and the adoption of a TARlFF FOR
REVENUE ONLY"
How can Chalmers summon the
hardihood to compliment, in the
most extravagant terms, the men
who have thus spoken ohtheir con
Giatent and tenacious adherence soi
the principles they profess, and AZ
the Same time ask them to'support
him in opposition to every ons of|
there emphatic declarations ofI
principle.
It is plain case. The men who
put forth these determined utteran-
Ces immediate their consistency and
abandor their principles when
tle support the man who says be-
is willing to continue he high tariff
for any purpose whatever.
/ The entire South and West, in
the name Of simple, impartial jus
tice-justice that has SO long been
bIed by the red and ruthless hand
oil Radicalisn, demand that this
odi0us monster which lays its hor,
rid clutches on the crippled indus-
tries Of the crushed, impoverished
South and the infant industries Of
the young West, and wrings mil
} lions Of money from the unwilling
. hand of the toiling farmer, whose
struggle is not for wealth, but a
competency,and whose fear is, not
OF inelegant Toll, but positive want
to store away In the teeming vaults
Of the opuI ent North and East, be
stricken down and cast out of the
land,
The only thing that is urged
against Col. Manning on this issue
ia, that he, and his anti-protectior
associates are in the minority and
that they have heretofore. for thia
reason, been unable to accomplish
all they have undertaken in behali
!. oftheir oppressed people.
Is the voice Of justice to be sti'
y fed by the cry that her advocate;
3 are yet taw? Ia the tariff op position
q to be strengthened and the tariff re
+ form accomplished by electiug pro
! lection Independents to Congress
9 over the heads of 'anti-protectior
= Democrats, because, forsooth, there
II be some protection Democrats il
J. that body? There are some protec
$ ton Democrats in Congress, 1t Is
q true; and Col. Manning does no
3 promise TO accomplish tariff reform
o alone, But one thing we know
y that there will be one snti-protoc
y tiouist more and one protec0oBiS
.. less in congress If Manning Is cleo
+, ted, than there will be if Chalmer
Il is elected. Another thing W
Ie know,-tAat the South and West
" unitod, are stronger than the E2s
(this was demonstrated by tho re
70 cent vote on the river and : tharbo

st know,-that the fact that there ar
ut some Democrats who favor a hig
10 tariff is not an argument against a
re. anti.protection Democrat-muc
90 less IS it an argument in favor Of
n protection Independent. Willth
