a progressive republican? lYou may
consult q map for the purpose. Of
assisting youto arrive at the answer.
In view Of all past history Of leeisla.,
ton along this line will this agree
ment pass congress at this session?
If so, will 1t put our representatives
in congress out of the lines of the
protection camp and thus enable,
them to join such faction here and
there as will compel compensatory.
reductions on the articles we buy?
Have you heard anyone claim that
this agreement should be passed as a
measur granting the greatest, good
to the greatest number? Does this
infer that<it is not. good for some of
US? Who do they mean? Ought
we to support It for that.reason-a as

laurels have been any less if he had

enough so that the people who were
not in immediate touch with them
would accredit them with knowing
