Protection has destroyed our
foreign commerce and driven our
mercantile marine from the ocean,
thus depriving our citizens of the
most powerful agencias for acquiring
the wealth which it exasts for its
pampered and plutocratic beneficial
ries. New York Herald.
Senator Pugh, of Alabama, states
that if iron and coal are not protected
he and his colleague will vote against
the tariff bill, and Senators Caffery
and Blanchard, of Louisiana, make
the same threat in regard to sugar

Senator Vest hasn't shown his usua
zeal for Democratic principles in the
tariff fight. His attitude of protection
for coal and passive submission to ths
Sugar Trust and other plutocratit
amendments in the Senate to the

wealthy since he first went to tn,
Senate poor man, and there is {
suspicion that he has been hypnotizet
by the glamour of the golden calf

the high and honorable body it wa
when they were members of it. Ii
