Friend of MonopoIIsts,

It is of common knowledge and 1t
has been for more than a generation
an open scandal that the protected in.
terests have paid the Republican par
ty in campaign contributions for en-
acting the tariff schedules they de.
sired. The Republicans have not only
taken this money, but they have in.
cisted on having it. In 1890 the rep
resentatives Of the protected inter
ests in congress gave votes to pass
the silver coinage bill in exchange for
votes Of the silver men tor the Nc.
Kinley tariff

That's Stage Coach Charley. He's
in a peculiar predicament. He went to
town last week and got his teeth
fixed. Then he came here, and, bein'
broke, ran up a bill on the strength OF
his seven dollars worth of gold film.

No Real "Protectlon."

This country produces its W coal,
and exports many times more than 1t
imports. The duties on breadstufs
may retard the free flow of grain over
the Canadian border, and may some
times affect local prices temporarily,
but In all food products we are an ex-
porting nation, and prices are deter
mined In the markets Of the world.
Nothing is really protected" by these
sentimental duties.
