prospects OF Demo-
cratic Victory
Along the
Line.
The election to occur on the 9Th of
November prox., is now engrossing the
attention of the country, and its bearing
on the welfare Of the people nationally,
! territorially and locally, is matter
worthy of the most serious consideration.
The National Contest.
| In the great national contest now be-
ing waged, wherein the interests Of the
people are pltted against those Of the
monopolist, the former being represented
by the democratic party and the latter by
the republican, it is pleasing to note that
the prospects Of victory for the peoples
party is decidedly cheering. The most
reliable reports from New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana, "pivo-
tai" states, are to the effect that the dem
ocracy is certain to carry all Of them,
with favorable chances in Michigan, Ne
VIDA and California. The fight for good
government, just and reasonable taxation
and faithful administration of the nations
affairs, is going bravely on all along the
line and the sun will surely go down on a

all dutiable goods il now AZ cents on the
dollar. That is, the consumer must pay
an average tax of AZ cents on every DOL
lars worth of imported goods he pur-
chases. But he likewise pays this tax on
all domestic goods Of the same class be-
caus. the tariff enables the home manu-
facturer to add AZ per cent. to the price
of his wares. In other words, we pay Al
cents tax and So cents cost and profits on
every article of consumption, excepting
the few unimportant articles that have
been graciously left on the free list. The
gathering of this enormous tax results in
the piling up monthly of many millions Of
dollars more than is necessary to conduct
the affairs Of the government, none,
wrongfully taken from the people and the
circulating medium of the country. There
is now in the treasury surplus Of $3.50,
100000, which is daily increasing, being
Mt once the evidence of legalized robbery
upon the people and menace to oul
national welfare.
