tariff that will strike down all protective
trusts and enable the people to buy ma
terals in America as cheaply a. they can
buy them abroad. 1--WE demand, he
said, "an honest administration aud the
opening OF the books, so that We can
turn the offenders out. We denounee
extravaganza and appropriation OF the
public money by executive order.
President Roosevelt, he continued, has
usurped the sacred rights Of the people
