Grover Cleveland declared in a
recent interview that "the tariff
would be the paramount issue in
1904" Grover feels that he is the
author of the issue which he insisted
in foisting upon his party and he
doesn't mean to let it be forgotten.
He doesn't believe in the policy of
protection and wants it wiped out
and disowned as soon as possible.
We have the opinion, however, in
view of the experience which the
country had with Cleveland and his
free trade ideas and the hard times
and depression which followed the
election in 1892, that when the PEG.
ple want the tariff changed they will
ontrust the job to its friends instead
Of 10 it's enemies. They let the latter
