For Masses-NotrFor Glasses.
"What are the issues? This is a gov
/ ernment of the people-of the masses and
not Of the classes. There is no warrant
to guarantee the government to lay upon
the people a tribute which is not foI
the support of the government. The
Republican party is the party of the
classes. We are willing to meet the foe
upon the open field. The business affairs
of the country remain unsettled until the
business Of the people is settled Monop
oily is against us and from the time the
assault is made we may expect TO see the
poisoned shafts flying. Money, the
aggregation of wealth is against us
For years they have been levying a toll
upon. the people of this country at every
port of entry. But the unpurchasabl,
people are with us. Do you consider tho
fact that nine out of every ten of the
laboring men of the country are not EN-
ployed In the protected industries
This tariff legislation starves nine men
to death for the benefit of one.
Labor is not protected. The markets
of the world are shut of from us This
