\ Atlanta, August 21.—The speech of
■j-Oongressman William McKinley, of Ohio,
at Piedmont Chautauqua this afternoon
-upon the “taxing power of the govern-
' niQnL was a magnificent presentation of the
tafiiT issue from the Republican stand
point. He spoke about an hour aod com
manded the most earnest attention of his
audience, which was unusually large
A*d critical. His entire speech
showed that it had been well prepared, and
‘in Jts rendition McKinley was very effec
tive. He was frequently interrupted with
applause, particularly wheu he put him
self on record as being in favor of Amer-
J ica and her citizens against any other
country, or the citizens of any other
oountry.
A striking feature of his speech was
thpt while he discussed the great
issue between the two parties, he
did not mention the name
of- either. He followed his theme
closely without using any bitterness or
sectionalism. He was loudly applauded
when he referred to the Let that the issue
was not one between the North and the
ijouth, but was an issue in which all of
thp States were equally interested.
At the conclusion of his address the
speaker, in a most feeling manner, referred
toAhe cordial treatment that he had re
ceived while here; he was glad, he said, be
•had come, and that when he returned he
whuld carry with him most pleasant
irecollections of his visit to Georgia. When
had finished, the applause that fol
lowed woke up the old red hills shout the
Chautauqua grounds, and there was agen-
ernl rush to the platform by hundreds of
(lie audience, who wished t» congratulate
him upon his effort and tha .k him for his
speech, and assure him that his visit to
Georgia was appreciated.
To-night at the Sweetwater Park Hotel
Mr. McKinley mixed with the
people and by his genial and easy manner
made many friends. He will return to
Atlanta to-morrow and leave in the
.evening for Washington. The general
•impression of those who heard him was
•that his speech was a remarkably strong
one, while some of his admirers go so far
as to say that his presentation of the issue
- is unanswerable.
MB. m’KINLEY’S SPEECH.
Mr. McKinley spoke in part as follows:
Fellow citizens: I make my acknowl
edgments to the Piedmont Society for the
courtesy and cordiality of its invitation,
jrkich has given mo the opportunity to
•meet for the first time an assemblage of
-the citizens of Georgia.
1 have come upon the suggestion of the
committee to address you upon a public
question of great national import, whi-.h
concerns not only the prosperity of one
section but of all sections ofonr common
country, and which is of commanding in-
. -terost to our sixty millions of people. It
■ia no new subject I propose to consider. It
is as old as governments by men. Taxa
tion with few exceptions has been the chief
and absorbing issue for more than a cen
tury of the republic.
The government was scarcely launched
before its discussion commanded the best
thought of the statesmen of the time, and
in varying degrees it has been prominently
before the public ever since. The different
-theories of taxation have an int- rest now
which they have never possessed before
'Public thought U -wckcucd „..d the citi
zen is investigating for himself. Frank
discussion and thoughtful consideration of
the two conflicting theories arc therefore
demanded in the present state of the pub-
Sic mind, as well as the condition of our
national treasury. IIow taxes aro to he
•Sjubed to support the government, and by
y|liat method can they be levied and col
lected as to hear most lightly upon the
people, and at the same time promote
rather than retard national prosperity, is
dbe scope of the theme which I propose to
discuss before you to-day.
-.There are some things upon which all
nrein accord, and which are so manifest
as to require no argument or amplification.
They are admitted facts. Among them are
that the United States must have sufficient
money to meet its current and ma'urinz
oblige ions; that the United States os a
political society is without assets, without
money, and has no income, except what it
secures by taxes collected from its people.
.It must collect its money, whatever may be
its . ctual requirements, either by direct
taxes or by duties upon import-. There
arc few people to be found in the country
who seriously favor the system of taxation
for governmental expenses, that is, taxing
their property, real and personal, their
-professions and employments. The Ameri
can sen-intent is practically unanimous in
f Ivor of raising a large share of the reve
nue for the government by levying duties
upoh foreign importations.
It.'requires nearly $35,000,000 every
year to meet the necessary wants of the
-public service, and there is general assent
to the proposition that the bulk of this
vast sum shall be raised from customs
sources. Up U this point there is sub-
substantial concurrence, and here indi
vidual and party sentiment divide, and I
believe hones ly divide, and to these lines
of division, and the principle upon which
they respectively rest, I invite your rc-
snectful consideration.
Free traters, so-callcJ. or, to be more
exact, the advocates of a revenue tariff,
believing with the other school of politi
cal economists that duties shall be levied
upon that class of foreign products which
ate not produced in the United Htatos, the
principle being that revenue is the sole
and only object of such tax tion, and that
a duty levied upon such foreign products
as have little or no home competition
will secure the largest revenue with the
smallest rate of duty. And this
ia altogether true, for whenever you
-can find a foreign article which the
people of this country require and which
of necessity they must import, any duty,
however low, indeed the very minimum,
will produce revenue; for'inasmuch as
there is no home produced article to con
tend for any part of the home market, im
portations will go on unchecked, and the
revenue derived therefrom will be only
limited by the extent of the importations
influenced hr the necessities of our people
-and their capacity to buy. An illustra
tion familiar to all of you arc the products
of tea and coffee. Neither of these great
staple.articles are produced in the United
States. The demands of our people for
these products, and they extend to every
home and fireside in the land, are supplied
from abroad. Now, any tax thereon, how
ever slight and insignificant, would pro
duce a very considerable revenue to the
government; and this illustrates what is
commonly understood as a “revenue
''^'however, the duty is levied upon the
foreign competing product, it is made so
low, having revenue only in view, that the
effect is to destroy home competition and
increase the revenue therefrom by increas-
ing importations.
A revenue tariff is, therefore, such a one
revenue from
as will produce the
the lowest duty. The lowest rate of duty
will encourage importations, diminish
home production ami inevitably increase
the revenue; it will of necessity check
competition at home and send our mer
chants abroad to buy; it affords no protec
tion, not even incidental, for the very in
stant you discover that such duty favors
the home producer, that instant you dis
cover that importations and revenue are
' 1, and that our own producers are
control the home market, or a part
of it. Then at once the advocate of a
revenue tariff reduces the duty, brings it
down to the true revenue standard; for it
must not be overlooked, according to that
free trade maxim, “where protection begins
revenue ends,” and the question of reve
nue is always controlling. A revenue tar-
ifl’ is inconsistent with protection; it is
intended for a wholly different purpose.
It loses its force and character as a genu
ine revenue tarifi when it becomes to any
extent protective. It li&s but one object.
It can have but one effect—that of open
ing up our market to the foreign producer
—impoverishing the home producer and
enriching his foreign rival.
The other theory ot taxation, and the
oae which I believe to be essential to
American development and national pros
perity, is based upon an exactly opposite
principle. It permits all articles of foreign
production, whether of the field, the fac
tory, or the mine, except luxuries only,
which we cannot produce in the United
States, to enter our ports free and unbur
dened by custom house exactions. The
duty is o be imposed upon the foreign
competing product, that is, the product
which, if brought into this country, would
cobtend with the products of our own soil,
our own labor, and our owu factories, in
our own markets. Under this system if
the foreign producer would enter our mar
ket with a competing product he must con
tribute (omething for the privilege which
he is to enjoy, and this something, in the
form of duties, goes into the treasury,
furnishing revenue to the government;
and these duties operate to protect the
joint product of labor and capital against
a like foreign product.
This mode of levying duties answers a
double purpose. It produces revenue to
the government, anu at the same time
fosters and eucourages the occupations of
our own people, promotes industrial devel
opment, opens up nc>v mines, builds new
factories, and sustains those aheady estab
lished, which in turn furnish employment
to labor at fair and remunerative wages.
A revenue tariff accouiplLiiex hut a single
purpose—thxt of raisi g revenue; it has
no other mission; while a protective tarifi
accomplishes this and more—it brings
revenue to the American treasury and
discriminates in favor of the American
c : tizen. A revenue tarifi' invites the pro
duct of foreign labor and foreign capital
to occupy our markets free and unre
strained in competition with the product
of our own labor a capital. A protective
tariff’ invites the product of foreign labor
and foreign capital which are necessary to
the wants of our people (which we cannot
produce in the United States)
to occupy our markets and
go untaxed to the people, bnt insists
that every foreign product which is pro
duced at home, or can be successfully, in
quantities capable of supplying the do
mestic consumption, shall, whenever nec
essary to maintain suitable rewards for
uiit tuber, bear a duty whicli shall not
be so high as to prohibit importations, but
at such a rate as will produco the neces
sary revenues and at the snme time not
destroy but eueourage American produc
tion. It says to the world of prod..cers:
“If you want to share with the citizens of
the United Stales their home market, you
must pay for the privilege of doing* it.
Your product shall not enter in free and
unrestrained competition with the pro
duct of our own people, but shall be dis
criminated against to such an extent as to
fully protec. and defend our own trade.”
It is alleged as a serious objection to
protective duties thi t the tax, whatever it
be, increases the cost ot the foreign
os well as the domestic product to
the extent of such tax or duty, and
that it is wholly paid by the con
sumer. This objrclion would be worthy
of serious consideration if it were true, hut,
as has been demonstra cd over and over
again, it is withont foundation in fact.
Wherever the foreign product has succes-
ful competition at home the duty is rarely
paid by the consumer. It is paid from the
profits of the manufacturer, or divided be
tween him and the merchant, or the im
porter, and diminishes their profits to that
extent. Duty or no duty, without home
competition the consumer would fare worse
than he fares now. There is not in the
long line of staple products consumed by
the people a single one which has not
been cheapened by competition at home,
made possible by protective duties. There
is not an article that enters into the every
day uses of the family which is produced
in’the Utited States that has not been
made cheaper and more accessible as the
result of home production and develop
ment, which was to be secured only by the
sturdy maintenance ol the protective sys
tem. While this is true of protective
tariffs, exactly the opposite is true of rev
enue tariffs. They are always paid by the
MMiimpr
The revenue tariff periods of our history
have been periods of greatest financial re
vulsions and industrial decadence, want
and poverty among the people,
private enterprises checked, and
public works retarded. From 1833
to 1842, under the low tariff legislation
then prevailing, business was at a stand
still, and our merchants and traders were
bankrupted; our industries were paralyzed,
our labor remained idle, and our capita!
was unemployed. Foreign products crowd
ed our markets, destroyed domestic compe
tition. and as invariably follows, the price
of commodities to consumers were appre
ciably raised. It is an instructive tact
tbst every panic this country has ever ex
perienced has been preceded by enormous
importations. From 1848 to 1881 a aimi
Ur situation was presented under the low
Uriff of that period.
Contrast this period with the period
from 1880 to 1880, the former under a reve
nue tariff, the latter under a protective
tariff. In 1880 we hid 183,000,000 acres o(
improved land, while in 1880 we had 287,-
000,000, an increase of 76 per cent. In 1880
our (arms were valued at $3,200,000,000.
In 1880 the value had leaped to $10,197,-
000,000, an increase of over 3000 per cent.
In 1860 wo raised 173,000,000 bushels of
wheat; in 1880 108.000,000. In
1800 we raised 838.000,090 bushels of corn;
in 1880 1,717,000,000 bushels. In 1860 we
produced 5,000,000 hales of cotton; in 1880
7,000,000 bales, an increase of 40 per cent.
In 1880 we manufactured cotton goods to
the value of $116,681,774; in 1880 the
value reached $211,000,000, an increase of
upwards of 80 per cent. In 1800 we man
ufactured of woolen goods $81,000,000; in
1880 $267,000,000, an increase of 333 per
cent. In 1860 we produced 00,000,000
poundsof wool; in 1880240,000,000 pounds,
an increase of nearly 300 per cent. In
1860 we mined 15,000,000 tons ol coal; in
1880 79,000,000, an increase of over 400
per cent. In 1860 we made 987,000 tons
of pig iron; in 1880 3,835,000 tons. In
1860 we manufactured 235,000 tons of
railroad iron and in 1880 1,208,000 tons.
In 1860 our aggregate of national wealth
was $10,159,000,000; in 1880 it was $43,-
000,000,000. AA
From 1848 to 1860, during the lowQnff
period, there was but a single year in
which we exported in excess ot what wo
imported. The balance of trade during
the twelve of tho thirteen years was
against us. Our people were drained of
their money to pay for foreign purchases.
We gent abroad over anu above our salesj
$396,210,161. This vast sum was drawn
from the United States, from its business,
from the dliannels of trade, which would
have been better employed in productive
enterprises and thus supplied our wants
for which we were compelled to go abroad.
During the laFt thirteen years, under n
protective tariff, there was hut one year
that the balance of trade was against us.
For twelve years we sold to our foreign
customers in exces of what we bought
from them the sum of $1,012,659,755.
This contrast makes au interesting ex'
Mbit of the work under the two systems.
You need not be told that the govern ment
and the people are most prosperous whose
balance of trade is in their favor. The
government is like the citizen, indeed, it
it is but an aggregation of citizens; and
when the citizen Buys more than he sells,
he is soon conscious that his year’s busi
ness has not been a success.
The .Vouth has shared in this splendid
progress, in this golden period of develop
ment. i
From 1851 to lfcfiO the average yearly
irodnetion of pig iron throughout the
Jnited States was less than 800,000 tons.
In 1886 the States of Alabama, Tennessee,
Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Geor
gia, Maryland, Texas and North Carolina
produced 875,179 net tons, or 75,000 more
than the whole annual out-put of the
United States under the free trade period.
The eight years last past have brought
to the South wonderful progress. You had
in 1880 19,435 miles of iailroad; you have
now 36,737 miles, and this is increasing.
You raised in 1880 5,755,350 hales of cot
ton; in 1888 you raised 6,800,000 bales.
In 1880 you raised 431,074,630 bushels of
•rain, and in 1887 you raised 626,305,000
jushels. In 1880 you had live stock
amounting in value to $301,312,254; it is
ii'iw valued :it $573,liPo,550. The value
of your agricultural products in I860
was $571,008,454; in 1887 H&bM
reached $742,066,460. In 1880 yoti'qiro-
duced 397,301 tons of pig iron; in 1887
yo l produced 920,436 tons, and I am as
sured upon the best authority that it is
upward of a million now. You mined in
1*80 6,049,471 tons of coal; in 1887,16,-
476,786 tons. You had in 1880 179 cotton
mills; you have got to-day 800, and they
are increasing. The number of your spin
dles in 1880 was 713,989; they are to-day
1,495,145. Thenumberof your looms in
1880 was 15,222; they are over 34,000 now.
The value ol cotton goods in 1880, which
you produced, was $21,000,000; In 1887 R
"was ‘over $43,000,000. And yet in the
presence of such progress it is seriously
proposed to reverse the policy under which
it has been made.
Surely a new era of industrial develop
meet has come to the South. Nothing
should be permitted to check or retard it.
To her nature has been most prodigal with
her gilts. Her hills and valleys have been
made the storehouses of richest treasu.c.
Coal and iron mines wait impatiently the
touch of labor and capital, and tempt
both with promise of lavish profit.
We are gravely told by the tariff re
formers that we cadnot reach foreign mar
kets on account of the high tariff' on the
raw material, when, in fact, for foreign
trade, foreign raw materials are practically
free. This principle was recognized as
early as the administration of George
Washington, and has been enlarged and
made applicable to all imported materials,
the drawbacks vatying from 90 to 100 per
| What became then of the cry for
Republic. We have g)t no pampered
class in this countiy, and we want none.
We want the field kept open. No narrow
ing of the avenues; no lowering of our
standaid. We want no barriers raised
against a higher and better civilization.
The gate-way of opportunity must be open
to all, to tho end that they may be first
who deserve to be first, whether bora in
poverty or reared in luxury. We do not
want the masses excluded from competing
for the first rank among their countrymen
and for the nation’s greatest honors, and
wc do not mean they shall be.
We are different from any other nation,
and it is that difference which makes us
the best. Our political system rests upon
a principle different from thntof any other.
It is founded upon tho consent of the peo
ple. If we had wanted it otherwise we
would not have left home, hut would have
remained the obedient child of an imperi
ous parent. We would not have turned
away from the mother country. We would
have remained one of her dependencies.
We would not have fought our way
through blood and sacrifico to independ
ence. We separated to set up for ourselves
a free and independent political society,
and that policy is the best for us which
best subserves tho purposes of our organi
zation, our citizenship and civilization. It
is ours to work out our own destiny, and
in doing so furnish au example of a free
and progressive people, whose industrial
policy has made it possible to satisfy the
best an 1 highest aspirations of men, aud
which closes no field to human en
deavor. We would wish for all mankind
the beneficence of our system and the op
portunities which it presents. We hid
them level their condition up to ours; we
will not level ours down to theirs. Wc will
remove nil restrictions from international
trade as we have removed all restrictions
from inter-State trade whenever they will
raise their labor and their conditions to
our staodard.
Men of Georgia, upon this great induB-
trial question there should be no North or
South. To us of every section have been
entrusted the interests of our country—
our whole country. To others have been
confided the care of other nations and
other peoples. We will not interfere with
them; we bid them not interfere with us.
My fellow citizens, in this conflict, infim
enced by patriotism, national interest,
and uational pride, let us be Americans.

fact. The truih is, we are not so much
concerned about the foreign market as we
ave about the home market. The latter is
the best, and we have not yet been able to
control it, and until we do, that should be
our chief concern. Aut if any of our peo
ple are sighing for a foreign market and

Toledo, Augost 21. Congressman B. F.
Shively, of Indiana, J. R. Whltiug, of Micbi
gan, and W. II. Hatch, of Missouri, joined
the Thurman party at this place this morn
ing. As soon us the purty could be brought

cored and all were carried to the wharf and
embarked for a trip up the Detroit river.
They dined at the GrataePointclubhouse,
and from there the party will be carried on
by enty ■ tngcB to Port Huron, probably
•pending the night at the Oakland House.
Iu closing bis speech feet night, Mr. Thur
man said: “How cun it be that you can be
made rich by Uncle Sam thrusting his hands
iu your pockets and taking from you far
more than is necessary for the support of the
government? But has it done so? Wh
my 'rieud., let mo tell you one simp
fact. According to the very last accounts
that I have seen of the state of the treasury
of the United States, thereare now $116,000,-
000 locked up in that treasury, surplus rev
enue »» it i« called; that ii, money that the
government has taken from the pockets of
the people beyond the amount that the
government needed for its expenditures;
$115,000,000 lying perfectly idle, doing
no human being one particle of good, when,
if ft were in the pockets of the people, where
it belongs, it conld be used by them in their
business, and for other necessities which
would make thousands andtens.il thousands
comfortable who are now in drilitutiun and
want. [Applause.] But it’s time for me to
stop. 1 am to he followei by a gentle
man whom I commend to your earnest
and careful attention, u gentleman whn
represents the Columbus district iu the Con
gress of the United States, and who, from
the first day that be set foot in the House of
Representatives to this day has grown in in
fluences, grown in reputation and grown
more and more deserving of the kind regard
and summit ol his fellowmen. The gentle
man whom I have the pleasure of present
ing is Hon. Jos. P. Outhwaite, of Columbus.
(Applause.) And now, gentlemen, I thunk
you for your kind attention. 1 am glad ol
the opportnoitv to meet with you aud am
truly grateful for your kindly manifestations
towards me. (Great applauae.)
