| Show A PAIE FAIR or OF BOOTS A speaker at the hie republican city co convention boasted that he be had paid p a id eight dollars for a pair of homemade home made boots rather than pay four dollars for as good a pair of imported boots he said this ivas good tl republican doctrine B by y his own statement he be was four dollars poorer than if he had it is not likely that the he b ot would have stood still and starved had he not got this chance to aaker boots adnia ih thac would still have earned something ka had he be not made the boots and remembering mem bering 0 that he be must his imported materials out of which to make the boots arill and it will be seen that it is a most liberal estimate to place what he earned in making the boots at two dollars more than lie would have earned had be not make the boots it therefore appears that it is is good republican doctrine that one man should lose four dollars in order that another might gain two dollars Is not this ibis a waste and loss of two dollars we ive do not object to this g gentle mans wasteful philanthropy with his bis own money but when lie tries by law to make other people do what be felloes helloes does by reason of a weak judgment 0 his misguided head bead should be set aright |
