truth of this verified.

wisdom Of the world, he showed how far apart

A bill will be introduced in Congress re-
moving the duties upon all the necessaries
of life. As the tariff now collects more
money than the Government has any use
for, why such bill should not be passed is
what no dsinterested man can tell. No
body objects to tax, heavy one if re-
quired, on luxuries, which the rich buy and
can afford to pay for; but why the poor man
should be compelled to pay double price
for almost everything he consumes, is not
easily told by those who believe that this
government is conducted upon democratic
principles Under the present tariff, the
many poor people of this country are out
rageously taxed to increase the profits OF
