The Democratic platform has
pledged the people that il they
have the chance they will return
to a tariff tor revenue only, which
is generally spoken OF as free trade
and if that is done, no power on

The theory Of free trade is very
attractive, but it don't work out IN
practice. IL would cheaper the
cost Of living. We all admit that.
But if times are hard and every
thing is cheaper, many will not
have money to buy with even at
the cheaper rate. Farm land
would be cheap. In the Cleve-
land free trade era farms or. real

Free Trade

Within the last two weeks the
citizens of Culbertson have been
privileged to listen to prominent
advocates of the three great parties
who are contending for supremacy
at the coming election on the fifth
day OF next month; Senator Meyers
from the Republican standpoint,
George A. Horkan from the Bull

from the Democratic standpoint.
All three OF these men are what is
known, or was known as insurgents
or progressives in their respective
parties. Meyers and Horkan were
known as lnsurgent or progressive
Republicans and Walsh as pro
gressive Democrat. The words
"insurgent" and progressive"
when coupled with the words
Republican" and democrat"
simply designated the difference
between them and the reaction
aries IN both parties such as Al,
drich in one and Parker in the
other.
These three men, Meyers, hor

they differ at least one vital point
