fpf the wootgfowers, the present discourag-

measure due to tho mismanagement of the

All national questions nre more or less In

we find that our tariff question Is no exdUp-

which ihiniediately pfeceded the Sstabish-

est prosperity which this people have ever
enjoyed since the establishment of tho pres
ent Constitution, it would be exactly that
period of seven years which Immediately
followed the passage of the tariff of 1924"
Adyancing still further In our eouutfy's
history; aiiow me to quote from Il represen-
tative Republican of the highest type and
broadest national intelligence. Hon. James
q. Blaine; In his letter accepting the nomina-
tion for the Presidency, states that from the
1880, embracing perl6d OF mora thin $50
years, the aggregate wealth of the United
states amounted to fourteen billions of dol
lnrs; ana though the population of the coun-
try IN increased but sixty per cent. from 1850
10 ,., isso the aggregate property of the country
increased "a per cent US the direct result Of
hat of
rlcultural Interest is by far the largest in the
Nation and is omitted, in every Rdjustmento of
adds any policy hostile to the fullest de.
velopment of agriculture in the United States
must be abandoned.
VIII also compare the platforms OF tho
two, great political parties. From the Re-
publican quote Us follows: 1--WE therefore
demand that the imposition of duties on for
only, but Tint ih faisliig the rtuiisite reye-
hues Tor the Government such duties shall
De SO levied as to afford security to our d.
tion to the rights and wages of the laborer,
10 the end that active and intelligent labor,
as Us weli M as capital, may have its just reward
tional prosperity The Republican platform
also also says: We recognize the Importance OF
sagsephads6andry sa,snp,5 In the United States the
encing and the danger threatening its future
prosperity; and We therefore Respect the
portant agricultural Interest for a readiust-
me nent OF duty upon foreign woods in order
that that such Industry shall have full and ade-
:. Frotp the Democratic platform: .sKuow.

mands the Democratic party is pledged to |

Iceted without depriving American labor OF
ne ability to compete successfully with
foreign labor, and without imposing lower
,ates OF dnty than viii beample to cover any
,Nist IN consequence OF higher rates OF
SmMges prevailing In this country"
Ihese last planks seem to me somewhat
ielped to make them that we need to have
10 fears, and that In the wool-growing dis
