Protection Distributes Wealth.

From Blaine’s Reply to Gladstone, Jan., 1890. In no event can the growth of large fortunes be laid to the charge of the protective policy. Protection has proved a distributor of great sums of money—not an agency for amassing it in the hands of a few. The beneffit of Protection goes first and last to the men who earn their bread »u the sweat of their faces. The action of the Senate in placing binding twine upon the free list is the kind of tariff reform that suits the farmers and promotes the welfare of the Republican party.
