Where did Congressman Miken get that
silly story which he tells about Prof. Sumner
of ! ale college and the farmer. The former is
represented as discourSing to the latter upon
the eXactonS of the present tariff, and telling
him that il levied six cents per yard upon every
yard of cotton cloth he consumed in his family
TO whom the latter is represented is replying
that that was impossible, as the cloth cost but
five cents. This is intended TO being out a loud
guttaw from the audience aud it is excessively
funny; but unforternately it has no facts be-
hind it. There is no specific duty on common
cotton cloths and Prof. Sumner is Republic
can. prog. Age.
If the editor of the Age had attentvely read
the Congressional Record Mr.. Milliken sent
him he would have known that this story was
told in the last L. S. House of Representatives
by one of the most prominent and distinguished
Democrats of the country. If this intelligent
editor will look at Sec. 2504 of the tariff prior to
1851 he will discover that the duties on cotton
yard and ID cts. advalorem, and if he will look
under schedule Of the present tariff, (the taril
of lSS3) he will find that the duties on cotton
cloth are from - cts. per yard to > cts. per
yard and from that to 40 per cent advaorem.
mo specific duties on common cotton cloth?'
Is the Age man grossly ignorant, or does he
presume upon the ignorance of his readers aud
seek to mslead them by the most glaring false
hoods about the commonest matters. AS to
Prof. Sumner he is pronounced free trader
and because he is II free trader he supports

Our Congressman, Mr.. Milliken, should be
Giles added TO the free list In the Morrison tariff
bill. Abiding to our Maine industries which
he said the bill Wuuld destroy, he specified
wood and lumber, hay, lime and g,'tnits. 1t is
news that Maine granite was ever on any other
than the free list. Prog. Age.
Mr.. Milliken said nothing of the free list. He
said that the Morrison tariff bill struck at most
all the industries of Maine, its hay, potatoes,
wheat, lumber, starch and granite, ETC.; and
that it does. The industries which it does not
place on the free list, it reduces the duties upon
20 per cent. If it is news to the Age that
granite was ever on any other than the free list,
it is probably not news to almost every other in
telligent citizen of Maine. 'Stone unmanufac-
tured or undressed, free stone, graatte and all
monumental building stone except marble, not
specially enumerated or provided for in this
act, one dollar per ton" is the language of
Par. lS7 Of Schedule n of the tariff of 1888.
Would it not be well for the editor of the Age
to read the tariff laws before proceeding fur
ther to instruct the people upon them. Ger
tainly he who denies what almost every school
boy knows, that there is duty upon cotton
cloth and granite, would seem to need instruc-
ton before attempting to teach others.
