THE RESULTS OF PROTECTION.
A high tariff destroys the business
of small towns and small tradesmen
and concentrates trade in the large
cities. The mechanics who once
owned their own houses and their own
shops are no more. These men and
the small tradesmen, made many a
village now gone into decay, a Selt-reIi-
munity. We have in their st cad great
factories and mills. The wQrkmen,
knowing but one part of their trade
living in crowded an unhealthy tene-
ment houses, no one master OF the
of the trade as whole and all OF them
restless and dissatisfied, fearful of a
strike or appTehensiYe of lockout.
Few of them are owners of their homes,
all of them are at the mercy of the nil.
lionaiTe. Gamblers and sharpers toy
with the wheat market and the stock
market and render prices unstable.
Gigantic corporations form mammoth
pools and leviathan trust companies
and juggle the business of transporta-
ton, usurp the telegraphs and rail
roads, run up the prices OF the neces-
saries of life and crush out the smaller
interests. No man of small capital can
commence business IN their lines and
live. They water the stocks of their
concerns until dividends grow small
and then the works are cody smut
down and the Worklngmen turned

has DESTROYED our commerce, shut Us
out from the markets OF the world and
placed every farmer and wOrkingmen
at the mercy OF arrogant rings that
control each branch Of business. And

Can it be that we have departed SO
far from the teachings Of the fathers
that we are willing that there should
be two classes. one very rich and the
other very poor? Has our blood be
come so weak that it no longer boils
when our liberties are in danger? Have
we become so tffeminate that we can
no longer think, and thinking set? Can
it be possible that we VIII sit supinely
by aud see our land pass entirely under
the sordid rule of money! are we
willing 20 say that the declaration of
independence meant nothing when it
said that ''all men are created free and
equal?" Do we wish to weld still moro
securely the CALLING letters Of indust-
rial tyranny, which even now bind us
to the wheels OF wealth? If so, vote for
Cannon and re-0pening Of the tariff
agitation Vote Tor Cannon and q
restoration of the Mckinley law Make
mora perfect the policy OF non inter

feet of commerce and clip once more
the white wings of trade. Take the
school books from the WOrkingman and
tear the maps of Europe from your
Biographies. Burn your bridges, tear
up your railroads and cut down the
poles of the telegraph, for AL this and
more too is the creed of the robber
