Protection D.,.mea.

A protection organ says that "the issue
in the recent election was tariff or free
trade, and the people decided in favor of
tariff
The issue was high tariff for protec-
ton or low tariff for revenue. and the
people decided n favor of low tariff for
revenue by a vote of 1884, 1853 for
Cleveland and reform against only 5.437.
$50 for Harrison and the Chinese system
In 1884 the republican candidate was
so distasteful to many republicans that it
was a question of men rather than prin-
ciples in many Of the controlling states.
but comparison of the Harrison and
Garfield Campaigns shows that in the
eight years since 1880 the high tax party
bss lost ground on it's issue
Thus in Illinois. Cleveland gained In
1888. TO- 51 over the vote for Hancock /;
while Harrison gained only 81. 438 over
the vote for Garfield
In Indiana Cleveland gained 81. 4S7
over Hancock; Harrison only 81. 1877 over
Garfield.
In Ohio Clevel and gained IS 634 over
Hancock; Harrison only Al .0O8 ever Gar

In New Jersey Cleveland gained 90 D.

In New York Cleveland gained 1Ol Asa

In Connecticut Cleveland gained IS. :
SOB over Hancock; Harrison only 7.5l1
over Garfield.
In Massachusetts Cleveland gained 40, :
O80 over Hancock; Harrison only Is ,242
over Garfield
In Maine itself Harrison pollei nearly
thousand votes less than Garfield. while
in the northwest the democratic gain of
1888 over 1880 was largely Ia excess of
the republican gain during the same
period, the democratic gain in Michigan
being 80, 104, the republican only 81 III:

ton is now alarming.
