Here is a sample. l have been talking

said you must have the outside Of sheep
taxed, but the outside OF other animals

! law, "Hides, raw or incurred, whether dry
sailed or picked; angola goat skin, raw,
without the wool manufactured; asses
skins, raw and unmanufactured." Wen,
the ass skin business is an old one, not a

have shown you how the protection OF
industry was. ! have shown you when he
let it alone to boss the duty on wool, II
set the looms Of West Virginia al work; II
is setting the looms everywhere at WORK
and if they will take the duty of such
things as machinery in the looms and
other things that come In, then the busy
| loom of American industry would be used
to clothe the world.
| NV kind friends, / have no more TO say.
! have word to ask you. Support your
entire Democratic ticket. Go TO the polls
vote as early as you can-of course, you
can't vote often because the laws OF Wes'
| Virginia wont permit IT, ! ask you 10 &c
your best TO hold the Democratic party IN
power, and let US see what the Democratic
party will do for the untaxed Industry oil
the country. Applause.
