The People Fully Aroused.

Tbat there is no general demand for tariff literature is not true. The call for tariff speeches delivered in both houses of Congress since the session began is unprecedented. There is a tariff revival going on all over the country. It is in the schools, the factories, mines, shops and farmhouses of the land. It began, in a small way, four years ago, and it had attained large proportions before the Filtieth Congress assembled. The President’s message, which was read in almost every home, intensified the interest, and there will be no pause until the issue of a tariff for protection versus a revenue tariff is Settled. It is the one great question of the times, affecting the pockef of every citizen—the life and the living of every man, woman and child. It cannot be brushed aside or belittled, but will stay on top till one or the other side triumphs. Sprinkle coal ashes on the floors of your poultry-houses; they take up an immense amount of dampness.
