that the dayafor the old systemSof in

has gone by never to RETURN. and in
Its, place he submits theAnextebest, In
his Judgment.
WillFNct Vote For Old Style Bonds
Any More.
First,-The Socialists and the farmers
voted against the AZ per cent interest
clause, clairning they would pay in inter-
est nifty millions, making a total of one
hundred millions paid in taxes for fifty
millions of roads.
Answer: This amendment proposed
above oyercomes this objection bv

value created and without the aid of
banks: nontaxable; receivable for all
taxes and bills incurred and payable
within the state; to be held as legal re,
serves In state banks in Ohio instead of
AZ per cent interest bonds. The bnr-
den OF the payment of both the princi-
pal and the interest ON these bonds Is
no greater than Az per cent interest
per annum bond is now, but at the end
o. twenty-five years under the present
system you still owe the $1O0,OOO,OOO.

OF 1t would 80 into roads, the other half
into the grafters' pockets, thus gettinp
only twenty-five millions worth of roads
for an outlay of $lOO.OO0,OOO
Second Answer: This overcomes tha
graft by allowing the legislature ot
Ohio to enact a law for the state to
construct bridge, structural, sewer nine
brick, stone, gravel. sand and cement
plants, employ its convict labor to pro
dnce sewer pipe, brick. stone, gravel

Would Be Too High a
Price.

The home market, which in
cludes an area of enormous ex-
tent and a population more than
double that of the United King
dom, has the greatest absorbing
capacity of any on earth, and it
has been preserved in the main
to domestic producers through
protection. This is in harmony
with principle we'll understood
by protectionists-that with a
properly regulated barrier ag-
ainst foreign aggression our in
dustries can develop and the abil-
ity of the people to buy the nee
essaries of life increase and at
the same time we can so perfect
our methods of production that
we can compete successfully with
rivals abroad. So it has turned
out, as is, seen by our growing
exports. The question now is
whether, in efforts to secure a
fancied advantage elsewhere. we
shall deprive ourselves of pro-
lection and thereby surrender to
old-world manufacturers tn e
matchless home market. We
want foreign trade, and under
protection we are getting it, not
only III South America. but in
many other localities. But ex-
tension in those directions would
be purchased at too high a price
if it involved such a sacrifice.
