The Democrats say that We should
have lowered the tariff more than we
did. Let us see, The tariff was re-
Guced during the Cleveland admin

got free wool but the people went
in rags we got cheap food, and yet
famine swept tho country and the pal
lid lips of want called I'm vain for
food. And with all the cheaDnesS,
the only things that were really
cheap was the tariff revenue and the
Democratic party"

Uncle Jesse Knight decriod the
llgh tariff in his speeches. he de
sired high tariff on lead because
tnat was a product which the smelter
