Democrats in power they win Increase tho
army; and with the solid South at their back,
what would hinder them, without the cUpen-
diture of q single dollar from going into Re
publican states, and maintaining their SUE
prcmacy by forCC2 I say above board, that
the man who advocates force 60 obtain power
will use force to maintain that power. When
we are emerging from bnrburism into civililo-
tiou, thC wOrEinEmCn and not the soldiers are
coming into power. The great maloriE pf
have always been I'm favor Of the lobCr-
ing man, although not as a demaEOguc. /
have frequently said that the rich ana the
powerful can protect themselves, and that a.
Is the part of Government to protect the labor
ing man and the humble.
How are you going tD do that. By making
war ON the tarnr There are two ways OF col
lectiug rcvonuc-by internal tayes and bv
tariff on foreign goods. by the latter sys-
tenn you can get clear Of the corrupt ma
ChInery Of an internal tax; and by tariff
the poor man can escape taxation, as he need
not buy foreign made goods unless he wants
20. But under an internal revenue system,
the rich can largely avoid taxation by hiding
away their property. Therefore, ] have all
my life been i'm favor of protective tariff
Arc you i'm favor eff a tariff that will prevent
the oppressed of Europe from coming over
horc and sharing your prosperity? Not at
all. You are in favor OF them coming over
mines, make machinery aud build railroads.
God speed them. But have always been OPP
posed to American labor being brought into
competition with the pauper labor Of dgs.
potc Europe.
That is the difference between the Demo-
cratic and Republican party. We are for pro-

These arc the principal issues in the cam
