In years gone by, when trade was
prosperous, work and wages good
people rejoicing and tramps unknown,
all was attributed to the blessed Re-
publican tariff that afforded blessed
"prOtectiOn to American industry"
The same blessed, or blasted tariff is
still in existence, but good times and
good wages have largely disappeared,
and don't seem inclined or likely to
return, all at once. When will people
learn to know that justice is the only
safe rule, and when one set of men
get more, others get less ? What right
has government TO favor some citizens
and rob others p Stark Co. Dem.
