differently.

The Republican party Of today. al
| though recently organized, goes back
! to the days of federalism. The differ
ence Of today go back. Hamilton be-
| lieved in a strong central government,
while Jefferson believed in giving it
only that amount of power needed to
protect itself He believed in no
/ classes. On the other hand, Hamilton
wanted the rich and well-born to have
the right to rule, and thought the
property interest should govern. While
the Republicans do not advocate this
principle today they believe in strong
Capitalization of power. The Repub-
leans believe in building up classes

Mr. Moyle then stated that the
sheepmen had been making from %
to so per cent per year, while the
( farmer had to content himself with a
small rate, and there are hundreds of
farmers to one sheepman.
The government Is not a producer
OF anything, not even money, and il
the government fosters anything, who
pays for it? What has protection done
Tor wool? Has it forced prices up
any? Perhaps So temporarily. But
If we have made such large profits
and the masses of the people have
been paying US exorbitant prices for
our wool, cannot we wait a few years
and give the other fellows a chance?
When wool was first protected there
were about 100000 sheep and people
IN the United States. Then our wool
was protected by tariff of il cents.

Republicans allege all causes of this
situation to Democratic success. Whati
