This system OF revenue protection the Democratic
party proposes to supplant by a tariff which its
most jealous friends admit VIII not raise IA much
revenue on the same amount or impOrtauOnb az
the existing law by AT least $15GNCco a year; and
this deficit In revenue they propose to raise By a
resort % the most odious OF what they have de-
nounced az war taxes, by borrowing money for
current expenses as was done in the last years of
Buchanan's Administration. So. Bourbon-ke. they

tariff that neither raises sufficient revenue nor
protects American labor In is competition with the
poorest paid labor OF the word they claim Is the
only constitutional method of adjusting the tariff.
The one that raises sufficient revenue and protects
labor they denounce as a rObber baron tariff. Tho
greatest robber tariff this country can ever have T.
one that rOhs American labor Of !ts employment
by permitting the products Of the poveriy-siricken
labor Of the world to supply our home market
