OF the Democratic party fayoring
putting what is improperly called raw

the restoration of the wool tariff of 1851,

ever offered to sheep husbandry in the
United States; that the Republican party

pressed, giving to it homesteads in public
domain and supporting schools at public
expense for the children OF all classes, rec
