escape just taxation.
Because moneyed men psy only

while the poor men pay 80 per

Because jewelry. luxury for tho
rich, is rated at 25 per cent. while
staple articles of food which is a ne-

should do absolutely nothing. Mr.kan-

put responsibility tor the condition OF
things upon the senate, but. this il re-.
garded as unfair.
The ridiculous plight III which the
republican party now fnds itself is due
wholly to SecGr RObins0n's SHORT t-sight-

naval bill back until the middle oi June,
and 1t was his leadership th 1t caused the
house to send . resolution to the senate

less than week before that day to sea d
