ke fools paradise in which live if we do not look for
ward and see this approaching danger
Manufacturers products and the producers the farms of
Europe will seek the rich American market and
their level in price unless are prepared
On this political parties absolutely and clearly
divided.
The Republican party stands for the protection of the American
