Under CIeyeland's administra-
ton. a 510-pound bale OF cotton
would buy 800 pounds of sugar. but
now that same bale of cotton will
buy $50 pounds OF trust-made sugar
and yet the Democrats can't see il.
a half truth is the worst lie in the
world. When cotton brings a better

a little. That same 500-pound bale

A written question was submitted
to Mr. Butler asking how high tar
lift affects labor. In answer he said
How is it going to help out manu-
featuring industries to pull down the
tariff wall and food this country
with foreign goods? Foreign labor
is cheap and We can't compete will
it. We live on a higher plain: oul
men get SO day, while the foreign
er gets so cents a day. The polio.
of the Republican party is to have
everybody prosperous, everybody a
work and everybody living on higl

cheap goods in the Old World wher'

he looks with longing eyes to Ameri
