telling speech in the House at Wash
ington, about the Aldrich. Payne Tariff
Act, that the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon.
another distinguished North CAROLYN
an, might be able to use with good
effect in his present fight for his no
sitical life; not because we think that
lis political life should be saved, but
BECAUSE we object to the character and
Methods of his eXecutioners.
Mr.. Cannon will find 1litchin,s
peech in the democratic Campaigns
look for 1870" strange as it may
eem. He cannot afford to use all of
in his defence, because it contains n
itlless exposure of the utter crooked
ess of the Republican tariff legisla- |
on; but he will find good many |
hunks of truth in 1T about his pres |
ut defamers which show that he was
ally their instrument in carrying out
ne plans which they now think
iould condemn him to death. If ne
lould pass out of political life for
hat he has done, they should all go
18th him; for Cannonism is Republi-
nism. This is part OF what Mr.
itchin said, speaking to the Republi- |
n side of the House:
You know and we know that tho
seaker represents and typiies Ike po-
& ical sentiments and principles of
pre- than three -fourths of the Repun
an membership in this House and in
Senate. He stood with YOU on the
ssage of the Aldrich-Payne act. He
inds, and SO do four-fifths of you,
a tariff wall behind which to shell
the trusts in plundering the PEG.

o the Federal Treasury and take
peoples contributions to satisfy

G stees to defeat or enact measures

of its membership in Congress for
last ten years. These policies,
