TIE people do Lot care for men
taey csTe fer measures; they do not
want theories, but PRINCIPLES. Taco
ries may change, but principles are
immortal.
TARIFF.
TIE principle @; right and wrong
exists row and has sigca the fonda
ton of oar government, guided and
controlled in all le2islation.s II po
litical party does wrong the oteer
great party attacks that wrong, but II
The other con6oGes thA wrong then
are the peo2te indeed helpless. L !:
parishes OF the rlunGered spells then
both are piuG&ererS.
We are Carcliniaas and therefore
our traditions SIS handed down by our
fathers are dear to Us. Every set OF
the past generation has heipad to make
the present generation what 1t IS. TIE
people of every land make up ard in
crease as 8 factor IN cur civilization
sad whether they be sons ot merry
England or Of the Emerald Isle, or
Scotca, or Of the Water Land, or
Itaia's cline, We all, at cur mothers
knees have learned the lessons Of re.
lieion and honesty. There while on
banGed knees our mothers tsught US
from the Word Of God, Thou shalt
not steal"
Deep down into the childish heart
the teachings OF Caro!inisn mothers
6ud an abiding place. Many a boyish
hand when touching his neishbor's
fruit has been stopped by Thou shalt
not steal, )" conscience crying, Thou
shalt rot steal In ihe counting
house, il The sales room. IN the WORK
shops, an6 on the farms one and all
OF IS say. Thou shalt not steal .
In the affairs Of life the maxim is
Justice TO all, special privileges 10
none. You, fellow citizens, would
not divide among you stolen property.
Itaryore were 10 ssk you to partici
pate in thieving ard piundering your
neigh5or you'd spurn the offender;
you'd invite him with the toe OF your
boot 10 absent himself.
