nomination, supported heartily and en-
Enthusiastically by the party, with a united
and thorough organization, thoroughly
equipped with all the elements Of success,
in possession of both state and national
government, and opposed by a weak
candidate, we were badly beaten. Mr.
Cleveland has not gained any strength
IN this district; on the contrary, he Is
weaker. The people who always want 10

that opposed him then that will do so now.

desired them. How many Will refuse to
support Mr.. Cleveland on this account is

it can be made so cheap, what is the use
of continuing the protection? 1t is
right here. Other countries, following
America, have also cheapened their
process of making, and having cheaper
labor to work on they can undersell the
Americans by the difference in Ameri-
can and foreign wages. Remove the
tariff and our labor will have to be re-

in here and, by underselling. close our
factories, gain control of markets, and,
as in the past, again raise prices. Is it
not better to continue the protection

wages to the labOrer in America, who
consumes and makes a market for the
beef, pork and flour Of the American
farmer?
