Explodes A Humbug.

From the Washington ID. c. Re
publican May II, 1888 The Hon
Louis E Atkinson, of tine eighteenth
Pennsylvauis district made on Thurs
day a most aggressive tariff speech.
His comparison of the condition of
the country in 1857 and IN 1887 is q
most uusnswerable argument for the
policy of protection In one sentence
Mr.. Atkinson disposed of the whole
cry of free wool reducing the price
of the laboring mans clothing. He
said:
Five or six pounds of wool will make
sufficient cloth for a suit of heavy clothing.
II the wool is worth, ready for making into
cloth, 60 cents pound, the wool that enters
into suit worth SIS to $50 would cost
$3.50. The highest class woods only pay =
duty of IL cents pound. If the duty were
added to the price it would only enhance
the price - cents for an entire heavy suit
of clothes. II the duty were of wool and
~ cents were saved in the cost of each suit,
w much would be saved TO ihe w.sr,r 7
Not one cent. The tritIng difference would
be lost in the course of trade, and would
prop.by be distributed between the manu-
fscturer of the cloth, the joobsr, the whole
sale merchant, the mechanics who made up
the goods, and the clothier from whom the
clothing is AZ least bought
