vote 10 build the tariff wall between thls
country and Mexico and the sllver-prOducing

As Senator Teller, one Of tho stnunchcst sup
pertcrs Of this exclusive policy, declared but
was not In Colorado's interest to vote for such
isolation, but Colorado, tftifikIng more OF her
sister states than herself, had patrtctisally
sacrificed her own interest for theirs. IL her
chief industry 10 now 10 be destroyed by the
states wbich she has voted to enrich against

conditlpbally repealed, the great bulk OF us
