Pa our State for the protection of
.har? He did not and he could not,
for the record is blank. In short,
the record of Mr.. Pou's party in the
-fatn Of North Carolina on these
uucstions has been as ineffective and
Incompetent as was the record of the
.agt Democratic administration on
.rcat national questions.
~ Mr.. Pou, in discussing the
.ariff, said that the Republican tariff
.aw and other Republican laws were
20 framed as not to put money in the
treasury of the United States, but to
lax the people and put the money
taken from the people in the treas
.rfcs Of the great trusts. II this
.fatement Is true in any respect, OF
even to the least extent, then how
much more did the Democratic tarif1
law take money out of the pockets
Of the people and it IN the pockets
Of the trusts; for everybody will ad
nit that the people are not now I'M
der the burden of debt and mort
cages and with empty pocketbooks al
they we're then, but that the Demo
cratic mortgages have been paid of
and the people now have comfort
in their homes and money in tn
bank.
Mr.. Pou further Indignantly de
MED the statement of President Tai
that the present tariff law is the bes
. one the country ever had. 1t
noticeable, in this connection, tina
Mr.. POu did not dare to say tina
the WilsOn-Gorman tariff law wa
the best the country ever had. Sc
if this present Republican law is nc
the best, then the best is some Re
publican law and the worst is tn
Democratic law.
CD Mr. Pou next complains ths
the dollar buys less to-day tina
ever BEFORE" and proceeds to d.
Rounce the Republican party for tn
crime against society. Let us analyz
this grievOus charge which Mr.. Pc
makes against the Republican part
which is such a crime against mai
kind. Mr.. Pou complains that TT
utlldI DuyS lOO llILIS, dIu buS NJ
now than ever before. Then NJ
POu unquestionably wants the doll;
to buy a great deal and would lii
to see it buy more now than eV'
before To illustrate: He would Ill
for 81 to buy rs pounds Of cotton
the rate of 4 cents a pound, while
il did under the Cleveland adml
istratiOn, and all other products
proportion. The wealth producers
the country have to buy dollars wi
what they produce. Therefore VIII
the wealth producer has to give mo
pounds of cotton, more bushels
corn and wheat and oats, more be
and pork, more eggs, chickens, a.
turkeys for the dollar, then he is
able to get enough dollars with
toll and his products to pay his tax
school his children, support his ia
lily. and hence the mortgage goes
Tie farm, never to be lifted as 10
as Mr.. Pou's dear dollar reigns
the wealth producer slaves.
Mr. Pou wants a dear dollar
cheap man Mr.. POu's position
The position of every gambler a
money changer on the face of
earth. The money changers Il
Christ found in the temple were
a dear dollar and a cheap m
When we had the dear dollar
the cheap man under the Clevela
administration, then we had busin
stagnation and hard times from {
end of the country to the other.
(4 The next charge which
Pou makes against the Republic
party as being a grievous cri
against humanity, is 1.-The high {
Of living" Indeed, this seems to
the new Democratic paramount
which they are pinning their Il
IN the coming campaign.
The Democratic party has got
