"A number n l.of degenerate journalists

ppPosea the policy of President McKin-
icy administration in any way were
apettors OF the crime of Czolgosz. These
men would lead people to believe that

senator Hansbrough, of North Da-

hand maid of protection
| In an able article on the question of
tariff revision the ST. James Journal
| says:
~, Protectionists have always claimed

ina4stI1es become firmly established,
protection could be safely withdrawn
| The old argument that protection was
