the American producer, business
man, worker and farmer, alike We
hrmly believe that at the close of the
great European war, now pending,
the necessity of the restoration of the
protective policy of the Republican
party will be absolutely imperative
or else the wages of our workmen,
the manufactures of our people, the
products of our farmers, will be at
the mercy of the cheap labor and
cheap products of foreign nations
and that poverty and disaster will
prevail in these United States.

has greatly increased and is con-

to reduce the cost of living to the
lowest possible price consistent with
prudent business management and
the American standard.
