sectional lines The lines which once a.

republics map because the conditions
which created those lines have passcd
away. lndustrially, the republic Is

Of the North and South are identical.

numbered millions are purchasers Of the
very products which are peculiar 10 the

cause they are near to those markets
They command those markets because
they ore distributing points for those mar

cause they make the American people. and

yet Mr. Bryan asks your votes upon the
very proposition that he will destroy

markets by words. You cannot secure
markets by theories You secure mar
kets by securing possessions that AFFORD

markets besides those that they them
