The Tariff Issue.

voters Y understand, the Question
OF high or low tariff is the real fact
at issue. That plain issue everyone

trusts and the manufacturers from
foreign competition, and the question
OF raising revenue for the govern

TO- supply their own consumers. but
tney do not want our manufactured
goods to compete with their own like
