cent labor and per cent material. IL
by free trade you make me build ships
cheaper, where will the cheapening be
done? Certainly not from per cent Of

New York Tribune: A citizen of Buff
falo has inspected the county records
and states that Grover Cleveland, dur
ing his entire life. has paid taxes OR
both real and personal property to the
enormous sum of $160.12. This is con-
siderably less than he hlched from the
county by fraudulent charges when
sheriff, SO that up to date he is ahead of
the county. In 1883 he was assessed for
personal property. and one of his part
ners put in a claim that Cleveland had
moved to Albany and tried to get his tax
off; nor was II paid until the collector
called in November to take possession of
his library in default of payment.
Such are the statements Of the Buffalo
citizen, which, If true, raises the ques-
tion whether the great refOrmer might
not advantageously begin by reforming
; himself.
