The Patriot insists that wool rs fine as our own
can he imported and sod in our own markets for
n hare Irtle. How, then, can our wool-growers
he protected, short OF pOhiDIory duties or ut least
yer, high protective duties? Yet that paper, with
ia candIdule, Mr.. Dillingham;, repudIalrs prohibit
ZION aud high protective duties !! Now II the
res Of The Patriot and The Boston CuliivaIor, aud
5. w. Jewett, are trut, then nothing on earth can
save The wool-grOwers hut The Wing policy OF
protective duties. Remember II, wool growers of
The fourth district, aud send IA man 10 Congress

has swept state after state, aud is now boastng il
sell of victories apparently very magnificent. Yet
the aggregate locOfoco vote is less than in 1910
when the Wings overpowered that pnriy so as.
ionlshingly. Why is this? 1t is simply because
the Wings have in some states been weakened by
divisions, and in others defeated through Their
own neglect. Let not Vermont be added 10 eth.

fact ? This fund cannot for ages be available for
the purpose of education, by the terms OF the law ;
not unliI generation after generation has passed
away TO the Tomb But il is sad that the Income

True it may he--but only 10y violation al the act

thus, why not cancel it at once, aud leave future
generations to do as we dO-to educate them
