PREAMBLE
II ever there was time when every True
citizen, of whatever Democrat, Repuh-
fcan, a'r Wing, was called upon to resist The
encroachmenls Of despotism--arresl the pro-
the present. Two years ago while our couu-
Try was just beginning to realize the wholesome
and invlgorating Influences of the American
policy, secured by The triumphant struggle Of
1910, while one great portion Of fhe American
people, were nobly striving 10 place al The head
of The administration the well known champion
OF that policy; whose open frank, aud uniform

and IN one state particularly, noIorIuu>Iy upheld
the opposing candidate, as being in favor of the
same protective system of policy; covered in

We have seen the great measure of our na-
lional prospery-The Protective Tariff; un-
der various promises of the preservation of
which, Pennsylvania was basey cheated of her
vote, now since the object of the chea, is at
tanned, struck down by the very power, which
her deirauded vole was necessary to create, and
that TOO, unasked for by the people themselves;
but 10 pander 10 The overbearing dic,ators and
visionary theorists of the South. And finally
after all the representatives in Congress, with
one exception, stood by the vital interests of
Pennsylvania, and the plighled faith on which
she reposed, and since the very man coupled
with Polk, as pledge that the protective poI.-
cy (wllh which his former course had been
idenlifed) would not be abandoned, has been
the one to strike the last blow, to the destIuc-
lion Of that great National Edlfce, the proec-
tive policy, we are now unblushingy told by
the few would-be political leaders, who reck-
lessly uphold the cheat, that the people wed
it so, while they are calling upon them TO sane

course their betrayers have pursued. There
