the people’s welfare and so fearful that they might by neglect or inattention fail to understand and be informed as to the great benefit that would accrue to their various interests and occupations by the establishment of th<* great home market which wo’a surely spring up on his elevation to the presidency, that he procured the people to be brought before him at university park in the city of Indianapolis, the great Mecca of the[ republican protection monopolist during the campaign. The people were requested to come in delegations, each delegation representing its own particular interest and occupation, that he might fully explain to each the blessings of the monopoly war tariff and the great home market that was soon to come. One day was set apart for the farmer, another for the laboring people, another for the railroad men, another for the commercial travelers aud a special day for the miners. The people came and they were told in eloquent language of the great benefits that would accrue to them and their occupation if they wo’d return the republican party to power and thereby continue the monopoly war tariff.

Election day came; Harrison got the presidency and $50,000 a year, and every monopolist in the country shouted with joy; but what did the people get? As soon as Harrison was inaugurated Carnes gie and other monopolists notified their workmen that their wages would be reduced 20 per cent., and the very miners of Clay county, who came to hear Harrison at University park, were notified of a re iuction on their already starving wsges of only $5,75 per week. The price of the farmer’s product has gone down and he has not been able to find the home m ,rket t at Harrison promised him, The commercial travelers have experi enced the dullest season that they have known in a dozen years. The manufactories are failing all over the country, and a million of laboring people are out of employ* ment, and fully 50,000 families suffering for the necessaries of life. Up to this time the arteries

of trade have not pulsated with new life instilled, into them by the defeat of tariff reform, but at last the people are awakening to a realizing sense of the situation. They are beginning to understand th * true workings of the war tariff and how it affects the industrial masses, and cannot longer be deceived. The tariff monopolists have exliaus ted their vocabulary of deceptive pleas. It wll take something more in *he futu. e than the promise of a Barrisonian home market — something more than high-sound-ing words and glittering general!, ties, portraying the blessings of high taxes —to uphold a system qf taxation that gluts the market with tge products of protected monopolies, creates and pr tects- combines and trusts to such an extent as to enable them io control the markets end fix their own prices for their commodities, mhny instances, they sell at lower prices in foreign markets tlrtvn 1 hey do t.» the people at home.. — And that is preciselyjhe kind of home market that the present tariff has established for the people of this country, a home market for

the sale of the products of protected monopolies at fixed prices, while the price of the farmer’s product is fixed by the market at Liverpool in competition with with the whole world. We ex ported during the last fiscal year $127,191,687 worth of breadetuffs, which included 65,789,261 bushels of wheat. These exports, my f trmer friends, fixed the price of your grain. When wheat goes up in price at Liverpool, it goes up in price i j New York, in Indianapolis and in every city and town in the country. When the pree goes down in Liverpool, itjgoes down in New York, in Indianapolis and in every city and town in the United States. No person is taxed *.O increase the prices of the farmer’s product. The farmer has to take such prices as the markets of the world give him, but the price of everything that the farmer uses, his farming implements, his household goods, and everything he wears, from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet, is enhanced in price by the tariff, but does not enhance the price of A single article that the farmer produces for sale. The injustice of the present war tariff toward the farming interest is made apparent by the gov*, ernment statistics, which show that prior to its enactment over halt

the nation’s vealtfcrwas in the hands of the farmer’s, while to day they do not own one-sixth the wealth oflthe country. And when we consider that man derives his sustenance from the tillage of the soil; that without its cultivation he could not exist; that the prosperity of every business and occupation in the country dep nds uton the prosperity of the farmer, not only justice but the welfare of all classes demands that the burden placed on the agricultural classes by the wir tariff should be removed.— Neither will the scarecrow of free tr tde, set up by the protectionist, any longer deceive the people.— Tariff reform does not mean free trade. It means a just and equitable systemjof taxation, reduced in amount to the requirments and nec< ssities of the government.— Such a svstem of taxation would be protection, for tha reason that it would be just to all classes.

But the present tariff that taxes common pine lumber, that is used in the construction of humble homes, $2 per thousand feet, and does not tax satin-wood, rose-wood and other fine woods imported and used in decorating the homes of the rich; that taxes common window glass 66 pent.; tinware, 45 per cent.; knives and forks,so per cent; common dress goods, 52 per cent.; elothing, 56 per cent; furniture, 35 per cent; carpets, 47 per cent.; flannel, 69 per cent.; knit goodc, 61 per cent.; sugar, 79 per cent.; rice, 12 per cent., and the wagon and farming implement of the farmer, and does not tax the income on the securities of corporations, nor the income of the rich; that taxes those
