CuI bono2 The Republican part,
will reform the tariff about the time
the brewers bring about total abstl-
nence. Parson BrownloW said he
woul be a Democrat when queen VIC
toria was content to be divorced from
the prince consort by decree OF a coun-
ty court in the then Territory OF KAN
sas, and the Republican party VIII be-
gin to think seriously OF tariff re
form some quarter of q century AFTER
Ben Tillman shall deliver the ora
ton at the unwilling of a monument
to Collector Crurn, erected by the
white folks of Charleston. :. {. There
was in 1860 more sentiment for the
emancipation of the slaves in the
eleven states hat seceded than there
Is sentiment for tariff reform in the
Republican party in 1907. There We're
emancipationists at the South, thoUs-
andS of them brave soldiers IN the
Confederate. and there are tariff re-
rme in the Republican party-they

No two Of them agree, and If all OF
then agreed the standpatters would not
allow them to bulge a peg. Figs do
not grow on thistles. nor are grapes
gathered from -tnorns. If this country
is in need of tariff revision, 1t must
apply to the party that keeps 1t IN
stock.
Here is Massachusetts, demanding
tariff revision "by the friends of pro-
tectiOn.' She wants the tariff revised
down on hides and revised up on boots
and shoes. Iowa, another Republican
state. also demands tariff revision by
the friends of protection She wants
the tariff on hides revised up and
the tariff on boots and shoes revised
down. Scratch q Republican, who is
for tariff revision, and here is the label
YOU Will reveal:-"I am for free trade
in what have to buy and for pro-
h1DltOry Idfl11 on what / nave lo Stll.
That layout could not revise the
tariff between now and judgment day.
And what a harvest for the Demo-
cratic party if the Democratic party
enjoyed the blessing of personal lib
erty, The Sixtieth Congress would be
Democratic if the club of government
ownership of railroads had not been
supplied the Republican party to beat
or brains out. The next President
would be a Democrat and the ext
Congress Democratic if the Demo-
cratic party had not already been given
ride not to make the tariff para
mount. The last Democratic President
was elected on the tariff issue. The
octopuc has been chased and all that.
Who has put a cheaper rig on his
back or a cheaper mouthful down his
throat? VINO has found living
cheaper? Who has not found it
harder to make buckle and tongue
meet Notwithstanding this prosperity
that is SO boosted?
Why Why? Why? The tariff
which protects the products of labor
that belong to capital, while allow
ing free trade in labor itself that
comes from abroad at The rate Of
100000 per year. But what is the
use? The fiat has gone forth to sub
ordinate the tariff to octopus chasing
and the result will bc the same.
And 50 the Ohio Republicans are
perfectly safe in cutting one moth
