Price u Farm Prodncts Railing

Price Of Farm Products Falling
How will the Republicans justify

The farmer who votes the Repub-
lican ticket is scratching his head
and thinking seriously that some
thing is wrong with the protective
tariff. He finds the price Of wheat

he also finds the price Of cotton.
corn and oats falling and that all he
buys still continues at top prices.
He has been told by the Republican
leaders and the newspapers that
protectionism is the salvation Of the
farmer, because il increases the
market for his products and keeps
up prices and therefore produces
prosperity for the farmer as well as
the protected trusts. AS long as
the wheat crop was onlva moderately
good one IN the United States, with
short crops abroad, protectionism
seemed TO work out as the stand

If there ever was a time In the
history Of the Democratic party for
the manifestation OF loyalty and pa
triotism on the part of its members
it is right now.
If we are to win victory and
elect President two years hence,
we-must first elect House OF Rep.
resentatives this Fall A Democrat
ic House can and will Investigate
every Department Of the Govern
ment. With all Of them honeycomb
ed by graft the edges Of which
only have been touched by recent
exposure and prosecutions. there
will be revelation of rottenness
that will astound the country and
create demand for a Democratic
administration to clean the Govern
ment workshop.
To win the House we need money
to defray legitimate expenses and
get out our vote. We have no pro-
tected monopolies from which TO
draw to Gil our Golfers, as they do
those Of the Republican party. We
must, therefore, appeal to loyal Dem.
ocrats for contributions.
Will you sebd us 81 az once, and
in return for this we will send you
