MOREHEAD AND BROWER
HOW THEY STAND On THE
ISSUES OF THE ! AY.

Cleveland. sBrower Is for High
Taxes and Special Tax-Bond Morton.
Col. Morehead fovors letting every
mon who wishes, distil his grain and
fruit without a Store keeper and
Gaueer to watch him as provided in
the Mills Bill.
Mr.. Brewer tavors the Senate sub
stitute for the Mills Bill, which says
that the Storekeepers and Gaugers
must be kept to watch the distillers,
and that there should be more of
these Store keepers and Gaugers.
Mr.. Morehead favors the Mills
Bill which forbids cutting up stills.
Mr.. Brewer favors the Senate sub
stitute, which says the stills must be
cut up and destroyed.
Mr. Brewer says upon the stump
that he will vote for the Senate sub
stitute for the Mills Bill. Now what
does the Senate Republican committee
say? See page 4o of their report and
YOU will find out Here it is:
"Your Committee have considered
numerous suggestions for the repeal
of all internal revenue taxes and the
abolition of the entire internal reven-
ue system, but they deem ths adoption
of this course at present both improcti-
cal and uRaoise.'
Now, ifafter this, any Republican
speaker or paper asserts that the Re
publican party favors the repeal of
the Internal Revenue laws, then he Is
either ignorant of how the party
stands, or wilfully misrepresents the
facts, trusting to your ignorance and
want of information not to catch him.
Their report is official, and is above
quoted shows that in their opinion to
repeal these laws IS both Impractical
and unwise."
HOW DO THE CANDIDATES STAND ON
THE TARIFF?
Col. Morehead favors the provisions
of the Mills Bill, which reduces the
tax on clothing, iron, woolen. goods,
and on nearly everything the COM
mon people use. You know you pay
on ten dollars worth of woolen clothes
which you buy for your wife and chill
dren the enormous tariff tax of SIC
dollars and .eucntyfve cents, making
you pay sixteen dollars and seventy
- fve cents for ten dollars worth of
goods.
For every ten dollars worth of iron
you have to pay fourteen dollars.
You pay this enormous tax on plows,
hoes, chains-in fact everything made
of iron.
You pay tariff tax on your hat,
coat, pants and shoes Now where does
this enormous tax go?
The tariff is so very high that it
keeps out Of the country goods from
other countries and leaves you at the
mercy of the Northern manufacturers
of iron, wooden and cotton goods.
They charge whatever they please so
it does not go above the tarif-and
what is the consequence Out OF
every five dollars tax the people pay
upon their clothing, farming tools,
earthen-ware, knives and forks, need
les and thread-in fact upon every
thing they use-only onddolIar of what
they pay as tariff goes into the treas
ury-fsur dollars go into the pockets
of the Northern manufacturers.
Col. Morehead favors the reduction
of these taxes SO that the people may
have their goods at a reasonable price
as provided in the Mills Bill.
Mr.. Brewer favors the Senate sub
stitute, which puts the tor on some OF
these articles higher still.
Col. Morehead is for a peace tax.
Mr.. Brewer is for high war tax.
Since. the Republican Senate refuses
to pass the Democratic Mills Bill, but
insists on retaining the high war tariff
there can be no longer any room for
official and draws the line so plain that
no one can misunderstood.
Now, see the difference
Col Morehead and the Democrats
say that the people should not be com,
PEELED to pay one dollor more of taxes
than is necessary..to run the Govern
ment
Mr.. Brewer and the Republicans
soy that the people must be taxed moi
only to run the Government, but u
help Northern manufacturers rur
their business.
Which is right?
Think:of it. Mr.. Carnegie, an iror
manufacturer, makes fifteen hundred
thousand dollars clear money IN on
gear, and our people are called upor
to contribute cut of their scall hare
earnings to increase his large income.
Is that right? Is it justs IF yol
think SO vote for Mr.. Brewer ant
the other Republican candidates.
If you do not think that is right
then vote for Col. Morehead and th
Democratic. candidates.
The Republicans repealed the take
On manufacturers, railroads, bank
and bondholders The Democrat
say repeal ii. or the common people
That is one of the great difference
between the parties
Don't forget the Republicans
through the. report OF their Senat
COMMITTEES say, they will neither re
duce the taxes on the clotfing.s. ant
other necessaries of life, nor will the,
repeal the internal .revenue laws.
They will not relieve the. peopl
from the grasp of Northern manufac
ture-s,. but try to stab the North Car
olina farmer and the Louisiana fal
mcr.
