COMPARATIVE STATEMENT CT THE TWO IA
RIFFS. The official government paper has pub
Hshed a comparative statement ofthe old and
new tariff laws, which we think is calculated
to grossly mislead the people, as it gives total
ly erroneous impression of the ad valorem du-
ties under the act of 1912, in almost every
instance, which every practical mechanic and
well informed merchant and business man in the
community, can see at a glance. In fact
the deception is so glaring that we should not
have considered it worthy of notice, had not
certain free trade journal in this city, which
generally cringes at the footstool Of power, and
plays the sycophlnt on all occasions in order
to obtain executive favor, given it publicity and
attempted to impress its deuded readers with its
importance. The mechanics and workingmrn
of Baltimore cannot be too careful of such hum
buggery.

room. In short time Taylor called for ano-
ther drink of sprituous liquor, but the bar

to retire, as he (the bar keeper wished to shut
up. Taylor refused, and the bar keeper NOV
