Now, gentlemen, there has been considerable
said on the question of the tariff, and there is an
attempt To lead The wOrklngmcn to vOie the Re-
publican ticket upon the ground thit if there is

OF waves, and they justify raising more than
800 100000 more than is necessary by taxation
in orler To save protection | All opposed to all
that, and the rs umptiOn is no, tru'. | have
stated the matter precisely in my letter, but
want to state il again to you wOkingmen. A
tariff or any other lax coming directly out of Il t

takes 10 tax you more than that, he simply robs
you under the promise of law, and having got
the money badly, he spends it badly. All needed
protection to American industries, all needed
protection TO American labor, cIn be had under
such an ec)nOnc revenue tariff.
The tariff was made for war PURPOSES in war
times and as war tax, and il ought 10 have
