Free Trad.Vs Protection.

Uncle Zeb, an ardent free trader and cross roads statesman, was denouncing protection with all the arguments he could muster. “I’ll bet, Uncle Zeb.” interrupted one of the crowd, “that you are a protectionist, after all.” “I’ll bet I ain’t,” shouted the old man, warmly. “Come, now. How am I a protectionist!" “Why, you protect your system from spring and summer complaints by taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.” When the laugh subsided. Uncle Zeb replied with a grin, “Well, yes; I’ll allow that to that extent I am a protectionist, because I believe that Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is the best blood medicine ever made, not only for spring, but for all seasons.” He—The outlet is cold again, darling. Now what would you do if I scolded just a little? She—Make it hot for you, dearest. Bronchitis is cured by frequent smal doses of Piso’s Cure for Consumption. □ Old smokers prefer “Tansill’s Punch,”
