and requested him to leave town.

A crowd of men gathered outside to
await his exit, but Martin defeated
them by holding an all-night prayer

naming with him. He still held the

are. after all, only recognizing the in

into full power in 1893. after lapse of

frame tariff on democratic principles
which would have yielded enough rev.
cnue for the support of the government,
it would not have lost the confidence of
multitudes who had so long adhered to
its traditional theories. IL il had been
able to frame any kind of tariff which
would have given the country prosper

putting into their opposition the energy
