reaped some benefits from the protective |
tariff, the agriculturalists Of Nebraska |
had reaped benefits more abundantly. |

repetition Of the old argument which |
had been once wittily illustrated IN the |
house Of representative by Mr., $. s, |
Cox. "There are no snGkes In Ireland |
Mr., Cox aid, "and Ireland has free |
trade, Therefore there can be no snakes |
in any country that has free trade"
