contrary, has many strong protective
tenures'. Probably It will bo Torever
impossible to eliminate protection
from our system. The dispute, then,
Is as to the objects or protection und
the degree of protection. What pro
ducts aim Industries are to receive
this favor, mill to what extent? The
complaint in many or our states is
that the present tariff does not give
fair treatment. Wc think our Pacific
states have not received It. Our pro
duets have been put too liberally on
the freo list, while the products and
Industries of other states still receive
protection. Laws should bo equal,
and if the protective feature- Is to ap
pear at all In our legislation, the
principle or equality should bo studied
and pursued In making up its
schedules. Otherwise, there should
bo no protection, and the system
should be placed on the basis of a
tariff for revenue only.
JJllt WE HAVE NOT A TARIFF FOR
iikvnui: only, nor shall wc have It.
Great Interests In the cast and south
reject it. It cannot be said, then,
that t lie Issue now is whether we shall
return to tho protective system or not
for wo never have abandoned it. It
lias, however, been made unequal.
As to the principle or doctrine of pro
tection there Is no dispute, for the
Democratic party has framed tho
present tariff with a studious purpose
to protect many things. It remains,
therefore, that tho only question be
tween tho parties, us to protective
tariff, is merely a question of details.
This question is not a 'matter to
contend about, In tho presenco of the
grave Issue that the crusado for
change of the monoy standard has
forced upon the country. Why quar
rel over tho extent or degree of pro
tection, In tho fnce of such a danger?
We could get on with tariff Tor rov
emie, with free trade, or with any
system of protection, without disas
ter; but we could not make this
chance of money standard without
inconceivable disorder to all Industry
and business, attended by wholesale
bankruptcy and followed by introduc
tion ot a permanent system under
which our working people, paid with
money or Inferior value, never would
1'ave their former opportunities for
accumulation and independencec.
This would put the whole life or our
People on a distinctly lower piano
heretofore. It is not necessary to say
tliat the Republican party Is com
mitted to piotectlon. That Is under
stood. Its success undoubtedly would
mean some revision or the tariff laws,
and such revision is demanded in tho
interest or fairness and equality. But
Tms is not the main question; nnd

found tho ball and rapped It ror
seven tallies, and the Monograms
weren't "In It" from that time to
tho end, ulthough they had three

"There may be some doubt about

Bryan, almost to a man. Tho fact
that Bryan stands upon n Democratic

Having given utterance- to these
words, ho walked towards tho edge or
