venture to say there is scarcely a man in
this audie who las not p lid ST. too muc !,
Tor the suit OF clothes he is wearing. And
yet they till you that the mechanic gains
that tne farmer is hrl7ed and all labor is
fostered an advanced by his protection.
They tell you they pro ect grain If ali kinds
Tor the benefit OF the rmer ask the lea It
Informe Of you, who could bring foreign
ram into this country to compete with the
products of your farms? The man would be
TOOL who would try it tell you this So
called protection OF grain IS simply fraud.
They have fooled YOU. We have exported
as much as $3.50 0i1,090 worth Of wheat annu-
any against 1915 bushels imported, and this
importation W as learned to have come from
Germany where it IS perfected brand and
Drought to tn 5 country for seed and not. for
1000, and at cost of 81. 20 per busnel. You
ali know one the many humorousiy bril-
Ilant and truthful things said by Abraham
Lincoln: You can fool part of the people
all the time; you can fool all the people a
part of the time, but you can't fool all
the people all the time" When your
exports of corn amounted to so 00). 00O our
imports reached 1888 bushels. Yet they pro-
tectei corn They also put duty on rye
You couldn't guess what our imports were
Sixteen bushels! [Laughter.l They ara
fooling the farmer while they have their
hands clear to the bottom of his pockets
Last var they put duty on hides for the
beneht Of the Western farmer. But the
manufacturer said: Come down from there !
snow you're up there! You're my meat"
And they did come down. Laughter
Our friends promised us free silver. They
said we should have all the free silver we
wanted. But like Mary Jane. whcn she sig
nailed the old man to stop his exaggera-
tons, the friend in the North sang over
the Garden WaIl'' and finally when they got
wn to cabbases they answered: Wen not
fall another cabbage" laughter And
cabbage has been the great distctive feat
ure of this Administration daughter and
applause
FL tell you what will protect-right to buy
and sell, right to choose your own occupa-
tic n, right TO contribute to the general pros
perity, and right to be pIundered-and
the Democrat C party is the church militant
to carry out these principles.
\ word about our exports Why are they
constantly falling off? Germany put duties
on our products. France is day discuss
ing the question Of prohibiting our corn,
having already prohibited our pork. They
tell Us that our pork is excluded because it
is not wholesome. That is a mere subter-
fuge. The disease of American pork is the
American duties on French imports. VIII
The farmers permit thsse threatenings?
VIII they redeem their country? II not,
then no more homeSteads. Then our land
will soon be in the hands of tarons who will
have their parks with deer and other game.
and your children will be their retainers
who VIII be called to prepare the dog and
horses for the chase. Your fathers never in
tended you should have such an inherit
ance.
Those who have made our obnoxious laws
are every day saying that You shall not
have our vote. Shall we permit this central
ICED despotism at Washington to continue?
Can we stand up and say 1.-The country is
ours%' We have the nerve to do it, and we
viii not prove false and recreant to our
duty. \ bold and lmpudent man sits in the
Leg stature to- day and tramples in the dust
the rights and usageS of years. He reckons
without his host. There will be another
reckon ng. They have boldly said We will
appoint officers for l.fe and you can't put
them out. They shall see. The Saxon race
never remained in slavery. The Saxons
have been almost exterminated, but their
blood was largely transmitted to their con-
qunrors. They will fight their way They
will rise and continue to rise and VIII trans
NIT again to their people
