been the most oatsposen ia his advocacy
of.not only the present high taxation. but.
in some respects. an increase Of it. He
has gcne even further in that direction
than his own party in the Senate are will
ing to follow him. Mr.. Tucker on that
issue takes exactly the opposite ground.
Mr.. lost believes that with high tariff
taxation, will eventually come work for
worknen and home market for farm
products. And this, notwithstanding
twenty-six years of experience of it has
given neither. MIR. Tucker believes that
the tariff taxation should be lowered at
once; that free raw material will give our
workmen equal advantage with European
manufacturers. that that advantage will
result IN our manufacturing for the world
outside, with plenty of work for our PEG
pie, new manufactures started up and
home market for our farm products. To
sustain his position. Mr.. Tucker has the
opinions of all Democratic statesmen
whose lives have covered the low tariff tax
era, reinforced by the opinions of James
A. G Garfield, James e. Blaine, Secretary
Mccullough, Carl ShultZ, and other distin-
guished Republican statesmen. In addi-
ton, Mr.. Tucker has, to sustain his posi-
tion, the state of affairs right at his own
home where there were tWenty-one man.
ufactures during low tariff, not one of
which now exists under High Tariff.
La addition yet to that, Mr.. Tucker has
the fact to sustain his position, that
farm products, according to the market
reports, brought better prices at his own
home aud elsewhere under a low tariff,
than they do under High Tariff
including wool, flour, wheat, corn. cats
and pork.
Mr.. Yost is supporting for President,
and would support his measures in Con-
gress, if both we're elected, a war-memory
candidate who is using those memories to
infame the Northern people against the
Southern people, and thus to bring them
to the polls in his support. He says in
public speeches On the stump that this Sec
tlonal, war-memory candidate is a head
and shoulders above Grover Cleveland, the
first President in twenty-five years to give
the South recognition and to give the pee
pie of the whole country 1. national admi
nistratlon. Mr.. Tucker is supporting
Grover Cleveland.
Mr.. Yost, the, efore, differs with the peo-
pie of this district both in the matter Of
taxation and the matter of nationalism.
The election of the man he is advocating
would put back the growth of national
feeling ID the country, quarter Of CEN
fury. The candidate MIR. Tucker is sup
porting, will, in another four years, make
sectionalism thing Of the past, and leave
behind him a completed work which will
be to his memory monument, around
which will gather the patriotism and love
of country of a united and prosperous
people.
Mr.. Tucker believes that the Mills Bill,
whether it be one, or two, or twenty per
cent. different from the present tariff, is
q step IN the direction of loUer taUation of the
people. Mr.. Yost believes in taking no
step in that direction, but believes that
every tax inflicted on the people in The
interest of Protection IS a blessing to
them-the experience of twenty-six years
to the contrary, Notwithstanding.
The majority of the people of this dis
trict differ with Mr.. Yos5, both in The
pocket view and the patriotic view, and
it is this difference they expect to make
PLAIN at the ballot-box on the 9th of No
vember.
