had been vindicated and calidated."
He says OF projections: THE worst
feature of protection is the demoraliza-
tion of our political ideals. We have
based government upon patronage and
privilege instead of upon justice and
equality"
He says of the tariff. THE tariff lies
at the bottom of much of the trust ques-
tion. 1t is behind the shelter of the
tariff wall that the trusts have been able
to build up a system by which they have
all but shut the door upon Independent
enterprise"
And of how to handle the tariff, he
says We are to act upon the funda-
mental principle Of the Dem ocratic
party; not free trade, but tariff for rev
enue. And We have got to approach that
by such avenues by such stages, and at

Easy on the woman and easy on the
clothes.
That's why progressive women are
washing their clothes with Fels-Naptha
in cool or lukewarm water, in summer or
winter.
It's easy on the woman because it
does away with fires for heating water,
makes hard rubbing unnecessary and
takes less than half the time of the old
way of washing.
It's easy on the clothes because there
is no boiling to make the clothes tender,
and no hard rubbing to wear them into
holes before their time.
Save yourself; save your clothes-use
Fels-Naptha.
Costs little money for big cake, and
lasts longer than ordinary soaps.
In using it follow directions printed
on the red and green wrapper.
