am Republican because that party Is
pledged to the protection OF American
labor. Cheers The country that raises
raw material aud sells it as such, will al
ways be ignorant and poor. Cheer
Why? The labor to raise raw material IL
worked into fabric, fashioned into beauti.
tiful shapes, requires intelligence, conse-
quently, the greater number Of industries
we have in the United States, the more in
telligent our population will be. [Cheers.
Another reason: ordinary labor is al
ways cheap. Labor commands price
in proportion that the mind Ia
mixed with muscle. In the proportion
that thought is mingled with effort
GCheers The people whb want US to
raise raw material for England to manu-.
facture simply vote for the poverty and
ignorance of America Cheers. j an

sue but one industry they become stupid.
Where the industries are diversified, every
part of the brain is developed, and we have
use for every aptitude, for every talent,
and for every kind Of genius. AM In

der that policy we have become the richest
nation on the globe. Cheers
