It Je uafe to conclude that the voters In

Free IllOea.
'Congressman Iloberts of Massachu
setts in a speech delivered at Boston
said , "It is safe to assume that at least
seventy members of the present con-
jfress are in favor of free hides. " As
HIT. Jloberts vas evidently talking of
Republican congressmen , free hides
would BGem to be assured jf less than
half , of the seventy are independent
cr.onpb to vote with the Democrats.
But tHepe cbupresstnen who favor free
bl3o. i 'fnnst remember that free coal ,

products are even more important than
? freo hides.
