Free w hisky. 81

Mr.. Mills, in Congress, and the Demo
cratic press generally, have Slightly over
shot the mark in charging the Republican
platform with favoring free whisky. The
resolution relating to internal revenue
adopted at Chicago is as follows:
"The Republican party would effect all
needed reduction of the national revenue
by repeating the taxes upon tobacco,
which are al annoyance and burden to
agriculture, and the tax upon spirits used
in the arts and for mechanical purposes,
and 10y such revision of the tariff laws as
will tend to check import of such articles
as are produced by our people, the prOLuc-
tion of which gives employment to our
Iaborers, and release from import duties
those articles of foreign production lex
cept luxuries) the like Of which can not tie
produced at home. If there shall still re.
main larger revenue than is requisite for
the wants of the Government, 7re favor the
entire repeal of internal tdIes rather than
the surrender of any part of our protective
system Ut the joint beheSt of the whisky
trusts and the agents of foreign man
ufacturerS."
This is the text which the Democrats
comfort to mean free whisky, and appeal
to the temperance people to oppose the
Republicans because of it.
Now let us see what the Indianapolis
Prohibition National Convention resolve
on the same subject. Here it is:
"U). For the immediate abolition of the
internal revenue system the tax Oh whisky
and tobacGo] whereby on: National Govern
ment is deriving support from our great
est nal ional vice.
"(2). That an adequate public revenue
being necessary, it may properly be raised
by import duties land by an equitable as
sessment upon the property and the legiti-
mate business of the country; but import
duties should be so reduced that no surplus
shall be accumulated in the Treasury,
and that the burdens of taxation shall be
'e,noued from foods clothing and other
comforts and accessories of life"
If the Republican declaration. as above
quoted, is for free whisky" what is to be
thought of the announcement of the Pro-
hibitionits themselves? Our Democratic
friends should look before they leap.

In its Money and Business" review

with business at a lower ebb than at an,
other time for several years. Prices de
cline and Idle money accLmulates; fail
show decline in the volume of business
transacted, and a great strike of iron
workers commenced. Meanwhile Con.
gress continues its work ON tariff Iii
which is recognized in all parts of the
country as an important ca use of depreS-
sion. and the crop prospects again appear
somewhat less favorable.
