COMMON BLUNDER ABOUT THE MATCH TAX.
TO me Edftor The Tribune
Sir: The want OF correct information among the
cannot be better exemplifed than by the way
many people have Of speaking about the repeal Of the
match tax. Look at Matches said a Democrat "A
few years ago matches were taxed. without in the
smallest affecting tho rate Of wages. The price
Of matches has been reduced the supply larger, tho
consumption IS greater Why not do the same with
wool"
After this wise Democrat had aired his eloduenco
took from my pocket list OF tariff duties, published
by The Tribune and pointed out to hts great surprise
