ABOUT THE TARIFF.
vov we have this question of the tar

crease our markets. and at the same time
rreserve the principle" What did lie do?
NJ established what is known as reci-
,,ocity. And when he added reciprocity
Il 10 the principle of protection, he gave to
the Al erican people the very acme of
prosperity, and it is what you enjoy to-
i day DO YOU want to change it, might
cav with YOU that if we could secure BIZ
metalljsm there might be some purpose
far voting for Mr.. Bryan. But he is help
less to obtain it. When it is brought
about It will be by the commercial condi-
\ lions which will force congress to give it.
TO SILVER REPUBLICANS.
Now then, my silver republican friends,
have no criticism to make of you. /
only ask that you do one thing, and that
is TO do what you think is right. That is
what am doing and what intend to do.
| suppose you may be criticised, whatever
YOU do That is of no consequence.
There are some old republicans who may
abuse us, and | would like to say to those
old republicans who are inclined to do
that to take it all out on me.
If YOU believe that the interests of this
state are to be best developed, served and
advanced by the promise of the demo-
cratic party, vote the democratic ticket;
but don't vote it around the corner.
There is no use in that. Be a man or a
4 mouse We are either democrats or re-
Il publicans in spite of all we can do and if
n you feel it is your duty to go-into the
4 democratic party go there, because there
are lots of good fellows in it and lots of
n good times.
If you believe in the development of
Il this slate and our country on the lines
laid down by the republican party, ex-
tension Of our commerce, the develop
ment of our resources; if you believe in
protection, vote the republican ticket.
For my part, after thinking it over,
i think the policy Of Abraham Lincoln is
II all right.
Il We don'tagree on lots of things, either
but the democrats don't agree among
themselves, either. They are worse than
we are; and so, let us, viewing all the
past, consider all the future, do as oui
conscience dictates.
Take the tariff off of wool and lead and
give us the old straightforward democ
racy and there will be lot of our fellow:
in trouble tomorrow that are prosperous
today. Consider all these things, ant
vote according to your Judgment. NJ,
Judgment and my mind are absolutel,
made up.
AGAINST PERMIT SYSTEM.

on our state politics. l desire, however

The state administration, but l do nc
ike some things it has done in the Cru
aANeneS. l do not like this permi
business. I am not in favor of it. Thos
people in the C9ur d'Alenes require
Inc strong arm of the state, but don
hhe TINS thing of men asking anothe
lot permission to work. That is nc
right.
DON'T BELIEVE IN THAT.
don't believe in asking any man
