THE TARIFF AND THE LABoRER.
9. Labor IN Europe is everywhere from one and a
half to three times cheaper than here The consequence
Is that cannot compete with that kind Of labor unless
we reduce labor TO the same level The Republican
party is willing to do that The aborer in this coun-
Try Il part OF the governing power. He is voter He
has a voice in the Government Aside therefore, from
all humanitarian reasons, want him to have chance

comfortable We want him TO be able to take care OF ms
family aud educate mis- children We want MIN to gather
knowledge and be good citizen, love MS c oi

II not go into the markets OF the world without
being subjected 10 unjust and degrading competition
We will make ourselves independent OF those markets by
| making markets OF our own Instead OF senulhg our
cotton the ocean 10 De there riured

We Will mine our own coal, develop our own materials
manufacture own iron aud steel build our own rail-
roads. with our own products and thus nave

been the policy OF the Republican party in the past
We intend continue 1t Ia the future. The wisdom OF

material prosperity OF the country las been sucn ths

their fathers that they for free trade. and that was
what their resolution meant The verdict OF the people
that they did not want any more free trade since
then Democratic friends have been trying TO better
