TO THE WHEEL.
Pertinent Resolutions Passed by
the Merchants Of Buffalo.

-
The following resolutions have
bt,en passed by the merchants of
Baffalc, Mo-, and directed to the
Agricultural Wheel:
LIST. We appreciate and esteem
All organization calculated to pro-
mote the interest and welfare of
the farming and laboring commun-
ity, and on their prosperity, COM
merce, and the general welfare de-
ponds.
End. That concentration of any
ore branch of industry, trade. COM
merce or capital, is calculated to
build up m~onopolies beneficial to
the few and detrimental TO the
general welfare and interests of the
poor and laboring classes.
Bird. We believe the present
system of commerce wise and ecop-
critically conducted.
4th. That a demand OH the part
of the Farmers Alliance for a uni
form system ofper cents. TO be plac-
ed on articles Of luxury, fancy or
ia ste, to bear the same tax as those
of necessaries of life would only
prove more burdensome TO the
poor and hard working classes,
with a tendency to destruction Of
the legitimate flow of trade.
9th. We believe business con-
Quoted on the principles required
by your organization has a tenden-
cy to be unhealthy, dishonest and
illegitimate trade.
9Th. We pledge ourselves to up
hold, maintain, and further, honest,
upright, straightforward and legiti-
mate business, conducted on bust
ness principles. That we denounce
extortion and fraud from whatever
source it may eminate.
9TH. II is the sense Of the mer-
chants of Buffalo, that their pur-
pose shall be at all times TO render
full value to the producer for every
thing placed on the market, and
nothing shall have a, tendency to
combine or conflict in any shape or
form to crowd out competition,
"the life preserver of commerce."
Sth. We pledge ourselves to
keep up the reputation of our town
as an attraction for the trade in the
future as in the past, and heartily
solicit the cooperation of your
honorable organization to assist ms
in making Buffalo the best inland
town of Missouri.

TERSE r TALKS.
A Bunch Of Good Items for Work
ingmen to Read.

The present tariff protection on
ron is s44 for every 800 of iron
manufactured here. The labor
cost in making 500 worth of iron
ore is { separately taxed is S25.
The Mills bill makes but rs cents
per ton reduction on iron.
Bessemer steel is protected over
SAG in every 500 worth of. steel
manufactured, and the labor cost
of producing it in the steel mill
is 50.
Soap is protected $40 in every
$160 manufactured, and the labor
cost of producing it is SO.
Linseed oil is protected s35 in
every 500 manufactured, and the
labor cost of producing it is IS.
Envelopes are protected $40 in
every 500 manufactured and the
labor cost is S11.
Salt is protected s33 in every
500 produced, and the labor cost
is $25.
Nails are protected 1888 in every
500 produced, and the labor cost
is $22.
Wool is protected SAL in every
500 produced, and the labor cost
is not IS.
TINS taxed $24 in every 500
consumed, and we do not produce
tin-plate at all.
Paper bags are protected 500 in
every 500 produced, and the
labor cost is S15.
These articles are all common
necessaries of life or of business,
and all of them are protected by
the Mills tariff bill largely above
the labor cost of production here
on the basis of good wages to labor,
excepting tin, salt and wool, which
are made free.
Wool is made free to enable our
WOODEN industries to double their
home product, to give increased
wages to labor, increased profits
to capital, and 20 per cent. cheaper
woolens to consumers.
Tin is made free because we have
no labor engaged in its manufac-
ture, and because a tax upon it is
a needless tax upon the common
~necessaries of every workingman
of the land.
Salt Is made free because it is
used in every family, rich and
poor, and because tariff taxes on il
have bred an extortionate
monopoly trust that robs every
table in the entire country.
The wages of American labor
should be fully protected by our
tariff laws, and all tariff taxes be-
yond the protection of wages of
workingmen are simply protection
to monopolies which employ free
trade cheap labor and give Ameri-
can labor high taxes and low
wages.
