what the Mills Fill Means for the
Laboring People.

/. It means cheaper clothing
The Mills bill takes the AK or duty
off from wool. thus reducing the
cost Of WOODEN goods, and enabling
the workingman to huy for the
same price he pays today, clothing

more wool.
2. 1t means cheaper food. The
workingmau now pays IL heavy tax

that he uses. The Mills bill takes
The duty off from salt entirely, and
reduces that on sugar.
8. 1t means cheaper honses. The
home of every mechanic in the land
costs far more than it ought to,
owing to the taxes on the mater
lalS nsed IN it's construction, levied
for the sole benefit of the forest
owners Michigan aud Maine and
the mine owners or the Western
and Middle States. The Mills bill
puts lumber, brick and building
stone on the free lisr, and reduces
the tax OH iron, copper, lead, zinc,
paint, slate, tools. and other arti-
cles used IN building.
4. 1t means less rent to pay
The less the cost Of building, the
more houses will be built, anu in
the market.
5. 1t means more employment

THE REPUBLICAN TARIFF FARCE.

The tariff hill that came before
the Senate Yesterday is simply
fraud and burlesque, When this
campaign opened there was n ru-
NOR that Mr. Blaine and Mr.. Qnay
had advised against any tariff bill
by the Republicans, OF its presen-
tation, at least under circnmstan.

discussion. And although the ru-
NOR was denied az Indicative OF
Republican weakness we now see
that it was true.
