but the end of the present difficulty has
not yet been reached, nor will 1t be reached
until n definite policy on the tariff has
bsen asserted by the party in power.
Iknow that IL IL the general belief that

Manufaci urtng eud OF it. Ia exagReratiuR

A man may be Republican, but think

contain very little puriotism, and when
it comes down TO a question OF right or
wrong u man will generally jump with
the right party.
Thought They Jumped Right
The majority of the voters vidently
thought they were jumping with the
right party last time, Dut the manufact-
urer has moro &C stake than the average
man affected by the tariff. He has a
plant and he must make money, ana he
wants TO make money whether we are
under Democratic or = republican ad-
ministration. And we can make
money; that 10, capital employed In
manufacturing will always bring profit.
