of the tariff and as the passage of the

the mother of trusts nd that nrivate

Demand Tariff Revision.
We believe in a revisicn of the tar-

should be made by the friends of the |
people and not by the friends of the

and upward; that the schedules should |
be so adjusted as to do the least in-
jury to legitimate industries and that
the tariff on all articles
in competition with
by the trusts should be so reduced as
to render such control impossible.
We + demand the suppression of
every combination in restraint of

every illegal trust in this countrr.
