is II that no republican speaks cut aga,ns.

is it that the republicans in charge do MT
destroy that so that you can believe Mr..
Hanna when he says there are NJ trust.

The laboring man asks for arbitration
aud gets large army: he asks relief from
government by injunction and gets a large
army; he asks for shorter hours of labor
in order that he may have more time with

dents cabinet In order that labor may be
protected and his answer ia a large army
That IS the domesttc reason which liz not

with the Almighty, but the trouble Is they
make all the noise and thus far the Al
mighty has been the silent partner. They
say the Filpinos would lay down their

republican tells you that you tell him
