thing about whisky, but it was very
low. He said that Harrison would
protect the laborer against foreign COM
netition. He read extensively from
English papers to show that Cleveland
was a free trader. From free-trade
England came words OF cheer for Cleve
land. He claimed that Csnada's ad-
vantage5 were equal to those of the
United States, and they could send
uuelr product into America free of tariff
duty and wsrk serious injury to the
la boring classes of our country. He
said he had in his possession statistics

the great amount of I'M lry which Canada
could work against the laborlng classes
into getting into America the produc-
tons of that country tarih free.
Manufacturers and laborers are band
