provisions of the Republican Party for
protection of the industries of Colo
RADIO. They have continuously preached
against it, and IS late as nine months
ago nearly all of them voted to bring
about the instant reduction Of the

would be forced to compete in foreign
countries with products made with
cheaper labor

party had always been one Of progress,
and he added. Il need only to remind
you of the peace treaties with our for
mer foe which builded the foundations
upon which we have weighed in to an

outlawry of war" he added.
