KULP-BUCkALEW.

r. Buckalew by the Democratic
conference at Danville the issue in
this Congressional district is male
up; and the voters from now on will
be called upon to make their choice.
No one will pispute MIR. Bucka-
LEWIS abilities as lawyer nor deny
his reputation as a diplomat. These
are not issues in this campaign. The
question is simply which of the two
men will best serve the interests of
the district and contribute most to
the prosperity of the country.
The President has declared that
the tariff war must go on. Not con-
tent with the fact that after having
kept the country in state of depres-
sion and anxiety for year, at the
end of which they were compelled,
by the state of business, to pass a
bill whose only commendatory fea-
ture is the measure of protection it
affords, and whose odious income
tax and diferential duties in favor of
the sugar trust no one defends. Not
content with these things, they as a
party demand continuation of this
struggle.
1t certainly will be continued if
the next Congress is Democratic.
We are not calamity howlers but we
feel and know that the only hope of
that era of prosperity we all desire,
lies in stopping the warfare on
American industries. Hence we are
for Kulp.
Mr.. Buckalew's whole past record
his stand during the war, his associ-
alton in the Senate and House unmis-
takeably indicate that his future
alliances like those Of the past, will
be with the South.
The future of this country cannot
be trusted to that section and their
allies. Their whole policy is des-
tructive of national wealth and
national credit.
The mission of the Republican
party is to put this country on a
sound basis, to rescue the treasury
from its present depleted condition,
to so restore the confidence of the
world that we may enter upon a pro.
longed period of prosperity and our
factories and industries once more
resound with the happy voices of
thrifty people. Neither by past
record, present association or per-
sonal temperament is Buckalew
qualified to represent our people at
this crisis.
In the past he preferred divided
confederacy to nation preserved by
the law. In the present he is the
associate, and if elected would be the
colleague, of the men who framed
and passed the Wilson bill and
whose inability to act was and is the
cause of our present depression. In
temperament he cannot sympathize
or associate with the working people
of this country.
Kulp on the contrary is a self
made young man, who has toiled
with the toilers, and who has felt
the pangs of adversely and who will
make fighting soldier on the peo.
pies side of the next Congress.
The sum and substance of the tariff
question, as Abraham Lincoln view
ed it, was given in his first speech
on the tariff question, which was
short and to the point. He said he
did not pretend to be learned in po-
litical economy, hut he thought that
he knew enough to know that "when
an American paid twenty dollars for
steel to an English manufactures
America had the steel and England
had the twenty dollars. But when
he paid twenty dollars for steel to
an American manufacturer America
had the steel and the twenty dollars" "
1t was certainly a great tariff speech
