teresfs viii be best served by sustaining tne protective
tariif. Both Democrats and Republicans agree that
reduction Oh at least S7OCOOOOO should be made In
Iur TAXATION How is country hurt, II, In making
this reduction, our industries are protected.
Wherever there is industry which IS thriving In tho
south, that industry IS protected by the NILS Dill
But the industries OF the North are stricken to tao
death. Cleveland said in a message that sugar
vas revenue article. II is, and every cent which IS
imposed upon comes out of the taxpayers POCKET
But upon this and upon rico tho highest rate of duty
IS maintained, while wool. which IS grown upon our
hills Is put thc free list Iron and steel are TO be
stricken and set sugar is protected. The immense
benefit OF a protective taril on iron and stoei can
hardly be estimated. 1t has enormously cheapened
the price Of iron and steel Our immense production
has been thrown upon tho world until now prices
never we're so low. You go through all OF our
Industries and you Will have the same influence

oheapcnod everything. We're you ever better clad
nj lower price i am I'm favor OF protective tariff,
Lecalise IL raised the wages Of our workngmen.
