acquired such strength and perfection
as will enable them subsequently,, un-
aided to stand against foreign COMPETE

The time when the manufacturers
acquired the strength and perfection
spoken of by Clay has long ago past,
but the Republican party has found
the manufacturers so beneficial totheir
organization by furnishing campaign
funds in unlimited amounts to cor

have found it necessary to it's very

tariff and though they may admit the
necessity of reducing the tariff in the

way to get tariff reform III the interest

for she can claim the distinction of
having given the first meet of its kind

The assertion that the idea origin

decidedly erroneous. For some years

fact that our interscholastic meets

on the part of some members. Two
