tariff, Judge Cannon said it reduces the
tax on Sealskin sacques 80 per cent, and

people can afford, it is increased 120 per
cent. Diamonds are let in free. But
Wilmington is signing forforcign snails.
So they are on the free list. Laughter.
Dragons blood is on the free list, and
castor oil is charged 210 per cent! isup-

u is time for the people to arise in
their might and go to the polls and wipe
out this infamous legislation. When
they can by the authority of super
visor put Il Democrat from his rightful
position at the polling place, you are
fast nearing the point when you are
getting the shadow but losing the sub.
stance of your constitutional rights.
We are here now, asking you to get
this government into the hands of the
common people. That is where .JefIer-
son hoped it would always remain. We
want you to take it from the hunds of
the plutocrats. But above all things do
not sell that inestimable privilege of
your ballot. See that you deposit it
with the confidence that you are doing
your duty to your country, your fellow
citizens, and your God. Cheers.

of wine and beer drinking should never
be interfercd with. These Germans did
not come without money. They were
not poor. But they came to better their
condition. They built houses, built
vineyards, and made the country
blossom like garden of the gods. BY
