We have received the following ap

Would this be true of all things now

OF protection. The Democratic party
does not believe that he needs any
such rate Of protection. The labor
cost OF production in this country IA
little more than It 10 in Europe in
any limo. and in many lines 1t is much
less. In the last fiscal year we az.
ported more than a billion dollars,

July more than half of the EXPORTS

As this. The employees in our machine
shops get better wages than the men
IN foreign machine shops, and vet we
exported machinery to the value Of

VI course, the Democratic party
does not believe that lowering duties

our people out Of employment II II
