BE TAXED? 4 The question of imposing higher | tariff taxes upon wool or of repeal. | ing all duties on that raw material, is now before the House. One party, with few exceptions, SHOULD WO demands, by amendment cffered to the pennding tariff bill, that the duties of 1867 shall be restored, which would impose a tax of abont 165 per cent. on the cheaper grades of woolen goods. Tho other party, peal of all tax upon wool aod its free admission in the interest of our woolen manufacturers and labor, We now tax our home consumers of woolen products 58 per cent | ostensibly to protect our woolen in dustries and give them our home market. If we thereby obtained { our home market it might be wise to tax the workingman 58 cents of | every dollar of the wages he exe thid excessive taxation give us our i home market ? On the contrary, our highly pro pends for woolen goods, but does tected woolen manufacturers and | Lour overtaxed woolen consumers, give our home woolen mauufactu- | rers and labor only 52 per cent. of our home market, while Egope comes in and supplies 48 per cent, of it Why is this so? The reason is as plain as the un- yaghty leader | a | the | 5 1 with few exceptions, favors the re- | exorbitantly taxed for his raw ma- terials that even with a 58 per cent. tax imposed upon consumers of tal and labor, Europe can pay the high tax and compete with us in our home markets, With free wool and reduced tax- woolen manufacturers could reduce the costof woolensto consumers not less than 20. per cent; they could woolen goods, to protect our capi- |2 ; ‘ money has been paid out in pensiong PRIVATE PENSION BILLS.

In it he makes these sound observations: The tariff laws must be reformed on a just, honest and fair basis. The monopolist and the trust must give up their extortions The public rev. enue must be adjusted to meet the demands of the public debts. For these a tax on imports is absolately necessary. The necessaries of the inasses must be made to bear the least of the share, even if the greed of classes is destroyed.” p———— | % Tux Devocrar for £1.00 a year of for 25 vets wat after the election,
