trade. The Democratic platform wants
to tear down the tariff wall, which
means that our labor must suffer as
we'll as all agricultural and indus
trial industries. The Republicans pro-
pose to adjust the tariff, cut 1T down
where it is now too high, but in doing
so will fully protect our own labor.
We have had protective tariff since
