It Barer was an idea that they wished the people to get into their heads, says the Chicago Chronicle. it is not so ranch an Idea as a fact which is aerfactly well known to the beneficiaries of protection as It Is to free traders, but the former would rather not have the people know It. 5ft Cummins and some other republican leaders in Iowa saw that the farmers and many others suspected the fact, and turned what they saw to their own and their party's political profit But they were careful all the while to protest that they w re protectionists of the strictest Pennsylvania sect.
