Sound the Warning. this Matter should he well
understood
Err a.

Of a tariff as The late Act Of Congress has provided-
and mat they 'oiSh il TO be permanently continued
That they consider it indispensable to their ndivid-
0al and collective interest, and that so long as our
standard ofpay for labor is higher than that of for
eign COUNTRIES so long will it be the only measure
that can he adopted 10 protect our produc,ye-labor
population from being reduced to The condition of
the class in foreign countries or secure to our
native enterprise and capital chance of successful
employment. And further-that, in view of the rel
alive condition OF ours 10 foreign countries. the
only proper way 10 raise money for the support Of
The General Government is, to tax foreign products
and merchandise (as other countries do by us and
each other) for the privilege and advantage of en-
ioying our market for its sale.
1t Is not ncedul here to discuss the merits o
these points, any more than it is needfu to discuss
whether or not 1t is best TO have sunshine and show
ers for the benefit Of vegetation. OGe is as clearly
selievdent as the other. Our present object is TO
show from the speeches of leading men, and para
graphs OF leading papers, in the service ofthe oppo-
sltlon that 1t is the settled and aUO,oed principle oloco
OcotSm 10 repeal The tariff, resort to tao on The people
to support government and introduce perfect svste,
0fJree trade taration hard money su5tyeasurv cr-
Periments the moment they get strength enough in
Congress to do il, be that time sooner or later. 1t
would seem sufficient to rouse the utmost anxiety
of every friend of the tariff to barely announce the
fact accompanied with suitable proof that il was
seriously contemplated to repeal it, and DESTROY
once again the glmmering hopes inspired by lis in
sn'uilon And what better proof of the sentiments
Of any associated body of individuals does the world
afford, than the expositions given by the acknowl-
edged leaders and patriarchs Of that association!
And II from such sources it can be shown that the
locos intend to do as we have said will it not be
taken as proof enough and induce suitable interest
among the Wings to lead them to nterpose the COM
petent power in their hands to prevent the disaster
VIII 1t not COMPEL them TO the polls under the pains
and penalties OF national and individual distress
We beg of the Wings in this State to open their
ewes to the Importance Of securing Protective ma
jority in the next Congress The time of holding
the election is near at hand, and Vermont can ONLY
send four voices in its favor even though the Wings
elect the whole delegation
ErtrdctS from Loco Foco Speeches in CONGRESS-
We commence by introducing Nh John C. Cal
houn Senator from South Carolina loco foco chief
aud their probable candidate for the next Presden-
cy In his last speech on the tariff he says:
81 have not spoken with view to change any
vote here an angel from heaven could not affect
the actions or opinions of those here. But conide
in the strength and ultimate triumph of ruth We
no,o zoe The trh0le democratic party rallied under
the Janrss Of Free Trade!"
Mark the words. Not "judicious tariff" nor
esafia for revenue" nor for even "incidental for
more properly accidental protection" but "the whole
party are rallied under the banner of Free Trade"
Is there meaning in this, or not?
Mr. Smith ofVirginia next takes tho stand. After
giving his views of several methods by which Gov
eminent nigh collect revenue he came out decided
ly for
"A general system of Free Trade and Internal
Taxation" Debate reported in Nat. Inteigencer
See nonslaveholder's manifestation Of loco de-
mocracy, in the person of Mr.. Reynolds of Illinois,
"He concluded his speech by predicting what
would be the result of a democratic administration;
Free Trade, and metallic currency. Congress
sional debate, July 9th 1912
Next, hear Mr., Kennedy OF Indiana, another such
as Mr.. Reynolds.
Sir, have no patience with those who advocate
the doctrine Of protective tariff could sit by and
hear men discuss the ways and means for picking
my pockets with as much patience / can sit by
and hear this monsrous scheme of protection de-
vised." Extract from Mr.. KS speech in Congress
on the new tariff bill, delivered June 81, 1912
Mr.. Roosevelt of N. Y. is still less patient than
his Indiana accomplice. He would crush the tariff
at once-at the next Congress
"ln the course Of the debate on July 10, he said
he trusted even if the tariff bill became law at this
session, ii would be shortlived, and that the next
Congress would be democratic Free Trade Con-
gress, which would repeal the bill"
MIR. r. r. Dapis, also from N. Y in a speech
said 81 am free trade loco-ioco"
Next, Mr.. Wright, OF the same state-,he man TO
whom the ocos point the saviour of the tariff be-
cause he voted for the bill, and from which circum
stance their despsabe, assembling presses in this
State are aboring to pacify the fears of loco tariff
men, and shuttle over the matter so as to secure
their votes for anti-protection Congressman in the
coming election-that very man said in his last
words before giving that very oote;
~ separate with great reluctance from nv politi-
cal friends on this question. Many dear friends have
sought to convince me that was in error on this
point but no one has urged to vote for the bill
LIST the appeal Of Mr.. Richie to the only two
loco senators who voted for the BILL be remembered.
" We shall never rest satisfied until this bill of n
nominations Is expunged from the statute book. and
we shall count upon Messrs. buchanan and Vr,obt
to cooperate with and take the cross upon their
own shoulders. Repeal--repeal is noo the word. y
