of p q, dent Ccvelands tariff message. Tammany Han
has spoken ont clearly and emphatclly In favor Oh
nroiccton and declared that free trade was not to he
thought of for an instant. Irving Hall reorsanlz'd'
or rather in process Of rcorganlzaion declares that
II will strongly favor protection to the industries OF
America and protection home labor. While there
are crudtes and inequalities in the present tariff
which should be remedled, We have no sympathy with
FREQ trade In any OF its forms, and protest against
the honest aborers OF this country being reduced TO
the necessity Of competition with the paupcr labor
Of Europe"
The silence Of the County Democracy and the out
spoken sentiment, OF Tammany Hall this subject
Illustrate exactly the condition OF the two organizations
Tammany is strong and selfrel ant. Its leaders say
openly that II has the votes while tho county De
