party" continued the speaker. 1T has
bled you on tine money question. the tax
question. and every other question which
has come before the country. The time
has come when the farmer. the plain la
boring man. cannot afford TO throw his
influence on the side OF the Republican
party. 1 believe in the income tax, and
/ believe II the most just OF all taxes. The
platform Of 1896 favored il. and your
