PENNSYLVANIA SYSTEM"
II you wfil-it only does honor to Pennsyl-
vania and her statesmanships-for II bene-
hts all our laborers and farmers in all parts
of the American union. Why should we not
do all our work and spend all our own wages
at home, giving to bo h farmers and work
ingmen the richest rewards for their labor
OF any country under the sun? Answer that
Give US protection. y My greatest concern
my chief object In this, as in every cam
paign. is to drive from our shores distress
and want and misery land lift I'D those who
are bowed down, land bring to those who are
In want work and prosperity. And will
never view with tolerance any system which
has different object towards any American
citizen anywhere within the limits of cur
great republic. tfca
The other question involved in this cam.

mere advocacy ofzfree silver. and which IL
too little noted Is that 1t makes It harder to
induce many who would otherwise invest Ia

ternrises. There IS a waiting There is dis
trust on every hand. Men do not know what
the future has in store for them This Is
particularly Obseryahlef in cities which are
endesvoring to sell their bonds to make pub
lic improvements. The very threat of free
silver Is stopping the sale of city bonds In
every part of the country. This loss falls
with peculiar force upon laborers everywhere
Cities can ordinarily make Improvement II
they can borrow money: IL thew cannot bor-
