w.il r. Gay said In opening that this Is
a campaign OF education and ideas. and
that 80 much literature had been d.strio-
tsed that no good men could help but De
Informed of the ISSUES that are AT stake
He gave facts and figures 10 show the
great prosperity of she country from lsso
10 1880 under Republican protective tar
~. xs.;s~ he.
fern declared the protective tariff rob-
b~ry and fraud. the people Listened 10
she cry, and the result was The election OF
Grover Cleveland. a free trader. You
know the rest. said Mr. Gay. Following
Mr.. Cieveiand's election came loss OF con-
iidence and business stagnation- Not all
of this Is attributable TO the Democrats
aocsrine OF free trade. because in good
times our people had speculated. and there
had II, be a reimbursement Of business al
/ fairs 10 a certain extent. II was notoTi-
! oass fact however, that the tariff ieg-saa-
/ lion OF the Democratic party IN congress
/ had the effect TO plunge the country into
deb, something over $26aoss.e1. Exper.-

with cheaper tabor does not bring pros
perstv. and the only enterprise that has
been prospecting for the past four years
has been that conducted by the sher.h.
