This 10 NO trifliDg matter. It effects 20 per
cent. Of the people of Iowa. Now We say that
when tho republican members from Iowa
voted for or supported the Mckinley bill they
acted contrary 70 the known wishes OF the
people OF this district and state. We say
further that the Mckinley Law discrimina.ea
against tho industries and the people OF all
these districts. Voters, remember this,
whom yo1 cast your votes.
