oyory democrat in congress had stood
'by tho demands of the Denver plat
form there would bo no such dis
cussion among us today. The dis
cussion has brought out a now school
of domocratB. They tell us to put

sible, but make It no higher on any
than would invito and permit gen
uine competition between tho homo
and forolgn products, and thus no
highor than the rate that would pro

Lincoln, Neb.
producer of each of them and they
combine and clamor for more inci
dental protection until you get more
and more prohibitive protection and
less and less accidental revenue, and
so tho tariff stands today by tho
avowod purpose of the republicans
for protection first and rovenue last
and least; and tho greatest hindrance
in tho way of an income tax today
is tho. fear that it. will kill protec
tion. I know all this. Other men,
liko Mr. Bailey, seem not to know
it. I have seen Louisiana on account
of sugar, lumber and rice turn pro
tectionist to the core, and she would
be republican today, but for the ract
problem, I firmly believe. I have
seen California in spite of her Chi
nese and Japanese problems, which
would have made her democratic,
stand by tho republican party on ac
count of the high protection for her
oranges, lemons and lumber. I saw
a democrat of Florida stand on the
floor of congress and heard Jhira de
clare, while he denounced Bryan,
that he would vote for any protective
feature o the Payne bill, provided
it gave him all the duty he wanted
on bananas and pineapples.
1 saw two democrats from Mis
souri last year lose their seats to
two republicans because Mr. Cannon
wont into their districts and told
their people that the republicans
would give them tho duty they want
ed on zinc if they would elect repub
licans to congress, and as a result
tho duty on zin? was doubled, and
last month only twelve cars of zinc
or,e were shipped from Mexico into
the United States, instead of 190
cars per month. as heretofore, with
'loss of revenue to the government
and increased prices of zinc products
to the people.
Hell never devised a means to
breed corruption and to tempt the
virtue and fidelity to principle of a
people equal to protection. The re
publicans would keep protection
alive, therefore they bring all the
classes they can under its fold to
give it strength and life. T would
kill it, and therefore T would take
all the classes I can without its pale,
to destroy its strength and give It
death.
"For," in the words. of tho great
est of all tho apostles, "I mean not
that' other men bo eased and ye
burdened."

ments increasing the pay of legisla

federal officials of the territory, in
cluding' the governor, justices,
judges, district attorney and mar

proposed amendments to the land
laws, designed to ericouraee homo-
steading. The governor desires to
restrict to sixty acres the area of
public land that may be taken up by
one person; to prevent aliens apply
ing for homesteads; to enforce resi
dence on the land taken' up and to
provide for the distribution of lots
by lottery instead of by the former

the legislature will pass an act on
these lines for submission to p.nn.
gress. Its approval by that body
win do followed by a general open
ing of public lands on the island."

Why Not Economize
When insuring your life by select
ing a company which Insures at tho
lowest cost to the policyholder of
any company? Yes, there is a differ
ence in life insurance companies
and a discriminating applicant will
choose that company which will af
ford him absolute safety, liberal
policy conditions and low cost. It
is because tho UNION CENTIIAL
has earned the .highest rate of Inter
est on Its Investments, for over a
quarter of a century, and has expe
rienced a vdry low death and ex
pense rato that it can insuro at tho
lowest cost.
