have witnessed In my life, more than
once, the Industries OF my country
flourish under protection, and have
seen them paralyzed under Democratic

spots He wants the industries of has

assumed in the consideration OF our

tariff this coming campaign the Demo-
cratic speakers will appeal to the mag

recollection. They will sock to vindi-
