must sell his surplus products in
the European markets in competi-
tion with the silver standard coun-
tries, whatever the tariff may be,
and as long as he exports any por-
tion Of his products the foreign
price will govern the price at home.
Besides, while prices are falling
new manufacturing establishments,
to give him new market, will not
be erected but the manufacturing
will be confined to the trusts al
ready established, and he will be-
compelled to pay a higher price
for the necessaries of life without
the advantages Of a better market.
Why are the manufacturers of
this country so anxious for q high
protective tariff? Because they are
organized in trusts and fear no
competition at home. and want to
avoid all competition from abroad
in order to give them higher prices
for their commodities without re-
gard to its effect upon the country
at large.
Why will not a protective tariff
operate as beneficialIy now as it
would if there were an adequate
supply of money? Because manu-
featuring establishments are con-
Quoted by trusts, and can have no
competition in this country from
new establishments; consequently,
the great mass Of the people will
be taxed to support monopolis
without any corresponding bene-
fits by an increased market OF any
material increase in the -employ-
menu OF laDOr.
Why 10 Mr.. Cle> Gland and his
Republican allies of the Northeast
want to call the pr ducts Of the
farmers and miners raw material
and desire that they should be on
the free list? Because the manu-
featuring establishments of the
Northeast want all the benefits ol
tariff legislation without any OF
the burdens.
Why do the goldites denounce
all who are opposed to the GOLD
standard and contraction, falling
prices and hard times, as anarch.
lists aud disturbers of the public
peace? Because the supporters oi
Bryan were opposed to English
rule in this country, which the
goldites regard as asrebel]ion against
the mother country.
Why do the republican leaders
contend that the tariff is the only
subject for consideration when the
money question was the main issue
in the campaign? Because they
have used the tariff as a successful
blind for so many years that they
expect to divert the attention o1
the people from the main issue by
tariff tinkering while they secure
legislation for the banks and tho
goldites of London and New York
Why is it probable that the gold
ties will attempt to secure tinancla
legislation during the next foul
wears? Because the statutes make
all the obligations Of the Unltee
States payable in silver as we'll a:
gold, which they regard as a men
ace to the single gold standard o1
the mother country.
Why do the republican party
want to issue gold bonds? Because
they want to ratify and confirm the
maIadmiuistrat;on Of the executive
department for the last twenty
, years in surrendering to gole
gamblers the option of the United
States to pay the obligations oftht
government in silver as we'll as IL
, gold coin.
Why did the ]aborers in manu-
featuring establishments vote fo1
Mckinley, when it must have beer

, prices had made millions OF tra1np'
throughout the country? Becaus
