The "blightine effects" of the Wilson

the "blighting effects" of the Wilson
bill are felt in every home in the re-
public and its beneficial results across
the Atlantic. Democracy does not
possess the magical power to make
people believe what they know to be
untrue, and the people from the At
lantic to the Pacific, and FROM the
great lakes to the gulf are tired OF
free trade and urgently desire change
to the old regime. Protection is the
only policy for America, and it will
again be inaugurated as soon as eiti-
gems can do it at the ballot box. The
fact is not only apparent that times
are dull and distressful; but want and
starvation in thousands of homes make
it fearfully realistic. America for
Americans, natives or naturalized, Is
the true motto, and the people want
no more legislation that deprives
| them of bread and worx for the benefit
of foreigners across the ocean. Amer
leans are willing to wear clothing
made by local factories if wool viii
