tariff. and its benefcent effects .were mani

The statement Of Mr.. Cleveland that the
tariff Is added 10 the original cost OF the

tariff shows that 20 be false. II II IS true
that the purchaser does not paw the tariff,
then the whole Democratic argument fails.
I DEFY any one TO name an article that is
not sold cheaper than il was before the
tariff was adopted. A manufacture OF
wire. employing 900 men. told me that be-
fore the tariff was adopted the average wages
Of bis men was 81 30 per day. Now ne
pays an average Of 3 40 while the price of
