of reasonable and fair protection ho

the republican Congress and abolished by

The new banking and currency act
is assailed as sectional In its intent.
with an ill-concealed purpose to In
capital to other states"
The income tax likewise is denounced
as a sectional measure, tending to ex-
tract millions of dollars from a few
PROSPEROUS states in excess of their

principles of freedom of labor and op-
portunity and that protection OF prop
