ton they are deprived OF a cornered
market in this country they will bolt

Soon We shall have other menaces
Of the same kind. and If the demo
Gratis prove true 10 their pledges we
need not doubt thar there will be
some actual OBJECTIONS. Besides or
ange and lemon democrats, there are
sugar democrats. iron and steel dem
ocrats. zinc democrats and Standard
Oil democrats. Every one Of them
will be angry when his own cherished
graft IS taken out OF the tariff.
II these, were all the democrats the
case would be pretty serious. but they
are not. There are millions OF demo-
Gratis who have no license from gov

there are millions Of republicans who
