all the years. at lease for the most part.
under which We have had a protective
tariff, We have always had ample reye-
Hues TO conduct the expenses OF the gev-
ernment- Now. that policy. wisely and ju-
diciousiy applied in public law. Is one OF
the first and most important acts for the
people TO perform. They cannot perform
X. however. without a Republican con-
gress and q Republican president. The
only power that can elect

Besides, did II ever occur to yon that
rcney does not make WORK. Work
makes money. There IL just as much
morey IN this country taaay as there was
from 1870 TO 1890, and more. II Is work
that puts money into circulation. Money
does not want 10 be Idle any more than
In Dor wants 10 be idle. The man who has
morsev wants tllat money 20 be earning

not put Z cur rrw IS because he - afraid
