WHO'S BEEN RoBBEDi

The Democratic platform says; We
denounce Protectionism as a robbery"
This is certainly startling if true. But
Who has been robbed?
Not the farmer, who is getting a bill
lion dollars more year for his products
than under. Free Trade; whose animals
are worth billion dollars more than I'M
der Free Trade; who has paid of his
mortgages, who has improved his lands,
who has increased his stock and imple-
ments. and who has money TO burn in
stead of corn, as was the case under
Free. Trade.
No the farmer has not been robbed,
and the farmers and their families con
stitute 80 per cent. OF all our people.
Not the wage eamers in manfactur-
ing industries. who have lived 50 well
and added billion dollars to their saw
ings since 1897, who have increased their
insurance, who have paid for their
lionirs, who have worked less hours and
earned more money than ever before.
10. The wage Garner has not ben robbed.
Not the railroad employees, who are
getting a quarter OF billion dollars
more wages year than under Free
Trade.
Not the railroad owners, who are get
ting twice the dividends and whose
stock is worth about double what it was
under Free Trade.
Not the professional man, who is earn
ing twice as much, and getting it. He
didsnot get it even though he earned It
under Free Trade.
Not the wives and daughters, who live
well and dress well when the husbands
and f,,tiqys sre. fully employed at high
wages.
Not. the boys who are getting a good
education.
Not the general public laborers. who
aye working less hours and getting high

whites of his tasks in the warehouse
of a grain dealer His wages were
six shfllings a week ($1.50). and of
that sum his parents allowed him to
retain two and siXpence to clothe and
feed himself. Supper and bed, how
ever, he got at home. He worked from
in the morning until 10 or II at
night-taking one hour out of his long
day for meals. Most of that precious
hour he devoted to reading-his pref
erence being for anything about the
stage. All the money he could save
he spent for books. One of the duties
the grain dealer imposed upon the boy
was moving sacks of -four weighing
$50 pounds. Once he had to go about
his work so poorly protected that his
hands were frost bitten. When he
