I'VE are engaged this year. he said, lin
| contention among ourselves as to whether
we shall retain the American markets and
| the American workshop. The republican
party believes In retaining both. L have
never been able to understand why any
American citizen should want to give the
| foreigner the same free access TO this mar
ket that the American citizen enjoys, for
he contributes nothing to the support of
this government, its permanency or its
glory Nothing is cheap TO the American
| people that comes from abroad IL IL en-
| forces idleness among our own people"

| The south, through the democratic party
is in power for the first time in forty years
in all branches of the government, and 1t is
seeking to get even with the north for the
sake of long-deferred revenge" and he then
proceeded to show that the wilson-Gorman
bin was framed to destroy northern indus
tries, while allowing southern industries to
| survive Rice, sugar, lead, iron ore COAL
| tobacco ard whisky to have protection;
| wool, lumber and salt TO be free; Tennes-
| see marble to be saved. New Hampshire
granite to be endangered. The Wilson
| bill as II passed the House was utterly de-
structive Of many industries. particularly
| Of agriculture.
'One object" he asserted. "of the south
ern tariff destroyers Is to reduce the wages
| OF labor. That democratic tariff destruc-
| ton means low wages and degradation for
| the masses OF every community Is coming
to be seen by the white voters OF the south.

| ial masters. Hence arose one Of the great
| reasons for repeating the national election
