Hon. 5. T. Randall, Chairman of the
National DamOcraGc Congressional Com
mittce having called on Hon. James
Brooks. as a member OF the Ways and
Means Committee, TO reply to the circular
on the reduction of taxes issued by Hon.
Henry Wilson, as Chairman of the Re
publican Congressional Committee, he has
published that the reply of Mr.. Brooks
states that the reduction is not as much
bv 30. 900, 600 or 40, 600, 600 as the Demo
Gratis would have made if in power; that
what reduction has been made in the tariff
has been in the interest of capital, rather
than of labor, and that the Senator from
Massachusetts, may be content with it,
while the West and Sonth cannot be, as
the reductions have all been made in the
interest of capital These allegations are
fortified by statistical tables.
Mr. Wilson will doubtless reply.
