Hawley always acted as one of tho h,vh
priests at the altar of sacrifice.
How do the people OF the Tenth conrrss.
sionai district Of Texas like that?
Mr.. Hawley has also handed the farm
ers and laboring men of his district
hot one on his every vote anent taxa.,on
since he has been in congress.
He voted for the 5000, 900 900 bond is-
sue to carry on the war with Spain. which

notes, the kind OF money that has fought
all our wars.
This would have been added to our dir

from the congestion In the treasury OF

terest and are debt saddled upon tho
people that must be paid.
The treasury notes are not But the
bankers had to be taken care OF and Mr.
Hawley assisted In the hand-out to them.
The democratic contention that the bonds
were not needed has been proven abso-
lutely correct. They opposed saddling this
debt upon the people. Mr.. Hawley favored
It, MIR. Hawley is a "saddler" from away
back when IT comes to protecting the in
terests of 'fryable" bankers as against the
honest yeomanry OF the country.
Mr.. Hawley being reasonably rich
man himself voted against the proposition
TO tax all incomes over $4,000, as a war
measure, thus saying to the man who is
able to pay his part to carry on this war
that we will protect you and let the poor
man pay the expenses of this war by tax
alton.
This is what he said by his vote which
was demanded by the plutocracy and deliv-
cred by Mark Hanna.
He also hit the farmer and the working
man between the eyes with his vote on the
Dingley bill.
He voted tax on wooden dress goods
worth 80 cents pound, Of 1887 per cent
He voted tax on blankets worth not
more than so cents per pound Of 154.Ss per
cent, On shawls valued at 40 cents a pound
he voted to make the poor pay 1913 S. duty
or tax,
The following are only few OF the many
things that interest the farmer that were
free OF any duty under the Wilson bill that
now carry heavy duty under the D.ngley
bin which Mr. Hawley so ardently sup
ported end which is proof positive that he
is no friend to the farmer and the poor
man, but an enemy:

rows 20 per cent, hawesters 20 per cent,

Senator Teller, for years republican
leader III his State, as well as in the United
States senate, in speaking OF the Dinsley
bib, which Mr.. Hawley so persistently ad-
vocated, worked and voted for said bill:
II repeat, in my judgment, 1t Is the worst
tariff bill that has ever been passed 1t Is
exceedingly high; ii is away beyond any
thing that | had any reason to suppose
would be adopted. In my option II lakes
good care OF all the trusts and all the con-
blnations of the country, and If can say
IL without being offensive, in my ]uI2ment'
the trusts and combines and synd.cates
have had rather too much 10 DO win the
making OF the bill.
The following are only few OF the
grea, trusts that Mr.. Hawley favored py
his vote and which had placed heavy duies
on their wares:
