These free trade southern Democrats

outvote the northern and western
Democrats who honestly believe in
some measure of protection to
American industry.
But the trouble is that the change
would not come Immediately. First

get acquainted with yourself and see

yourself hard questions about your-
self. Ascertain, from original sources,
il you are really the manner of man
you say you are; and If you are al
ways honest, if you always tell the
square, perfect truth in business de
tails; if your life is as good and up
right at II O'Clock at night as it is al
noon: if you are as good a temper
ance man ON fishing excursion as
YOU are on a Sunday school picnic
if you are as good when you go to th,
city as you are at home; If, in short
are you really the sort of man YOU
father hopes sou are and your sweet
