tariff if efale ale the senate comptom compromise ise tariff bill is ia exacts exactly y what the missouri compromise was a check to f tho i industrial n d u slavery of protection N neither e i t her that nor this was what the tha country demanded that sustained nobody nor does this it is surrender to the trusts as that was waa to the slave hol holders d ers from the point of view of justice and right but that was a point gained for freedom and so EO is this the trusts have lave for twenty years under republican domination held the ibe people by the throat that they bull A surrender their grip without fielt ting and at the first demand has been generally beli believed tved but the people have had bad their eyes opened to the fact that they ii will ill not that they have offered ered a compromise which ba has been accepted by by a democratic administration having ha ving only courty four votes in a senate of eighty eight in members embers as the best it C could so do with the power it had is a victory anti a great victory to fo the minds minda of those barid having a proper conception of the situation tho missouri compromise was no vic tory to tho the abolitionist this will be no victory to the free trader but this is ie not only the best thai that could be obtained with v a senate evenly divided but far more than abari was expected or anten ed and it will kill protection within ten api ta ugh protection blu r RW r i I 1 the tru trusts ts bom bought b t fou four r denio y cratic votes in the senate which added to the republican votes gave rave the trusts absolute control of the senate each republican senator is a slave of the trusts wearing n a trust collar and the trusts eliav hav ing bought the four democrats lo 10 looked aked on with languid 0 amusement at the democrats trying to cut down or stop protection robbery the forty democrats in the minority finding they could not pass the tha wilson bill pre prepared pared such a bill as would get the votes voces of the four purchased senators and the latter agreed to a compromise bill they believed the house would riot not accept it was a trick intended to blind the people to their purchase so by the trusts to continue the mc ile killoy bill in force if they had had the faintest expectation that the house would accept it they would not have voted for it the intention was to have tho the disagree and thus l leep keep the mckinley act in force so confident were the trusts republican slaves and aad democratic hired men that the tha house woud be governed by principle and not policy I 1 that they made many con bonesio concessions esio lis that would look good when tile the disa disagreement c came anie they granted free wool a fatal concession to protection if the bill should pass pads the senate 91 compromise bill was a bluff and the house called it instead of bluffing in 0 higher hiff her the action of the house i in n accepting in the senate WN bill when it became becan iii al apparent parent that the trusts bad put iu it up to be rejected lias has utterly demoralized zed the trusts for the timo tima being beian As soon as acceptance of it was hinted at frantic efforts were made by the trust senators Se natora to get control of the bill to z get it back to the senate their republican slaves in the house tried to help them and failed the trusts were caught it was sharp political practice and policy riot not the best that could be done for nothing could be done the trusts did not want done but the overconfidence of tho tha trusts was seized upon and they were outwitted I 1 do not believe iu iti compromises compromise I 1 prefer to livo live under mckinley bills until the ilia people revolt I 1 believe that protection would have bavo been killed more quickly if the house had bad rejected evory every senate amendment and appealed to the country but the free wool claudo will kill it i i within the next ten years the strength of protection has be been in it the farm farin vote free will prove drove to tho the republican farmer that ahat lie ho has bas been bun bull coed as free sugar has pir proven even to liim him thattie that the foreigner
