PROTECTION.
@Protection" i the corners stone OF our
political faith. Its q eatsst blessing is that
IL protecting the American laborer and man-
ufActurer il strengthens and builds up all
interests, resulting in the promotion of
great diversity Of business enterprises and
home market. IL thereby murtures not
only the interests primarily and directly
protected, but all interests, particularly
agriculture, " hich finds in the certainty and
higher prices of a home market IFS great ad-
vantage Pennsylvania Democrats have.
until recently, claimed the unique distinc-
ton OF being Democratic protectionists
AT last, however, the controlling element
IN that party, not oniy IN the patton, but
State, has unequivocallY announced its an
tagonism to protection. II is our duty TO
take advantage of this opportunity and
press home this living issue. We will there
by deal Democracy its deathblow in Peun-
sylyania.

suffice for the tens OF thousands of brave
soldiers who still survive. We advocate
such amendments TO the pension laws as

shown by Commissioner Tanner 10 his
