l motifs with alarm that many NV

baWlin for free trade, and that when
it is necessary for US to carry Penn

ty-four weery yeers, and that is the
only thing to consider. The pint is
to beet the Republican party, and
wrest from their keep so long, and
put ourselves into them for four
years anyhow.
To do this we must hev votes, and
to get votes we must accommodate
ourselves to the wishes of the indi.
vidoOal voter. Eff it wuz practicable
we should have platform in Penn
sylVania witch wood declare for high
protective tariff, and another for Hi
nOy Wich wood be free trade--that is
eff we diskivered that IIlinoy wanted
Free Trade. But inesmuch ez the
people NV Pennsylyany read Illinoy
DimOcratlc papers. and vice versa,
that wOOdn't answer and likewise it
wood be ruther renchin Gu a Dino
cratic speaker who he'd been howlin
fur Free Trade in Illinoy to howl
ekallv fur Protection in Pennsylya-
ny. We must be ak0Ot enuff to make
a platform on wich all kin stand, and
wich all kin be satisfied with, and
witch covers all sides NV the whole
ground.
That platform is simply one de-
mandin sternly Tariff for Revenue.
A Tariff tor Revenue means sothin,
or nothin, jist ez you are mind TO
to t4ke it. 1t is a convertible ice.
In Pennsylvany it kin be explained
and rite here l want to say that a
platform amt with 500 m0rkee for
our purposes which don't hey TO be
explained, then 700 kin explain it
in any way 700 choose, and kin make
it SCOT all attitudes and longitoods.
For instarc &c. "a Tariff for Revenue"
wood he explained in Pennsylvany
to mean pcrtpck shun nv the most
perteckineSt kind. one wood give
every workman big wages and plenty
NV work.
In Illinoy, on the other hand. it
wood he explained ez meanin a re-
duckshin NV the tariff to jist the bare
pint NV Detvidin revenoo for the Gov
eminent, practically free trade, wich
is to say ez near free trade ez it wood
be safe to go under eggistin circum-
stances.
In mixed deestriks wher the senti-
ment is about ekally balanced it
would be explained ez meanin war
upon monopolies-that bein alluz a
safe cry, jist the same as reform.
WITCH is to say, in protective States
the platform wood be twisted over to
protection, with a howl for reform,
candidly admittin that the tariff
shood be lowered on all the artikles
witch that seckshun don't perdoose.
In seckshuns where the sentiment
runs to free trade it wood mean tariff
reform, with q leanin to absloot free
trade, In both seckshuns we shood
