democratic members Of congress voted
aitlrmatively upon the consideration of

mlscreant democrats voted against
bringing the question up for debate.
For the protection Of favored

entire population of 55,00OOO0 Every
dollar of the duties on imports is
paid by consumers. The average duty
on imported goods is about II per cent.
and the cons umer pays this. Without

the government collects from consumers
nearly 800, 600 900 more than it needs to
protect the rich few at the expenses Of
the masses. In other words. ~ addition
to the many millions pxapipd Trn,n ,b,

the government further Expresses the
people by collecting 800, 000. 600 annu-
