Now, under the Free trade laws,
there are many men hunting one job.
Wages lower, money higher, the rich
getting richer, all the Decessaries Of life
higher, public and private bankruptcy
nearly universal. Free trade has been
tried four times since 1883. and has
never failed to cause the above results
and worse. Under the Wilson bill the
duty on sugar amounts to $50 600 900 a
year. Under the protective bill sugar
was free, and the poor people got under
that law twenty pounds Of sugar for
one dollar. Now they get from four
teen to sixteen pounds for one dollar
under the Wilson bill. A few pounds
of sugar saved On every dollar Is big
thing for the poor man, while the office
holders and rich men do not feel it. The
Mckinley bill lay heavy duties on lux
urles and which only the wealthy can
afford.
Fifty per cent. of all the goods i'm
ported under the laws of 1890, were ab-
soutely free. You Of course know why
the Mckinley law put them on the free
list? Because We do not manufacture
them at home. The American farmer
and laborer pays no duty on tea, coffee,
dried fruit, tobacco or sugar; in other
words the protective tariff saves our
poor farmers and laborers SIG 900. .00O in
custom duties. In 1861, after Is years
of tariff for revenue, the Government
had to borrow money for current eX-
penses at ten and twelve per cent. In
1891, after 80 years or protection, the
Government could borrow all it wanted
at two per cent. See, now, will you,
the greal sum saved the people by the
Republican form Of government. We
poverty stricken people must see to it,
tnat the reins of this United States
Government are placed back into the
hands of the Republican party. If you
don't We had as we'll go and engage our
quarters at the poor house, now.
Why, at the close Of 1898, under the
Wilson bill, there werr 1900, 600 Of la
borers in the United States who were
willing to work and who had worked
in 1892 and before that, who were idle
or working on reduced wages at from
20 to so per cent. It was this same class
OF laborers who put Mr.. Cleveland in
office, and it will he the same laborers
who will return him TO private life in
1896. They will also see to it this fall
that both Houses Of legislation are
placed in the hands of the Republi-
cans.
Six months after the Mckinley bill
became a law, the New York Times
said, when woman pays so cents
yard more for stuff to make dress of
than she would have paid if the Nc
kinley bill had not become law, she
should keep it to herself, so doing she
will confer favor upon President Har-
rison, WHO expects another term IN the
White House, if the people will quit
making remarks about the tariff" The
paragraph was clipped by Chicago
paper, and came under notice Of one
Mrs. Elizabeth Hunt, of Bloomington,
Ill. She. wrote an indignant letter in
reply, as follows:
Now, don't this fool Democrat, who
edits the Chicago Herald, know, or
can't his wife tell him, that everything
a woman wears, costs less than it did
before the Mckinley bill passed. Calico
is a cents per yard. A good summer
silk cost from 25 to o5 cents per yard
that used to cost 81. Black silk can be
bought from 60 cents to 81, that used to
cost from 50 to $3.50 per yard. Sugar
used TO cost cents, now can be bought
for cents. Ribbon one half the old
price, and Jerseys, since they are max
ing them in this country, cost one half
as much as the imported. Ladies things
are down. We ladies know that Demn-
crat husbands can lie to each other,
but they cau't lie to US. The women
are no fools Let the Herald liar stick
to mems things, when be lies, and not
try to lie about woman's things; we
won't stand it. I am a Democratic
woman, but I don't want any lying to
keep the party up"
When we take into consideration,
rny friends, that such wise, patriotic
named below, were protectionists, that
we could not doubt for one moment,
but that it is the best law for American
citizens, viz: All the Presidents from
Washington to Buchanan, Except Polk
and PIERCE Daniel Webster, James G.
Blaine, VIM. McKinley,,Thos. 3. Reed,
Horace Greeley and every Republican
President from Lin 'oln to Harrison.
Now my countrymen and friends, l
may fail to argue with you the neces-
sity Of giving me your vote for Con-
gresham, or seeing that those cast for
me are properly counted, yet l hope to
have your confidence, and time will
show you that am right in my views
of protection; and with my effort in
your behalf, you will yet see this South
land of ours amazingly prosperous; but
it will never be, though, unless you
have her represented in Congress by
Republican who will then put the
Northern and Western Republicans in
touch with the interests of the Repub-
licans of South Carolina.
TO MY ENEMIES.
You have my heartfelt sympathy.
You have spent not less than one
thousand dollars to defeat me for the
Postoffice, first, and then for the norni-
nation for Congress, both Of which
were failures. l am glad you lost your
money, and you will lose every time
you try, for l am in the hands of one
too great for such cattle as you to de-
