The trusts and manufactures
now want tariff not only for
protection. but for trade. This
is a new idea. A tariff that
would enable them to sell cheap
er abroad than at home without
being detected, and still keep
the monopoly of the home mark
ct for them, would indeed be a
daisy. Democrats want tariff
as a means of collecting reve-
nues, but the trusts and manu-
tacuturers never think of that.

AT SPRINGFIELD

The race war has found another
field for its operations, not in the
South, but in Springfield, Illinois.
the home OF the great emancipator.
where Lincoln first came into politi-
cal prominence as the leader in the
abolition movement. These things
are much TO be deplored wherever
and whenever they occur; but they
teach one lesson, one strong lesson
what the white men OF America are
willing TO do in defence of she honor
and virtue OF the white women of
America. Our wives. mothers and
daughters shall be shielded at all
hazards. God has put them 10 our
keeping and we shall keep them from
all hurt and harm. II possible it is
better, much better that this potec-
tion shall be given them by the law
and under the law. And another
lesson comes from this that the mob.
driven frenzied by the preparation
of this unnameable crime on she vir-
tue and honor Of the white women of
Illinois, is just like that of any
State In Dixie. We may deplore,
may lament, but it is the same in II
hnois as It Is In any State south Of
the Potomac.
