TIE WIG TARIFF IN PENNSYL-
WANNA.
There is no State in the Union whose in
trrcsis would be m,re sensible affected by
the success Of the Locofoco party at the APP
pronchins Presidential election, and the con-
segment repeal of the Wing Tariff Act of
| 1912, thln the State Of PENNSYLVANIA
Aware Of this. those whose love of Office is
greater than their love for the ;"to,"s's of
their State and the country, omit not to claim
as the friend Of the Protective Tariff of 1912
James X. Polk; who, when a candidate for
the Executive chair of Tennessee, openly
J declared his abhorren:e of the Protective
feature of tina, act.
Light, however, in spite of the cxcr,ions
fparIy leaders, will and does occasionally
break in upon the masses and we are pleas
ed that in Pcnnsylvanil the people are be-
coming acquainted with the true state of the
case, and manifest disposition to adhere to
their principles instead of,heir party.
A meeting was held in Dickinson town
ship, Cumberland county Penn, on the 2O,h
u|t., by men who are amongst the most pro-
mnent and Influential of the Locofoco party.
After declaring their adherence TO the
Tariff &C, of 1912, and that its repeal OF
modification for the purpose of changing its
protective features would be regarded BY
them as ant act Of hostility to all the great in
lcresis of Pennsylvania, they proceed to as
sign the reasons why they are dissatisfied
with Mr. Folks letter to Mr.. Kane of Phila-
delpLia
Isl. Because Mr. Polk declares in his letter
to Mr.. Kane, "that he is opposed to tariff fo
; protection merely and not for revenue" This
