he gets his price from the American importer.
The American manufacturer! No, he makes
his price as nearly as he can, what the foreign
manufacturer charges. Who pays the tax
thenr Well, you do, for one. You pay it on
almost everything you buy. You pay it cent
by cent and dollar by dollar You pay the
fraction OF a cent on the tin'plated iron spoon
with which you stir your cOrnmeal, boiled into
what IS called "suppawn" in New York, "hasty
pudding In New England and "mush" in the
rest OF the United States. You pay a dollar,
perhaps on your pillow, and five or ten dollars,
II may be, on your moving machine or your
thrasher. You pay a cent on the felt hat that
keeps the sun of your head all the long sum-
mer days; you pay from one TO ten dollars on
the clothes you wear. Cent by cent, dime by
dime, dollar by dollar, this tax is collected out
ofyour daily, weekly, monthly, yearly expenses.
You will be told we suppose, that il is your
duty TO pay this tax, for the good of the coun-
try. Judge for yourself how far it is for the
good OF the country by a simple study of easily
accessible figures. OF you who are engaged in
agricultural operations there are in this eoun-
try more than 100000. OF those engaged in
trades or manufactures which subject them TO
foreign competition, the highest official esti-
mate is under g06,000. So that you 1870, 600
are taxed to support 906000 And of those
100000 how many receive their fair proportion
OF the tax you pay? We cannot tell you. But
you can see for yourselves that every year
thousands of workmen employed in ''pro-
tected" industries are camoring for higher
wages, and Striking" to get them. Don't you
think it would pay you TO find out where your
money goes?

WHO WANT TAXED wooL1
Not the Wool Growers, as Shown by the
Record.

philadelphia Times-lnd.1
Texas has 4.5OO,OOO sheep and her entire del
egatiou in congress-eleven in all-voted for
the free-wOol tariff bill.
Pennsylvania has $4,000 sheep and cast
twenty votes against the free-wool tariff and SIX
in favor of it.
Michigan has 100000 sheep and cast five
votes for the free-woOl tariff and SIX against It.
Rhode Island has 10000 sheep and cast her
solid vote of two against a free-woOl tariff.
Minnesota has 100000 sheep and cast four
votes, including one republican, Tor free-Wool
tariff and one against IL.
Missouri has 100000 sheep and cast twelve
votes for a free-wool tariff aud two against 1t.
Massachusetts, has 10000 sheep and cast
eight votes against free-wool tariff and four
in favor OF II.
Georgia has 10000 sheep and cast a solid
vote of ten in favor of a free-wOol tariff.
Maine has $4,000 sheep and cast q solid vote
OF four against free-wOOl tariff.
North Carolina has 100000 sheep aud cast
seven votes for free wool tariff and two
against il.
New Hampshire has 100000 sheppard cast a
solid vote of two against a free wool tariff.
Tennessee has 100000 sheep and cast eight
votes for free wool tariff and two against it.
Indiana has 100000 sheep and cast six votes
for free wool tariff and seven against it.
Illinois has 100000 sheep and cast fourteen
votes against a free wool tariff and six In its
favor.
Arkansas has 900. 600 sheep and cast a solid
vote of five in favor of free wool tariff.
Alabama has 100000 sheep and cast a solid
vote of eight in favor of free wool tariff.
These facts, exhibited By the vote on the new
tariff bill in the house on Saturday, certainly
show that the demand for taxed wool does not
come from the wool growers, but from partisan
sustain monopoly control Of taxation upon
consumers.

One victim of the High Tariff.

Israel G. Whitney, Merchandise national
bank: He did not hesitate to declare what his
political affiliations had been and were. de
was a convert from republication to the sup
port OF Mr.. Cleveland in lSS4-'a mugwumP
then, if you will, he added, "but an out-and-
out democrat now, and made one by the poll.
tics of the parties in regard to the tariff"
Through the high protective tariff he had seen
his business as a foreign importer-the business
of Whitney Bros. d Co., Boston and Calcutta
crippled and diminished until it was nearly
ruined. If the retort should be made-it often
was made-that true policy was one which
protected those engaged IN oOnesrrc industries
and not in foreign importati0ns, he would reply
that he and thousands of others in the United
States, occupied with similar business, nad al
least some claim to consideration; and, more
over, he and they had been extensive owners
of vessels, which now. because OF the protec-
tive tariff, had rotted in idleness He also
held the protective tariff responsible for the
existence Of huge and inequitable monopolieS
like the sugar trust For such reasons he was
a tariff reformer and democrat full.tledgeo-
because it was the democratic party which
sought to reduce the tariff.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
What the Chicago Convention said on the
Tariff Question.


We are uncompromisingly in favor of the
American system OF protection; we protest
against its destruction as proposed by the pres
ident and his party. They serve the interests
of EurOpei we will support the interests of
America. We accept the issue, and confidently
appeal to the people for their Judgment The
protective system must be maintained. Its
Abandonment has always been followed by
general disaster Of all interests except those OF
the usurer and the sheriff
We denOunce the Mills bill as destructive to
the general business, the labor and the farming
interests OF the country, and we heartily indorse
the consistent and patriotic action OF the reDub-
hcan representatives in congress in opposing
its passage. We condemn the proposition of
the democratic party to place wool on the free
list, and we insist that the duties thereon shall
be adjusted and maintained so as to furnish
full and adequate protection to that industry.
The republican party would effect all needed
reduction Of the national revenue by repeating
the taxes upOn tobacco. which are an annoy
ance and burden TO agriculture, and the tax
upon spirits used in the arts and for mechanical
purposes and by such revision of the tariff laws
as will tend to check imports OF such articles as
are produced by the people, the production OF
which gives employment to our labor, and re-
lease from import duties those articles of for
eign production, except Injuries, the like of
which cannot be produced at home.
If there shall still remain larger revenue
than is requisite for the wants of the govern
ment, we favor the entire repeal of internal
taxes, rather than the surrender Of any part OF
our protective system at the joint behest of the
whisky ring and the agents Of foreign manu-
facturers.
CODICIL RELATING TO TEMPERANCE AND
MORALITY"
The first concern OF all good governments is
the virtue and sobriety of the people and the
purity of their homes. The republican party
cordially sympathizes with all wise and we'll

ance and morality

The Christian Union on the Republican Plat

The republican party has taken up the chal-
lenge OF the democratic party, and a clear and
definite issue is presented TO the American
voter by the contrasted platforms. Let US
state the issue in our own words. There is a
surplus in the treasury of Sl25.0 900, and an
annual increase threatened of S60000000 IL
this accumulation goes on, the country viii
soon be involved in hopeless bankruptcy, be-
cause in that case the money which COM
merce needs will be locked up in the
treasury vaults. TO protect the nation from
this serious menace, two policies are proposed.
The democratic party proposes to continue aD-
preparations of public money to such sums as
are necessary for an economical administration
OF the government; to retain the tax on alcO-
hol; to modify the tax on tobacco and to re-
duce the tax on imports by admitting raw ma
terials tree Of duty and by reducing taxes on all
articles Of necessity. If this involves some
manufacturers in commercial distress, the
party will regard the individual injury as
counterbalanced by the general good. The
republican party proposes to abolish the tax
on tobacco; 10 abolish also the tax on alcohol
used in the arts and manufactures; If neces-
sary, to do away with the national tax on
alcohol altogether; to retain the present tax on
imports substantially unchanged 10 retain it.
not because IL is necessary for revenue, but be-
cause 10 will foster and promote American
manufactures and keep up wages and il pro-
poses to accompany the policy of taxation
with one Of liberal appropriations, not only for
immediate governmental necessities, but for
the construction OF a navy and Of coast fortif-
cations, for river and harbor improvements,
for national aid to public education, and for
pensions, With this explanation we put the
policies Of the two parties in parallel columns,
to make apprehension of the difference be-
tween the two easier and clearer
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1888-06-13

1t would be an absurd and a dishonoroble af-
fectation If we were TO pretend 70 look upon
the issue thus framed with indifference. We
believe that il has vital relations to the future
of our country. We believe that the coming
election will be likely to settle the trend Of
national life for some years TO come. Nor have
we any wish to conceal our personal predic-
tons and predjudces They are in favor of
economical expenditures and a lowered tariff
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1888-06-13

We arc opposed to taking money from the
pockets of the people and boarding il in the
treasury OF the United States beyond the needs
of a proper administration of the government,
thus converting it into dead capital at the ex-
pense of the business of the country, and en-
couraging extravagant and corrupt expendi-
lures. To the end that these cruel burdens be
removed from the taxpayers, and that such
expenditures shall cease we insist that the
taxes on imports be reduced to the lowest
point consistent with efficiency in the public
service, and we demand an immediate revision
and reform of the present unjust tariff as rec
commended in the late message of the president.
