bot be an issue In this campaign.
While Independent or so-called 'insur-

fused to betray the American people,
were being read out of the party. and
The federal patronage was being taken
from them, the Detroit congressman
was basking In the smiles OF Cannon

"The new tariff law. of which my
friend boasts. should have been en-
Fitted, An act to rob the American
consumer" instead of An act to pro-

which some manufacturers admitted
were too high already?
"Will you explain why you joined
hands with the Cannon-Aldrich ma
thine To prevent the promised reduc-
lion OF the tariff?
why did you vote for high tariff
in potatoes. butter. eggs, poultry,
gloves. stockings, underwear-in fact,
almost everything that the American
people eat and wear?
And while you were voting to make
Dc harder for US to live, why did you
make II easier for us to die. by putting
hrsenic on the free list, and reducing
The terfff on tomb stones?
These things will keep you busy
for awhile, without trying to put your

Ito write some of the most important
schedules of the Payne-Aldrich-Sm oot
