practicable II Is not impracticable.
Turkey China and various heather ma
tions practice Il. What we have TO stand
under 1t Is from two 10 five millions Of
wage earners turned oyt Of work when
foreign goods, made by senipauper la
Dor, glut our market: i'm fact. all we
have 10 do is to put about ninety-one
one-hundredths OF all the burdens upon
bread winners and We can have all tho
free trade the most bitter enemy OF our
honest wage workers can possibly ask
60 Why do protectionists say OF free

sum OF 10000 in ship subsidies TO pro-
v.de i've nillion wage earners work.

a system OF tyranny? Because IN strong
free trade states free speech and free
90 Why do we call free trade fraud,
Because while accusing protectionists
with being the friends OF miscegenatio

Why do free traders spend so much time
defending genteel smugglers when we
poor wage carners have to pay the du-
ties? Why do free traders yell them
selves hoarse for fabrics so cheap for
those with money that wage workers may
labor at starvation wages? And last
but not least why does nearly every Tree
trader screech for tariffs that Will roD
our bread winners of their Jobs and AT
the same time why don't a few free trad-
ers utter one or two plain sentences IN
favor of a tariff that will supply bread
winners with employment?
