will prove of little value because bebau e of the general confidence in the safe and conservative character of both candidates the average voter knows that free trade is impossible in this country for

nio me to demand that I 1 should meet them in the same spirit ind and act with them their ns As long ion as they maintain that high st standard of policy and of administration it is the more easy to do FO because the republican party securing its return to power four years continued on page continued from first page pae ago by promising to preserve pre servo matters ay as they were at once embarked upon what I 1 regard in as a reckless arid and revolutionary policy even overturning all the safeguards of legislation lat ion in the house of representatives in ill their haste to pass file force bill and the ho MeKin mckinley lev bill both to my mind null and unwise nica measures the opposition to ilia force bill is not only su sure re to create fir far 9 greater renter evils than it could cure but is as also subversive of the rights of the states stales lias has become fo f 0 earnest and widespread that it is said to have been abandoned but it must not be for forgotten otten that only two years ago such a ineas was warmly advocated by president harrison Ha irigon earnestly supported by the republican party and very narrowly escaped beco becoming g a law there is no pretence predence pre tence however that the mckinley hill HII is ig abandoned 0 11 ed on the contrary our express approval of it is id demanded no doubt that flint bill which I 1 cannot but think was was an uncalled for disturbance tur bance of tile the then thell existing darid greatly benefited a few in but certainly it really oppressed many others of the protected industries themselves many I 1 ere then its as now in far morn more urgent C need of free raw materials than of hi gier protection but with raw m materials ate rials on oil tw tile free list tile the bill could not have passed for those having n such auch materials ma for bale controlled t enough C votes to defeat it and they were very likely to tn do 10 so if their bounties discontinuous were ivere the manufacturers needing 0 free raw materials were therefore obliged 0 to join in the objectionable processes of increasing prices by restricting production thus illus addino adding to thu the number of trusts by which the price of the necessaries of life is placed at the mercy of unlawful combinations of capital it is not surprising that labor belic believing ying itself to be oppressed soon rose ili in revolt and civil war has actually raged this summer in four different din erent sections of tile the country and of course the farmers paying mora for what they buy and getting less ices for what they sell grow poorer day by day and excellent faring barnis in sonic some of the most fertile sections of tins this most protected state will hardly bri bring n 9 the th cost of the buildings lu illing 0 upon them but the lie economic evils however great of the INIc mckinley Kinley bill and the unreasonable system of protection it represents represent are of far less import tu my ill minn than the moral evils which folio y artt ft ea in deciding for what purposes the masses of the people may properly be taxed it must not be fora forgotten otten that taxes have a wonderful wonderful 1 capacity for filtering through 11 all intervening g obstacles till they reach the bowed back of toil and rest there and therefore the giving of bounties under any form of taxation is is illa mainly illy the 0 giving villI anav away of the wages vies vi 0 es of labor the sad truth that the curse of the floor is their poverty is illustrated illustrato tl in nothing I 1 more clearly than in the undue share they of the

does the farmer who grows corn in indiana to pay a bounty lount y to tile the farmer farr ner who produces C cane ane sugar suar 0 in louisiana or to require the farmer who grows gow wheat in
