cIares for the Protection of

lot about the farmers throughout the

They are not complaining of the high
prices Of butter, or eggs, or cattle, but
about farm machinery. Those are the
things they have to buy. They want
protection for their hides and their
wool, but they want the tariff off farm
implements. But you MUST protect all
Industries IL you protect one. You
must give me protection it you want
me to give you protection.
when you strike down the protec-
tive tariff you strike down the very
foundation Of the country. II the tariff
is taken off, men and women will be
out Of employment and crying for food
before very long"
Changing his subject Mr.. Miller adj
dressed the young men in the assembly.
He told them not to be content all their
lives with a clerkship that would pay
them only $1,000 to 81 400 a year. Get
out and become factors in the world s
progress. Leave your mark where you
CO.. he said.
Speaking of organized work in churches,
he illustrated how great an influence a
single preacher could have on the world.
He advised them to preach the old
fashioned gospel. Don't try to catch the
crowd with an up-to-date sermon. Give
them the good. old-fashioned doctrine"
