every article which the farmer buys.
the price OF which has been snereas-
ed on account of the protective tar

just way that each Republican farm

"a Democratic farmer, both start to the
A city, each with a 500 pound bale or
cotton. When they reach here and
10 find that all of the goods in all or
20 the stores are tagged at one price
=, for Republicans and at another Tor
~ Democrats, and the Republican de-
m mands and is accorded the right TO
% sell his bale of cotton at the present
-, price. while his Democratic neighbor
is REQUIRED to sell his cotton at the
,o price received in 1896, and they both
.b enter the store to make purchases,
- the Republican would hand in his
bo money to the clerk in the store which
IN he received for his 500-pound bale
;s of cotton and say to him that my
he good wife told me to put this bale OF
Id cotton in sugar. and he is told by
