for real protection. The chief question
that concerned the people of Rhode
Island, he said, was the tariff.
Every village and factory In the State
was the result Of the tariff and he lie not
know what the people Of Rhode Island
would do without It. He could not i'm

could exist in Rhode Island. And yet
here you are 850,0 0 people prospecting
and there we are ready to sell you every
thing you want at bottom prices. As
long as you are ready to stand by your
selves the farmers arc ready to stand by
the tariff. You could not live without IL,
but il You do not care for it we will try to
struggle along without 1t. He referred

about as much misery here as anywhere.
There are always people who look at the

In Rhode Island.
Mr.. Dolliver did not claim that the Nc
Kinley bill did everything. The Fifty

for the prosperity OF the country: He

had been resisted and of the increase OF

Some of the credit for the increase Of

of wooden mills and American sheep, new

friends and neighbors, but this is not u
question of men but Of principles. IL is n
