There is difference between the
republican and the democratic plat

is. Read the platform for yourself.
The republican platform declares
for a continuance of the protective
tariff; the democratic platform de-
declares against protective tariff
aud in favor of tariff for revenue

Everybody does not understand

stand this difference in 1893 closed
great many factories, cut down wag-
es all along the line, put thousands
out of employment and opened a
good many soup-houses.
The tariff of 1893 was the Wilson
tariff, fathered by Professor Wilson,
a Virginia college professor. The tar
if recommended by the democratic
platform this year is supported by
another able and eminent college pro-
! fessor also named Wilson, coming

mans place.
The difference between protective
tariff and tariff for revenue is this:
A protective tariff is, as it's name i'm
